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.

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.

@Bernard had a good summary of Common Filth in his OP, but one of the key concepts in his rhetoric is the "natural aristocracy" or "natural aristocrats". Similar to the Velvet Mafia or the more dated "gay agenda", the natural aristocracy refers to a shadowy elite of powerful and influential homosexuals who conspire like the Comintern in spreading LGBT politics around the globe. On the agenda includes the acceptance of pedophilia, especially those of young boys. Common Filth believes the natural aristocrats seek to invert society from the top down similar to certain theories involving a tribe of long-nosed bankers and financiers.

More interestingly, Common Filth started to become more indifferent towards the Jews. Make no mistake, he was never philosemitic and felt Jews played a hand in the crucifixion of Jesus. He also rejected Zionism and opposed the State of Israel. Still, he would criticize the alt-right for accusing Jews of corrupting society while being entirely complicit in its degeneracy.

As to the "race idolatry" talking point, Common Filth felt white people overcelebrated their race's collective history while also attempting to dodge blame for its fall from grace. Keep in mind Common Filth doesn't accept conventional left-wing anti-racist positions, and he criticized minorities who engage in such rhetoric as acts of empty grievance mongering. At the same time, he felt blacks shouldn't be criticized too harshly because they never ascended to the heights of Western Civilization. Common Filth largely deferred criticism of blacks to Pastor James Manning who he felt was qualified to speak on the matter.

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 retarded 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.

Not only that, but they forget that everyone is a sinner, including themselves.

Yeah, the Orthodox vs Catholic vs Protestant shit in this board is the pettiest most worthless stuff I've ever seen on an imageboard.

And that's probably saying something.

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!


Heh heh heh...2 months ago I used to wank to hentai but now I have faith in the holy metropiktan church of Moscow so you are all 'degenerates'! YOU ARE ALL HERETICS! you're...you're the ones who broke away from the true church!

I wonder if this guy knows Charles Darwin was a devout Christian.

 

[KimCoppolaAficionado]

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'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".

That's the best explanation for this I have ever heard.

I'm sure someone posted that in the thread and he REEEEEEEE'd hard about it. And it not, they will.

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?

Oh man, Common Filth, that takes me back. The guy who would download terabytes of furry tranny scat porn and be like LOOK WHAT I FOUND! LOOK HOW BAD THIS IS!

These guys are funny bc 99% of them are unchurched, unmarried, and only know the parts of the bible they think let you be racist. They have no reason to act haughty by any standards, especially their own. Sure, OrthoGroyper may still jerk off to hentai 4x a day, but that's down from 5x last year, and he's still somehow morally superior to guys who, gasp, got blowjobs in college, those degenerates.

 

[MormonofID]

Two posts for consideration. First up, more gay people hate.

Secondly, REEEEEEing over Protestants.

The most put-together believers I know spend more time praying, worshiping and fellowshipping (offline) than posting on internet forums.

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.

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).

Forums have their place but they are a poor substitute for real community.

Too true, my friend.

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.

Ironically despite this board having a deep hatred for muslims. (another reason why I think the board exploded in popularity in recent years is due to muslim migrants/converts/ISIS). Muslim converts actually join Islam for the same reasons. They want to stop what they see as "degeneracy" and think people need to follow their rules. And want to be around people with the same opinions. And hate the same people and read a lot of the same stories from their holy book. (Since Jesus is in the Quran under a different name).
