About having a discussion, on religion sociology and politics. Not to be confused with Scientology.

I was raised Lutheran, went to a Lutheran elementary school and attend a Lutheran Church. I went one year to a Catholic high school. I should have and do have Christian values. Well somewhat have Christian values. You see I’m a victim of the political alignment and social climate of America. So my Christian value system often collides and clashes with my political and social influences. I’m sure I might get banished from my Lutheran Church or their group for discussing abstract issues that conflict with their perceived value system.
A side note, I do believe in God, I believe in Jesus and except him as my Lord and Savior. I don’t quite except the King James Bible as containing all books of the Bible I think there’s a lot of missing material, That groups of the early Christian church had deemed heresy or conflicted with their belief system. I find what the apocrypha says to be fascinating.
I put little trust into businesses that proclaim they are a Christian company. Not to list examples but I think I have been duped and royally screwed over by companies claiming to have Christian values. And while not personally affected by a company in Georgia called Chick-fil-A you don’t want to go in there and say you’re gay they’ll be Hating and Judging with all their Christian values.
Conservatives I definitely don’t agree with their pseudo-Christianity. Let’s parade the 10 Commandments around as if they truly hold any value to them. First command goes out the window, with the belief if they elect the right conservative they will be saved. The one on Thou Shalt Not Kill goes out the window too. How many innocent people are killed in America go and get away with it with less time than a sex crime. The Commandment thou shall not covet. Whoops capitalism thrives on coveting if you didn’t covet capitalism would be a failure. I could go on the while with this one
Conservatives want to get back to the basics. That idea that the founding fathers were some kind of gods, or the founding fathers have some superior moral beliefs system. The founding fathers were Masonic members, the Christian Church doesn’t consider Masonic to be a legitimate Christian group. The founding fathers were slaveowners, Completely offensive, I hardly believe that would be a good idea to go back to that. The idea that church and state we’re not meant to be separated is a joke after all the revolution was to put to end the British rule and Kings version of religion over America. Which implies separation of church and state.
The conservative punchline in America is love it or leave it. I may go on to say I pledge my allegiance to the flag. Using the Bible as a guide The American flag is treated it like a false idol.
One last thing on conservatives that I noticed they wear blinders and are unwilling to except people don’t share their theology. So I guess I’m a liberal it’s not really a bad thing. I do notice that liberals have a tendency to except ideas maybe don’t align themselves with all their beliefs that they may personally hold. But just the same are willing to except the people for who they are even if they don’t agree with them.
I build a time machine and I go back in time with all the best doctors and medical equipment that modern medicine has to offer. Don’t you think early man would look at me my time machine and my doctors as being gods people to save lives? Yes science fiction but also an idea expressed on the TV show Ancient Aliens. Maybe it’s a skewed version of religion. They point out some fascinating theology.
Sociology oh that’s a broad subject. God split the humans into separate races and languages at the Tower of Babel. It’s a reason why hate groups decided it’s immoral for the races to intermarry or to socialize together. Respect God’s law! I’m guessing it’s a great way to explain away all the different people of the earth… I’m not buying it!
Oh don’t go digging in the earth you might find something that was not in the Bible and you have to re-think history according to the bible…
Let’s open Pandora’s box and look inside…
Oh Darn Pandora’s box is Pagan not Bible
