The thing about being poor....Everyone gets is wrong. My dad was high IQ, but there weren’t any jobs. Start a business! Selling to whom? Everyone was broke. These are complicated issues, I have an education, I lived in poverty. And the answers? I legit don’t know.
I do know that my life would have been different without Christianity. Poor people have the same problems, but poor Christians avoided the vices like drinking and smoking, and philandering. They had hope. Probably that’s why I’m such a pro-Christian...who is not a believer.
Marx called religion the opiate of the masses (though there is more context to what he meant). Poor people lost religion and found....opioids. Religion offered hope of another life. We can empirically see what post-Christian America looks like. A stadium of overdoes a year.
Factories closed. Towns fell. You know what saved a lot of small towns? Prisons. Small towns began competing to become the home of a new prison. (One reason decriminalization arguments don’t land is because crimes are prisons are jobs.)
Whenever you talk about poverty, people jump in to remind you it’s worse elsewhere. Why? Because poverty isn’t something we’re supposed to notice in America. It’s the forbidden topic.
Christians are all sinners saved by Christ's death on the cross. No one's sin is worse than another. I'm not religious, I just have a beautiful, peaceful relationship with Christ, my savior. He died for ALL of us so that we might live. Please consider knowing Him today.
I lost (well not really lost; I know where they are) my son (car accident) my granddaughter (SIDS) and my husband of 36 yrs in 21 months.
My faith never waived.
I will see them again.
I will pray that you become a believer in Jesus.
Life on earth is a dot. Eternity 4ever.
Parents were Christian but thought I was smarter than them so became an atheist. Than in college discovered how stupid I was for not believing. After studying the complexity of the cell and the working of the human body could not deny a creator. Humbly returned to Christ.
Honest question..what do you mean by pro-Christian..non-believer?
I grew up poor. One pair of jeans, one pair of shoes at a time. Living in a town with many drunks and perverts. Fights often. Truly believe it was the prayers of others that protected me. Decide to believe. It is not a logical or intellectual choice, it is a spiritual one.
My mom was a single mom of 4, grew up on welfare. Never had enough of anything but the local church adopted us and helped when they could. They put God’s love in action and it’s a big part of the reason I’m a Christian now.
Oh, you believe in something, boss. Whether or not it is of more value than the context in which you grew up is the question.
We do have hope! http://timmcghee.com/goodnews
You really hurt your credibility for the whole thread using a phrase like “pro-Christian who is not a believer.” When people ask what it means, you don’t respond. It makes everything meaningless.
Respect Mike. This thread is fire
Faith moves mountains #ICXCNIKA
Use your illusion .it works
You got that same objective as Peterson, grab the masses of christians who long for some christian values, they don't care if it leads them away or not.
Me too.
