A One-Sided Conversation

Me: It shouldn’t read “Right-Wing” it should say “Some Christians Claim”… Most of the Christians I know are Conservative, Right-Wing Christians (myself included) who would scoff and rebuke anyone making that claim.

Me: They are all over the place. The article itself even quotes a few. A handful of people making idiotic claims is not a representation of the Church. There are “Conservative Right Wing Christians” who claim that dancing with snakes is Biblical. It doesn’t mean that all Conservative Right Wing Christians as a whole agree with it. or are all responsible for it.

Me: I refer you back to your article.

And to be frankly honest, there are some valid points about modern secular psychology legitimizing and supporting behavior that God said is sinful. Trying to mop all of these together and condemn all of the things presented in this article, as this article tries to do, is fallacious.

Me: Right-wing and Conservative are redundant. I am a Conservative Christian. My point, again, is that you can not take a fringe group and judge the whole. You can not claim to be upset about being misrepresented, while you yourself, are misrepresenting others. It’s hypocrisy.

Christians Tired of Being Misrepresented wrote: “Matthew Edmund – if you are referring to same-sex attraction — “And to be frankly honest, there are some valid points about modern secular psychology legitimizing and supporting behavior that God said is sinful” – then we ask you to leave this Page. Read “Our Posture” located at the top right corner of our Timeline. Those are our guidelines and to be frankly honest, we have created a safe haven from right-wing theology.”

I was then promptly banned. Hurray for me.

And for your reading pleasure, the logical fallacy I was referring to is “non sequitur“. Sometimes, the truth of the Bible is offensive. Sad “Christians” would take offense to the mere implication of Scripture.

    The upside, and a true blessing in all of this, is that it’s operable, with a really high success rate. The downside is that it’s a major invasive surgery that involves removing a tumor on or near nerves and the brain responsible for vital functions. The risk of complications is high enough to make me uncomfortable. While the risk of death is “less than 1 percent”, actually being on the receiving end of that, feels really high. Especially, when, for five years, you’re reminded by the now dormant name of a friend on your friend’s list who died on an operating table due to complications.

  • An Old Testament Defense Against Polygamy

    The New Testament writers don’t introduce this as new — they reiterate what marriage was designed for from the beginning: a picture of Christ’s singular, covenantal love for His Church (Eph. 5:22-33), as this article will show. Polygamy doesn’t just violate a command. It corrupts that picture.

    This argument is essential for understanding and refuting the heresy of so-called “Christian” polygamists and polygynists who believe they are introducing a legitimate, alternate morality that is biblically defensible. It isn’t. It turns the theology of marriage on its head.

  • Life worth living

    For all of my love of language, one thing I struggle to get behind is the idea of “living like there is no tomorrow” or “live like you only have X amount of time to live.” I appreciate the sentiment of not wasting time — but when I take the idea to its logical conclusion,…

  • Working With My Hands: A Man Who Is Autistic

    The neurodivergent community has created a sub-culture which praises, celebrates, and honors a lack of development and immaturity. Spend any amount of time in an active neurodivergent group and you’ll see varied discussions about someone’s “current hyperfixation” or listing of disabilities like scouting merit badges. Their identity has become the disability they argue isn’t a disability.

  • Autistic Identity

    Over the last year, I “self-identified” as autistic because, well, truth be told, autism explained my life history perfectly. All of the “just” excuses became neatly explained behind autism. In spite of this, and at great personal expense, I pushed for a formal diagnosis because I needed to know for sure.

  • Neurodivergent rejecting neurodiversity worldview

    Accepting that you are “neurodivergent” does not mean accepting the ideology of “neurodiversity.” One is a descriptive label. The other is a worldview.

    Used precisely, neurodivergent describes divergence from the most statistically typical neurological profile. It is a categorization — it says nothing about power, justice, or how human beings ought to relate to one another.
