RE: The Allegory
Within the context of the allegory, it speaks to redemption by Jesus. Within a discussion of the mainstream, it probably speaks to how the mainstream sucks and it’s better to be a hipster brooding in the corner by yourself. No? — Herb
Yes and no. Yes in the first two sentences. No to everything after “….and it’s better….”
After all. I’m hardly what any reasonably prudent individual would call ‘brooding in the corner by myself’.
The mainstream flows right or left depending on the moment, but nevertheless that’s where most people are by definition. — Herb
As I commented, if all those people were jumping off a cliff, i.e., doing something that means death, would you join them? I suspect you would. After all. All those people can’t be wrong. Right?
On the other hand, maybe they are. And if you join them, unthinkingly because they are the majority…..
It all boils down to your world-view. And part and parcel of that is what is the basis for your moral and ethical code of conduct.
RE: That Non Sequitur Question
Also, I enjoy your amusing non sequiturs, like “Has the Christ come in the flesh?” That’s the kind of question you can ponder all day and never come close to answering. — Herb
Real Christians know better than that.
You apparently haven’t studied your enemy very much. Otherwise, you’d understand the question and my rejection of the alleged answer provided by neoneo.
He’s being evasive. He knows it. And he knows why he’s doing it. Christians who understand the reason for the question will recognize his evasions for what they are.
