Exactly what I was thinking, this pupper was 100% chalked

I have no problems with anyone who doesn’t force or coerce their beliefs on anyone else

Regardless of your personal actions or beliefs, you are being lumped in with extremists. If that confuses you because you personally feel innocent, there is an expression that goes something like

“If there are 9 people at a table and a Nazi sits and eats with them, there are 10 Nazis as the table.”

Tolerating or being indifferent to abhorrent behaviour is the same as rewarding/endorsing abhorrent behaviour.

As for the definition of evangelicals, there’s the literal definition

“Evangelicalism (/ˌiːvænˈdʒɛlɪkəlɪzəm, ˌɛvæn-, -ən-/), also called evangelical Christianity or evangelical Protestantism, is a worldwide interdenominational movement within Protestant Christianity that emphasizes the centrality of sharing the “good news” of Christianity, being “born again” in which an individual experiences personal conversion, as authoritatively guided by the Bible, God’s revelation to humanity.[1][2][3][4][5] The word evangelical comes from the Greek word for “good news” (euangelion).[6]”

And then there is the applied practice of evangelicals who spend considerable wealth influencing politics to turn America (and the world) into a theocratic state with the goal of converting everyone and doing away with anyone who resists their goals.

They are uncompromising because they believe they act on God’s will giving them unquestionable holy authority to act as they see fit as long as it pushes their narrative and goals.

It’s not my job to educate you on your own religion, if you’re lost as to why anyone would despise evangelicals even though “they’re not all like that” that is up to you to reconcile.

There might be a subtle difference between a front lines Nazi and Hitler on the ‘innocence scale’ if you want to split hairs, but to everyone outside that group, a Nazi is a Nazi (who were all essentially evangelicals as well, surprise surprises)

if you don’t believe me, here’s something to read since you like proof/evidence so much, but I doubt you’ll ever challenge your own beliefs.

That’s because it is the closest thing to fascism. Especially when religion bleeds into politics.

Don’t be shocked that your faith of complete, uncompromising, control of human behaviour based on a collective, personal conclusion that you have all the answers to everything is perceived for what it is.

Believe whatever you want in your own head, and live your life according to whatever belief system you want. The second you try to extend the control you place on yourself to anyone else is the line between faith and fascism

If you don’t believe in abortions? Fine.

If you believe others should follow your example? Fine.

If you force others to follow your idealogies through control of legal/political systems? not fine

Y’all never seem to understand, nobody cares what you do as long as you keep self imposed control to yourself. But apparently the whole point is to “spread the love” through non-optional participation, which is what makes you so dangerous.

If your faith really was all that goodness you claim, people would actually want to join! But they don’t. So you force them. Jesus would be so proud ❤️

Totally fair point - there’s more than one type of Christian and not everyone in the faith has homogeneous opinions or actions.

Unfortunately (fortunately?) for your faith - the ones steering the ship politically are hyper right wing convert /submit or die types.

Until Christian denominations meaningfully split or works against the goals from evangelicals/Christian nationalists, you’re effectively sitting at the same table and will be judged accordingly.

I’m pretty sure religious groups think every other group is as focused and dedicated to conversation as they are.

If they were left alone in a room with a child (or anyone really), their immediate action would be to determine how Christian the child is, test and ensure their faith is all consuming, or immediately begin the conversion process if they aren’t already their personal brand of Christian.

They assume this is absolutely normal, expected behaviour. so any group that is different from them, must be doing the exact same thing, but with other idealogies.

Like how they hate Islam and Sharia law while endorsing 99% of Sharia law practices under a different name. Or they think every gay person has a gay agenda and needs to make every child gay because religion knows children are the easiest to manipulate.

They are obsessed with someone else being a groomer while being the most organized and dedicated groomers on the planet.

1337x.to has been pretty solid

Is it TorrentGalaxy.to?

I’m generally a patient gamer, but I shit a brick when I heard Deadspace was getting a ps5 remake (still on ps4, but not for long). I have hard copies for my Ps3 but my disk drive is kaput.

I’ve just bought my first full price game in about 20 years with REmake4 and am loving it. Can’t wait to play on PS5 when I get one, but might hold out for the upgraded ps5 expected for Christmas 2024.

Armored core VI looks amazing, considering getting VR specifically because it looks like the perfect game for VR, but VR sure ain’t cheap.

There’s also a new final fantasy and the second entry for FF7 remake comes out this year as well I think

My video game cup runneth over for the first time in a long time.

I’ve generally been happy playing the classics in my library and haven’t spent much time dedicated to gaming lately, but I have also only had PS4 for about 2 years now. Loved horizon zero dawn, thinking about trying RDR2 or God of War after REmake4 and hopefully the price of armored core 6 drops a bit by the time I’m finished!

I’d love to find a good alternative to Rarbg, truly the end of an era

This is a good meme

The wolf from the neverending story freaked me right out when I was smol. Returned it to blockbuster and then rented Mr. Bean instead, so huge win
