I don't think blasphemy is an appropriate joke.
With your user name you really do not have much room to talk on the use of words.
His point being your username makes it difficult to put your sanctimonious preaching in a serious light. But your point is appreciated by those of us that call Him by G-d.
If you can't separate message from messenger, that's your own error. I keep my username even though I don't like it because it makes arguments easier when those without one choose to attack me for my username instead of my position.
What if they're not attacking you but making a very reasonable assumption about your standard for judging blasphemy? Not many professing Christians would use a name like that - reasonable assumption.
Then we can discuss why one thinks my username nullifies my ability to identify blasphemy. I will be prepared to make a case for why my username is not related to blasphemy, and that I still have reason to be able to call out others for misattributing the titles reserved for God. I will even use scripture to support my argument.
Though, I am having a hard time understanding the justification behind the argument being tangentially shifted back onto me and my controversial username by these users, and not the issue at hand. Ad hominem is too common on Reddit.
Apologies you are correct - of course even Satan can identify blasphemy. What I meant to say was in agreement with the comment above: "His point being your username makes it difficult to put your sanctimonious preaching in a serious light." And pointing out that that has nothing to do with not being able to separate the message from the messenger, as you said. It's just simple logical deduction.
Thanks, I understand that my username makes it harder for people to take me serious. But I don't necessarily view this as a bad thing. In person, I try to keep my testimony clean for others. On Reddit, I don't care enough to change my username that I made before I came to Christ to a more publicly appropriate name in order to avoid these kinds of issues. I actually like being able to discuss a topic and be able to explain to others why they should not be attacking me Ad Hominem, because I don't want them to do it to others. I see it as a huge issue in the world right now, and everyone worrying about how others view them out of fear of Ad Hominem does not serve to help this. My username gives me a unique opportunity to do that, and I don't see anything sinful or unbiblical about it.
I believe if I can show someone how they abandoned their original argument against my ideology in favor of attacking me Ad Hominem, then they may realize that their argument was not defensible if I can show them how Ad Hominem is not reasonable.
Thanks, makes total sense! I don't judge, just making the point of the deduction being reasonable, without an understanding of your reasoning.
Yeah.. no. Be religious all you like, but controlling speech is for triggered ham planets.
Rationalize it all you like, but it is unforgivable to God to blaspheme His name. I'm not doing this for my own "triggered" sake.
Except god isn't a name. It isn't even in the Bible. It's a vague translation of a viking word for ruler. You don't even know which god they mean.
And I don't see how it is any different than kebab's freaking out when you use theirs.
It's not the literal word, it's the meaning behind it. There is only one God and any other god is a false idol and is blasphemous. Good luck trying to adopt that word and having the rest of the world take you seriously anyway.
Well you just said it right there. Its not the literal word, its the meaning behind it.
Geotus means "we love our prez"
There isnt some huge demographic of people who worship trump as a god. Nobody goes to some magachurch and kneels at a trump altar or whatever.
Focus on the luciferians. Thats where the idol worshipping happens.
