Right-Wing Discussion Thread XVIII: Hyena Central Command 憶ラ

[Salus Maior]

I blame Protestants.

Yeah it's always our fault. While we have our issues, including but not limited the complete abandonment of Christianity in favor of secularism and becoming an arm of liberal politics, it wasn't our leaders raping kids.

Uh huh.

The development of Protestant historicism (the idea that you could peel back myths and find the real humanist face of religious sages) was a real thing which corrupted many non-Protestant religions and made them displace tradition in favor of fundamentalism.

I'm not sure why would this would be a gotcha to me, I'm not a Catholic. And American Protestants have their skeletons in the closet.

He's just trying to snipe at Catholics and ignore the fact that the problems that face Catholicism are universal.

I'm the one trying to snipe when the original quote was "I blame Protestants".

... but that was me. Salus and my religious beliefs are diametrically opposed to each other.

Which resulted in more than half of them being imprisoned or registered as sex offenders. How'd the RCC handle it again?

Yeah, me and Hana are eternal rivals.

Only after they had moved them around to different churches and communities rather than report them, to protect their image.

Just as the Catholic clergy had done. And likewise, most of them have lost their positions and/or have been tried by the authorities.

The thing is if liberal theology or massive loss in church attendance is the thing you are criticizing then Mainline Protestants are the biggest offenders. The Mainline Protestant Churches are the ones trying to be the most “woke” while at the same time hemorrhaging members at the highest rates.

From a right wing critique therefore mainline Protestants would be the logical target.

[Fahran]

Oh, yeah it's a shitshow.

I blame Protestants.

As long as it isn't our fault again.

[Hanafuridake]

If it makes you feel better, if I had to convert to any of the three, I'd pick Judaism over Islam and Christianity.

You know my opinion on Anti-Semites.

[Xuloqoia]

Although I may be a layperson, I can’t even be described as a believer in all honesty, I nevertheless find liberal theology (not just that which plagues the Christian faith, but that which plagues other faiths as well— I’m looking at you, Le Guin) to be... I’m at a loss for words, really. I’m going to go with “bad-wrong” even though it doesn’t precisely capture my viewpoint.

I think my views are close to yours on this. I am a deist/agnostic who does not care much about the details of theology. For me the primary purposes of churches/synagogues/temples is to give people a sense of community, meaning, purpose and both moral structure and morale.
Something beyond the alienation and nihilism of post modern consumerism.
Something more than Snapchat and Starbucks.

As long as the belief system is not actively destructive to Western society like Salafism it does not bother me.

But the Protestant Churches that have basically just become a DSA conventions parroting whatever “woke” stuff is in with the left crowd do not achieve the purpose of replacing the post modern garbage as they embrace it.

Oh, I was joking. I actually feel really good religiously, ethnically, and politically at the moment. I'm just getting the finals blues, I think. I should go listen to Tracey Chapman or BB King on repeat until I feel some kinda catharsis.

I've bought a YangGang t-shirt. I support Trump and hate the idea of UBI with a passion, but splenda-baby Jesus, Andrew Yang has been a meme gold mine.

I mean, the way I see things, Yang is the best of the lot. Not an ideal candidate, mind you, but in these strange times I’ll take what I can get, y’know? “Beggars can’t be choosers” or something along those lines.
