The warfare and subjugation that empires have done for centuries. Oppression of people that did not succumb to societal norms That's the human condition draped in a christian cloak.
It was REAL christians doing MAN things. Christianity acknowledges man is a flawed creature. We are all sinfull.
You will never take responsibility for the actions of your flock or your shepherds. God is nothing more than a crutch that you may use to make excuses for your current situation without ever having to change or be introspective. Your religion is nothing beyond apologetics.
Because of this, you will always fail when confronted by any principled force, or you simply cave to the demands of someone more powerful than you.
Until you learn to take responsibility and bear your cross, you will never learn, and your ideology will always be routed by minimal pressure.
I don't have to make excuses for them. Apologists don't apologize, we justify. The former is explaining circumstances that cause something not to be right and the latter is telling you why it was right all along.
I have been introspective and come to my conclusions. Coming to conclusions any other way seems retarded. Yes, they are open to being changed, but I'd need to see some new data or theory to budge me,
Principled force? Like who. Antifa, BLM have principles, retarded ones, but still principles. You think they're going to blow me over like a house of cards?
Bear my cross? Have you heard of the Protestant Work Ethic? You will find no more stalwart shoulders on which to place your cedar.
You mean you rationalize. You make excuses.
No, they're only concerned with power.
No, I think you'll bend to them. Just like they did with the entire Catholic Church. Liberation Theology is the wave of the future for many Christians.
I doubt that. I've seen only a precious few Christians that could live up to such a standard. I seriously doubt that you're one of them if you are prepared to engage in limitless rationalization of how your particular tribe can do no wrong.
I'm Lutheran. We are the first to say that we are filthy sinners that cannot be absolved but for the grace of God. We are the OG protestants, catholic guilt has nothing on this shit. "Better a jew have a millstone tied around his neck and tossed into a river than convert one of our christian brothers." That is our tradition.
Call it rationalization if you like, there is a rational. A sturdy one. One that is stuck to fervently. Sola Scriptura. We don't bend the rules for political convenience. (Will admit, I'm not the best example here because I'm not a literalist, but I will go to war over the points made in the Catechisms.)
