Democrats Are ‘Children Of Satan,’ Right-Wing Radio Host Says

[Badger]

Modern secular social liberalism has at its root the same pitch as Satan gave to Eve: you know better than God, so why follow His rules? In a very literal way, social liberalism, atheism, libertarianism, etc. could all be labeled as Satanic and rightfully so.

Stupidest thing you've ever posted.

Stupidest post I've read all week, and that's saying a ton.

Go re-read the Book of Luke, and reconsider your words.

Now that's ironic seeing as how most of what Republicans stand for is the antithesis of what Jesus preached, but I expect nothing more from these wolves in sheep's clothing who seem to think that Christianity is correlated to being a Republican.

The warmongering of the Republican Party is something that is un-Christian, but Democrats do that too.  Jesus also said nothing about whether helping the poor should be done through private charity or through government involvement.  And when you factor in Democrats' support for abortion, the GOP is clearly the lesser of two evils from a Christian perspective.

AGAIN. As I patiently tried explaining to you a couple weeks ago, it is NOT NOR EVER HAS BEEN a "private charities" OR "government assistance" dichotomy. It is in fact the former or both. Cutting public funding does NOT increase charitable giving much if at all. The end result is more sick, starving, suffering.

In short, literally everything Jesus ever instructed us NOT to do to our fellow mankind.

While it's literally impossible for people to know better than God, God gave us a brain in order to think, otherwise he would have left the brain part out. It's all part of God's plan. In any case, Trump isn't very Godly.

Sure, but not all possible thoughts and actions are in accordance with God's will; He gave us fists, but that itself doesn't morally justify a punch. That's part of the whole free will thing.

The Bible is predicated on the notion that God's will is inherently and definitionally the highest possible good, ergo deviation from it is suboptimal at best and outright evil at worst. Every time Satan appears in the Bible, his message is consistent. He talks to people who know what the right thing is, but for whom doing what they want to do would be easier, more pleasureful, and full of positive worldly consequences. When Satan came to Jesus in the desert, it was to tell Him that taking the easy way out would give Him all kinds of worldly wonders, despite the fact He knew the Father's will for Him was anything but easy.

The Left complains God's commands as understood through the Bible are too strict, too hard, too intolerant, too offensive. Wouldn't it be easier to just ignore them? Think of all the money, fame, sex, drugs, and power you could have. Wouldn't that just be so good? Think of how many fewer arguments we'd have if no one cared what others did. No one would ever have to feel judged for what they did; no one would have to ever experience anything negative which might actually build moral character. Everything would just be so easy. And at the end of the day, when you feel that gaping maw of emptiness inside you, it's okay because you can fill it with new shallow frivolities tomorrow; you can always mortgage your soul another day.

But at least liberals care about the worldly pleasantries of others. Libertarians and some others on the Right (including Trump) would take even that if they could extract another ounce of worldly pleasure for themselves. Atheists go so far as to say God's commands don't even exist, and spend their lives pre-gaming for the absence of God awaiting them after this life, going so far as to lionize eternal annihilation as a desirable end. The Satanic call is so ingrained in their psyche that even the infinite beauty of God's love becomes like ash in their mouths, something to be despised and hated even if they believed it existed. It's no coincidence that the Church of Satan is essentially an atheistic, libertarian cult.

You can see all that in this very thread. Satan's servants will embrace him at the slightest provocation, even if they never realized they were so before. Sure, it may often come as jest, but it is a Freudian jest at best; that they would even allow such an equivocation is telling in itself.

RI, just because I reject stoning idolaters and adulterers, not foregoing sex with my wife during menstruation, that the value of Pi is 3, etc. doesn't mean I believe God's will is "too tough".

The same cannot be said for those who cling like a newborn to its mother to Levitican Rabbinical laws to justify their already established world view as "ungodly", yet ignore pretty much everything Jesus himself said about giving and sharing as a society makes Jeremy Corbyn look more right wing then Thatcher....

Well, let's just say there are as many if not more "cafeteria Christians" on the right; they just help themselves to more familiar dishes.

How much time did you waste writing this?

Very little, I suspect. This is merely what plays in RI's mind as a loop.

"Atheists go so far as to .. lionize eternal annihilation as a desirable end."

I am more or less an atheist, but after about 5 or more decades of living in such a Godless state, I remain unaware that I lionized annihilation. Sad! Who do I want annotated when pray tell? Please explain. Thanks so much.

One could easily flip it around the other way: "Christians are so entitled that they believe they have a right to perpetual bliss."

The Chronic Broad brushstrokes in this thread of both atheists and Christians is disturbing and downright annoying to say the least. Not to mention simply inaccurate

RI is one of my least favorite types to discuss politics with: assumes the truth of his own position and then psychologises those who disagree with him from there. Rather than starting from "atheist liberals take a position of epistemic humility as to whether God exists or not", he jumps immediately to "the truth of Christianity is obvious, therefore atheist liberals must wilfully deny God because they hate him/are debauched".

Is religious piety frequently crosses the line into Orthodox zealotry. Why should we be surprised about this?
