The PC and Perpetually Offended Brigade

They're also addicted to the end of the world which, if you strip them of the fairy tale they think that will entail, is pretty nihilistic.

Right on both counts. He mustn't remember previous moral panics and buys into Jordan Petersons notion it that outrage created by those pesky Marxists in Liberal colleges.

A snooty, ostentatious dismissal of people's sincerely held beliefs by the oh-so-clever-professor followed by some confused sycophancy with a cursory dig at Dr. Peterson  (all members of the basket of déplorables!). Rapier sharp, boyz, well done.

If you read Jefferson's interpretation of the bible (pffft, not likely, amirite), which does strip away all the what you call 'fairy tales', it's about as far from nihilism as you can get. I'm not a religious man, but social justice, Jesus style, is preferable to online Stasi if you ask me.

How many of the evangelicals who believe the Jews must all return to Israel before Christ can return do you think are familiar with Jefferson's (rather common protestant) pragmatic interpretation of the bible? The one "fairy tale" I was referring to is the book of Revelations. Have you read that perchance?

[Caomhaoin]

Yes.

Who knows, maybe they'll be proven right.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Maybe Kev, maybe. In which case, if they're right, we'll see each other in hell, because that's where they all think we're going for eternity. Whatever about being fairy tales or not, they're certainly grim!

I could never understand the attraction of the doom and gloom, or why Calvin, Zwingli and these boys had so many adherents. At least us papes make it easy to get into heaven, relatively speaking!

[astfgyl]

Yep, very easy. All one has to do is sell their soul out to false idols for life and go against pretty much the whole message in the book that they are supposed to be basing their belief system on and then they get into heaven. It used to be purgatory first for a long time, but thankfully God's emissary on earth abolished in God's stead so it's all good and directly into heaven for all who make the right donations now. Jesus wept.

As for Israel and Palestine, they are both wrong in many many ways. They will also never sort it out because their respective religious beliefs prevent them from doing so, so that's fucked as well.

The 'trans community'.

I don't know which word is more sickening to me, trans or community, at this stage.

The white community. The heterosexual community. No, me neither.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

I don't know which word is more sickening to me, trans or community, at this stage.

Who gives a flying fuck which of those two particular words are more sickening to you if they are the two things that jump out at you as most sickening from that latest spurt of diarrhoea KC has shat onto the forum. He makes Nixer look like Jeremy fucking Paxman.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

You could have said the same to yourself above when you took umbrage at me referring to a book about angels, demons, and seven-headed monsters as a "fairy tale".

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Apparently, according to your totally warped brain, one can have "sincerely held beliefs", that it is rude to critique, about fantastical visions of the apocalypse, but if another believes they belong to a different gender than their physical one, that person is sick. Hum, hum.

Miow!
