Was Jesus a liberal or a conservative? in Close to Politics · Dec 29, 2006

wanderingmaker8 said:So why repost this? Total waste of bandwidth.

Agreed.

wanderingmaker8 said:What kind of provocation? Arguing points or sharing an opinion on the matter (rather than just the topic itself)—which is notoriously hard to articulate—and instead choosing to spout nonsense that sabotages rather than aids discussion, plus a mountain of useless posts repeating the same thing over and over and over again?

Take a look at the posts in your own thread and judge the quality of those "provocations" for yourself.

wanderingmaker8 said:The questions are rhetorical. I’m not looking for your answer because that isn't actually your issue; it's a much broader problem with this entire forum.

I partially agree.

Attempting to split the American political spectrum by labeling Jesus as a leftist (or even a communist) is honestly a bit morbid.

The whole left vs. right divide is a product of the French Revolution, which happened centuries after the first century.

Jesus isn't a leftist or a rightist. Jesus is Jesus. If you don't believe, just leave faith to the believers.

Captain Barbush said:The whole point was to let people debate one side or the other. This thread wasn't meant to be a peer-reviewed scientific study on Jesus's political leanings; it's just a message board, after all.

Instead of actually debating or using any wit—following the best traditions of this site—everyone just pivoted to posting garbage, hurling insults, trolling, and showing off how uninspired and limited their vocabularies are, all while attacking the topic because of some religious taboo. The moderators, who clearly couldn't care less that trolls are running the show, joined right in by moving the thread to the "Off-Topic" section instead of keeping it in Politics where it belongs.

Classic Reddit behavior. 😉

I’ve already made my stance clear regarding starting a thread like this right before Christmas.
You’re pushing for a serious discussion on this subject, yet you knew exactly what kind of reaction it would trigger. To me, this entire thread is nothing but pure provocation. By all means, post whatever you want, but don't act all high-and-mighty when things go south.

Can you even define "left" and "right" on a global scale? Can you even define them within the context of American circumstances? That would be a real conversation. This? This is just clickbait.

Matthew Wright2 said:I'm writing in standard American. I have no idea what you're talking about, I never studied it, and I certainly have no intention of learning it.

Now, back off. I'm not a psychiatrist, so I don't have the patience to mess around with someone who’s clearly a walking red flag for the profession. Put me on ignore. Stop quoting my posts and stop quoting me. Got it?

Fact 1: That language doesn't exist and never did. You were taught incorrectly; if you'd been taught properly, you wouldn't be crying over something that isn't even real. When something is artificial, it doesn't last. It decays. It falls apart.

Fact 2: You're just a provocateur and a jerk.

Fact 3: You aren't a psychiatrist. You're the exact opposite.

Fact 4: You should be the one putting me on ignore since you're clearly afraid of actual arguments.

Conclusion: Go find an extremist forum and mess around with your failed buddies there.

Matthew Wright2 said:There's no way I'm voting. I'm not even a citizen, and even if I were, why bother? The whole system there is just run by the mob.

You’re typing this out in perfect American English while simultaneously trashing the country and its people in every single post.

We already know you have a thing for the dead, but what do you call this other condition—where you spend all your energy insulting your own heritage and roots? Or did I get that wrong? Are your ancestors located somewhere east of the US?

You claim not to believe, yet you're constantly lecturing others about faith and Jesus Christ. The very word "faith" implies you either hold a belief or you don't. If you don't believe in Jesus, why are you wasting your breath on these topics?

Go focus on your own convictions and that failed red religion of yours, though I'm pretty sure you wouldn't know a thing about your own Marxist Bible if it hit you in the face.

Pure sarcasm.

So, are we just going to close the thread and the topic?

Smart" Leftists vs. "Dumb" Right-wingers in Close to Politics · Dec 13, 2006

The Commander-in-Chief isn't worried about leaks. Back in the day, British intelligence could walk right through those doors and film whatever they wanted.
