A christian, themamapologist, wants parents to defend their faith to their children. However, she doesn’t want them to be taught their faith if it doesn’t reflect well on the religion.
I called her on her hypocrisy.
“No, we aren’t all hypocrites. That is a common Christian claim in order to try to excuse your behavior by accusing everyone of being like you. Your failures aren’t everyone’s.
Christians can’t even agree on what the “standards” are, so your further false claims that your standards are “impossibly high” fail. Curious how your excuse ends up making your god not very intelligent if it gives people impossible standards, and damns them for things it knows they will fail at. This is nothing more than what an abusive parent does.
Since Christians can’t agree on the most basic things, and they’ve had a couple of millennia to get things straight, yep, I can judge you all on your constant failures and constant lies. You don’t love truth since not one of you can agree on what it supposed is.
It’s notable that you claim that you don’t think any demonination is totally right, but you claim that you have the only right one. If it isn’t correct, why would you follow what you do?
So you do advocate keeping information away from children, you simply hide that in claiming “developmentally appropriate”. If your bible is the “truth”, then what about it is inappropriate for a child?”
and of course that got me banned/moderated, though she did allow at least my comments to stay up so far.
Curious how christians choose to make false claims:
“Club, I no longer believe you’re interested in having a reasonable dialogue. Just because something is true, doesn’t make it age-appropriate. Calculus is true, but not age-appropriate for all kids. The Bible has content that kids can’t understand or don’t have the capacity to follow. That doesn’t make it untrue. And absolutely, every single person is a hypocrite. We say it’s wrong to lie, but then think a fib about why we’re late to work won’t hurt. We know we should drive the speed limit, but we’re running late, so make excuses. You think people should be rational and fair in dialogue with you, but you make ridiculous claims like if the Bible is true we should read all of it to our children regardless of their age or developmental level. That isn’t true of any subject or material. I’m not going to argue with you about the novel length comments anymore. Every single thing you said has answers, but they are complex, and I don’t ever get the sense that you’re trying to actually understand my points so much as straw man them. I would appreciate it if you would limit your comments to one basic objection at a time, if you’re interested in a dialogue.”
My “novel length comment” was mostly verses from the bible she asked for. 🙂
It’s even more amusing when another christian commenter tried this:
“David W.
To Clubschadenfreude:
“If you can’t read all of the bible to them, you admit that it isn’t appropriate for anyone.”
Does that apply to A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah Maas, which is commonly found in public schools and is one of the most banned books in public school libraries? Or is the Bible the only book you hold this standard for?”
I tried to ask him why the book was banned but of course that comment doesn’t show. Curious how Christians were behind it. Jezebel has a good article on just why these christians are terrified of such books. They challenge the status quo, and the cult can’t have that.

Never heard of this, fantasy series. Why is it banned?

evidently too much sex. It doesn’t seem to be too bad if one is into romantic sword/sorcery fantasy. The usual plucky young woman that everyone falls in love with, etc. Of course, a young woman that doesn’t want to be a tradwife and dares think for herself is anathema to these cults.

I guess too much sex will do it every time for some folk. 🤣

heh. I personally get bored with sex scenes since they get in the way of the story. I was recently re-reading “The Wolf’s Hour” by Robert McCammon and the sex scenes were silly. I’d pass by them to get to the werewolf beating on nazis.

That type of fantasy has never appealed to me.
I had a very long ‘love affair’ with Stephen Donaldson’s Chronicles of Thomas Covenant in the 80’s. I collected every different edition I could find and those with different artwork. Hard cover and paperback. Yes, I was a bit of a fanatic!
Still one of the better Magical Realm style of fantasy. If you have never read him I would highly recommend you do.
He also branched out into science fiction with The Gap series. A superb series.

I tried the books and just couldn’t stand the main character.

I reckon Donaldson wrote the character to be this way.
The rape scene in the first novel, Lord Foul’s bane, is heinous and this sets the tone.
However, while it cannot be condoned it does speak to his mental condition as to how bereft he was because of his disease.
I don’t know if you managed all six novels of the first two series?

I couldn’t get past the first one. That the author makes it a good thing that the woman doesn’t report her rape is what I found unacceptable.

I thought her reaction was more out of fear and shame. Much like Covenant’s when he realized he had initially got away with it. But of course there are severe repurcussions as the series develops.
But his action is uncovered and as you
