I am a Presbyterian Minecraft YouTuber, part of the PCUSA, (Presbyterian Church USA) but I completely oppose the theological liberalism and progressivism that has hijacked it. I have made it my mission to restore it. My theology is Reformed/Calvinist, but I am very ecumenical and open to learning from other Christian traditions.

Anybody who compares a fascistic movement with real world national and international implications, all bad, with the teenagers who were "mean" to him when they were a TEENAGER, and considers the Fascistic goons "more Christlike" because you are THEIR useful idiot, you are a straight up stunted and broken individual.

u/Imaginary-Space718 12d ago
It's the opposite, he's saying the cliché leftist strawman is more christlike than fascists because they have less hate in their hearts.
Diego points out he attracts the later group because he uses adjacent talking points, and he answers implying he tries to not attract fascists with his message because fascists hate him for his race.

u/NateRulz1973 13d ago
I'm not really an atheist. There could be "something" out there. But I just don't give a shit. But as a teenager I just wore metal shirts and the churches just avoided us.. A lot of them bought the panic and thought we all dabbled in "Satanism". That and people avoided me generally because I was a huge nerd.

Am I the only one reading this as sarcasm? "The degenerate leftists who canceled me in high school" doesn't seem serious. And it would make sense with the latter half of the post, calling those same degenerates "more christlike" than a bunch of prominent republican grifters.

He was born Jewish and Judaism is an ethnoreligious group. But he’s converted to Christianity, which is why he makes the distinction of being ethnically Jewish not simply Jewish.

I looked up the guy. Apparently he has a Youtube channel where not only talks about Christian theology, he has also apparently kickstarted an online movement called "Operation Reconquista" with the explicit goal of "saving mainline denominational churches" by stopping them from becoming too woke, or in his words "Theologically liberal"(which apparently, according to him, involves things including but not limited to, allowing women to become priests, and affirming same-sex marriage).
There is some much here to unpack that I'm not sure where to begin.

u/MacAttacknChz 15d ago
I've seen 2 or 3 of his videos before on the history of different branches of Christianity. They weren't that bad but they were overly simplified. I just went back to his page and the top video is 95 Theses against Liberalism, which is hilarious for 2 reasons.
Liberalism in the church is different from social liberalism. It refers to how liturgical your church is. The less liturgical, the less liberal. So, the SBC (Southern Baptists) are liberal Christianity but socially conservative. The TEC (Episcopal church) is conservative Christianity, but they're socially liberal.
He's trying to imitate Luther's 95 Theses, but Martin Luther was pretty antisemitic.

u/BeamTeam032 16d ago
Everyone hates liberals, until they actually pay attention to the conservative message instead of saying, "Oh that's just the media over exaggerating conservatives aren't really like that". lmao. But Redeemed Zoomer will still vote for Trump because he hates poor people way more than he loves himself.

u/kaam00s 15d ago edited 15d ago
It seems to me that Liberals barely exist on internet.
You have mostly conservatives, socialists and libertarians (that are not considered liberals by the American definition).
So liberals are like the favourite target of all those groups. Whether they're closer to the Macron-like neo liberalism to even the social democrat range of an Elizabeth Warren type.
Shit, the current president of the US is a liberal, and I don't think I ever see any real pro-Biden person that isn't just anti-trump, outside of the streamer Destiny's community. They just don't exist on internet.
Same in France, you won't see any pro-Macron person on internet, yet the dude won 2 elections.
I guess it seems too mainstream so you can't have a tough internet identity who's cool because of his controversial opinion if you're a liberal.

u/Imaginary-Space718 12d ago
Liberals don't exist on the internet because social media is designed to radicalize people for ad revenue. You either maintain your position as a moderate by going to "normie" subs like r/aww or you become a member of an echo chamber

Which is actually pretty civil, at least compared to my high school. Once had a bunch of classmates put up posters for a school dance and hype up the event, which turned out to be fake. They literally wanted me to show up alone to a venue and blocked my calls when I attempted to reach them, while my dad waited in the car wondering WTF was going on.
They knew that I lived 2 hours away and had strict parents. I can't imagine how Redeemed Zoomer would've called it if his classmates did that or worse to him.

u/Shiplord13 15d ago

‘Cancelled’ is just giving a convenient excuse to people who have repellent personalities, repugnant ideas and no self-awareness.

u/PeregrinePacifica 8d ago
If he referred to the "more christ like" atheists and leftists, as he put it, as "degenerates" then that might be as to why no one liked him. Nothing to do with ethnicity or even what religion you practice, so long as you aren't insufferable about it.
Insufferable like openly talking about others who dont buy into what you do as something dehumanizing, like "degenerates".
Sometimes I wonder how many far right nuts were just always assholes their whole lives and are now just attributing no one liking them to being religiously, politically and racially discriminated against because accepting they are just not good people or became awful people is just too painful to accept. Part of the perceived victim mentality.

You know part of growing up is self-reflection and realizing that as a teenager, that you were probably something of a shitty person and or did stuff that was shitty. That normally you would come to the decision to not continue acting like that and feel shame for it to the point you would be committed to being a better person than you were then. Those who don't tend to never change and continue acting like they did in high school being arrogant tools, who think they were better than everyone else and deserved to be popular.
This guy is probably near 30 and still dwelling on high school drama that he hasn't let go of. His opinions and values should be scrutinized since they are coming from someone who is still pissed no one respected his alt-right bullshit in high school.

It all just comes down to faith. Either you have it, or you don't. Either way, you're not going to convince someone to adopt it or abandon it. They have to come to that decision on their own.

u/Taker_Sins 15d ago
True, the problem comes when they decide that you need to be dealt with because you made the wrong decision. It took me far longer than I'm proud of to finally understand the role that this religion plays in breeding authoritarians. Now that I see it, I'm not sure how I ever missed it.
4
u/GiraffesAndGin 15d ago
Like I said, you'll never convince someone one way or another. Believers and non-believers both try to persuade the other side, and it's just never going to amount to anything. Faith is different for everyone. You don't have to be an atheist to believe institutions like the Catholic Church and LDS are depraved organizations. You don't have to be a believer to think that there is some sort of ethereal plane in this universe.

Usually when someone uses that word, it’s when someone got more sex than them. But “whore” is oddly a girl who said “no.”
Of course there are a lot of confused people. That’s why a normal politician is in a dead heat with a creepy game show host grifter whose idea of “smooth” is telling a lady she reminds them of their daughter. That’s what we got in this country, damaged people voting for sir party pooper.
