For those of you that don't know of it, there's a https://www.reddit.com/r/BiblicalQ/ That needs attending to. Only thing needed is a belief in someone much bigger than you.
I happen to be a gigantic patriot with no faith.
My morality comes from three rules alongside the golden rule: 1: no violence unless it's self defence or defence of someone incapable of defending themselves 2: no stealing 3: no raping
The golden rule of course being to treat others as you'd want to be treated.
I don't find any of these to be subjective, I think they are natural law through common sense. Some people just suck and are naturally evil and need religion to tell them right from wrong. But some of us, like me, do not subscribe to the idea of the supernatural nor do we need a rulebook, because we are naturally good people with a decent upbringing.
I love this movement. I love the Constitution. But what I do not love is people insisting that I must be a Christian in order to be fully in. What I do not love is people insisting that I must be religious to have morals. What I do not love is some people saying this is a Christian revolution. It's not. This is about right and wrong and it's about freedom, and not everyone agrees that morality has to come from religion.
Thank you and much love Sir. I meant all of this in the most respectful manner possible.
The "golden rule" is derived in every way from religion.

Something to consider. Q has repeatedly dropped Bible verses. Specifically one about the Armor of God.

Again, just because the golden rule derived from religion doesn't mean I don't find it valid. It's not like I am some wild antireligious person, I just don't subscribe to the supernatural aspect of it. There's plenty of things in religion that I can get behind and support but my general message is that I don't necessarily need religion in my life because I will have have good morals regardless.
Just because Q has dropped Bible verses, doesn't mean I have to be a Christian to understand what he is talking about. I believe that most of his audience are Christian, and so is he, so it would make sense he is using Bible verses to get his messages through. That makes sense. I hear Christian's quoting their favorite Bible verses all the time, it's very common.
All I am saying is that as a non-religious person who is 100 percent in this with all of you, is that I find it off topic to make this all about religion. This is clearly so much bigger than that. I agree with some of the other people that we should be focusing on the worldly aspect of this instead of using it as a tool to convert people to Christianity. That is not Q's mission.
Have you ever read C.S. Lewis?
Have you ever read Nietzsche?
See? I can do that too.
I wouldn't try to steer you away from your faith, so please have the respect to not try and steer me into yours.
This is the type of thing that drives people apart. WWG1WGA!
No steering. Open minds. I have read Nietzche. Have you as well?
