This is heavy stuff. Not so many know about this. ...and if "they" do know this, they keep it under wraps just to maintain a narritive. This is one aspect of it that doesn't make sense to me. ...like literally, everything is racist if you search google. By everything, I mean, everything I can think of. (walking, air conditioners, gardening, breathing, etc.) - there's SOMEONE explaining the racism behind that. But Margret Sanger dropping the 5-letter N bombs, talking about training a preacher to their ideals so they can "straighten out" who thinks they're trying to, literally, commit genocide on blacks.... but this isn't racist?Another aspect that doesn't make sense to me. Some BLM folks called themselves trained Marxists, but if anyone read the letter Marx wrote to Engels, July 30th 1862, Marx himself was dropping 6-letter N bombs a few times. ... but this isn't racist?If I show Karl Marx's letter to my sisters, they will get pissed at me. I had an argument with my 2nd sister about the truth about BLM, and we had our disagreement. No matter how many times we show the truth with evidence, facts, they still believe BLM is just. God is the Only One who is Just, and He loves all humans. God will have His vengeance on evil men.

You have to keep in mind, too - even if you disagree with BLM and Marxism, not everybody who belongs to those groups, supports the more reprehensible things the groups have done.

No matter how many times we show the truth with evidence, facts, they still believe BLM is just. God is the Only One who is Just, and He loves all humans. God will have His vengeance on evil men. The tricky part with BLM is that it is a duality. What they did is actually pretty clever, but manipulative - they simultaneously defined support for black lives (which is good) while being a marxist incorporated. (I'm not exaggerating when I say incorporated) Defined as in, they've blurred the lines so according to them, they mean the same thing. That way you have people that actually do believe with all their heart that black lives matter (and they do), yet they will be accused by BLM of denying that, if they reject the Marxism and other sociopolitical ideologies.

Woke Christian: "Jesus would socially distance to keep everyone safe."
Me: "Dude, Jesus touched lepers."

Jesus touched lepers in order to heal them. Are people who aren't social distancing performing miraculous healings? Is the takeaway from Jesus touching lepers really that we should go around touching people with contagious diseases? Also, I've noticed more and more how anti-mask "God will keep us safe" talk is reminiscent of how the devil told Jesus to test God.

There's a difference between putting yourself at risk and putting others at risk.
I don't see how Jesus' actions towards lepers particularly relevant to whether or not to social distance. Some scientific info of how the virus spreads + a cost/benefit analysis would do the trick. Of course, we should always apply Christian principles, but I don't think we can always find a 1-to-1 correlation between "specific things Jesus did" and "specific things we should do."

The takeaway from my 'memetext' would be that because some people think social distancing is the right thing to do, that Jesus would do it to, because Jesus always does the right thing. Its a stones throw away from "I don't think its right to eat meat because animals get killed, so Jesus wouldn't eat meat either." (and for this scenario, they would hope no one reads Luke 24:41-43 where Jesus omm nom nom nom'ed a broiled fish dinner)

Yeah, I can't stand when people do that. Perhaps, just maybe, it's possible that Jesus wants you to use your brain and figure out how best to apply his teachings to your unique circumstances, but to also recognize that you may be wrong for various reasons. This theological theory has never been proven.

I also have a rather long thought about Marxism, but I can save it if no one wants to hear it.

Speaking of science and stuff (that's really adult pretending)...
I recently encountered a whole system of "neopronouns" people are now using. (I bumped into this on Reddit)
Himself and Herself are typical gendered ones, but there's also mothself and asteroidself for people who want to identify as moths or asteroids.

people who want to identify as moths This is an esoteric/occult thing and I'm actually very familiar with it. I fear that as this identity thing goes on, the progressive crowd is going to dig a hole for themselves. Every day, what began as a change to the definition of "gender" is inching closer and closer to the very things I left behind and that damaged me so much.

I want to listen to a particular August Burns Red song but I don't remember any lyrics, just the beginning sad-sounding riff. avjr do you have mind-listening powers, by chance?

Craziest sore throat and earache I've ever had. Missed a week of work because me talking sounded like a cement mixer, and me swallowing felt like getting an ice pick shoved in my ear. I went to the doctor for this. Covid test was negative. Strep throat test was negative. It wasn't an ear or throat "infection" so it was 'some kind of virus; we're not sure which one' type of response from them. My throat and ear still hurts (week and a half since it started), but at least I can talk and swallow relatively normal.

Wasn't Covid, but the doctor said it might be some virus ( I forget the name). I used to get ear infections all the time as a kid, so I remember how painful that was.

Additional hope lost in Christian Metal Discords. Left another server.
I don't expect people online to have the same worldview (yes, politics) with each other at all... but I'm sad when Christian's can't just disagree with a different opinion, and let other people continue on... instead of going full 'bot and shill' like the server grafted to r/politics overnight. (where the article domain is attacked, then the news itself is attacked, then the person is attacked - just because its not a 'mainstream narrative' I guess, I don't even know)
I'll concede, what probably happened is was, I was as serious as a heart attack, and they were the laughing boys club, but still - I just can't take it anymore. (it being, unable to distinguish the responses between metal loving Christians discussing what's going on in the world, and a leftist hive dumpster fire, discussing what's going on in the world)

My personal opinion is that music-related online spaces should have a strict "no politics rule"--and yes, I'm aware that I've discussed politics on this forum.
Of course, someone will come along who tries to shoehorn politics into everything (sometimes in attempt to gain clout).

If people would just stop trying to talk about things they don't understand, things would be so much better. JUST ADMIT YOU DON'T KNOW. It's so much better than dealing with obnoxious, proud randos who read a clickbait "news" article and look at a FUNNY HAHA FACEBOOK MEEM and are suddenly philosophers, theologians, and political analysts.
