Why do Liberals despise the word....

[OldSkoolball#52]

But they can be so easily controlled with the word











What's the difference?

[Dresta]

It is the same as when they deplore the absolutism of using the word 'evil' to describe certain things, yet when some manipulator uses the term 'lesser evil' their panties get all wet at the thought.

Really, it is because most humans need something to bow down to and believe in dogmatically. Thus when traditional faith was rejected, people in their hopeless despair moved to faith in Marxism, then when that proved a massive failure, they moved to more or less the same faith in democratic socialism, and sought to cancel out the negative connotations socialism had garnered by calling it liberalism (when liberalism was actually what these people deplored and wanted to replace).

No wonder they are so reluctant to admit they are wrong, and so quick to blame everyone else when their schemes fail, because where will they go next?

I wasn't aware that liberals have an issue with the word "faith." They may have a problem with the word "Religion" though.

Ohhhh there are TONS of "campus culture" liberals who love to decry the word faith as nothing more than a synonym for gullible. At least as it pertains to religious people.


Wait, I take that back. As it pertains to Christians. They dont dare mock Jews, Muslims, Hindus.

Only Christians.

Never heard the term "campus culture" before. Does it essentially mean college liberals?

As for the 2nd part, I think the 'attack' (used as a summary of my assumption of what you are getting at) of liberals on Christians is mostly geared towards Christians who use their faith as a justification politically to oppress people. This is why you don't see many 'attacks' on on Jews, Muslims, Hindus, etc, because those groups are minorities in the United States, and therefore don't have as much power in the political system to oppress other groups (namely the LGBT community). However, on a more individual basis, when you see Jews, Muslims, Hindus, etc using their faith as justification to disapprove of the LGBT population, you will quickly see liberals battle them for using their faith against people.

Yes, the whole "Zomg ive like, figured out the world you guys! Theres people suffering so we just need to like, give them money. Well not my money, but like the corporations! I just found out how much CEOs make, im so outrageddd!!!! My philosophy teacher says we're all just a bunch of little eichmans. And economics professor says.... well I havent actually taken economics yet. But we have to make it so everyone gets equal, and the stupid republicans can just shut up about personal responsibility arrrghfhghg"


Theyre a somewhat different group than other Democratic voters, who may be middle aged, church going family guys who vote Blue because theyre in a union or for whatever reason.


But campus culture libs are all about their new found discovery of entry level philosophy and existentialism and they love to ridicule the bible and christianity and anything 'establishment'

College liberals can go somewhat overboard before having a strong grasp of things, but it is just as bad on the other side with young Conservatives speaking up about crap they have no idea about.

What's the difference?

Because faith is believing something is true without evidence, while hope is merely the desire that something will become true while recognizing that it might not. One is an assertion while the other is wishful. Any other problems with the English language I can help you with?

[PickernRoller]

Hope is just as illusive as faith?

Born and raised atheist. Although I guess my parents had hope and faith in me when little. I remember been forced to endure the torture of a perverted old man in white robes.

Nikka poured water over my head when I was months old and I remember myself crying and sh1t. I was defenseless and hopeless throughout the whole act. My mom still got the pics in my childhood album. I was "baptized" they said. I guess that's why I never grew fond of the word faith.

That is because liberals have been indotrinated to hate everything that is conservative and vice versa.

There are 2 forms of indoctrination in this country: Liberalism and Conservatism.

If you are an active member of society, you will be one or the other. It is systematic; for liberalism, the indocrination occurs in education. For conservatism, it is in the church.

Both ideologies are set up to be antithetical towards one or the other.

This is done on purpose.

The idea is to create a conflict of ideology between those in the lower class (lower class by definition means your worth is less than a billion dollars).

If people in the lower class were united, then their focus would not be on the 2 party system, but rather on the disparity between the rich and poor.

And that's how revolution starts. It is in the best interest of those in power to keep the 2 party system alive so the poor can keep on fighting each other.

Hope

A feeling of expectation and desire for a certain thing to happen.

Sounds like faith to me. It is all semantics; you can argue until the cows come home, but it is not by coincidence the word faith is a synonym for hope.
