All religion is a tool. I use it when called for, and humans are a disease, Utopians (and progressives) can't accept that. They have hope for a future, that has none.Poor fucked up Jesus, the progressive...My own personal working definition of what a Progressive is not what general society considers progressive to mean.What is a progressive in your definition?The anti-confederate groups are not progressives...
They seem to wear the label and my progressive friends see to think the BLM folks are progressives, so why do you say that and what linkage can you provide?
Or are you just trolling?
I consider a real Progressive to be a person who thinks that we should have as a goal the improvement of society. Sort of like the old Boy Scout slogan about leaving a camp site cleaner than you found it.
Originally it was much more than that and tied to American Protestantism's 'City on a Hill' kind of thing. Teddy Roosevelt was a progressive as was most who followed him in the White House.
When Progressivism was successful, it was tied down to basic Judeo-Christian morality, but it isn't any more, and has become a branch of neoMarxism.
Matthew 5:14-16New International Version (NIV)
14 “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
What is wrong with being a 'classic' nonMarxist Progressive like Teddy Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan? I think of myself as Progressive in part.
But todays neoMarxist bullshit is not progressivism and they don't cotton to Jesus. Nor do you as I recall, except when it suits you.
Tell the world it can be a better place, that humans can rise above their nature, try to make a go of it, and they will eventually nail your naked ass to a cross. It's always only a matter of time.
