Wtf is up with liberal relatives insulting and bashing conservative relatives?

[Book of Jeremiah]

No really. Although my most immediate 8 family members are liberal (stemming from my grandmother), the other 46 family members at Christmas Eve are all conservatives.

This morning I overheard two of my liberal family members.

"They don't even make 100k a year, and they think they are well off, haha. That's why the vote Republican, because they think they're well off."

When I hang out with my other relatives (conservatives) they (at most) will say this about the liberal pocket in family (AT MOST): "I wish they could see past the smoke and mirrors."

Really that's the worst thing my conservative relatives ever said.

Liberals always seem to need a boogey man, even if their own relatives.

I hactually had to intevene this Christmas morning and say:

"Listen I'm not well off, and I'm conservative. We don't vote for rewards and handouts, we vote for principle."

My extended family (husbands side) were mostly liberal. They never seemed to miss a chance to say something in front of me about Jesus in an attempt to offend me - which all stemmed from their being liberal Marxists - very educated people mind you - I pretended to not hear them and treated them with respect. All of them have died of cancer in the past several years and only two are left. They died young too. I couldn't get over how quickly they were gone. One still contacts us occasionally and the other person doesn't contact us at all. If you think about how miserable they are it will cause you to feel more empathy for them. After all, what have they got to look forward to after this life is over? Hell? You know it is so true - the Word says, What will it profit a man to gain the whole world only to lose his own soul. Life is so fleeting. They just do not understand how much so until it is too late.

Dead is dead little friend. Don't have sympathy for them, they couldn't give a damn. And there is no afterlife that anyone knows of. That is the fantasy of children and childish adults believing that death. meaning oblivion, can be overcome. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Do not have sympathy for them? Why not? They wouldn't listen, thought anyone who believed in Jesus Christ and being born again was a joke, and left this earth rejecting Him. How could I not have sympathy for such people? How could I not have sympathy for you? I am very concerned about you, PMH. You need to realize there is life after this and your spirit is going to one of two places. It matters not whether you believe it! It is the truth! I still find it disturbing to think about those who have left this earth without Christ. VERY. I most definitely do not want you leaving earth without Him. Seriously. In the back of your mind, you have doubts about what you believe. I know that you do.

The bottom line is that liberals are assholes. My older brother is a die-hard union man libturd. Whenever we would have family dinners, he would spend the entire dinner talking about politics with my mother and his wife. Of course, he has plenty of derogatory things to say about conservatives. One time I piped up and made an insulting crack about Al Franken. You wouldn't believe the silence that immediately fell upon the table. You would think I had insulted Jesus during a church service.

That's the way liberals all: one standard for them, another for the rest of us. That's why they are all rude assholes.

Seems the one constant in the family is insulting others along partisan lines hey?

You say there's one standard for them and one for everyone else, really? You don't do the same thing?

You have the mind of a children, and the religion of one as well. It's why they rejected you. The dead need nothing from us. Your sympathy should be for the living, we are the ones in Hell.

Honest you mean. You were granted one life, stop treating as if it doesn't matter and praying for eternity instead. It's as if you were given a car, all that you needed, and then said but I want a truck, a boat, a bus, an airplane, and a cruise ship, for all times. You reject what you have while you demand something you don't.

 

[Book of Jeremiah]

I've got the opposite problem, my conservative relatives sit around and discuss conservative politics saying all the things conservatives say about liberals (communist, out to destroy America, lazy good-for-nothings looking for a handout) when I am right there in the room. They totally lack tact, tease me for my politics and attack my retorts to their comments as if I have blasphemed against God and dishonored the family. I do not go home all that often.

They are wrong for doing that. If they know that you are a democrat and that you disagree with them that is truly rude for them to do in front of you at family gatherings. I do not know what to tell you other than that I believe you should confront them and say, Look, I love you but I do not share your political views and feel as if you are targeting me here. Are you Christians? Is this what you want me to take away from my experience with Christian Conservatives? I hope by my sharing this with you - you will stop discussing politics when I am with all of you. Thank you. Then after a brief silence - change the subject. See how that works for you.

How very pompous of you.

Honest you mean. You were granted one life, stop treating as if it doesn't matter and asking for eternity instead.

What you do in this life matters very much, for you are judged by what you do here on Earth.
No one can ask for eternity, you are guaranteed it by believing in God.
You think you know better and think you are correct, when you don't even understand the basics of Christianity.

I can see why your family thought you a dumb little jerk, and cocky as well, since you are. And my unbelief comes from knowing your faith, very well. If you knew it as well as I did, and were a rational adult and not a child, you would reject it as well. It's nonsense, utter nonsense. When you say others will believe the crap that you do, you insult them and that's then end of your testimony. If you want to say souls, live it don't speak of it. No one is listening, for good reason.

One still contacts us occasionally and the other person doesn't contact us at all. If you think about how miserable they are it will cause you to feel more empathy for them. After all, what have they got to look forward to after this life is over? Hell? You know it is so true - the Word says, What will it profit a man to gain the whole world only to lose his own soul. Life is so fleeting. They just do not understand how much so until it is too late.

Dead is dead little friend. Don't have sympathy for them, they couldn't give a damn. And there is no afterlife that anyone knows of. That is the fantasy of children and childish adults believing that death. meaning oblivion, can be overcome. Nothing could be further from the truth.

How very pompous of you.

Honest you mean. You were granted one life, stop treating as if it doesn't matter and asking for eternity instead.

What you do in this life matters very much, for you are judged by what you do here on Earth.
You don't ask for eternity, you are guaranteed it by believing in God.
You think you know better and think you are correct, when you don't even understand the basics of Christianity.

There is no judge beyond the judgement of mankind while you wander the earth. Your One True Faith is as much a lie as all the faiths that came before it.

Because I am a rational person who can figure out that if you came from nothingness, you return to nothingness. You have one life, live it up.

And nothingness emanated from what? Doesn't your alleged rationale understand the dilemma?

There is no dilemma, you were nothing before mom and dad got it on. When you cease to exist, you return to nothingness just as you were created, one cell at a time.

And the nothingness emanates from what?

It emanates from nothing since nothing is required.

The flesh and blood is tangible. Where does that come from? Where does the consciousness come from and go to? Too many questions for anyone to be so absolute. That is rational.

When I cook a hamburger I don't ask what the cow is thinking. Whatever it managed to think of when alive died when we slaughtered it for food. Mankind is no different. It's why your body can be alive and well while your mind is as dead as a doornail.

let me ask you something. When you were a child did you believe in God?

Nope, but I bet you did and it's why you still do. You were told so, just like you were told that you have the One True Faith, without ever having or trying any other.

People raised in a culture without God don't believe in Him. Those raised in one that does do. End of story.

My extended family (husbands side) were mostly liberal. They never seemed to miss a chance to say something in front of me about Jesus in an attempt to offend me - which all stemmed from their being liberal Marxists - very educated people mind you - I pretended to not hear them and treated them with respect.

You will find out that it is true one day.
I pray that you accept the lord before you die, it not you will find out that it is true after you die.
Jesus is coming back, no matter who believes or does not believe.
