In this case, the token old white guy happens to be a real old white guy, but the trope is still very much a real thing. They love reminding us that white men are aging out and will quickly become a (mostly mocked) minority in the halls of power.
If they really excluded us we'd be forced to act like a community. Instead they hire and men accept that. I mean maybe not even a majority but some.
I wish they would literally say we're not going to hire or promote white men any more. Go home and find a way to make a.living with other white people.
Reformed Christianity offers one path to eternity with God: Christ. We are saved by grace, which is freely given. That’s salvation.
If you know Christ, you’ll try to live according to the law God set out for us, which does include turning away from sin. That’s sanctification. It’s hard. We fail. But if we repent, we are forgiven of all of it.
I don’t have to wear special clothes or turn around three times and pat my head or sacrifice goats or give half my money to the church. Those things won’t save me. Only Christ. And he already did.
Given the choice between eternity with God and eternity separated from him, I choose the former. It’s not a fear thing, it’s a love thing. Fear is compulsion, and you’re right in that false religions lean heavily on that aspect. But love is a choice.
Christian theology is a profound, challenging topic with the opportunity for lifelong learning and growth and meaning. You do indeed have a very simple understanding of it, and I lived much of my life in the very same mindset. I’d challenge you to dig a little deeper. You might be pleasantly surprised.
If somebody tells me a baseball is 6” across and filled with air, I wouldn’t consider them a representative of the sport. The Bible is the ultimate source of truth on that topic and many others.
That kind of bypasses his point. He's talking about having a relationship with the Supreme Being, not the intermediary (i.e., the pastor).
Any person claiming to represent any religion can say and do whatever they want to get what they want (as we've seen with a lot of the heads of structured religions engaging in all sorts of debauchery), but as GreatBee is pointing out, he's attempting to establish and maintain a relationship beyond the gatekeepers, the latter of whom are fallible and malleable to all the whims of materialism.
Justification and salvation are free gifts, according to the Bible: “... justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.” -Rom 3:24
If Lutherans say God’s love is free and true, they’re right, but I’m just going by what the Bible says.
I think it’s reform in general, but again, if that’s part of Lutheran theology, I’ll say they’re right!
Catholics have their own ideas about salvation I don’t necessarily agree with, but I don’t believe they’re doomed by any means, haha. They are Christian too.
Like I said, Christian theology is a profound and challenging topic I’ve spent some soul-searching and prayerful time on. There’s a lot to it!
My point is you don't understand Christianity which isn't "do the right thing or burn in hell" but "do the right thing because it is the right thing". Whine more about your lack of understanding
Voltaire explained this ages ago, as have many others, and woke Current Year should be enough proof that people will create new gods if they don't have one.
Maybe YOU don't need religion, but society does.
From a religious perspective, you might also understand that the fire and brimstone pastor is not merely trying to scare you, but really does want to save your soul.
Awww... lookit the downvotes from the angry neckbeards...
Look, the first thing you need to understand about Christianity is it's not about appeasing an angry God. The first rule about Christianity is you can NOT appease God!
Heh. The fat fuck with (clearly staged) nature powers treats people as subhuman slaves and pretends to know about photosynthesis, only to nod along with the debased pig telling her that their goal is to permanently remove carbon from the atmosphere.
HAH. Looks to me like that lard-bucket 'mother nature' wannabe doesn't know how photosynthesis works either. I have not laughed like this in a while, thanks.
Bonus: The cucks defending this video in the replies can't figure out why carbon in the atmosphere is vital to the continued survival of a great majority of life on earth either.
I mean how do you know its purpose is to elicit anger? It could just as well be done to normalize their weirdness, or because they're eyebrow deep in the climate doomsday cult sludge.
Gotta be careful not to fall into the same trap as lefties just knowing everything a conservative does is because they secretly hate brown people.
By all means have your suspicions about their motivations, but claiming to know for certain requires much more evidence.
Our aim is to completely remove carbon from the atmosphere
I first heard this not too long ago and thought it was a strawman. Nope, it's fucking Apple.
If nothing else, liberals could not have made a better example of how they've idolized black women. They've literally deified this arrogant, fat bitch, and scrambled for her approval.
That cringe-fest was half an inch and a competent writer away from turning into an okay episode of a horror series.
How about you offer cellphones that don't need replacing every 2 to 4 years because they start dragging their feet for every task and the battery's usable capacity is down 75%?
Capping the OS-sucking apps and updates on older phones to keep them running smoothly, and offering cheap, easy switching an old battery to a new one at the store.
( Or is it the processor wearing-out causing the drag and lag? )
That whole scene was cringe - but what was even more cringe was the 300lb cow telling us about how Apple won’t use leather in any of their watch bands or iPhone cases anymore because it hurts the environment.
You know what hurts the environment?! Your eating habits!
You guys don't get it, we're not LITERALLY pagan because our only transcendental value is saving the planet. Mother Nature is a useful SYMBOL, we don't believe in Her per se, just as a way to convey our unquestionable duty to the climate and environment. Humans have no special place on this planet, therefore it is imperative that we use all of our reason (which came from nowhere) and economic capacity (which was built on imperialism) to save the planet, and this makes sense to us. In fact, fewer humans would be better for the Planet, even though we don't believe in some sort of non-human consciousness that would benefit. Things would just be better for everything. Which is ultimately meaningless but necessary to the point of human suffering for its sake.

Ah right, I forget that your kind do not understand how photosynthesis works. I will explain, for the benefit of science, of course.
See, in the atmosphere, there's a molecule called carbon dioxide. One carbon atom, two oxygen atoms. Much like the dihydrogen monoxide prank in the late 90s, the normalfags have convinced themselves that carbon dioxide is EVIL and HAS to be eradicated. Facts dont matter - only that their corporate owners have riled them up into a frenzy.
However, this simple molecule is key to photosynthesis - a life-sustaining chemical reaction by which atmospheric oxygen is produced. Without carbon in the atmosphere, all photosynthesis-dependent life forms die out. That means a great majority of living creatures on earth are next. Unfortunately, that lardbucket calling herself 'mother nature' isn't aware of this either, as expected of a corporate-funded tub of fat given a soapbox.
Of course most people are against the total destruction of the planet's biosphere. Why is that a surprise? Now, your task is simple; try to go on without oxygen, a byproduct of photosynthesis for as long as possible. Why I want you to report results is simple; I want everyone to see the effects of anoxia and suffocation.
Please begin the experiment, and report your progress - minute by minute, preferably. Thank you.
A small amount of this 'greenhouse effect' is absolutely necessary for life on earth. Without it, nights would plunge down into sub-zero temperatures, which as you know, is bad news for living creatures.
That's where the problem comes in. While I admit that balance is key to the continued sustenance of the ecosystem, the overfed corporate gluttons admit that eliminating carbon from the atmosphere permanently is their goal. Opposing such an omnicidal policy does not make this group "against everything".
On the contrary, being against the total eradication of a great majority of life on earth is a justifiable stance.
Next, I would like to explain why this advertisement sends a terrible environmental message.
For one, it depicts "mother nature" as an arrogant, unlikable individual who talks down to everyone. This instills a sense of resentment against the cause of protecting the environment as a whole, with the justification of "she's an arrogant bitch, she deserves it".
Secondly, the advertisement sweeps the process of mining, refining, assembly and production of apple merchandise under the rug with bland, often unbelievable statements from overfed corporate heads. It also ignores just how harmful apple products are to the environment due to their inherent design flaws, yet at the end, the advertisement makes the viewer think that Apple has nature's approval.
Two things wrong with that.
They don't.
They had to let a plant wilt, then use CGI to bring it back to feign approval of nature. That's fraud, man.
Also, all Octavia Spencer managed to do here is to alienate actual environmental causes and sucked up to Apple's marketing department for some fast cash.
In this case, the token old white guy happens to be a real old white guy, but the trope is still very much a real thing. They love reminding us that white men are aging out and will quickly become a (mostly mocked) minority in the halls of power.
We should be on Mars.
If they really excluded us we'd be forced to act like a community. Instead they hire and men accept that. I mean maybe not even a majority but some.
I wish they would literally say we're not going to hire or promote white men any more. Go home and find a way to make a.living with other white people.
I have ideas for when that happens.
only if it's a legal to and morally required to throw shit leftists out of the airlock.
Also, what’s wrong with leather? It’s a sustainable renewable resource.
The wanna worship something, anything, but Christianity is not fashionable. So, Slaanesh it is.
Reformed Christianity offers one path to eternity with God: Christ. We are saved by grace, which is freely given. That’s salvation.
If you know Christ, you’ll try to live according to the law God set out for us, which does include turning away from sin. That’s sanctification. It’s hard. We fail. But if we repent, we are forgiven of all of it.
I don’t have to wear special clothes or turn around three times and pat my head or sacrifice goats or give half my money to the church. Those things won’t save me. Only Christ. And he already did.
I’m not scared. I’m free.
Given the choice between eternity with God and eternity separated from him, I choose the former. It’s not a fear thing, it’s a love thing. Fear is compulsion, and you’re right in that false religions lean heavily on that aspect. But love is a choice.

If somebody tells me a baseball is 6” across and filled with air, I wouldn’t consider them a representative of the sport. The Bible is the ultimate source of truth on that topic and many others.
All of a sudden, a lot of the crap I've seen you post makes sense now that I know you're a reddit tier atheist.
That kind of bypasses his point. He's talking about having a relationship with the Supreme Being, not the intermediary (i.e., the pastor).

Lutheran spotted
Interesting. Not a Lutheran.

If Lutherans say God’s love is free and true, they’re right, but I’m just going by what the Bible says.
"Saved by grace" is the common belief in the Lutheran sect, where as Catholics believe it to be insulting.
I think it’s reform in general, but again, if that’s part of Lutheran theology, I’ll say they’re right!
Catholics have their own ideas about salvation I don’t necessarily agree with, but I don’t believe they’re doomed by any means, haha. They are Christian too.

You don't understand religion or especially Christians
No, not any Christians, you just aren't educated, its okay to be retarded though
My point is you don't understand Christianity which isn't "do the right thing or burn in hell" but "do the right thing because it is the right thing". Whine more about your lack of understanding
Hes a sinner living in sin who is scared of God because sin has consequences. You can't reason with that type of person
Voltaire explained this ages ago, as have many others, and woke Current Year should be enough proof that people will create new gods if they don't have one.
Maybe YOU don't need religion, but society does.
From a religious perspective, you might also understand that the fire and brimstone pastor is not merely trying to scare you, but really does want to save your soul.
Tell me you don’t know a thing about Christianity without telling me a thing about Christianity.
Religion and moral fables are not the same thing - though they do have some commonalities.
Awww... lookit the downvotes from the angry neckbeards...
Look, the first thing you need to understand about Christianity is it's not about appeasing an angry God. The first rule about Christianity is you can NOT appease God!

We know. That's kind of his point.
Tbf your statement was hard to understand. I stopped.
this. how pathetic, insecure, and jealous must they be that they have to spend millions running ads about how racist and sexist they are?
I first heard this not too long ago and thought it was a strawman. Nope, it's fucking Apple.
If nothing else, liberals could not have made a better example of how they've idolized black women. They've literally deified this arrogant, fat bitch, and scrambled for her approval.
Funny enough, the company that is doing the most to remove carbon from the atmosphere is Occidental Petroleum.
"NOT LIKE THAT!!!"
