Edit: What do you judge them for?
MAGA gear. A Tesla, esp a Cyberdump. A Calvin Pissing sticker. A Jesus shirt; crosses display faith but a shirt or hat says “this is my whole entire identity”. Any Suburban, F150, Super Duty, or similarly oversized American SUV or pickup. I know you never haul anything and your groceries are all in the cab.
If you have a religion, shouldn’t it be your entire identity?
…no? Why would it be?
Ephesians 2:8-10
For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
1 Peter 2:9-10
But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. Once you were not a people, but now you are God’s people; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.
I don’t see anything in there saying, “so make worshiping me your entire identity and think of nothing else you brainless slave”
Real interesting what religous nutjobs read in to things…

I think you need to read some new material that isn’t super rapey.

Please elaborate. This is fascinating.
How to recognize a true believer, from Matthew 7:16-20:
16 By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17 Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.
I mean, I can only assume that what they are referring to is Bhagavad Gita 9:27:
Whatever you do, whatever you eat, whatever you offer in sacrifice, whatever you give, whatever austerity you practice, O Arjuna, do it as an offering to Me [Lord Krishna].
You are arguing that everyone who has a particular religion should be identical to each other?
Woah now, Calvin can piss on anything… Surely there is room for comedy there.
The cartoonist never agreed to mechanizing so at best it’s still stealing from the family of a beloved icon.
He’s still alive, technically it would be stealing from him
