  • That's fair and very respectable, provided Marxism isn't attempting to replace God in this case. Is Marxism antitheist? Probably best to ask an actual marxist instead of listen to what people say about Marxists and what I've observed about The People's Republic of China.

  • You can implement measures to reduce oppression, but can never eliminate it.

  • No, it doesn't. For example, there are some people who have a Christ-centred socialist view. Karl Marx was Antitheist and Materialist. That's my main reason for disagreeing with Marxism.

    The reality is that no political system will ever abolish oppression due to The Fall.

  • You are literally advocating against the poor right now. Any hope of actually helping the poor, advancing the people's condition through systemic change, is impossible and a foolish, immoral endeavor, according to you, we should all just suffer and accept whatever oppression and injustice is inflicted on us so that we can get pie in the sky when we die. It's literally exactly what you're saying.

    No, I'm just saying that politics cannot replace God.

    Curiously, the crusades, which were also a political endeavor, do not fall under the same logic (nor does banning abortion, for that matter). Because it was a ruling class endeavor. The ruling class's boot is so far down your throat that you can't even speak coherently.

    It's the ruling class who seems to criticise the Crusades and Christianity the most

  • "supplied above" when you haven't even supplied them

    specifically because he values them less

    I think that's because they weren't angels literally sent from God, not because they were women 🙄 either that or he was exposing the sodomites for not being interested in women, but instead being interested in men

    1. good for you to acknowledge lot's christian misogyny! Lot begs a mob to rape his daughters to save his guests. Very christian(misogynist) and disgusting.

    Easy for you to say, since you're not in Lot's position. So what, he should have been misandrist instead and let them rape the men? They didn't even rape the daughters anyway, they were sodomites.

    1. Lot drank some wine. You believe he was so drunk he didn't realize his own daughters were having sex with him to completion for 48 hours? Ludicrous.

    Having sex with a drunk person is rape.

    and we know that in real life christians are pedophiles, rapists and murderers.

    And we know that in real life atheists are paedophiles, rapists and murderers.

    and we know that in real life muslims are paedophiles, rapists and murderers.

    and we know that in real life satanists are paedophiles, rapists and murderers.

    See? It's almost as if such people exist in literally every group of humans that exist.

    Jesus endorses misogyny, slavery and incest in "his" book, and so does anyone who worships his words.

    Convenient not to give any more examples apart from what I've already debunked. Define "misogyny" while you're at it.

  • So if I send a letter to a real person claiming that I'm god, does that make my claim immediately legitimate, or do we have to wait?

    That's not what the Bible is.

    Maybe you should listen.

    Not once did I advocate against helping the poor?

    Yes, sometimes we have to endure defeat, indignities, and abuse, sometimes we must recognize a conflict as unwinnable in the current state of affairs, but that's just a matter of surviving until that state of affairs can be changed. This is a practical, strategic calculation about how to win, it is not the same on giving up all hope of winning, of denouncing winning as immoral, and extolling the "virtue" of submission to authority. Surely you must understand this.

    You will never win. No matter the system you will be oppressed until the Kingdom of Heaven comes.

    Luke 6:20-26

    And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said: “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. “Blessed are you who are hungry now, for you shall be satisfied. “Blessed are you who weep now, for you shall laugh. “Blessed are you when people hate you and when they exclude you and revile you and spurn your name as evil, on account of the Son of Man! Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven; for so their fathers did to the prophets. “But woe to you who are rich, for you have received your consolation. “Woe to you who are full now, for you shall be hungry. “Woe to you who laugh now, for you shall mourn and weep. “Woe to you, when all people speak well of you, for so their fathers did to the false prophets.

    Luke 1:50-53

    And his mercy is for those who fear him from generation to generation. He has shown strength with his arm; he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts; he has brought down the mighty from their thrones and exalted those of humble estate; he has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty.

  • Cool. That describes most religions. So either you need to convert to basically every religion at once, or you need to raise your standards of evidence.

    Eh, not really. The Bibe points to specific points in time, letters appear to be addressing actual people and sending greetings, etc. They also reference real people contemporary for it's time. I haven't found any other religious document that does this. The Gospels and Epistles read as eyewitness testimony.

    Or the crusades, when the Byzantines asked the Church for help fighting the Muslims, and the crusaders sacked and looted Constantinople, leaving them more vulnerable?

    That part wasn't right, but I can see noble intentions behind the motivations.

    Then you'll be relieved to know that Marx never mandated any sort of atrocities, so that means Marxism has a totally clean record on that front.

    I know.

    Long haired preachers come out every night Try to tell you what's wrong and what's right But if you ask them for something to eat They will tell you in voices so sweet "You will eat, by and by, in that glorious land up in the sky! Work and pray, live on hay, you'll get pie in the sky, when you die" - that's a lie.

    Jesus criticised this exact attitude.

    Yeah, no thanks. If more people listened to your "submit to authority" bullshit, we'd still have chattel slavery. Fuck off with this bootlicking nonsense.

    So you don't submit to the authorities of the country you live in, then? What about your employer?

    You don't think I should care about politics? Well my boss and my landlord do, and every day they're working to make my life worse. It's long past time to start fighting back. We didn't start the class war. We just recognize it exists.

    I'm not saying you shouldn't. I'm saying that politics shouldn't be your god, which is a folly of most political systems
