Bryan Fischer of the AFA: Letting house burn down was the Christian thing to do

[ck4829]

The fire department did the right and Christian thing. The right thing, by the way, is also the Christian thing, because there can be no difference between the two. The right thing to do will always be the Christian thing to do, and the Christian thing to do will always be the right thing to do.

If I somehow think the right thing to do is not the Christian thing to do, then I am either confused about what is right or confused about Christianity, or both.

In this case, critics of the fire department are confused both about right and wrong and about Christianity. And it is because they have fallen prey to a weakened, feminized version of Christianity that is only about softer virtues such as compassion and not in any part about the muscular Christian virtues of individual responsibility and accountability.

This story illustrates the fundamental difference between a sappy, secularist worldview, which unfortunately too many Christians have adopted, and the mature, robust Judeo-Christian worldview which made America the strongest and most prosperous nation in the world. The secularist wants to excuse and even reward irresponsibility, which eventually makes everybody less safe and less prosperous. A Christian worldview rewards responsibility and stresses individual responsibility and accountability, which in the end makes everybody more safe and more prosperous.

LACK OF JOB SECURITY is FREEDOM!

And now...

HOMELESSNESS is SAFETY AND PROSPERITY!

Any other 1984esque slogans the teabagging right want to adopt?

1. Lord, keep me from beating the crap out of your crazy holier-than-thou followers.

[FiveGoodMen]

13. I think we'd be better off with...

Lord, please keep watching eyes away WHILE we beat the crap out of your crazy holier-than-thou followers.

They'll never give up.

This is a cold war (cold for now).

2. Interesting how those very same people who condemn "welfare" and freeloaders, are quite willing to

be among them when it comes to their own responsibilities.

3. wha???????????

thank God I'm an atheist then

I can think of several friends, who are atheist, agnostic, and pagan and not one of them would have let that house burn

21. the homeowner might have shot you for trespassing on his property.

Then you would not have saved his house, so what did you gain?

6. So Jesus would just tell the man too bad???

:rofl: People are absofuckingloutely insane. Spin it it to fit what their greedy hearts want. Fuck the right and the "christians" they rode in on! :mad:

7. I'll bet if I wanted to take the time

that I could come up with a scenario and a right action for that scenario which Mr. Fischer would agree was right, but which I could then show him in the Bible was un-Christian.

[calimary]

12. Hey, their whole movement is NOTHING more than a wholesale public search for

justification for plain ol' selfishness and greed. See, now they have all these high-fallutin' new terms for it, and new PR presentations and slogans and talking points and lots of funding from rapacious pirate entities like "freedomworks" and other bullshit groups that hide under the flag and the true teachings of Christ. I know Jesus said not to judge - but it's hard not to with these selfish IGMFU assholes! IGMFU = I Got Mine, F-U.

Funny, I went through 14 years of Catholic school and I don't remember seeing ANY endorsement of IGMFU in the Sermon on the Mount, especially the Beatitudes, or in ANY other parables or messages cited as being taught by Our Lord. The rich, camels, and the eyes of needles and all that.

18. I call them a Sociopath Movement! n/t

8. now there's some stupid gibberish. At least we can all agree on that.

[RandomThoughts]

9. Sounds like the Christian Reconstruction group.

There was a Machiavellian attempt to change what Christianity means to many people, by focusing on what some people want it to mean for their benefit.

10. By robust, he means, xenophoic, wasteful and violent...

people like him are too stupid to be believed.

[RKP5637]

11. I left ALL religion decades and decades ago, never looked back and better for it... n/t

[rhett o rick]

15. Here, here. nm

[davidinalameda]

14. I'm speechless

letting someone's house burn down is the Christian thing to do?

wow

I just can't wrap my mind around that one

[DirkGently]

16. Christians said something crazy, but "sappy" secularism is the problem? Creative.

[reggie the dog]

17. yet another reason for this athiest to hate christians

people should take their religions and shove them up their asses. it is not normal to put out a fire due to 75 dollars if we want to get into heaven? why in the fuck would i want to live in a "heaven" run by such an asshole of a god anyways???? heaven where no one helps others??? i would rather try my luck unionizing all the good folks in hell but the whole heaven and hell bit is just bullshit anyways, when we die we rot.

[RKP5637]

19. +1000 +++ n/t

[Lyric]

20. And this is why I firmly believe that the people who run groups like the AFA and FotF are actually

misanthropic atheists. Anybody who truly BELIEVED that he or she would have to face God and account for themselves someday would NOT be promoting this kind of sick selfishness. There's no way they can truly believe.
