What's wrong with "woke"?

[quietlylooking]

In the words of Jesus in the book of Mark, chapter 12:​

​

30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’[a] 31 The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[b] There is no commandment greater than these.”

Sounds like Jesus was pretty woke to me.

It ain't logos. You need to learn that not all the red-letter verses are equally reliable quotations. Jesus certainly never said "I and the Father are one." Jesus would not have approved of any form of Christianity after St. Paul got hold of it.

The Ebionites were a lot closer to the actual teachings of Jesus than Paul of Tarsus was. The guy was basically planning to be a political Messiah, regardless of what some folks want to believe.

"Woke" just means "aware of sexism/racism/social injustice."

It's better not to be?!

Omg I have such a fetish for a republican Christian daddy spanking me.

I can't see him recognizing injustice in the context of sex -- he was too traditional a Jew not to be a sexist.

Likewise, too traditional a Jew not to be a racist. Jesus intended his message only for the Children of Israel, not for the gentiles.

So you're probably are a woke Christian and don't even know it.

Yet for some reason, it seems no American who publicly identifies as a Christian will admit to wokeness.

Catholics might, but not Christians.

You paint with a very wide brush.

So, yeah, not most evangelical Protestant Christians of the "born-again" type, of which I used to be a member. From an outside perspective, Catholics are pretty clearly Christians, too.

I let that slide considering the source.

FFS how many alts do PB Deplorable guys have?

An agnostic with paganist inclinations, who is both woke and appreciates many of the teachings of Jesus.

Tell it to Jack Chick.

 

[SevMax2]

Tell it to Jack Chick.

Ah, yes, that motherfucker scared the fuck out of me as a kid. All of those Hell cartoons...fuck him!

 

[PaxNurgle]

It's like being Christian. Think about it.

Being Woke is like being Christian. You are absolutely correct!

Jesus commanded us to be caring and sympathetic, to love our neighbor as ourselves. To be empathetic towards, and not blind to, the suffering of others. Therefore to be anti-woke is to turn a blind eye to the hate and suffering of others, to promote discrimination and disrespect, and, most importantly, to defy the will of God and invert the message of Jesus.

Therefore, to be anti-woke is to be anti-Christian. Simple as that.

Jack Chick performed a valuable spiritual service to the world. He made Christianity look both evil and stupid.

And who could match him for sheer entertainment value?! Not Pat Robertson or Oral Roberts or Jim Bakker!

I grew up in the 60's. Please.

I think woke is a bit too vague.

It's precise enough, for a concept the opposite of which is "asleep."

Apply woke to abortion.

 

[PaxNurgle]

^You can't. It has nothing to do with abortion. It's like applying the Pythagorean Theorem to grilling hot dogs.

Being woke has no bearing on a person's view of abortion?

 

[PaxNurgle]

^No. Two completely different issues.
