So Anti/Christ is like Heel/Face in pro wrestling

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 6 points 5 months ago

why do so many end times Christians view end times prophecies like the Antichrist or the Mark of the Beast as things to be prevented or avoided?

wasn't raised Christian, but this kind of dissonance is what made me 1) question the faith of so-called believers around me, and 2) question the validity of my own faith / the teachings.

When it comes to most hardline religious people, If they really believed the teachings they claimed are true, they would behave in a completely different manner.

To live in literal accordance with most conservative religious teachings you basically have to act like an unhinged crazy person.

Wrapped plastic - not fantastic.

Everything's got that wet toy sheen. Wow, so realistic. Much specular.

Rofl. Is everyone in the right wing trying to get in on distracting from the Epstein Files (and the fact he didn't kill himself)? Is that how shithawks try to impress their leaders now?

I said it was tenuous.

I'll admit it's pretty tenuous, but if it at all helps prevent the US's descent into fascism then I'll have been right.

No way to be totally sure without a crystal ball that sees alternate timelines, though.

To be fair, killing Kirk probably did save some lives

Parasocial relationships are a deeply concerning development.

I agree. I'm not sure how anyone who has a healthy sense of self-respect can develop this sort of relationship, tbh. Even wading into the sometimes toxic peergroup of fandoms is better, because at least you're communicating back and forth rather than just imbibing this quasi-social runoff that's not even directed towards you as a person.

Practicing masculinity, delighting in skilled human action, and bonding with peers.

Not my thing, but I get it.
