Ahoy! I don't recall all the words involved in the conversation you are recalling, but I think it was more to do with religious beliefs than politics. I don't really adhere to left/right thinking - as I have said many times. The left/right wing concept is from the French revolution and outside of that context has little practical meaning to me. Different people apply it in totally different ways and it misses the mark when it comes to identify the key factors when devising systems for human support. Politics itself is mostly a waste of time since if politics were meant to solve people's problems, they would, by now - be mostly solved.
Note: For me, 'right' is 'empire builders' and you can rest assured that the biggest censors also try to build empires.
There's a reason why FB and Twitter want the most timid content while erasing dissenting voices - it is partially to appease advertisers and partially to please the board who have interests in the corporations who look bad when dissent is allowed. In other words, they are professional lie systems.
Presumably the avoidance, by some Hive characters, of such real world discussion on key topics that might challenge the mainstream narratives follow similar patterns or might at least just be based on uncourageously trying to emulate silicon valley sites without understanding that Hive will not equal those sites as long as it simply duplicates their agendas.
Unfortunately, I don't have time to communicate and co-create with more than a tiny percentage of people I am contact with - so I have to try to filter them out rigorously based on what I feel is their intent to view expansively and to radically re-assess pretty much everything we have been taught or programmed with.
That's literally me except the programmed part because my metaphysical disposition is one of divine determinism.
What I mean is there is a God or higher being if you will that orchestrates everything even to our most minute thoughts. He's just determined that you and I would arrive at different conclusions.
Concerning the world, I question EVERYTHING. Concerning my God that has decreed I would find a treasure in His work, I dare not.
I know we have discussed this topic in lengthy discourse and I am glad to continue doing. You and I differ from those that you have called out as we promote this dialogue.
In such, is where the truth is mined if you will. I think every person had some degree of malleability to what they believe but, for others, they are inhibited by their own hubris.
I will say that according to the metaphysical doctrine to which I hold it is impossible that I can think anything otherwise than believe that Jesus Christ is LORD and died for me over 2000 years ago.
So, in that sense, you are correct. I think it would be a fool's errand to try to convince me otherwise because my doctrine properly understood does not allow for apostasy.
When someone believes on Christ's death and that alone for righteousness, that's what I would call a "done deal". Thus, I understand why you had chosen to disengage because you had rightly judged you would be unable to change my mind.
This isn't about you or me. The question becomes what Christ's death if it were for anything what was it for precisely? I am a wretch no better than any other man.
If ye think yourself higher than what Jesus did or do not believe He did die on the cross for certain person's, there is nothing else I can say but wish you the best in your quest for righteousness.
