Yeah, Christianity got us into this mess. It's Christians who are currently in charge. If your personal faith empowers you to fight fascism and love your neighbor, *good*, but please just keep it to yourself. It has no place in our government or policy.
I’m sorry did I say anything about government or policy? Nope I said we have to start making personal sacrifices to live without suffering in our own lives. No different than Buddhism’s goal.
You said, "Americans… need this sword now," which implies that it should apply to all Americans rather than just Christians, who definitely have never had a problem cutting people out of their (or all) life based on their beliefs. 🤔
That’s actually not what I said. The sword means you literally cannot compromise with people who do not love their neighbor even if it means you have to lose money or friends. It means if your circle is racist or transphobic you gotta leave. It’s also the same in other religions. It’s radical love.
You literally did not say anything that made sense Sword. Path. What? I mean really - you could be calling for violence. What were you attempting to say?
And I said everyone needs to find moral clarity in their own life which is opposite of trying to force your beliefs on others. The total opposite. It’s fixing your own heart instead of judging others.
Those are your literal words. I can accept that my interpretation of your meaning was inaccurate, but you can't say that's not what you said. 🤷 I can also admit I'm just really sick of Christianity and my response was more about that than your message which was unhelpful.
I don’t even call myself a Christian. I walk a very individual path guided by heart. And my goal is stop stop Nazis and I promise that you’ll not meet anyone who has given up more for that task nor who is willing to give more tomorrow. I grew up without The Beatles because of religion. I do get it ✊
