Politics & My Religion

You know, I look at the news. I don't care. Whatever Trump is doing right now, I don't care. He's rising the prices. I don't care. What can I do? I can't boycott the anti-Christ foundation that has been corrupted by our country.


I want you Christians out there, or even Atheists to think about this, if you're reading this. Capitalism embodies everything that sin is. The Eight Deadly Passions are described as this:

Gluttony

Lust

Avarice (greed)

Acedia (sloth)

Anger

Vainglory

Despondency (especially despondency)

and Pride.

I am sick and tired of this, but I don't want to move out of this nation. That'd make me a coward. What happened to America's honor? -- I know. Capitalism happened. We sold our nation out to Israel and corporations. I can't do anything about it, neither.

As an Orthodox Christian, my only motivator is God. Christ is with us. And, He has shown mercy on me enough for me to live another day.  The only reason why I keep on going, is because of God. We are all the walking, living icons of Christ, and many Christians who are into conservative politics don't recognize this.


May God show mercy on us all. Amen.

Christ, the King of Kings.

You seem to think Christians who follow conservative politics aren't walking with Christ properly, but leftist politics are quite literally the embodiment of those deadly sins you listed.

Gluttony -- Preaching that being morbidly obese is perfectly fine, denying the health risks, propping up celebs like Lizzo who proudly gorged herself on food and dressed up in pig costumes. And not just gluttons for food either -- most of these overconsumer "influencers" are leftists. They never have enough.

Lust -- Hellooooo, a whole side of politics that praises sexuality in the biggest displays of degeneracy possible? Leftists are notorious defenders of all kinds of fetishes, polygamy, pedophilia, homosexuality, all under the guise of "pride and inclusivity". Absolute slam dunk here.

Greed -- I'm sorry, how many billionaire celebrities are leftists? A solid 90%. The most filthy rich individuals on the planet notoriously vote left. How many media outlets and "influencers" do they have on their payroll to spread their agenda? Way too many. Not to mention all the money laundering that they've been using our government for. Billions of dollars. Kamala Harris spouting crap about how she was "raised in a middle class family" while wearing thousand dollar Tiffany earrings and a gold necklace. Or how about all those leftist celebs who couldn't spare any pennies for the victims in Maui, and just had to petition us normal folks to give them our hard-earned money instead. Or how about 6 liberal women barely touching the EDGE of space for $500k per seat.

Sloth -- Ah, the GenZ "bedrotting" liberals who think they're entitled to live off our taxpayer dollars instead of getting a job like everyone else. Rainbow hair and $500 Nikes sold separately.

Anger -- Look no further than what I'm sure will be the replies to this comment. Or the comment section of literally any Christian woman on social media. You as a Christian of all people should know exactly what the anger of the left looks like. Any slight disagreement results in hatred and violence.

Vainglory -- Once again, the alphabet crew takes insane pride and entitlement in their "identities", to the point you can lose your job if you don't play make-believe with them.

Despondency -- Most leftists I've seen are on at least one type of antidepressant, antipsychotic, or other such drug for their depression and various mental illnesses. Combine that with unemployment and you've got it.

Pride -- See "lust" and "vainglory".




I'd be very interested to hear how you think "capitalism" and conservative politics demonstrate these qualities.

I see. Interesting points. I'll think on this, maybe I'm wrong. Though, I don't support sexuality politics.

you know nothing about leftism and are using exaggerated claims that aren’t based in fact or reality, just opinion, to support your bigotry lol

You can't be a leftist and a billionaire. Your comment is utter nonsense.

"You can't be a leftist and be a billionaire" LOL um, literally all of Hollywood immediately disproves that statement. All the leftist celebrities telling you "eat the rich" have more money than they will EVER know what to do with. Bill Gates ring a bell? Oprah, Beyonce, Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, Taylor Swift, Rihanna, Mr. Beast, Selena Gomez, Madonna, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, the Jenners (excluding Caitlyn/Bruce), Al Gore, Nancy Pelosi, the Clintons, the Obamas.... Need I go on? Nearly ALL of your favorite rich are leftists -- yet they're the ones trying to sell you the "rich people bad" tagline. The ironic part is, a lot of them are literally BEING PAID to say or endorse certain things or people.

These aren't "exaggerated claims" -- they are literally facts. It is a FACT that the richest celebrities are leftists. It is a fact that the left praises sexuality and lust in all forms. It is a fact that leftists use hatred and violence to "defend" these agendas at all costs. It is a fact that most leftists openly despise, mock and attack Christians because their beliefs go directly against said agendas. It is a fact that leftists believe their feelings are more important than other's beliefs, and demand everyone else cater to their wants.

I don't care if you think I'm a "bigot" -- your side has shown over and over what they are, and it's easily a hundred times worse than whatever you want to accuse me of.

it's actually contrary to the point; both sides are as evil as each other... conservative politics just happens to promote what is terrible for the faith. you praise the billionaires who claim to have "christian values" in mind, like trump, when trump will and can support an ideology that would want to destroy our religion. what capitalism does to the human psyche, is insane.

Lust - capitalism has been promoting sex as this thing to gawk at for us... for them, what should be sacred has been turned into an icon for Satan, exploits woman for earthly gain and makes people easily controllable

Greed - elon musk, zuckerburg, bezos... what do they have in common? they support whatever politics gets them money... same with every other billionaire you have claimed have voted left. none of these parties care for our interest. why die defending one of them?

Sloth - the generation that promotes the most conservatism also happens to be the most laziest... draft dodging, working less for more money, they were even lazy in their faith because look at catholicism and modern protestantism now... just relying what 'muh tounges' are now...?

Anger - the right from what i've seen has the most secular and religious hate. if you are not this bapticostal denomination that agrees with THIS specific interpretation of MY bible, and you just so happen to be aligning with left-winging politics a little bit, then you're not a REAL AMERICAN, whatever that is now.

Vainglory - see 'anger'

Despondency - conservatives drink a lot. conservatives also tend to be despondent on their own pride, too. i mean, isn't YOUR interpretation of the bible only right?

Pride - see anger and despondency

Ironically, Israel kills Orthodox Christians and has torn down statues of St. George at churches. They look at us Christians and Muslims as the same; subhuman. And, our capitalist government and subservient Evangelical Christians just hide it beneath our noses. I don't like that, obviously.

by TheNewUSA; ; Report

You speak as if Muslims and Christians are allies in this imaginary fight against Israel, who supposedly views them both as subhuman. You do know what Islamic teachings say about Christians, right?? Islam is literally based on conquest and violence toward anyone who does not submit to them, truly viewing non-Muslims (the "infidels") as subhuman.

Their Quran:

Permits men to have sex with girls who have not yet reached puberty... Aka children. Qur'an 65:4: "Such of your women as have passed the age of monthly courses, for them the prescribed period, if ye have any doubts, is three months, and for those who have no courses (it is the same): for those who carry (life within their wombs), their period is until they deliver their burdens: and for those who fear Allah, He will make their path easy."

Their prophet Muhammad who they idolize also married a 6-year-old girl, Aisha, and had sex with her at the age of 9, at which point she was still noted as pre-pubescent. This is recorded many times in Sahih ahadith. Even Aisha herself had doubts about Muhammad's legitimacy as a prophet, insinuating that he faked "revelations" in order to fulfill his desires and allow him exceptions to rules. Sahih al-Bukhari 4788: "I used to look down upon those ladies who had given themselves to Allah's Messenger, and I used to say, 'Can a lady give herself to a man?' But when Allah revealed: 'You (O Muhammad) can postpone whom you will of them (your wives), and you may receive any of them whom you will; and there is no blame on you if you invite one whose turn you have set aside temporarily.' (33.51) I said to the Prophet, 'I feel that your Lord hastens in fulfilling your own wishes and desires.' "
Muslims and apologists will try to justify Aisha's age by saying that back then, 9 years of age meant 9 years after puberty -- but Aisha specifically wrote that shortly before marrying Muhammad, she "used to play with dolls". What 19-year-old played with dolls, especially in those times where teens were considered fully grown adults?

Encourages men to beat women if they suspect they may want to leave them, and to force them to obey. FYI, "disobedience" also includes saying no to sex, and the men are permitted to beat them for this. In Islam, there is no such thing as consent -- either the woman submits to the man's sexual desires, or she is beaten. Qur'an 4:34: "The good women are therefore obedient, guarding the unseen as Allah has guarded; and (as to) those on whose part you fear desertion, admonish them, and leave them alone in the sleeping-places and beat them; then if they obey you, do not seek a way against them; surely Allah is High, Great."
Qur'an 38:41-44: "And take in your hand a green branch and beat her with it and do not break your oath; surely We found him patient; most excellent the servant!"
It's also mentioned in the Hadiths that Muhammad hit Aisha, causing her physical pain. Sahih Muslim 4:2127: "and as I lay down in the bed, he (the Holy Prophet) entered the (house), and said: 'Why is it, O 'A'isha, that you are out of breath?' I said: 'There is nothing.' He said: 'Tell me or the Subtle and the Aware would inform me.' I said: 'Messenger of Allah, may my father and mother be ransom for you,' and then I told him (the whole story). He said: 'Was it the darkness (of your shadow) that I saw in front of me?' I said: 'Yes.' He struck me on the chest which caused me pain, and then said: 'Did you think that Allah and His Apostle would deal unjustly with you?' "

Muhammad also allowed OTHER men to hit Aisha. In Abu Dawud 11:2139-2142, Abu Bakr informs Muhammad that he slapped Khadijah’s daughter, and Muhammad responds by laughing and tells Abu Bakr his wives are asking him for more money. Abu Bakr and Umar (the second Rightly-Guided Caliph of Islam) respond by slapping Muhammad's wives, Hafsa and Aisha. Later on Muhammad gives a decree instructing men to not beat their wives, but changes his mind once Umar informs him that some of the women have "become emboldened" towards their husbands. The women complain to Muhammad, and he responds by stating "they are not the best among you, and a man will not be asked as to why he beats his wife."
Ibn Ishaq: p 496: "As for Ali, he said “Women are plentiful, and you can easily change one for another. Ask the slave girl; she will tell you the truth.” So the Apostle called Burayra to ask her and Ali got up and gave her a violent beating, saying, ‘Tell the Apostle the truth.’”

In the following hadith, a woman complains to Muhammad about her husband and shows him where he had beaten and bruised her. Muhammad listens to the husband’s side of the story, and comes to the conclusion that the reason why his wife is complaining is because he cannot sexually satisfy her and she wants to go back to her ex-husband... when what she is really saying is that he is abusing her. Instead of scolding her husband for beating her, Muhammad tells her she cannot re-marry her ex husband unless she has sexual intercourse with her husband first. Also in this same Hadith, Aisha states that she has not seen any woman suffering as much as "the believing women", meaning Muslim women were suffering more than their pagan and Abrahamic counterparts.
Sahih Muslim 9:3526-3527: ''Rifaa divorced his wife whereupon Abdur-Rahman married her. Aisha said that the lady came wearing a green veil and complained to her (Aisha) and showed her a green spot on her skin caused by beating. It was the habit of ladies to support each other, so when Allah's messenger came, Aisha said, "I have not seen any woman suffering as much as the believing women. Look! Her skin is greener than her clothes! When Abdur-Rahman heard that his wife had gone to the prophet, he came with his two sons from another wife. She said, "By Allah! I have done no wrong to him, but he is impotent and is as useless to me as this," holding and showing the fringe of her garment. Abdur-Rahman said, "By Allah, O Allah's messenger! She has told a lie. I am very strong and can satisfy her, but she is disobedient and wants to go back to Rifaa." Allah's messenger said to her, "If that is your intention, then know that it is unlawful for you to remarry Rifaa unless Abdur-Rahman has had sexual intercourse with you." The prophet saw two boys with Abdur-Rahman and asked (him), "Are these your sons?" On that Abdur-Rahman said, "Yes." The prophet said, "You claim what you claim (that he is impotent)? But by Allah, these boys resemble him as a crow resembles a crow."

Allows men to rape prisoners of war and take them as their wives. Qur'an 2:65: "O Prophet! We have made lawful to thee thy wives to whom thou hast paid their dowers; and those whom thy right hand possesses out of the prisoners of war whom Allah has assigned to thee..."

Muhammad says that a woman is only worth half of a man in terms of intelligence, witness and inheritance. Qur'an 2:282: "O you who believe! when you deal with each other in contracting a debt for a fixed time, then write it down; and let a scribe write it down between you with fairness... (if) he is not able to dictate himself, let his guardian dictate with fairness; and call in to witness from among your men two witnesses; but if there are not two men, then one man and two women from among those whom you choose to be witnesses, so that if one of the two errs, the second of the two may remind the other... this is more equitable in the sight of Allah and assures greater accuracy in testimony"

Tells Muslims to fight non-believers until they are forced to submit and acknowledge Islam's superiority. Qur'an 9:29: "Fight those who do not believe in Allah, nor in the latter day, nor do they prohibit what Allah and His Messenger have prohibited, nor follow the religion of truth, out of those who have been given the Book, until they pay the tax in acknowledgment of superiority and they are in a state of subjection."




Israel is not the enemy -- they are just one of the targets that Islam seeks to eradicate. Make no mistake, if Israel did not exist, they'd be coming for us instead. They're bound to impose their culture and laws on everyone else, willing or not. It's already happening in the UK.

Israel is a Talmudic Jewish state that wishes to eradicate Christianity if it could. Just read the Talmud if you want to make a point on any religion blaspheming Christ.

Sanhedrin 107b claims that Christ had taught witchcraft, Kerithuth 6b states that "Only the Jew alone is human. The non-Jewish people are not called humans, they are classed as cattle."

Sanhedrin 58b 17-18 states; "Rabbi Haiana says: a Gentile who struck a Jew is liable to receive the death penalty, as it is stated when Moses saw an Egyptian striking a Hebrew; "And he turned this way and that..." does that seem very just to you?

Israel, as a Jewish state, is an ethno-state, and if the had the oppertunity to destroy the sacred Church of the Holy Sepulcher, they would. While Muslims don't like us neither, so do Jews.
