CSA. I'm a neo-confederate in the sense of how Theodore Bilbo was a Black Nationalist- I support it because I want to get rid of a certain group (in Bilbo's case Black people, in my case poor rural Whites).

FF (GOP). The difference between these truckers and the BLM protestors is that these truckers are opposing government tyranny (mandates) while the BLM protestors were protesting a myth (systematic racism). Exception being that it's still bad to stop police/firefighters etc of course, but I don't think these truckers are doing that.

Honestly, that's not even the worst of it. The fact that he argues that the government forcibly outing LGBT youth is somehow not tyrannical because he agrees with it...

"History before 2002 is irrelevant to my... uh... church."

History which predates 2002, therefore predating my church, therefore irrelevant to them.

OK, if someone started an emo band in Germany in 2002, is that band responsible for the Holocaust?

A German starting an emo band =/= A Christian enthusiastically wanting to convert Jews to Christianity

Wait. Are you actually not seeing the irony here?

The point is institutions established after 1945 are not responsible for the Holocaust even if they're located in Germany.

By definition, all Neo-Nazi parties were founded after 1945.

And they endorse the actions of the National Socialist German Workers Party. Not be heavy into liberal ideology that's clearly opposed to it.

I'm not even talking about ascribing blame to anyone, you dingus. Your claim was that events that transpired prior to the founding of your church are "irrelevant" to your church, despite the fact that all churches are by definition centered around events that transpired prior to their existence.

You endorse the forced conversion of Jews to Christianity.

Nope.

You endorse the forced conversion of Jews to Christianity.

Nope.

The pretext for the theoretical conversion of Bernie Sanders and Glenn Greenwald was not their desire to convert, but you forcing them to convert because you'd prefer them as Christians.

The thread question said nothing about coercion. It's just based on the notion that you could choose people who'd willingly accept it. Which is not plausible but neither is almost any scenario posted here.

Also is Glenn Greenwald Jewish? I didn't know that if so. I just assumed he was an atheist. Regardless his religion or lack thereof is not what makes him so insufferably annoying.

I don't know how religious he is, but he's ethnically Jewish. As should be apparent by bring a Dustin Hoffman doppleganger. Unless you're going to pretend you don't know about secular and atheist Jews.

And thus Max Bemis is a Christian Jew. But it's irrelevant because that's referring to the Jewish ethnic identity, not the religion of Judaism.

In Greenwald's case whatever his ethnicity or religion or lack thereof is has absolutely nothing to do with him being about as pleasurable to read it interact with as being waterboarded.

The fact that Jews who convert to Christianity are still ethnically Jewish does not negate the history of Christians forcibly converting Jews, nor does it negate the fact that the Christians who forcibly converted Jews had no interest in preserving ethnic Jewish identity.

Hence the 2002 comment. My church is not responsible for anything pre-2002.

Is your church Christian or not?

Jesus was born before 2002, by the way.

So any Christian church is responsible for any actions of other churches before its founding?

Yes. John 17:20-23.

If you invented a new religion in 2002, you could plausibly claim that it is not responsible for anything pre-2002. But the fact that your church identifies itself as Christian places it within a larger historical tradition that predates its founding, and renders it at least somewhat responsible for the entire history of that tradition. You can pick one or the other, but you can't have both.
