Christianity isn't absolutism. It's free will informed and used properly. And wake up, you already live in a totalitarian regime. Problem is the stance you're taking is with the regime and against men, women, and families who hold themselves to a moral standard. If you want to dodge answering my legal consent question that's fine, but you need to concede that yours, and their arguments are only based on personal biased with no fundamental backing other than that of Karl Marx and Barack Obama.
Christian absolutism: So the whole, 'your going to spend eternity in hell, unless you follow our path,' doesn't sound like a totalitarian regime to you?
"Free will informed and used properly": So a person has free will to follow your path. If not, you will be shamed, coerced, or otherwise brow-beaten to use your free will for the good of the christian god? Back in the day, Christianity did more than just psy-ops on non-christians to turn the population to their religion. Just saying.
"And wake up, you already live in a totalitarian regime": Lets see, as Christianity was the dominate religion since this nation was founded, tell me again how we got to this totalitarian regime?
If you wish to talk about legal age of consent, then start a new thread to pontificate about it. Flooding discussion with un-related topics does nothing to help others understand. But I get that is also part of the conversion process; agreement via confusion.
Hell isn't absolutism. You're given a choice. It doesn't mean you never sin again. It means you live a life expressing penitence, trying to turn from your sins, and ultimately turning from them through faith. I hate when people say Christianity is absolutism because it's the furthest thing from the truth. People like you just have to much pride to accept when you're wrong.
Free will informed and used properly doesn't mean you don't screw up. It just means rather than throwing a parade in others peoples faces about it you repent for your sins and attempt to turn from them. I've seen this struggle in men and women and it's real and it's difficult. Yeah, some are legitimately proud and have no struggle because they've pushed of the Holy Spirit and are numb to conviction, but others hurt deep inside because of it. Do you feel for those kids and adults or just think they must be crazy? I mean if you're born gay why question it? Why not just go where ever your dick leads you?
How'd we get this totalitarian regime? Wolves in sheep's clothing. Don't ask stupid question. It's called corruption and it's the same damn thing you yourself have acknowledged in our nation. This whole agenda is what it is. Even if you put lipstick on a pig it's still a pig. And as far as Christians committing a psyop; once again you are looking for perfection in men in a fallen world. EVERYONE is a hypocrite. Not to one extent or another. Me, you, everyone. That said would you rather stake a claim to morality and draw a line in the sand or just continue back stepping until you're up against a wall?
The age of consent argument was only to point out that people like yourself deal with things in degrees so you can scapegoat facts. It's like saying. "Obama's evil, but he's not as evil as Hitler." Like changing the age of consent to 13 is bad, but in comparison to homosexual marriage it's horrific because you want to tote it like it's some civil rights victory. It's like the blind men and the elephant. you have a concept of morality, but not the big picture. Reminds me of all the whites who voted for Obama because he was black. If you're confused it's your own deal.
