Do evangelicals have souls?
Jul. 16th, 2024 09:59 amDo evangelicals even have souls to save? They might if there were any, but I guess the answer is "No," because no one is an evangelical anymore, not the ones who aren’t frothing mad. They’re “Jesus Followers” who have a “relationship not a religion” never minding that that religion depends on accepting large swaths of Judaism (that’s definitely a Religion though, for sure, not a covenant or culture or some other nice fluffy word, because religions are “stuffy and bad” and we are “good and youth pastor cool 😎”) or the fact of requiring you to believe in a supernatural world full of demons and angels and undead apocalyptic messiah types. Just like any “relationship” you have, right?
Oh wait no it just means you talk to God and he Speaks to you and loves you and wants you to support making sure every trans child in the world probably is tortured beyond recovery. Usually when I encounter people who tell me that “God speaks to them” I get ready to leave the area or give them a wide berth but I guess you’re respected by some of the worst fucking people in the world so that’s somehow different? No, I get it, you’re the one that God *really* does talk to, yeah?
Tell me, if God told you to kill me here and now would you follow through? Should I trust what you say more or less even if the answer is "No?" Did you mean to say "I’m full of shit, God never *actually* talks to me I just think thoughts and decide those are special God Thoughts not, say, hallucinations or disassociations or something like that"? Again, my expectation of people who “talk to God” is that they need to do some serious reality testing right now, not that they’re a good person to take life advice from. Oh, you test everything by the Bible before you believe it? Really? The morality of hacking an Ethereum contract or some shit is in there? Oh, I see, it provides all the principles needed to know? FUCK WOW THAT’S rad AF dude let’s plug this shit into a forward chaining proof system or GodGPT or something and answer ALL the questions for once. Oh, wait, you mean you still have to kind of make it up in the end? And you don't even know for sure that this process works for everything until you encounter it? So not everything is in the bible for sure?
