    I’m not, it’s just not something you understand. I meant Abrahamic monotheism, but that’s just because that’s the most complete uhh “understanding”. It’s not vague, it’s slightly debatable but it’s not open ended, and if we sat down and thought about God even without this Abrahamic background I’m sure we’d reach the same conclusions (unless we’re sociopaths trying to make excuses for ourselves). 🤷

    Christianity’s well has been poisoned from the very beginning (Jesus was a duty-bound monotheist, Christianity is a “you’re already good cause Jebus died!” state religion that co-opted the person they murdered), and regardless of the words of the prophets in the Bible (mixed with some garbage, ofc), Christians/Americans don’t read. And even if they did, the Church as a whole is Paulian in nature, not Jesus-inspired. And it makes entire sense since from the beginning Roman Catholicism was just a con, if we wanted to truly follow Jesus we’d just be neo-Jews.

    Yeah, I think after “right-wing Christianity” (I’m not a Christian but Jesus was literally an anti-imperialist revolutionary, murdered by the powers-that-were 😭), monotheism is gonna be an understandable “hard sell” in America, lol. Thanks for respecting our choice to be religious! ✊






  • I didn’t say that, that was the person I was replying to, but let me see: maybe. It’s the intersection of being both white (of European descent) and American (most likely the descendant of genocidal settlers and, if not, at least part of the in group by now) that makes her more likely to act this way because of a personal shortcoming, a flawed character, instead of something else like drugs (even if I want to believe otherwise because I’d rather ignore some things and remain sane and hopeful). Americans are largely confused and propagandised, white Americans are straight up insane and bloodthirsty (else the entirety of American history wouldn’t have taken place), at least on average and relative to the rest of the world. This country elected Trump, Bush, Nixon, etc and tacitly accepts or even encourages and fully supports the police harassing, assaulting, murdering and now kidnapping minorities, let’s be real for a second and accept white Americans are, on average and as part of the country, “bad people”.

    Let’s put it this way: I’ve never seen such chutzpah except for in European Americans, and Israelis, of course. I don’t think it has much to do with race by itself, or at all even, but more to do with the sociocultural background of these groups (being an imperialist amoral little devil doesn’t help your overall attitude, I guess). Correlation, not causation, basically.
