Y'all know George Washington wasn't known for going to church a lot, right? And Jefferson edited the bible heavily so he could accept it. You know about that too, right?
So what ? All people are sinners. Nobody (ok maybe except the Christ - but he is son of God being one with his father: God) was or is ideal and pure. Even mr Trump is not ideal man (no all people will be glad,but it is true, of course Don looks being quite narcissistic man liking to be popular - so what ?) - what is important is legacy being beyond a man,legacy man leaves.
Is that more important: who we feel we are or what we do,what we chose and what we will leave when our pilgrimage on earth will be ended by death ? For the rest of the world only that what we give,what we do will stay,will be seen and maybe important after we will die. And all of us will die sooner or later - that's the fate of man.
My point is if y'all ain't fucking with non devout Christians, y'all ain't fucking with the founding fathers.
Lots of secular conservatives out there, I wouldn't go ostracizing them right now...
It is perfectly right if you are secular here, you can be secular as long as you accept Christian culture as one of roots of Euro-American culture which resulted in birth of United States of America of it's founding fathers.If you don't accept it you are probably not here and don't care about freedom anyway
Did you heard about Oriana Falacci ? Italian journalist who were Italian patriot who moved to America. She were atheist in fact,atheist with even quite political left roots ! But despite she was sowing political division against muslims as barbarians and so in her text/manifesto "The Rage and The Pride" after 9/11 (well it is worth reading anyway) But except those cricicizing Muslims that text was one big praise of America and American people,American values. And what she else said ? Sorry for google translate because I don't found english original:
It is all about it. How was born respect to the individual rights,invidual freedoms in western culture if not because of having roots in christianity ? It is not about religious vs secular it is about culture being like the tree. Kill the roots - the tree will die. And that mean freedom and respect to us as individuals dead. Got it ?
u/HarryxD What religion respects individual as being sovereign entity then ? Islam ? Of course not, islam means "perfect obedience to the god" and leaders ! ` ? It is so tribal culture obsessed with tribal loyalty - it is not. Ancient Roman or Greek Culture claiming slavery was natural and having no respect for human life ? Almost individualistic (for the leaders) but still government bootlicking as cultural norm. WHAT RELIGION ? Some Asian maybe - you know how individualistic is Chinese or Japanese original culture... /s
Most religions don't give a fuck about you as INDIVIDUAL. People of those religions and cultures don't like to be oppressed too of course,but they don't even understand clearly those concept of BEING FREE MAN ! Christianity did the most of it among the others about lowering iron grasp of rulers and mainstream "society",and that is root and soil - on which idea of freedom grew and flourished.
Why the fuck despite England being oppressive,like Catholic church being quite oppressive even "heresies" of people wanting individual freedom happened ? Do you think all cultures allow individualism if you believe you are right as virtue ?
In Christianity Jesus is "good Shepherd caring about all sheeps",ready to leave 99 to rescue the one lost. That's the key. Compare those to old Chinese communist "morality" where if you get hit by car driver would like to hit you again to avoid responsibility, or average person on the street avoid helping you and calling ambulance. If some Chinese become better - it because of our cultural influence !
Remove the vision of individual being important and that will uproot freedom. It is the cause of the war against Christianity besides satanist or other fanaticism.
Which religion respects the individual as a sovereign entity? I would say any that believe in free will. Secular humanism does not and relies on determinism to justify our decisions, so there is no personal responsibility. Every other religion believes in free will.
Also, why would you bring up government bootlicking and completely ignore Romans 13? By your logic, Christianity does not care about the individual either. I'm not saying that I believe that, but your argument is all over the place.
