I've only ever had to block a single person in years and years on social media. You know what set him off? In the course of some other argument I was making, I said, "most people around the world are good". Who knew that would be so controversial? He was some kind of Christian religious zealot.
The point is, I learned that the kind of implacable fanaticism that we usually associate with scimitars and stakes and carpet bombing is alive and well in this world, and it does not take any sort of unreasonable point of view to get crossways with such a mindset.
The meta-point is that when you look around at other people and think that they're basically like you, that's probably basically correct most of the time. But some people are so very alien to what you might considered a normal human experience that it nearly defies imagination.
That's why I made my post about him linking to the Fathom Journal, something no "conspiracy theorist" would do. Not only that, he used it as a reference for Christianity. LOL
He also said other users, including myself, should not use "Jewish sources", yet it's perfectly fine him using the most radical of Jewish sources.
Check out my post history. And even given the comments in the thread, he's still vetted by old Clem as "genuine". Sure.
Oh no, it wasn't TallestSkil. That type I've learned to just ignore. It's like trying to converse with a dog to get it to stop barking. No point to it anyway because there's no meaning behind it. They just have to get it out of their system.
There's a finer philosophical point to be made about that other guy. A lot of people are trying to "do the right thing" and make the world a better place, in whatever special snowflake way they have. I do too, in my way, The thing is, if I'm doing God's work, I guess I'll find that out when He tells me. These other people don't need anyone to tell them they're they're doing God's work, including God. The disturbing part is when a malevolent force comes along and simply informs them of what God's work is. See how that makes all the difference in the world?
No, this other one I found disturbing. You read about all this crazy, outrageous shit that has gone on throughout history and it's like your mom telling you the stove is hot. You know it's factual, but you don't really know it's true until you make contact with it.
There are people that are basically raised in environments that are, like ya said, alien to us.
And I was raised in a not so nice environment in Baltimore.
But I feel sorry for the people that endured generational abuse. Even Hunter Biden. Now he's a goober and all, but I doubt all the crack and hookers in the world will make up for the shit he had to deal with.
And Hunter Biden is like Disneyland compared to some of them.
As for God's work...well God, is the Word, Logos. God is completely understandable because God, and the universe, is based on a logical framework. It must be.
The ancient Greeks were pretty on point with that, well before Jesus.
God's work is sussing out the details of reality, and I feel that whether you do it internally or by externally observing reality, it is a worthwhile endeavor.

Nah, TallestSkil isn't Christian.
