I'm also guessing "pastor" doesn't mean "seminary trained, regular background checks, psychologically evaluated, tested for competence, and examined by others to discern call in a denomination that requires pastors act like mandatory reporters" but instead means "Bubba says the Bible good and hates the right folks."

Nah, unless you want to call muslims christians as well. Once you start modifying your deity, like christians did to the jewish god, or muslims did about jesus being only a prophet, you're a new religion. I'd say the same for when you change the basics of how you are saved (so I'd say that catholics and protestants are wildly different, seeing as catholics need confession and last rites to be forgiven or go to purgatory). Mormons hold that jesus and satan are brothers, that you need to go proselytize for a certain period of time, that there are planets instead of heaven (I guess heavenly bodies if we want to play with wording, whatever), etc.

Contrast that with the difference between methodists and baptists, or presbyterians and lutherans, where basically it's all window dressing. You might get some proscriptions, like no dancing or drinking for baptists, but fundamentally the beliefs don't change.

[deleted]reply

Mormons see Jesus as the Messiah, their lord and savior. They have an additional prophet, but they are Christian because Christ is their savior.

18

Yeah, I was raised Catholic, which is basically polytheism, imo (I was taught to pray to St. Christopher for lost things and to St. Jude for cancer patients, asking them to talk to Yahweh for me, but I was also taught to pray directly to Mary, which nudges it over the line for me- that’s not even addressing the trinity issue), and that’s definitely Christian. I’ve heard some Baptists say it isn’t, but they’re just wrong and spreading antipapist propaganda, even if unintentionally.

I was also taught that there are three extant sects of Christianity: Catholicism, Orthodox Christianity, and Protestantism (edit: not sure where Coptic Christians fell, but I suspect Orthodox). Jehovah’s Witness and Mormons are technically a type of Protestant (at least according to the Catholic Church), though I get how they could feel separate (and separate from each other). Quakers, Shakers, and Unitarians are also Protestants and also feel like their own thing, but in a very different way.

Lutheran, Episcopalian, and Catholic church services/masses all feel basically the same to me, except for transubstantiation of the Eucharist, which Protestants by and large don’t believe in.

10

Muslims don't believe Jesus was the son of god. Therefore, they're not Christians. Mormons do, therefore they are Christians. That they add more stuff in later doesn't change that fact.

12

Unless you insist on the Trinity doctrine being an essential definition of Christianity (which I think is dumb and lacks historical context), then Mormons are a branch of Christianity.

Mind you, there are tons of MAGA Christians who do take that stance.

Mormons have their own book which is basically fan-fic of the bible and new testament. So it's kinda like if you met someone who calls themselves a Trekkie, but they've never seen any of the shows and have only read fan-fic. Would a Trekkie accept them as one of their own?

Mormons read the Bible. They'd be Trek super-fans who think their favorite fic-writer is better than Roddenberry, but they would have watched ToS and NG at least.

But honestly, none of that matters. Most people did not reason themselves into their opinion on this matter (minds were made up before there was any evidence or credible suspect at all), and most of the time you cannot reason people out of an opinion if they did not reason themselves into it. Which sucks. But also, this applies to us all, so hopefully most of us are keeping that in mind.

I think it's interesting to see the news media go back to naming and focusing on shooters. When big school shootings began to happen they talked all about the shooters and what could have led them to do what they did. That accidentally became a great incentive for copycats because many were outcasts wanting similar infamy and their stories to be told.

Then over the years most news media tried to just focus on the victims and communities impacted. Shootings still happen, but how often do you hear the shooter named on the news? Even for major events like the trump assassination attempts they didn't really focus a lot on who the shooters were.

It seems that recent shooters are getting a lot more attention again. All it takes is to assassinate someone and get away just long enough to force them to name your and show your face, messages you left on the scene etc. This runs the risk of starting a whole new copycat trend and I think we're seeing that starting here

The "trans ideology" was "TRN", a marking engraved on the casing by the ammo manufacturer, Turan Ammo.

Feels like this is the same logic that is used to ban sex education - they shouldn’t have sex until marriage so you shouldn’t teach them about it. I accept that kids will have access to fully loaded genitals, so I want them to understand and respect the consequences and to be able to act responsibly.

As much as I would like firearm access to be restricted and regulated, I accept that in the world we live in they’re not going anywhere, anytime soon. I also think alcohol is deadly, both for the consumer and the people around them, but I’d rather teach my kid to drink responsibly than send them off to college unprepared; I’ve seen too many sheltered kids go fucking crazy once they’re out from their parent’s thumb.

I’ve always felt that harm reduction was an admirable thing. Accept and work with human nature instead of against it. I don’t want people shooting up heroin, but I support giving away free, clean needles to prevent even worse outcomes. Doesn’t mean I endorse or encourage the activity.

2

It was rhetorical! Not you, the other guy.

I mean I am not feeling the sex analogy at all.

Firearm restrictions already exist and work. We just need better ones. You know when you need a regulation? When it has become a problem. Clearly losing 2,500 children and 48,000 adults in one year to guns is a sign something must be done. But clearly we need to deal with trans people in our restrooms!

I am a big fan of thinking around issues so I am open to any ideas that can benefit both parties. There will always be a loser, the devil in the details is minimizing this for the greater good.

Totally agree with harm reduction. Believe it or not there are lots of good solutions to our problems especially if you are willing to entertain harm reduction. We can solve drug addiction, homelessness, gun violence, most crime, incarceration, hell just about everything.

Oh sure, we have thought up several ways. The best in my opinion is to require a combination of psych exams yearly, insurance, and a tax penalty for having more than x many.

This would use our existing system to deal with the problem monetarily.

As far as ending the proliferation this can be accomplished by allowing people to sue manufactures for producing unsafe products. There is no other tool responsible for thousand of child deaths a year and if there was and they didn't stop they would be sued out of existence.

Modern technology can also build a smart gun that won't kill its owner, family members, etc. An Igun if you will. The fact that we don't already have this shows that proper regulations have not been applied.

I have thought of tons of ways to deal with this for sure. It really is not hard, but people are very resistant to even logical solutions.

The "fetish for firearms" comes from not treating firearms like tools, and that's something actual good teachers would do a lot better than ammosexual parents.

This doesn't seem like a very Starmer thing to say, or is the joke here that the Parody_PM account is saying things our PM might say if he were a sane man who understood humour, and didn't get off on genocide and fascism?

Just wondering is there evidence his family are republicans I tried looking it up but can’t find anything other than his dad being a sheriff or something

Is that so? Or is that just a correlation?
So, ultra-conservatives being LGBTQ haters and incidentally also having a high probability of being Christian?
That would put the implied causality in question. I personally don't like such generalizations. That's what the right-wing agitators are doing and I really don't want to decent to such a level myself.

Surely that'd depend on the Muslim? Like, Islam is a very large religion and religious people rarely follow or consider valid all their stated rules to the letter, and disagree with eachother over the interpretation of those they do. I don't know what exactly the Koran says on the matter, but given the terminology and understanding around gender (and available technology for transition) has changed a fair bit since the time it was written, I'd be fairly surprised if it said anything as clear as "you must not be trans" that didn't leave room for interpretation and disagreement.

Yeah, that part doesn't make sense.
And aren't Latinos the standard scapegoats in the US?
Projecting hate on Muslim foreigners I would consider to be more a European thing?

No, you don't get it. That's how strong the left-wing mind control is! All they need is one semester to turn your kid into a homicidal gay trans communist!

In the second semester they turn students Muslim, or at the very least some kind of Spanish.
