factory-of-fuzz said about Donald Trump: Funnily enough, the ideal situation described in the (Christian) bible is absolute militant celibacy. Marriage is viewed as the easy and compromised way out. Also, Catholic Churches performed gay marriages for the first two centuries AD.

HHHH

Well, there’s nothing about true Christianity that is militant. Paul said that celibacy was the preference, but unattainable for most, thus marriage. The compromise can be found in scripture itself. The Shakers, a Christian sect, actually lived a celibate, communal life. Strangely, they died out haha. No such compromise with violence or war is found in the New Testament. The only way a Christian can go to war, ever, is if he turns his back on the teaching of his lord and savior.

Obviously, most Christians are incredibly shitty at it. Also, kudos on knowing about Boswell’s work. I’m impressed!
