Christian Discussion Thread VIII: Augustine's Revenge.

[Salus Maior]

What are your thoughts and opinions on Islam?

I disagree with them on Theological grounds, but I think they could be great political allies in some respects.

A lot of what Muslims oppose in terms of social policy are things opposed by Christians, so in that respect they would be great allies against modernism and liberalism.

Of course, they're not because Christian factions in the West have decided to oppose all things Muslim. Which ironically forces them into the arms of the liberals who have decided to win their vote by allowing their immigration (which will probably come around to bite them in the ass in the future).

The Iconoclast heresy has appeared in the province of CDT!

This one is much better

Liberty is not anti-christian, so much so that Jesus Christ can be considered as libertarian.

It's a bit weird to assign modern political labels on Christ, though.

The right to have your family, support for decent work and other things are defended by both libertarians and Christ.

Yeeees but the very concept of libertarianism wasn't present in the first century CE.

I talk a lot about Christ's wish for the uplifting of the poor, the elimination of inequality, and the redistribution of wealth, but it doesn't mean I think Christ was a social democrat or a communist.

God's just God. Treebeard's line from Lotr comes to mind:

"Side? I'm on nobody's side. Because nobody's on my side."

It's a bit weird to assign ancient ethical rules on modern society though.

It goes both ways

Christian ethics have largely been continuous. Ethics prescribed by Jesus were taken up by the Church, which has preserved and spread these ethics for a couple millennia.

If we ever do meet aliens... let's not convert them to Christianity.

Good idea.

It wouldn't be relevant to them anyway. The New Covenant is between God and Humanity.

So aliens would have their own Christ?

They'd have some form of relationship with God I suppose. Not the same as ours.

Of course, I don't really believe in aliens. At least, none that we'll ever meet.

Look at Vietnamese Jesus dripping with swagoo.

Nonsense. That's the first thing we'll do after inviting them into our homes.

Well then don't come crying to me when you have to look at portraits of Klingon Jesus everywhere.

Klingon Jesus doesn't sound any different from Vietnamese Jesus over there.
