Liberal Christians on Biblical Morality in politics
0 ups, 6d
I don't hear conservative Christians taking "judge not" out of context at least. It means to judge matters only if you have the sight/knowledge to do so. Not, "don't say anyone's behavior is wrong because you might hurt someone's feelings, and then people will get back at you by hurting yours", as liberal Christians seem to think it means. When Jesus says, "first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye"(Matthew 7:5) he is saying there is a time to judge, and that is when you actually see a situation more clearly than the other person in objective reality, not just because you feel you are the expert on everything. To do that, people need to seek the truth, not "their truth." Liberal Christians tend to interpret the bible based on their feelings and contemporary culture rather than reading it and looking how scripture interprets itself. It's based on comparing the whole bible with itself, not just a few verses out of context. If they bothered to read even up to Matthew 15:14 and tried connecting it with, "If the blind lead the blind, both will fall into a pit,” they might have understood that it means make sure you see a matter clearly before you giving someone guidance.

Not because I copied someone's opinions, but because these things are almost universally obvious to everyone except a few like you. I watched the first sequel movie. I know how they treated Han, and the force wasn't how the force worked, even in the first sequel. As for not seeing the other two, I have seen Luke standing over Kylo about to off him, and since Palpatine returned that obviously invalidates Vader's sacrifice. It's not difficult to figure this out.

The previous movies can't exist in the same universe as pre-Disney Star Wars. In pre-Disney even the chosen one needs training to learn how to use the force like every Jedi and Sith needs to do anything advanced. Wisdom gained through learning from other force users, and experience with the force, over years. The light switch to advanced powers the instant Rey learned the Jedi aren't a myth cannot exist in the same universe, and it breaks any illusion of a consistent world.

If they were going to have legacy character to get butts in seats, the last thing anyone who came to see those characters wanted was character assassinating them, and offing them. Passing of the torch can work, but it never works like that. That wasn't the real Han, Luke, or Leah even. They undid Han's redemption arc and offed him. Luke who saw the good in Darth Vader suddenly tries to off Kylo because of a dream. With "somehow Palpatine returned" they also wrecked Anakin's character arc that goes through all non-Disney Star Wars movies, and invalidated his sacrifice.

It's not just my taste. They made objectively bad decisions that the majority of moviegoers wouldn't like, and didn't follow basic world continuity rules. Disney buys up ips they don't understand, and thinks having what are said to be the characters, and looking like the thing, is what matters, not staying consistent with the story's themes and values, or the classic characters actually acting like themselves. That's why most reboots, and remakes are trash.

You: From my perspective the fans are evil!

Me: Then you truly are lost.

Right, I was already better all along. :) I wasn't arguing about whether they're "evil", but it's a fact that they have destroyed franchises. I would know better than to ruin children's dreams like that.
