It puts a lot of features at the fingertips of the faithful, including the ability to filter whole neighborhoods by religion, ethnicity, “Hispanic country of origin,” “assimilation,” and whether there are children living in the household.
Its core function is to produce neighborhood maps and detailed tables of data about people from non-Anglo-European backgrounds, drawn from commercial sources typically used by marketing and data-harvesting firms.
training videos produced by users show the extent to which evangelical groups are using sophisticated ways to target non-Christian communities, with questionable safeguards around security and privacy.
In one instance, he points to the sharable note-taking function and suggests leaving information for each household, such as “Daughter left for college” and “Mother is in the hospital.”
increasingly popular among Christian supremacist groups, prayerwalking calls on believers to wage “violent prayer” (persistently and aggressively channeling emotions of hatred and anger against Satan), engage in “spiritual mapping” (identifying areas where evil is at work, such as the darkness ruling over an abortion clinic, or the “spirit of greed” ruling over Las Vegas), and conduct prayerwalking (roaming the streets in groups, “praying on-site with insight”).
newly arrived refugees might well find a knock on the door from strangers with knowledge of their personal circumstances distressing—and that’s before these surprise visitors even begin to attempt to convert them.
placing people of different ethnic and religious backgrounds on easy-to-access databases is a dangerous road to go down
I’m pretty sure religious groups think every other group is as focused and dedicated to conversation as they are.
If they were left alone in a room with a child (or anyone really), their immediate action would be to determine how Christian the child is, test and ensure their faith is all consuming, or immediately begin the conversion process if they aren’t already their personal brand of Christian.
They assume this is absolutely normal, expected behaviour. so any group that is different from them, must be doing the exact same thing, but with other idealogies.
Like how they hate Islam and Sharia law while endorsing 99% of Sharia law practices under a different name. Or they think every gay person has a gay agenda and needs to make every child gay because religion knows children are the easiest to manipulate.
They are obsessed with someone else being a groomer while being the most organized and dedicated groomers on the planet.
Bruh, the Bible says if you even think a family member is considering any other option than Christianity, it’s you’re duty to stop them, even if it means killing them.
Blood is thicker than water.
Is a biblical phrase, the full thing is:
The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb.
It means you’re supposed to put any other Christian, and Christianity as a whole, over family.
Up to and including pulling an Abraham and murdering family members for not believing exactly the same shit.
Where, exactly, in the Bible does it say that?
A bunch of places…
Your quote never appears anywhere in any of those citations.
That the Bible–a collection of religious texts, many of them advancing directly or indirectly the ethnic and national interests of their authors’ people groups–would have stuff in it about killing people for lots of reasons is no surprise.
But your purported origin of the common proverb in the Bible is a fabrication. It’s not in there, anywhere.
Also Christianity doesn’t advocate killing non-believers as a matter of doctrine. Plenty of Christians have done that historically, but it’s not a teaching of the religion, and it’s never advocated in the Bible, anywhere.
There’s plenty to criticize Christians for. I don’t understand why you felt you needed to make something up.
What quote?
The blood/water one?
You know you get better answers with clear questions, right?
Otherwise this happens where no on has any idea what you’re talking about and just trying to guess what you mean.
It’s rarely as productive as just being specific in the first place
Answer the question. You specifically stated “it’s in the bible”. It was obvious to me, reading this thread, what exactly they meant. Please show us the location of the quote.
Why would you see that for a full day no one had clarified what they asked for…
And then demand I answer it without still saying what you think theyre asking for?
I don’t know if you’re trolling or honestly dont see the issue, but it really doesn’t matter.
Because when you act like that tacking on a “please” doesn’t count as being polite.
