Theocracy Discussion Thread

[The New California Republic]

Why, pray tell?

Excuse the pun.

The pun is the answer

Because a guy who "Inspired" a book said so.

Just as well that the power of Christianity is waning.

depends on what countries. Christianity's future most likely lies in Africa.

Clearly, God has ordained this girl be made monarch of Sweden to restore Sweden's religiosity and fealty to the Catholic Church.

Indeed, but Africa is welcome to it.

I like the peanut butter example. Most people like peanut butter and will eat a spoonful if offered, but force feeding it to someone with a nut allergy is still torture.

It's more like forcing a person who may die from starving themselves to eat.

So, there's something wrong with being gay?

1. Got it. You're not capable of doing such.

2. So, because someone doesn't act like a bible humping ultra radical, then that makes them not what they say they are? The mental gymnastics you have to go through to get that point must be quite tiring. Explains why you can't come up with actual arguments.

Lol, such high amounts of salt aren't good for your heart fam; again, I'm merely judging you from what you've displayed so if you wanna be angry at someone, be angry at yourself.
Gotta say tho, that whole "hur dur you're incapable of making arguments/you can only use logical fallacies!11!!1!" would be an hintsy bitsy bit more more credible and less pathetic if it wasn't your pavlovian response to literally anyone disagreeing with you.

The Catholic Church, the western part anyways, is a heretic to the Orthodox Catholic Church

Thanks for proving yet again that organized religion as a whole is a sham to control the masses and force certain stances into their heads.

This man is trying to get people to not like Islam.

1. Yet again, your inability to make actual points shines through. It's cute how you try to be taken seriously.

2. So because I don't act like a bible humping radical, I must obviously be an atheist. Because obviously looking at religions through historical and critical lenses can't be done.

3. You don't even know what fallacies are. You think people correcting your English is an Ad Hom ffs, you threw a massive tantrum about it, remember?

It's cute how you think you things. Almost like a child learning simple math for the first time and thinking they can perform advanced calculus.

Yeah but the Eastern Orthodox are schismatics from the One True Church, so why does their opinion matter?

You should already be able to guess. Yes, I think there's something wrong with being gay. Or, for the sake of fairness, trans too.

[Rectification Government]

The only theocracy I support is Direct Theocracy, or rule directly by God, which existed in Ancient Israel before they just had to have a human named Saul as their king.

Ok but is it a crime? To have certain sexual inclinations that you can't control? Because, to me, that sounds psychotic.

Assuming that historical account is accurate.

Whether it is or isn't is a matter of personal conviction. I think that it is.

Every Prophet (SAWS/AS) was going by a direct theocracy technically. But what's wrong with an indirect theocracy?

Throughout mot of Christianity's history? Yes, it is a crime.

Never mind that the NT barely mentions anything relating to LGBT behavior/desires, or that people still treat it as wrong and immoral even though Jesus died to repent for that considered "Wrong" behavior/desire.

I would've understood if you merely said that homosexuality/transsexuality was more environmental than genetic, or that it's an uncommon trait..,

But going as far as calling it "wrong"?

Yeah, that's what I don't get. If Christianity makes a call to its followers to be loyal to Jesus and to adopt his ideals, shouldn't they be forgiving, and not judge others?

Apparently god invested us with the power to judge everyone.

Because why should us mortal humans dictate the Rule of God on others?
