Good grief. So, if I'm getting this right, and correct me if I'm wrong here, Common Filth is being criticized for not being enough of an alt-right cocksore, despite hating gays, liberals, and anyone who disagrees with him? Also, where is he getting this idea that white people "turn their race into a false idol"? There is just so much to unpack here.Just because it fits, here's the emails sent between a /christian/ Anon and Common Filth:

Common Filth rejected the notion of "the enemy of my enemy is my friend." On CFR, Common Filth harshly and steadfastly criticized of the alt-right for its loose morals, pagan trappings and the support or tacit acceptance of homosexuality. For him, it wasn't enough to be merely critical of LGBT politics. A true believer had to condemn all manifestations of homosexuality. Seeing that Western and European countries actively take steps to promote LGBT politics across the globe, Common Filth felt all white Westerners who didn't actively reject gay rights were complicit in its spread. He also felt that white right-wingers tend to ignore their in-group's worst behavior for political expediency which spoke to their malleable morals.Common Filth is being criticized for not being enough of an alt-right cocksore, despite hating gays, liberals, and anyone who disagrees with him?

Not only that, but they forget that everyone is a sinner, including themselves.this shit is extremely stupid too because one of the main messages of the gospel is to be graceful and christlike, and these guys sit online all day talking about misc bullshit on the fringes of the culture of His word and dumb bullshit semantics between various cults and sects; it's disheartening to see people who have claimed to witness the Holy Spirit in action be fucking exceptional online instead of being hands on with their relationship with God like they're supposed to be doing. basically, they're what they rail on the most: false christians.
Yeah, the Orthodox vs Catholic vs Protestant shit in this board is the pettiest most worthless stuff I've ever seen on an imageboard.this shit is extremely stupid too because one of the main messages of the gospel is to be graceful and christlike, and these guys sit online all day talking about misc bullshit on the fringes of the culture of His word and dumb bullshit semantics between various cults and sects; it's disheartening to see people who have claimed to witness the Holy Spirit in action be fucking exceptional online instead of being hands on with their relationship with God like they're supposed to be doing. basically, they're what they rail on the most: false christians.
And that's probably saying something.Yeah, the Orthodox vs Catholic vs Protestant shit in this board is the pettiest most worthless stuff I've ever seen on an imageboard.
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! da pope is the whore of babylon drunk on the blood of the saints. sola scriptura, cunt! Worshiping in a concrete box in a strip mall is way cool!And that's probably saying something.
I've said this before, but these sorts of people belong to a "Christianity of aesthetics". They love the iconography of Christianity (especially the Crusader States era or the Great Rebirth), but aren't interested in actually cultivating virtue and a relationship with Christ, or even understanding the basic points of theology. At most, they like the negative aspects of Christianity (don't masturbate, don't be homosexual, don't worship false idols), and have little to no interest in the positive aspects (do love your neighbor, do give to the poor, do be humble). So instead, they dress up what they already believe in Christian trappings and follow that, instead, while decrying everyone who disagrees as not being "real Christians".Are any of these people actually Christians? And I don't mean in a "No True Scotsman" sense, just... they HAVE to be trolling.
... right?

I'm sure someone posted that in the thread and he REEEEEEEE'd hard about it. And it not, they will.View attachment 665788
I wonder if this guy knows Charles Darwin was a devout Christian.
But didn't Darwin notice animals evolving in his lifetime? Like obviously not in real time but I'm pretty sure he observed that an animal species from 25 years back was in his own time now able to swim and go on land at the same time?View attachment 665788

You raise a good point. That's not to say Christian forums don't have their place (r/christianity is a generally very welcoming, Christlike community), but even the best can only do so much.The most put-together believers I know spend more time praying, worshiping and fellowshipping (offline) than posting on internet forums.
(Yeah, yeah, pot meet kettle...)
I actually read my way into converting into Orthodox Christianity but I found that many of my behaviors afterward were for the sake of impressing forum members who I never met and had no intention of meeting. (I ended up reverting to the popish faith).You raise a good point.

Too true, my friend.Forums have their place but they are a poor substitute for real community.
A lot of the reasons why these people turned to religion in the first place was vanity and contempt for others. It was more so a reaction to other people around them straying from what they see as "traditional values" which is why they focus so heavily on iconography like religious symbols and paintings. Because they pine for a society that they think was stronger and better solely because it was more religious.I've said this before, but these sorts of people belong to a "Christianity of aesthetics".
