Sikhism promotes selflessness, justice, and equality.
It abhors faithlessness (including adultery), theft, association with gambling, or idolatry.
How that squares with membership of a cult of personality centred around the idolatrous worship of an adulterous ex-casino owner, I'm not sure. However, it's a reminder that hypocrisy isn't a purely Christian trait, even if they did write the book on it.

Those Mesopotamians, hey? Gotta be first for everything. Agriculture, civilisation, rivers flowing in the wrong direction (there's one for the Egyptologists out there), hypocrisy.
I'm not saying Graeco-Roman gods were nice. They were not. But they never pretended to be. The Judeo-Christian god does and yet, if you were to strip out the titles, a naive reader would assume that god in the OT was the bad guy and Satan was the good guy.
Almost like the bad guy won and rewrote history but didn't understand that just saying "I am the LORD thy God" doesn't neutralise the honest reportage of deeds.
Makes you think that maybe god is real and the Bible is a subtle warning. After all, Matthew 7:20 says "Therefore by their fruits you will know them."
Unfortunately, I don't many MAGAts actually read the Bible. If more people did they'd be atheists or rather anti-theist.

This seems like it would have been a fascinating research topic but I could find almost nothing on the internet and these people are all dead now.
I did learn there was another, smaller, right wing, pro-Hitler Jewish organization that existed at the same time. That group's founder had the sense to flee to Sweden before the leopards could devour him, but his parents perished in a camp. He did write a book that apparently expressed regret for his previous views.
As an aside while I was refreshing my memory I stumbled onto an article about Jews who served in the German military during WW2, turns out there were a lot of them.

(ofc there's a lot in those same religions that meshes quite well with conservatism: self-superiority, outdated views on gender and sexuality, etc.; but it's interesting that those parts are always clung to as though they were the literal word of god (which, to their minds, it is) while the bits about e.g. asceticism or "doing unto others (etc.)" are… treated as irrelevant? i guess what i'm saying is, some religious people seem to have a powerful ability to
pick and choose which parts of the holy text can be freely ignoredknow exactly what god actually wants them to do (because, conveniently, it always aligns perfectly with their own wishes))→ More replies6

The Republicans see things like diversity on the left, and think that just having people of color show up is the same thing. Because they can’t imagine a world where people of color are the best fit for any job. So obviously the left does it just to virtue signal.

Your guess is incorrect. Most world religions are not exclusive and do not claim to be the “true faith”. Claims of exclusive revelation are characteristic of Abrahamic traditions. The vast majority of religious traditions, ranging from various forms of Animism through Shamanic practices, syncretic practices like many of the West African traditions, and teachings like Buddhism, Shinto, Confucianism and Daoism make no claims to exclusive knowledge of reality. Many believers practice multiple traditions simultaneously.

There’s just one god right? Alright Christians and Islamists, time to figure out who’s right. Oh wait, your all wrong it is funny you all claim to be right also funny how your god is always on your side. Convenient!

The funny thing is, they all pray to the same God. All the Abrahamic religions do.

The even funnier thing is that there are no gods at all, and they're only wasting their own time and breath.

RELIGION IS A CANCER ON SOCIETY. Stop being religious, and start being a good person. I guarantee, if there is a god they will care 9,000,000,000 more that you were good to people than whether you were "right".

I read a Marcus Aurelius quote that implored people to live a good life. He said, if there are gods, and they are just, they will judge you by your actions and not how devout you were. If there are gods, and they are not just, you shouldn't want to worship them. And if there are no gods, then you will live on in the memories of those who knew you.

Trouble is that people just find other things to make their entire personality. Like political parties.

Yeah, it is a dark one, but a great one in that it doesn't pull any punches.

Like this hypocrite hasn’t done such a thing. Shit, I’ve argued with Ryan Walters fans who’ve made such a statement in defense of his unconstitutional actions of going against the Establishment Clause, only to remind them that there are those of us who have the right to not even believe in their god.
