1·11 days agoYes, somebody else also pointed out that we cannot trust the legal system to sentence the correct person (either due to corruption or legitimate mistakes).
Under the perspective of the “not undoable punishment”. Is the death penalty also, never acceptable, or is there some nuance, in your opinion?
Thanks for the discussion :)

11·12 days agoSome could argue that execution is more drastic. Why the first and not the latter?
I am guessing is a matter of cruelty?

1·12 days agoInteresting.
I only know the Protestant flavor of Christianity, and never, in many years, I got that kind of interpretation. It was more like “hey human, you are so doomed. Here you go: salvation. Now, in your unpayable gratitude, go and spread the word of what I’m doing, and do good stuff. Remember, without this gift, you were nothing, so, behave.”
Kind of like tiktokers that give stuff to homeless, trying to become viral… but a bit more ominous…
Sure, glory is promised, but you gotta die first.
Also, this “god entering our heart” seen more like “having the unmeasurable honor of being noticed by this god, and (mind being blown) he cares about me”. So the expected answer is eternal gratitude and a “debt of love”.

2·12 days agoThat is actually a great point. My comment started from the basis that “we got the right person, and they did what they are accused of”
But you are 100% right. That’s a huuuuge assumption.
What is your viewpoint if that assumption was (for whatever cosmic reason) correct?

1·12 days agoMeh… “eat god, become like god” makes no sense.
The whole point of Christianity (at least in this dimension) is that Jesus’ sacrifice is the ultimate mercyful gift fro God to undeserving humans. Participating in the communion is never a power trip to become like god, but a reminder that “you are still standing solely by his grace”.

wow, that’s new for me, would you mind to elaborate?
The rest, good points. You touched several reasons why I don’t endorse their faith myself.
Thanks for the comment

55·11 days agoMy humble opinion:
Many Christians (and people of other kinds of faith) truly want to be good humans. I know many christians. And although for many reasons I personally don’t take their faith for me, I do recognize their honest intentions and beautiful hearts.
Then… then we have these scumbags… these abominations that not only abuse (in the general sense), but also target and scar for life the most vulnerable members of our society. These excuses of human beings are a complete waste of air and
must be castrated andlet to rot in prison.Edit: Add strike-though. Great points in the comments. I must say I wrote too fast in the heat of the moment. I understand how castration may come from a desire of revenge rather than seeking to eliminate a threat to society. Thanks for the discussion!

DoW… DOW… coincidence? I think not
Love
Genuinely caring for one another.
From it stems empathy, respect, caring about the planet, about the ones struggling, and all the good stuff.
Take care, fellow humans ❤️

5·29 days agoOh, so I can post a bet on anything. And the game only starts when somebody picks up the other side: betting against my prediction.
