In your words, define a Christian lifestyle. What are the key attributes that would qualify someone as a Christian?



Again, put the quotes in context. Charlie was specifically talking about four people, not an entire demographic:
"If we would have said three weeks ago […] that Joy Reid and Michelle Obama and Sheila Jackson Lee and Ketanji Brown Jackson were affirmative-action picks, we would have been called racist. But now they're coming out and they're saying it for us! They're coming out and they're saying, 'I'm only here because of affirmative action.' Yeah, we know. You do not have the brain processing power to otherwise be taken really seriously. You had to go steal a white person's slot to go be taken somewhat seriously."

And:
"Why is the Republican Party — why is the conservative movement to blame for gay schizophrenic nudists that are hemp jewelry makers, breaking into somebody’s home or maybe not breaking into somebody’s home? Why are we to blame for that, exactly? And why is he still in jail? Why has he not been bailed out? By the way, if some amazing patriot out there in San Francisco or the Bay Area wants to really be a midterm hero, someone should go and bail this guy out. I bet his bail’s like 30 or 40,000 bucks. Bail him out, and then go ask him some questions." He also clarified, "I’m not qualifying [the attack]. I think it’s awful. It’s not right."

Also - again, nobody claimed Kirk was perfect, as Blazer said. Do you believe someone has to be perfect to be a Christian?




You've said numerous things on this board to attack people. Your disdain toward Kirk for the things that he has said is hypocritical, given all the things you've said to people here. Do you think you are good person? If so, would we be able to find posts on this board where you mock or insult others?



For as many "hateful" things as he said, I can find multiple examples of him extending kindness to others. Do you consider those moments when assessing someone's character, or do you only look at the bad?

Do you want others to view you with the same parameters that you view Kirk? Should we call you a bad person for calling someone a piece of shit or a moron? Would you like your posts here to be a part of your eulogy?

Like I said, stuck on transmit.

My caution to you: you do yourself a disservice when you ignore reality.

The ignore button is your friend.

Religion is for fools. There’s absolutely zero proof that any gods exist.

 

[GATTACA!]

This is an interesting comment and shows the different lens people see things. I read what Kimmel said and I don't think it was because of the comment "Trump mourning like a 4 year old mourns a goldfish" that got him suspended. I think his comment that MAGA is trying to change the narrative in the media is why he's suspended.

Both sides were immediately.

 

[LifelongFan]

lol

Difference between a performative suit versus someone who has actual power.

 

[LifelongFan]

It's offensive to Trump so the FCC will pull licensing deals.

Wait I'm sure the regular idiots will tell me how this is all normal and how things go.

Nailed it

 

[LifelongFan]

Whether it's carrying on the legacy of Brandon with arresting and harassing anti-genocide protesters, doing his little despotic squabbles with stupid late night hosts, or calling for a "domestic terrorist designation" for """antifa"""", Trump is shredding the constitution marvelously.

 

[GATTACA!]

lol

First of all this is the equivalent of a strongly worded letter. Jeffries isn't threatening to have the FCC pull Fox's broadcast licenses, nor did he have the power to. He also wasn't threatening them unless they fired specific anchors he wanted fired. He was asking them to stop spreading lies about things they admitted were lies IN COURT.

Second of all you don't see the difference between spreading lies about an election being stolen and suggesting that the right was trying to paint Kirk's killer as a lefty? The left was certainly trying to do the opposite.

@TorontoGold come get your guy… he’s not respecting Islam…

This is a hell of a claim. I don't know anyone that has enough knowledge to decide one way or another. There is also zero proof they don't exist..... Our brains seem to be wired to be unable to comprehend something coming from nothing. Someone might be able to say the physics math just works out or provide multiple universes as a temporary explanation, but I'm not sure of anyone that can say they know something can come from nothing, but maybe I'm wrong. Can you? I'd love to be enlightened... Otherwise, God seems like a pretty plausible explanation...

 

[TorontoGold]

@TorontoGold come get your guy… he’s not respecting Islam…

lol oh no! He said religion is for fools! I don't care if he says any religion is for fools.

You should ask IE to ban him for heretical speech! This is blasphemy! How many lashings does he deserve?

Seekndestroy said other religions are false, implying that his belief in atheism is the only correct one.

Toronto, you said people that call other religions false are weirdos.

I wasn’t taught to be some weirdo saying other religions are false

So, is seekndestroy a weirdo? Yes or no?

 

[TorontoGold]

Slow down, process, read, understand.

Atheism is not a religion. My point is that those who are religious calling other religions false are weirdos. It's possible I didn't put "religious" in front of people when I made that statement which would be why you're up in arms about his post. Otherwise, you're just trying to obtuse in saying that I must defend every religion but at the same time I'm not "christian enough" for you.

Ok, so in the full context of my post you can see that I am speaking about my experience at a catholic church. So I am still correct. You need a better past time than me lmao.

I think atheists are weirdos.

Although, I do believe atheism in of itself some sort of belief system. While it’s not technically a religion by definition, I’m sure you can fit it in the same category as one. But to be fair, atheism is just as irrelevant as Islam.

Fascinating take to read on a forum dedicated to the most prominent Catholic school in the world.

That's great, you're allowed to believe that.

Sure it's a belief system, but you'd be moronic to try and argue it's considered on any sort of relevant level to any of the Abrahamic religions or even the ones following.

lol and Islam is just as irrelevant as Christianity then. You sound like one of those Occupy wallstreet burnouts.

The forum is about football. You know, the only reason Notre Dame still exists.

Was surprised by this comment. I’ll just leave it at that as Seek knows where I’m going.

Not saying you’re wrong or right, was just surprised on the hard stance.

Good, so we are both in agreement that in order to accurately assess the intent of someone's statements, context is required to avoid misinterpretation, correct?

 

[TorontoGold]

So you're admitting to purposefully framing it incorrectly, or do you honestly believe that I meant saying all religions is what weirdos do.

Which one.

I didn't frame anything incorrectly. I simply listened and restated what you both said.

I was trying to find common ground with you. This is simple: we can agree that in order to accurately assess the intent of someone's statements, context is required to avoid misinterpretation, correct?

You framed it absolutely incorrectly, you know that I was talking about my catholic upbringing.

Now, if you want to discuss like a grown up what you think I didn’t provide the full context for, by all means say it.

lol another great example of how I entertain these thought experiments, but if I ask a question boy howdy its shutdown time.

Incorrect.

If ND dropped football next year, it would be an Ivy League school providing the same education to 96% of the students who attend the university. Tuition would be the same as would enrollment and faculty. Only thing that would disappear is the NBC money.

Second, Notre Dame still exists because of the US Naval Academy sending cadets to ND during WWII and that had nothing to do with athletics.

I could care less that you're an atheist, but it's really odd (even for you) for an atheist to spend their free time on a website dedicated to the most well known Catholic institution in the world. Do you roll your eyes and turn the TV off when they sing the alma mater after games?

 

[sixstar]

Oh really? Then how would you like to explain this?

Dismissing everything else as false because you have a favourite is brain dead.

There are two options here, according to your logic:
1) seek is brain dead
2) this only applies to certain beliefs, but not atheists because... (why?)

Which is it? I'm just trying to find the line you've drawn in your shifting sand.

 

[Blazers46]

That's great, you're allowed to believe that.

Thanks for your seal of approval and permission.

Sure it's a belief system, but you'd be moronic to try and argue it's considered on any sort of relevant level to any of the Abrahamic religions or even the ones following.

It’s relevant in the Kingdom and just as “relevant” as Islam in my opinion.

lol and Islam is just as irrelevant as Christianity then. You sound like one of those Occupy wallstreet burnouts.

I disagree. What’s sad is you know enough to admit to cherry picking parts of the Bible for your scorecard but don’t know enough to know that you are neither but you are fine trying to embrace both for whatever reason… which is probably the most dangerously ignorant thing you could do.

Yes, were it not for football, the school would cease to exist, just like dozens of Catholic schools that have closed over the years.

People of all faiths and no faiths at all root for Notre Dame football. Do you find it odd that Blazer, a Protestant, or Ryan Harris, a Muslim, root for ND? Should Blazer root for Liberty instead?

Unlike most on here, I have deep connections to the University including the fact that my maternal grandfather played for Rockne. I will continue to root for Notre Dame football regardless of what you think. And for the love of Zeus, it’s COULDN’T CARE LESS!

I'm totally fine with doing that. If I leave off the hating gays etc. I think I'll have a good chance at getting in.

This could be dumbest statement I have ever read. Lol.

Abrahamic religions have a mutual respect amongst each other.

Lol, until I read this one.

I think you are so ignorant of Gods grace and Christianity that you have no clue how to wrap your head around hating sin but loving the sinner. But hey, the scorecard… lol. 🤨
