That's the same guy, fella, the one you chose to worship instead of following Jesus and the Jews that followed him.
"Graeystone
Here's a difference, if not the main difference-
A firm believer in Jesus Christ will stand up to such evil even if it kills them because they have the faith that no matter what Jesus will be there to welcome them home.
A firm believer in Leftism won't stand up to such evil even if it kills them because their belief in the afterlife tends to be the nothingness of atheism."
A firm believer in Jesus or anything will stand up to such evil because standing up to it is the right thing to do, regardless of the cost to yourself. That's why you fear (true) Leftists. The ones who would put themselves on the line for a cause, while you seek comfort in plastic cross trinkets and a cookie at the end of the tunnel to munch on for an eternity.
That's a hypothalamus generated mindset, the basic one we're born with, to do what you do in exchange for reward.
Next level when reaching towards maturity is to do something because it is the law.
Final level for those who develop that far is to do what they do because it is right, and take responsibility for themselves and make amends if possible should what they do turns out to be wrong.
You need faith to fool yourself into believing fairy tales that you really don't believe in anyways, as witnessed by the way you live and how you treat others in contrast to what you claim to preach.
Belief is irrelevant. Faith is irrelevant. If there is a Divinity, it simply is. It does not depend on how many likes it gets on Facebook to determine whether or not it exists. Anyone who claims to be of a faith, is not.
You don't need to accept air to breathe it, you don't need to believe in it to not suffocate. Air is air regardless what the puny humans think they think about it, let alone think they can give it permission to be reality. You think God needs your permission to be. That's because you want to lord over God. You're so-called understanding of God is to equate it with a treat if you're a nice lad.
