    I didn't ask you for evidence....if you thought I needed something from the article to add to my knowledge...I sure didn't get that...I got ...you don't read my link and therefore are one sided...so whatever your link provided...it was not expressed in your post to me. It's not hard to just be direct you know? If there's a circle emoticon it would be for linking news articles not for simply expressing an opinion on a topic. If you don't want to clarify whatever you think I'm denying...then that's on you.

    Sir, you responded to a post i was quoting someone else on. They asked me for evidence. Are you following the timeline of posts at all? You jumped into a convo!

    This is a public forum.....if you don't value my input on the topic of the discussion then I surely don't need to chronologically scroll through 14 pages of your dialogue..if I interrupted your conversation with anyone else...it sure wasn't intentional...for what it's worth...I disagreed with the post you made that I replied to and cited why I did. What's complicated about that? I don't use those cartoon emoticons so whatever they represent...enjoy using them. You may want to put me on ignore if it's an issue for you. I think you lose context with "right" and "left" stereotypes for one thing. Beyond that...you're welcome to view society through that lens...just understand not everyone sees it that way. You definitely don't get to define me as someone denying problems we face over disagreeing with your way of framing them

    It was you who didn't value the input/ info I provided.
    In fact, You specifically said you don't need it.
    How backwards is this going to go, sir?
    I'm just not going to respond to this anymore its so ridiculous at this point.
    :cheers:

    From your link

    I'm not seeing any evidence of Antifa engaging in fascist behavior... Care to post the specific excerpt you're referring to?

    Again, if you are engaging in fascist behavior you are not Antifa. It's that simple.

    If you think this is going backwards....you aren't going to be able to discuss political strife in the present day with any sort of open mind. I read your article and it didn't provide me with any insight into the bad behavior by elements of Antifa by comparing the Nazi movement or the anti facist movement in England before WWII. It attempted to define what the organization is currently and that didn't change anything I said about it....moving along. When you decide whether I "jump" into your conversation or you provided me with input about the topic ......let me know. As it is I think you just disliked my post.

    Yeah it's pretty simple. If people are engaging in fascist behavior they aren't antifa and are not supported as such. They are rejected roundly.

    The clamor that "Antifa is bad" or whatever is simply fascist propaganda to try and make anything opposed to fascist ideals seem bad.

    No one said antifa bad….

    YOUR clamor, that i have contention with, is that Christians and the right need to clean house of their own, doing bad things, but Antifa is not responsible for those running in thier circles doing bad things. They arent Ntifa so they Rent responsible?

    okay the. Those posing as Christians who are causing harm aren't actually Christians and so they have no responsibility to keep them in check either.

    Its a black and white contradiction is all.
    How can you consider it the Christians responsibility to keep a check on those in their circle causing problems, but Antifa doesn't have to?

    it makes zero sense. Plain and simple. Its a clear double standard.

    Are you saying anybody supporting outlawing abortions is not a Christian or follower of Christ?

    Find a penny, pick it up, and all the day you'll have good luck.

    That being said...religion is a part of our collective human culture and is predominate in most countries around the globe. Religion helps to provide discipline, morals, community, charity, and socializing.

    That being said none of those benefits necessitates being a member of a religion in order to exist.

    Unfortunately, I think our human lizard brains make it impossible for us humans as a whole to leave religion behind. Humanity cannot reach a collective higher state of being until our species further evolves.

    :hugs:

    EDIT: spelling

    Religion, like most things in our life and on this planet, has positives and negatives.
    It is very much on the individual and how they perceive/implement religion in their own life.
    Like most things, its not the hammer that is the problem. Its who swings it, how and where.

    I hope you are right. But many are in denial about it. Like a friend literally shut me out for simply saying they exist and are a problem.
