Maturing in order to be a better person and partner? It takes so long, it’s annoying because you have to face your own shortcomings, it’s arduous because it doesn’t come naturally to you, it’s hurtful because you have to accept you have been fucking up for ages and God knows who else has suffered because of this trait… but it’s worth it, because your better half requires it.
One Irish Pub (popular chain here in France/Europe) in Avignon cause I puked all over the counter. Although I assume they’ve forgotten cause it was about 10 years ago… but I also haven’t drank in about 5 years so it’s not like I care, lol.
After they created confessions (meaning somehow the priest can ‘cleanse’ you of your sins, God won’t take you touching your niece into consideration for your judgment because you told some old dude about it and you recited 5 prayers to virgin Mary, lol) and purgatory (it used to be a binary destination, either Heaven and Hell, but the Church needed money lenders and usury to get coin for wars and whatnot and made it up to legitimise what had been seen as inmoral for ages) Christian dogma was fully cooked.
The problem starts with Paul (well, actually, with Rome and the creation of a new religion, and then the Council of Nicea. People in the West would’ve been some kind of Jewish if not, like Jesus was) and his idea of “faith without works” and “belief that God exists and Jesus submitted to Him is enough to be saved!”, which was vehemently opposed by Jesus’ actual followers that understood that faith without works is dead at best, hypocritical if not, and that even “demons believe in God, and they shudder” (sure, God exists and is always watching, but do you act like it?!). But Rome preferred/established this as canon and you can see the repercussions everywhere today, particularly in the Godless, amoral West. How could they act right, when their ideological base is so flimsy and tolerant of sin?
What a wonderful and hopeful take, all things considered, lol. Thanks for your reply. 🙏
You can’t just depend on the villain du jour and bloodthirst for unity though. I mean, I guess you can as recent history shows, but you also cannot believe yourself and your country to be anything but a rabid dog and a danger to everyone else…
Fair enough, I made the adjustments. 🙏
Maybe I give up too easily. Let’s hope God heard ya and has some plans for the few (?, am I just too negative?) Americans that can still be saved/lay the foundations for a new society. I kinda feel they’ll need Him, lol.
Who’s holding anyone back, especially in something so morally neutral as this? Why do you think the unreasonable take is the common one? And if it were, who would you ask for it to be ‘normalized’? Shouldn’t we do what we think is right and avoid what we think is wrong regardless of whether it’s popular or not? Are people just afraid of calling out idiocy? You can do it kindly. Or are they afraid of confrontation with the stupids? And it’s always something shockingly silly like ‘normalize kissing your kids goodnight’ or ‘normalize talking about trauma with your parents who traumatized you’ like who the f told you not to and why would you ever take that person seriously?!
This is not something I particularly care about but this is where I come to e-shout my old man rants, thanks for reading! 🙏
Christians and Jews who don’t believe in one God, who’s good and gave us all of this for free and commands morality? You do understand words and labels are cheap, right? I look like a Colombian drug dealer, could I just call myself a Norwegian woman (I’m a dude) and that makes me so? Evidently I’m not, and evidently they’re not either, because the basics of both religious groups are a belief in God who commands us to be righteous, from the story of Adam, Cain and Abel, to Moses, to the teachings of Jesus and Muhammad. I have heard that Talmudic teachings (so, not the Tanakh, or the Pentateuch for us goyim) can be pretty racist, and so can be American Christian teachings with supply side Jesus and the condemnation of empathy (lol), but anyone with two working braincells and the tiniest amount of moral conscience will act right and leave the lies alone.
They can say whatever they want, but they don’t act like they believe that God is watching and will judge them for their actions, so the question that remains is only: are they that stupid they don’t realize they’re going against the basics of what should be their ideologies or are you the stupid one for believing they’re A because they constantly say so but they only act like B? Should I believe that Donny has the American populace in mind and wants nothing but the best for them cause he says so or should I use my eyes and grey matter?
The American masses already accepted that you can be a billionaire through hard work and dedication and not through theft, corruption and abuses of power, so why wouldn’t they accept that these rich fuggs, who would never give out a dime for no reason, gave such a big present out of the kindness of their hearts?
Americans haven’t had a brain in so long, y’all need to stop keeping your hopes up for some sort of proletarian revolution there…
“They weren’t considered white” only for ideological reasons that can only hold water amongst white Europeans (this is a tautology), lol, don’t give me that. Just because you’re all problematic amongst yourselves, confused and really needed a caste system in America doesn’t mean you’re not of the same tribe and ideologically waaaaaay more similar than different. That’s why the Europeans have historically moved the same whether they’re in the American continent, in the Middle East, in South Africa, in India, etc etc.
The Europeans Jews (whether they believe or not, I’m talking about the ethnic and cultural group) are evidently European, the Zionist movement was constructed by European and American (displaced Europeans, I’m not talking about the Natives here) Jews, the ones murdering and pillaging the region in the name of Israel are Europeans, etc etc.
Yeah, it would take a particularly competent, wise and self-sacrificial dude/tte or team to wrangle the masses of hateful morons, kindly direct them towards thought, morality and prosociality, and make something new out of country that was baptized in the blood of innocents (and loves taking blood baths!).
When freaking Germany offers a better sense of community than the USA, you really know Americans are cooked. Congrats on the move, I commend your brave spirit and I’m glad you’ve found your tribe/somewhere you’re comfortable in. 👍
Imagine meeting your Creator and when he asks you why you cheated on/abused your wife and destroyed your family and their psyches, or why you supported ideologically and financially the death and destruction of innocents around the world, or why you spread corruption in the land for coin, among other questions and you’re just “idk 🤷”.
The ‘I was just following orders!’ folks will burn in Hell forever, and the ‘but I didn’t know!’ when they could’ve easily known is definitely there in great numbers as well…
People who say “should be normalised” haven’t fully understood what free will entails, lol.
Bro, the VAST MAJORITY of American Jews and Israelis are of the same mixed Eastern European and Germanic stock, hence their looks and last names, lol. Where do you think all these -bergs and -owskys are coming from, Syria? I mean, this is evidently a bit of a personal topic as you said you’re part of an American Jewish family but what do you look like ? Are you not white of European stock or are you a Japanese/Moroccan/Nepali man?
And I’m glad your cousins are not Zionists (many Israelis are, but not a singular Jew is a Zionist), the more moral non-sociopaths the better! But those who are, and those who support the colonial state of Israel either have blood on their hands, knowingly agree with what’s happening and would make the same hell damning decisions, or are too mentally challenged/lazy to even try to understand what’s going on but support death and destruction regardless. They really do believe that they can murder and pillage to their heart’s content (like the proto Americans and the Natives, a story as old as Europe…).
Zionists cannot be God fearing, because accepting Zionism is like accepting Nazism or Manifest Destiny: those who don’t look like me will be dehumanised so I can get their lands and resources (and even possibly their forced labor). They’re all problematic atheists, evidently, the same way all American politicians who have funded genocide for decades will call themselves Christian but they could only fool the blind and mentally impaired. And Israelis are of European stock, tf? Do they look Nigerian, Moroccan or Japanese to you? Bolivian or Polynesian maybe? Lol. If this is not a bit, or you’re not a paid agent, then I guess your heart’s in the right place because you care in earnest about racism but the hardware upstairs is lacking/propaganda has infected you deeply. And it really isn’t more complex than “Israel was a French and British colonialist project (they ended up owning a huge chunk of the Middle East after WW1) that has murdered, pillaged and cornered the native population for about a century” and anyone who believes differently hasn’t done even the quickest of online searches. What is it? Do you feel like I’m saying it’s your fault and that’s why you’re recoiling? Cause I’m not. Or is it just your propagandised psyche in cognitive pain?
I would say autonomy instead of democracy. Many countries here have the same bi-partisan system with both sides being financed by competing (or not) mustache-twirling villains, and ultimately nobody knows nor has a hand in what happens in Brussels… The only reason we’re not more cucked by the powers that be is because our populations are more reactive (?).
Constantine and Minority Report shouldn’t be on that list, IMO. The former in particular is very well executed and thoroughly enjoyable!
McD is pretty much the height of American cuisine, lol.
