How crazy is Jim Caviezel?
|
Maybe I'm going to sound like a terrible person here, or maybe a little xenophobic. But I really hate how celebrities and rich people, and even other people always think about adopting children from foreign countries, before they think about adopting children from their own countries. It's like the children who were born here are 'less worthy' for some reason. It's like they want to adopt someone so they can say they did this really truly great thing, and if they adopt one of the more than 100,000 kids in the US who need a home, that it's just not good enough.

But you know I watched that 48 minute interview (or should I say session) with him on youtube and he's truly bonkers. Like Mel Gibson, obsessed with sadomasochism. Hey, I don't want to fall into giving some psychiatric diagnoses, but this is really representation of how Christianity messes up your brain. You are really going off the rails if you actually believe any of what you wrote in the last paragraph. To make the connection between calling out some pretty wacky views by a theist actor, to killing cops in Dallas, is, even for you, pretty out there. And then to think that being a "little left of center" is in any way connected, is just plain crazy. I guess the most likely next mass killer is who? Bernie Sanders? Sorry to burst your little delusional bubble, but there are quite a few countries with a 'center' that is pretty far to the left of the center in the US, and a high percentage atheist population, that do not seem to have weekly problems of people shooting dozens of people in night clubs or killing 1/2 dozen cops. You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
Not to mention the Orlando shooter was most assuredly not left of center. But why let pesky things like facts stand in the way of righteous indignation?

Yeah, not to hard to even to be beyond extreme/radicalized (Nazis come to mind) when everyone has the same value system.. Apples and oranges sport. Again the problem I have outlined is evil and it's many definations. The guy shooting the night club thought he was subduing evil by killing homosexuals, the guy killing cops, again thought he was killing evil men. Likewise The douche bag OP was highlighting what he thought evil of God/self sacrifice for Godly cause to be, by condemning what he saw as 'evil' (even if he would use a different name to label it.) In the act of adopting terminally ill children and seeing the feel loved before they die... All I did was point out that if doing something this good is now to be condemned by the 'center' to be wrong (deserves to be mocked by people like the op and his kudeo-ers) then it is no wonder we have people going to what use to be extremes when God's morals were our standard to stamp out the 'evil' they see.

That's not xenophobic at all. You're bringing up a perfectly valid point.
It's not hard to become radicalized where everyone is indoctrinated the same way... yet, you (and other Christians) want others be be indoctrinated the same way.

The idea being.. Chinese and Korean specifically babies/children have it a little worse than the worst of the worst here could ever imagine. The problem is when an unmarried woman or a woman who gets divorced has children and wants to get remarried the new man 9/10 times will not have anything to do with the other mans kids. So they are sent to live with relitives (grandparents) or they are outright abandoned. Which in of itself is not the tragic issue. What makes it tragic is when the grandparents get too old or there are no relitives to send the kids to. They become wards of the state. which the state does not feel it is their place to raise children, but rather feel it is important that the children be made to pay for their own room and board. which makes orphanages more like labor camps. Very little care is given.. In the land of china, they had a strict rules about children (how many one could have) Girls were hated so they sent them off to the death/labor camps.. When the camp got too full they put the sick or the new borns/one that could not work into dying rooms, where they would be strapped to tables and or chairs and left to die. So.. yeah, I want to apologize for all the Chinese babies that people adopted over American babies... That said I hate it that it has become a in vogue thing to do... but at least some of them have a chance. |
