Episode 105 - SHORT - October 8th and everything after - with Christians for Palestine
One year on from the attacks of October 7th 2023, and from the disproportionate Israeli campaign of violence that followed, it is more important than ever for Christians and all people who care about human rights and political justice to stand up and speak out against genocide, occupation and collective punishment.
That's why people like Christians for Palestine are such an essential witness.
We caught up with them on the most recent march in solidarity with Palestine.

    The Israeli and Hamas conflict underscores the tragic consequences that can arise when religious differences lead to violence and division. In the pursuit of lasting peace, it's essential to transcend religious divides and prioritize the well-being of all people, regardless of their beliefs. Embracing secular values, such as human rights, equality, and diplomacy, can pave the way for a more peaceful and inclusive future where conflicts are resolved through dialogue and cooperation rather than religious affiliations. Art, as a powerful medium, can guide our morality by fostering empathy, promoting tolerance, and inspiring us to envision a world where humanity's shared values and aspirations unite us rather than divide us. Literature, in particular, has the unique ability to create open-minded perspectives by exposing us to diverse viewpoints, cultures, and ideas, which can ultimately lead to greater understanding and empathy among individuals and communities. Curiosity, not a belief in a deity, is the key to a fulfilling and meaningful life, driving us to explore, learn, and connect with the world around us in our shared human journey towards peace and enlightenment. I hope everyone who does not wish to align with any ideology can get out of this conflict with safety and in once piece! <3

    I had a terrible experience and a huge trauma last year from my previous church. Today after watching these online, I finally got the courage to contact Safeguarding who deal with these things. I honestly didn't find it particularly helpful at all other than they kept trying to get me to fund more counselling sessions (after the church experience left me in small debts) which is where you just sit and continuously talk at someone with nobody at the other end interacting with you or helping you work through your hurt. The safeguarding member said "It sounds like you're getting your life together now. (Totally untrue as that trauma has effected me tremendously) and what we can do is maybe stop it from happening to people in the future".....so where does that leave ME ... As the victim?? If safeguarding aren't willing to make an effort to help, then the victims stand No chance at getting any kind of justice. They can prevent it happening again (not for certain) and the victim feels like a guinea pig to their experiments who is then chewed out and spat out

      @@jonlangley4871here is no man who walked the earth who was sinless apart from The Lord Jesus, His judgement is righteous and good. I am quite young and do not have the wisdom that comes with age but I do know that the message Jesus brought through his life on earth is not one of fitting God into the ways of the world, it is gaining freedom from your own sin through grace and rejecting the ways of the world in favour for the ways of God. I cannot see homosexuality and other forms sexual acts outside of marital heterosexuality being righteous as it is deemed as wrong in the Bible which is the word of God, If Jesus wanted for homosexuality within monogamy to be righteous He would have said as the people who lived in Jerusalem when Jesus walked the earth were unanimously opposed to homosexuality so it seems to big of an issue to miss out if Jesus wanted his followers to affirm a homosexual lifestyle. Mary Magdalene was a prostitute who gained freedom from her demons, sin through the grace and love of God, many people would have been angry with Jesus for associating with her due to the life she led before she met Jesus, I do not think by accepting Mary Magdalene Jesus was accepting sexual acts within prostitution as righteous, and I do not think that when Mary was a follower of Jesus she believed the acts she committed in the past were righteous,In the same way people who have a homosexual lifestyle are welcome to come to Jesus, but God does not see their homosexuality as righteous You are right when you mention not to judge others sin because we are all sinners, though I find a problem when your definition of sin is different to the Bibles, the pursuit of a life of sin should be warned against, especially if you are in the church and leading others to define sin differently I have to admit I listened to 12:30 ish and then stopped so I may have missed something.

    Basically large amounts of Christianity celebrate and enforce the searing of one's conscience and destruction of the mind, i.e. one's highest moral intuitions of the Good, True, and Beautiful. This is based on a dualistic understanding of the human beings, which are seen not as creatures made by their Creator with moral and rational faculties but as blind and fallen beings totally incapable of discerning the truth: the end result is voluntarism. This view is closer to Gnosticism than to Biblical Christianity.

    A great way to spot bullshit claims is that they're compatible with any state of affairs whatsoever. Challenge Xians to forward some _purely hypothetical_ examples of discoveries; occurrences; observations which would compel them to believe that God does _not_ exist; that God is _not_ good; that God is _not_ just; that the bible isn't "inspired;" and they can't - or won't - do it! It's the job of apologists to uphold the authority of the bible no matter how they have to monkey-wrench science and the bible to do so. Science says the Earth is far, far older then 6 to 10 thousand years? No problem. Just reinterpret the biblical days in the Genesis creation stories to mean long ages. Science says the Earth isn't flat? Fine, just henceforth ignore verses that indicate a flat Earth. Science refutes a worldwide flood survived by a floating zoo skippered by a 600 year-old man? OK, just reinterpret the story as metaphorical and disregard Jesus' words in Mathew and Luke which show he did believe in the Flood and thus can't be a god. Biblical scholarship shows that the Flood story is actually two contradictory flood stories long ago shuffled together? Meh, just ignore that. Biblical scholarship shows that Moses is probably a myth and didn't write the Pentateuch? Just ignore that and try to hide that Jesus believed Moses wrote the Law. Medical science dismisses demon possession as a cause of any illness? Fine, just ignore or reinterpret passages showing Jesus going around "casting them out." Evolution undermines special creation? No problem. Just dream up the Intelligent Design twaddle. Palestinian archeology and Egyptology agree that there was no Exodus, no Sinai wanderings and no conquest of Canaan by Joshua? Ignore or reinterpret. Scads of biblical verses portray Jesus, Paul and others as believing that the end of the world would happen soon? Simply ignore or reinterpret to maintain the supposed accuracy of "prophecy." It's the job of apologists to uphold and maintain the bible for use as a weapon in a program of ideological domination no matter how it warps science and distorts the bible and the intent of the authors. Because once they admit that the bible is wrong about anything, it justifies us to believe it's _all_ baloney unless confirmed by outside sources. It's really slimy how apologists will reject and deny the findings of science and biblical scholarship until the evidence becomes overwhelming whereupon they will deceptively reinterpret difficult passages and claim "That's what the bible _really_ said all along!" Ugh.
