Music like metal and rap are antithetical to Christian; that's the point I was making, anon. Also, someone should probably let her know that the Epic of Gilgamesh predates Noah, and that the dead sea scrolls also contain lots of fantastical accounts that put the current version of the Bible into question on many fronts. Or that the story of Joseph is the story of Jesus rehashed (or was it the other way around?). Or that there are many stories of many gods that have some essential key overlaps with the story of Jesus according to Raglan's Hero Pattern. But hey, many people's takeaway is that those scrolls prove the Bible and stuff, so it's all good in the end, I suppose.

I don't take issue with people believing in something that convinces them toward proclivities of harmonious existence. If you want to believe in the flying spaghetti monster's undying love in sacrificing his first born meatball for the sake of our human shortcomings, I'm game. Freedom of Religion and all that (although the initial draft of this was "Freedom of Denomination", but I digress). As long as that religion's system of morals lends itself to cohesive and progressive societal values, I'm a friend of yours. When your religion's extremist sects demand everyone worships said meatball or lose their head, however, I will respond with undying dedication to calling out the contradictions in your doctrines; as they are based solely on the idea that your religion's collection of books do not conflict (they do).

Benjamin Franklin summed it up nicely in a letter to Ezra Stiles, President of Yale College:

"You desire to know something of my Religion. It is the first time I have been questioned upon it. But I cannot take your Curiosity amiss, and shall endeavour in a few Words to gratify it. Here is my Creed. I believe in one God, Creator of the Universe. That he governs it by his Providence. That he ought to be worshipped. That the most acceptable Service we render to him is doing good to his other Children. That the soul of Man is immortal, and will be treated with Justice in another Life respecting its Conduct in this. These I take to be the fundamental Principles of all sound Religion, and I regard them as you do in whatever Sect I meet with them.

As to Jesus of Nazareth, my Opinion of whom you particularly desire, I think the System of Morals and his Religion, as he left them to us, the best the World ever saw or is likely to see; but I apprehend it has received various corrupting Changes, and I have, with most of the present Dissenters in England, some Doubts as to his Divinity; tho’ it is a question I do not dogmatize upon, having never studied it, and think it needless to busy myself with it now, when I expect soon an Opportunity of knowing the Truth with less Trouble. I see no harm, however, in its being believed, if that Belief has the good Consequence, as probably it has, of making his Doctrines more respected and better observed; '''especially as I do not perceive, that the Supreme takes it amiss, by distinguishing the Unbelievers in his Government of the World with any peculiar Marks of his Displeasure."

That very last sentence is Jer 17:10 epitomized. So, is it my opinion that it's cringe-worthy to let our youth be exposed/influenced by doctrines programmed into the tools of the world to emphasize their "veracity"? Yes. Are they at least believing in something that might lead to a better society down the road? Sure. Am I expected to put stock into the claims they make if they do nothing but serve their own confirmation biases without any real evidential proof? Hell no. Do we basically agree on things like morality, law, and the eternality of the human spark/spirit? Sure.

Multiple paths, same destination. I just choose to get there without the Gangsta-Christian-hippity-hoppity Hymns.

What about Benny's take? Or did you read the first sentence and rage press the "New Reply" button?

This is a movie that doesn't require our participation. The point of it is to wake up those that might have had some sympathies with these BLM and Antifa movements. Eventually, they'll get tired of not making their payments and relent a vote to the Republican candidate running for the various local offices in their local/state governments.

Thinking cap, anon.

Anon,

This part of the show is flying over most people's heads, but what they are doing is:

1. 100% coordinated (whether they know it or not) with the WH.

2. Intended to invoke panic in people who are paying attention, and move them to "action".

3. Demonstrate the duplicity in law enforcement and justice between conservative and liberal views.

You don't need the armor of God for that. You need a heavy dose cynicism and reading between the lines. Pic very much related. The difference between a couple of years ago with Q and current day Q plan is Q isn't giving us all the heads up in how the plan works from here.

Here are your current options:

1. Get out there and do something. Fuck yeah!

2. Come here and bitch at Q for not doing something. Fuck yeah!

3. Kick back, relax, and watch the plan unfold on folks trying to figure out whether they should do option 1 or option 2. (looks at the nation's elected officials from the local level all the way up to the federal level).

Look at this Q post:

This is DJT's Q team talking directly to Scalise (and the rest of Congress, actually). Q is asking if Congress can prove anything towards intent to cause harm and destroy the American way of life over a fucking election. Q is talking directly to members of Congress: "Can you prove it?"

Q's walking the American public, the world, through a lesson in civics and law. Are folks paying attention, or is the plan passing them by with each waking moment? Remember who you are talking to, through Q, here:
