Almost every position the left has, is actually just an attack on Christian beliefs?

    Instead of judging maybe you could try having a bit of compassion.
    No one called you a white devil, bar yourself. You seem to have a bizarre persecution complex.
    You don't have to feel guilty but you don't even judge them either.

    You mock & judge their level of intelligence when they simply do not have the same educational opportunities as we do. Its shameful.

    I have never mocked them, I am just a realist.

    Regardless of how hurtful these truths are we must learn to accept them, it will end better for us all if we do.

    You view yourself as superior when you have had far more opportunities to succeed and prosper than they have.
    That's not being a realist, that's being delusional.

    Deuteronomy 32:8 "

    So we should take everything in this book literally? Amazing how the bible crowd tell us to ignore this particular book when you point out the horrific things in it. It would but the koran to shame.

    The problem starts when we take the Bible seriously. Or any religious texts.
    But the issue is not with the text, the issue lies with humans.
    Only we could take the concept of "love one another" and reinterpret it as "if you don't want to be my brother, I'll bash your skull in". Communism, "let's share what we got" as "anyone who doesn't agree gets put in a Gulag". Capitalism "let's create wealth for everyone" as "I am going to fcuk everyone and keep all the money". At least despots and dictators are honest. "Do as I say or your head will be chopped off".
    Humans beings are nasty, selfish and violent arseholes. We poison the planet we're on and each other and that is just greed and stupidity. The real fun starts when it comes to doing nasty sh*t to each other on purpose.
    We invented the concept of genocide, holy war, concentration camps, using mass rape as a weapon, discounting people who are different to us (be that in appearance or beliefs) as "subhuman", using famine as a tool of war and the very best thing is, we regard anyone who engages in this kind of vile behaviour as a "hero" and "we did what had to be done".

    Anyon who disparages other groups of humans based on whatever argument is part of the problem, rather than part of the solution.
    The may suffer from severe Arseholeitis.

    According to some afro centrist every white person is a racist and a white supremacist.

    But no I do not hate anyone because of their race and I don't want to rule over anyone because of their race so im actually neither of those things.

    Some of the wealth should have been used to help the local population I agree with you there.
    But the reality is those native peoples sat on all those resources for thousands of years and didn't even know what they do with them, they didn't know how to mine, how to farm on a large scale, not even how to build a wheel.
    Since they were letting it all go to waste I believe europeans had a right to make the most of it.

    Not even close by the looks of it. The more you post the less you sound like you've based your opinions on anything other than notions. Don't try and justify your own views by pretending everyone else is on the same page but too afraid to say it.

    I do not want to copy and paste entire articles so I will post a link to one I like when I put in the Google search why the left hate the Bible.
    When I was younger I was very leftwing myself but as I grew older I grew out of it.






    https://wsau.com/blogs/ben-armstrong-blog/20344/rebelling-against-god-is-actually-whats-behind-almost-all-left-wing-beliefs/

    People use religion as a control. There's nobody better than your betters to tell you Jesus wouldn't agree with you.
    The left being traditionally non-religious wouldn't be doing that, which is Ironic as Jesus was a socialist, based on the stories.

    To be fair any adult who believes in Angels and faries shouldn't be allowed out unaccompanied, IMO.

    Very productive people turned a wasteland into very productive soil.

    For those few sins white people have committed in the past I am sure with our technologies and medical procedures we have more than made up for it now.

    Europeans and people of European descent are responsible for 97% of the accomplishments in the field of science.

    An absolute fact of history that no Leftist can spin no matter how much it pains them to admit.

    Its all because us evil white devils, yes every single white person on earth without any exception is an evil white supremacist racist whose only goal in life is to hold down the brothas.

    Nothing wrong with being white, hetero or male, personally I go by the old "don't be a cnut" principle.
    Never be cruel, never be cowardly and never eat pears.

    And never condem an entire group of people.
    Judging others because they share the same sex, ethnicity, backround, religion, or skin color is an extremely cnutish thing to do.

    I haven't actually condemned anything you have said either, I mean I think it's deplorable, I think anyone of any race or creed who spouts bs based on stereotypes or mistruths is pretty deplorable, so in that way I would think of both white and black supremacist in exactly equal terms.

    In my understanding the hard left despised Christianity and Judaism because of their strong promotion of the family. 'Western values' and capitalism stemmed from this Judeo - Christian culture.

    In a communist state for eg this devotion needs to be redirected toward the State as a whole instead. Hence the suppression of religion.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,136 ✭✭✭✭Danzy


    One could better argue that most of the positions of the modern Left are Anti Left, extreme free market positions.

    40 years ago these positions were mostly confined to extreme free market libertarians like the Koch brothers.

    The Left have a class divide between itself and most of the electorate. It is a key reason it is in such trouble electorally. That us a real pity but it is
    Getting worse rather than better.
