I remember vividly the moment that really began my transformation into a conservative. It was a CZcams video about a third gender, how it's real and totally cool. It really made go "what is even going on, how is this real?"
For me it was also a CZcams video, it was something by Brett Cooper. I dont know what she was saying, something about pronouns or gender "identity". She convinced me that leftism is a religion.
I sort of understand people that prefer "they" although if they won't murder me if I use m/f pronouns to describe them I'll use those instead. I flat out refuse to use "neo" pronouns when talking to others. You can't just make up a word you want to be referred to with that only you and like 3 other people use- that defeats the purpose of pronouns being generalized nouns.
@@headphonesaxolotl If you want me to call you "they", so be it. I will do that just for you. If you are asking me to refer to you as octopusself or whatever the absolute frick that is then you will have to suck it.
What really made me start questioning my leftism was the whole abortion debate happening over here in Poland and it was long before I had any doubts about my Atheism. The whole narrative that "humanity starts after X week after conception" was really bugging me bc it made no logical sense to me. A human fetus is a human fetus, not a dolphin or a monkey. It's a developing human person that, unless there are complications, will be born, grow up and live a whole life just like you and me. Killing a fetus is taking away all that potential. I understand there are cases where it may be a necessary evil, but pretending it's not an evil thing and even worse treating it casually like another form of anticonception, made me feel sick. From there I started questioning a lot of other things, and as soon as I started digging and asking, I started realizing that a lot of it came down to a mix of self loathing and superiority complex. I wanted no part of it so I abandoned it. I didn't know what to do with myself, I felt alone and lost. I knew I didn't want to turn to the far right bc I saw a lot of the same dirt there. Then CZcams started recommending me a lot of videos about theology and philosophy. Stuff like analysis of Thomas Aquinas, St. Augustine, Plato, Aristotle, Nietzsche, including your videos about different denominations, arguments for God, the KingdomCraft series, etc. And suddenly another part of my identity, one that I held onto since I was a little kid, started to crack. For the first time in my life I've had serious doubts about my Atheism. For the first time I started seriously asking myself if I reasoned my way into Atheism or did I stumble into it through my own shortcomings, and the answer I got at the end of that questioning was that it was my own lack of understanding that got me to it. I became an Atheist on basis of logic and science I did not really understand to distance myself from what was truly paining me. The state of the Roman Catholic Church here in Poland, the corruption, its possition as this calcified institution, the horrible things done without remorse and guilt by the self proclaimed believers and ordaned priests, was what turned me atheist. My child mind could not reconcile the faith with all those issues and looking for an answer to it stumbled onto the rejection of both on the grounds of the failings of one. "Knives are used by murderers hence the manufacturers of knives are guilty" I recently went back and started reading the Bible again and what I've found is a profound wealth of wisdom that has clear and genuinely logical answers to so many of the questions I had. I started listening to audiobooks of philosophers like Plato and Saint Augustine and it hit me. I finally understood what was trully missing in my life all this time. Why I wasn't "sad" but also not happy, why I felt so hollow, as if there was a deep void in my chest that, why despite having a loving family and a safe home I felt so lonely and depressed. What I've been missing that whole time, what I needed in my life, what made me feel whole for the first time since I can remember, was faith. And not just any faith, but a true faith. One that was not merely conjured up by man to pacify the populace, not gods of the gaps, not neo-pagan "spiritualism", none of that, but a genuine divine revelation. I found that in the Gospel, I found that in Christ. For the first time since I can remember I am happy. I am at peace, knowing with all my heart and mind that Christ is King, that He is God made flesh, that He died for our sins and that it is by this, by the Grace of God alone that we are saved. I am still far too early in my journey to call myself anything more specific than just broadly "Protestant"- too many evils I've seen in the Catholic Church are the direct result of it's system of governance for me to accept it and any denomination that follows a simmilar structure like the Eastern Orthodox or Anglican Churches...
The Catholic Church as an institution wasn’t and isn’t that bad as you were probably brainwashed by the left to think. I am Eastern Orthodox and I believe a strong church is vital for christianity. Also we are not saved by the grace of God and faith alone. Faith without deeds is dead, even Jesus said something like “Not everyone who comes at me saying Lord, Lord,… will inherit the kingdom of heaven”. We Eastern Orthodox didn’t change any tradition and our denomination is almost if not identical with early Christianity. I visited many types of Churches, and the Catholic and Protestant ones feel empty, while the Orthodox ones feel warm and welcoming because the Holy Spirit is way more present here. Atheists who have went to the most sacred place of Orthodoxy, Mt Athos have witnessed many miracles done by some of the monks there and most of them came from there completely changed.
Wonderful testimony thanks for putting in the time to put it in writing. That you know the Lord as your sole hope and that your salvation is his work not your own means you've got all the important stuff down already. I wouldn't agonize too much over which denomination to pick, just keep your nose in the Word and live it out, you'll find a church you mesh with.
Idk why people think we have be liberal or conservative. We all have liberal and conservative beliefs. They work together, why America is a Democracy Republic. The problem is extreme of both sides scaring people to think they representing the side as a whole. Like believing that one guy in your school who caused problems with teachers. Than the teacher punished everyone saying you’re all bad students.
"My conversion from leftist to christian." No, no, you're right. That is exactly what happened. It is very difficult and requires a great deal of scripture twisting to support most things the modern left stands for. Now, only God knows who is truly closest to the spirit of Christ, but if we're talking from a fruit perspective it's usually pretty hard to see any good fruit from the left.
I hear this a lot. "we don't know their heart, so we can't know anything" or something like that. Um, yes. Yes, we can know. We can recognize that fascism and communism are evil and that the people perpetuating those ideologies are serving evil. No human is inherently evil, ofc. God's creation is good. But it is about the question: "Whom do you serve?" Christianity is the religion of love and of life. Leftism and its ilk are the religions of death. If someone isn't following the principles of Christianity, that's not a difference of opinion. Christianity is a specific thing and there are things that it cannot be.
I like you a lot dude. I’m 33, married with children, and an atheist democrat, but that doesn’t mean I’m down with a lot of what “the left” is about these days. You speak your mind, you’re an idealist (meaning always striving to live up to a standard, and you think we all have a duty to do so), a critical thinker. And I believe you’re committed to the truth above all else, beyond religion and politics. We need more of conviction in this world. It seems that whatever you’re into at the time, you’re gonna go hard at it. I’m sorry your “friends” were assholes. Been watching for a while. Keep doing what you’re doing!
@@EternityUnknown I believe in a natural order of sorts. I believe that we are continuously reaping and sowing, whether we realize it or not. Our actions of body, speech, and mind matter. I believe the best way to live is to learn, and understand the order -some of our actions bring us pain, and some bring happiness. The human condition is such that we are always confused, and our actions are rooted in this confusion. I believe we can work to be see better, and cut through our delusions.
@@johnzapata2837 I appreciate the well-thought response. I'd like to hear more, if you grant me your time. Elaborate on what you mean by "natural order". Is this order objective and unchanging? Is it merely a product of chaos? When you mention pain and happiness, I think of the pleasure principle. Do you advocate for this principle? At the end, you appear to be attributing purpose in the search of truth. If not for the pleasure principle, what purpose does truth serve? If for the pleasure principle, how do we serve both the natural order and our sources of happiness - unless they are the same.
Gramci made an argument in the Italian parliament in a debate with Mussolini and his point was “left wing violence is for the people, therefore it’s good. While fascist violence is not for the people, therefore bad.”
Amazing that someone would say something as brainless as that with a straight face. But it shows their thinking, which is; "there are no wrong tactics, only wrong targets."
Just because normal people are violent doesnt make them right. Thats not hard to rationalize once you get rid of your leftist presupposition. @kheylemiquekheylemique3247
As bad as it sounds, I always wear a dark colored hoodie, some variation of cargo pants and one specific pair of sneakers when I go to church. Guess my denomination 😂.
Both sides censor language, but honestly it's hard to agree that liberals do it "more." When it comes to actual book burning, and legislating what you can and can't say, it's usually conservatives doing it. Even if the gender and gay stuff is disagreeable you can't just ban every book that talks about it. You can't ban burning the American flag either.
@@tammas1728I know everyone makes this argument, but many religious texts contain nudity. Not that that is a bad thing, when the nudity in question pertains to some sort of lesson or something important comes out of it. I’ve read a few of the most popular LGBT books, and they all seem pretty tame. Little to no nudity, the occasional mention of something sexually explicit but very very rarely any detail at all, and generally literature very clearly trying to foster a healthy environment. the few sexually explicit books I have read do not justify the large amount of books that are being banned today in public schools.
@@robonthecob6920 Talking about sexual orientation is already a sexual statement when directed to children. And of course you are completely omitting 2016-2024's political scene when it comes to the Covington Catholic's kids or the fake indigenous mass graves in Canada that caused the vandalization of 85 Catholic Churches.
@@robonthecob6920 it literally is sexual content to describe homoSEXUALITY. What are you smoking?.. And the books he mentioned are literal p0rn books in elementary schools. Taking p0rn out of schools isnt nearly the same thing as censorship. The states arent even banning p0rn, just trying to say "dont let CHILDREN have access to it". Or is preventing a child from watching p0rn deemed censorship now?..🤦♂️
I converted to Christianity at 23, but I questioned leftism at 15. I think that seeing the clear difference between Socialist countries and Capitalist countries had a profound impact on me. So I was interested in “Libertarianism”, later I read JBP (which was a big part of the journey) but after being disillusioned by how Atheism is just destructive for society and the individual due to moral relativism, eventually, I was baptized in the Holy Land during the last Easter vigil
I used to be way more into conservative politics (Ben Shapiro, Jordan Peterson, etc.) before I got serious about my faith. Just a total shift in priorities
@@Apifie I don’t really know what you mean. He is one of the largest conservative political thinkers on the internet and he runs a podcast where he frequently discusses politics and is a member of the Daily Wire, a conservative news/media platform. He also describes himself as a conservative frequently.
@@Apifie I guess sorta on the psychologist part, though he doesn’t really do much psychology anymore for obvious reasons, but I can see why you’d say that. I’m sussing out the Christian part of that though. If you can’t answer basic questions about the factuality of the the faith without spinning then around like “well you don’t mean what you think you mean when you ask that” and put more emphasis on political and moral action than the literal gospel then I think there is good reason to question whether or not you are a Christian (not you, just to be clear, I mean him). I mean, idk his heart for sure, but I don’t see anything other than him wanting to use Christianity as a justification and fuel for his moral positions and “psychology truths”
I had a similar thing happen except I was in Grad school and it wasn’t the LGBT issues people betrayed me over. One of my friends/mentors tried to cancel me and call me racist against Latinos, even though I am half-Latino myself 🙄 I’m certainly not a leftist, but I don’t think of myself as particularly conservative either though. I think I’m more apolitical than anything.
Independent is where it's at. Liberals and conservatives are two sides of the same coin especially when it comes to looking at both sides as a black man
Which independent? I’m a conservative in the sense that I want to conserve the foundations of the Constitution and Christianity in this country. I’m still independent in my voting. I would vote for Donald, but half the Republicans are just as bad as liberals. The thing is there isn’t a single liberal I would vote for lol.
Funny. Looking at it as a white man (and I'm not saying this as a person who "happens to be white," but as a racially conscious white man) led me to the same conclusion. This country/empire works for a very small subset of people. You can figure out who that is by paying attention to what the political elite agree on, and who their donors are.
I am always amused how leftists can call someone intolerant for disagreeing with something. The very definition of tolerance is being permissive of something one disagrees with. To tolerate something implies disagreement with it.
My only criticism of this is that there are level headed liberals out there who don't fetishize social justice or wokeness. But yeah, the ones who are woke definitely worship social justice. I would say its the exact same fallacy that the Jim Jones cult made. Jim Jones rejected the gospel and wanted to worship social justice, and it turn wanted his follower to worship him.
I thought that the "woke mind virus" was just a bunch of right-wing fearmongering until I saw the pro-Palestine protests. This was when I realized that the "radical left" was not just a conservative boogeyman but a very real and very threatening phenomenon, perhaps even more threatening than the far right where I live.
Politically I went from "Both sides have good ideas", to Obama Liberal, to Bernie Sanders Social Democrat/Democratic Socialist, to USSR Conservative Socialist, (then became Christian because of "What is a Woman" & Termites) to Conservative, to Traditionalist Monarchist. Denominationally I went from IFB/SBC, to Freewill Baptist, to Inquiring, to Anglican.
@DrGero15 Hmm, I wouldn't call it strange just interesting! IFB is an offshoot in an already offshoot part of Protestantism, and then the jump to Anglican which is basically half-Catholic sort of? It depends tho
@@user-jy6hd9uw8h What makes you say Anglicanism is half Catholic? I am entirely catholic, just not Roman. It is probably because of the things I choose to research that I skipped Presbyterian/Methodist and went to the root. Coming out of a deep IFB background, I would say large parts of the IFB are outside the faith and more of a folk-Christian cult.
Why did you become a traditionalist monarchist? I’m a monarchist as well. I became one due to being disillusioned with the political situation in the United States.
I’m m Catholic and I liked redeamed zoomer a lot he was fair even with disagreements I liked him as a fellow believer in Christ but i am saddened by his talk with Need God episode, need God saud were no better than Mormons and Catholics are worked based it’s sad because we are not works based and never have been , we are saved by Jesus thru grace and the sacraments give us more grace, I don’t know what happened but it’s saddening. I hope he knows we are Christian even Gavin Ortland says we are Christian
@@annb9029 Just had a look at that. RZ was not saying that Roman Catholicism is works-based. He was just saying that the logical conclusion of Roman Catholicism is a religion that is works-based. It's similar to how Trent Horn says that "Protestants argue like atheists". He's not saying that Protestants are literally atheists, he's saying that atheism is the logical conclusion of Protestant arguments.
I felt he did not push back on need god , not even for his Presbyterian belief's, I wish he hit harder on baptism, he did a little bit but then stopped, need god totally ignored the people with special needs comments Zoomer made , I feel Need God gets away with always making others defend and he never has to do the same and that ticks me off , I think he throws people off by his soft spokenness you think he answered but really he just deflected back to you , at the end I felt need god was like yep my way is the best with his soft spoken way you don’t catch what he did , even that baptism is nothing important and then zoomer was agreeing. Ps I’m not giving zoomer a pass on this one he was not kind to Catholics in this one , when need god said were liked Mormons that should of been a red flag about need God and that he thinks like Ray comfort, need god doesn’t think we should be Protestant because they have the fullness of truth , but still thinks Catholics are Christian like Gaven Ortland does , need god thinks Catholics are not Christian no different than morman and that kind of talk makes me upset. He gets away with saying things in his soft voice that others would not I’m not at fan of him nor Ray Comfort (I use to like Ray but then I seen thru his nice guy camouflage) they seam like nice guys but they are sheep in wolves clothing. I will give zoomer a chance but if his videos become Catholics are not even Christian I’m out , I’m good with denominations having discussions and disagreements on doctrine but not saying we’re not Christian I’m done , we need more dialogue as Christians not need god or Ray comfort word salad crap
Ok I have the term that need god is , a southern person that says bless your heart it sounds nice and sweet but it really saying your a moron that’s need gods speak
@@annb9029 how do Catholics explain Jesus and the disciples drinking blood at the Last Supper in violation of Leviticus 17:10? Wouldn’t that mean Jesus sinned and He couldn’t be our perfect sacrifice on the cross anymore?
Thank you so much redeemed zoomer, helped me understand very much things that puzzled me and also helped me win some debates with a bit of your knowledge so thank you so much👍🏻✝️❤️
This video would benefit from a preamble with definitions. Most of the “conservatism” here is about being anti-LGBT and views on sexuality. Granted there’s a bit about criticism of post-modern philosophy and a bit of traditional theology. But how that fits on the left - right / conservative - progressive scale is, in my opinion incomplete at best.
Christmas (Yule) and Easter (Ostara) are both traditional European holidays, they were not practiced in the Middle East 2000 years ago. Though Christians did adopt those days. But anyone who attacks those holidays is attacking European Christian heritage.
I'm a liberal, but when liberals actually stand up for liberal values (mainly those pertaining to issues outside the west) we're somehow seen as Conservative. A good example is supporting Israel and promoting women's rights in the Middle East and freedom to leave religion -- namely Islam.
I consider myself to be a born again Christian. I was baptized at a Christian camp in the mountains in the pool that they had there. I was a part of the youth group at the time of my baptism. At the time i was in my late teens at the time of the baptism. I'm 22 now. I am a part of the young adults group now but i haven't been back to church because of health problems. I would appreciate any prayer from any Christian regardless of denomination! Thank you for making this video. I am conservative as well!
Sir, you are an honest and true man. You confess your weaknesses at every moment of your life which takes guts to be honest and very rare. God bless you and greetings from the oriental orthodox church.
25:39 Yea, but in Orthodoxy the term “liberalism” means something completely different from what you would call liberalism in Protestantism. While Protestants associate liberalism with affirming gay marriages, women for pastors, social justice and whatever else there is, in the Orthodox Church those who want to change the calendar and the liturgical language and embrace contact (not necessarily prayer) with non-Orthodox Christians are considered liberals.
4:39 I’m a senior in high school now, and long before i became a Christian, the first things that made me become conservative were those same videos in the same years😭😭😂
I'm in a similar boat. I'm probably 10 years older than you, but I was a leftist and feminist in the early 2010's. I find myself being pushed further and further right. The speed that radical gender identity politics is spreading among young people is terrifying. Something needs to be done.
There's a lot up in the air here. Christianity and Conservative aren't really the same, and not all people actually care about what it should really mean to be either or both. I don't like many republicans/politicians and I would say I'm conservative leaning on most moral issues. A) Get them to understand that truth is important B)Convince them that people can't be different genders or species, but it's ok to pretend in the proper settings. The main reason leftists accept that behavior is because they see it as non-conformist practices that upset general societal norms. C) Tell them honest conversation and dialogue are the ways you bridge gaps. Focus on similarities, not differences. D) Find high quality contributors that you can expose them to that generally are very honest and charitable, that tend to steelman instead of strawman opposing views. Like, I don't agree with Zoomer on his Reformed beliefs and tendency toward certain traditionally Christian practices, but I appreciate his honesty and pursuit of truth and see theological/philosophical differences as minor in the scheme of things, so I'm willing to watch his content, even if I disagree with parts of it. E) Real Christians are a great bet for good people. Ones that embrace that we all sin but are willing to point it out and point out that we have a savior that cares for them. Culturally progressive churches are no good, they sacrifice what the word says because they are people focused first, not God. People focused is good, but it should be Godly and biblical first.
I love how he is so honest and even though I don’t personally agree with every theological statement but he he believes in the core values of Christ and is a Brother in Him, and he is very educated.
In the West we have seen truth made out to be a lie, the dishonorable elevated to powerful positions, courts practice injustice, the pure made polluted, the lovely made detestable, and the admirable persecuted. We have seen all of these things yet people still doubt Satan exists and even many churches preach tolerance and acceptance for the works of the Enemy in our culture.
@@timhartman3359I'm pretty sure he didn't unmake Satan because there has to be an opposition in our lives, an enemy to fight, a reason for our suffering

Insightful and hopeful
It’s possible for some liberals to be tolerant, although it might be rare. I’m a devout Catholic and my girlfriend is pretty analytically minded and is agnostic as a lot of those science types are and generally supports liberal ideas. She knows that I believe homosexuality is a sin but recognizes I still love gay people and she knows I think there’s only two genders and accepts I think this way. I think she’s a really unique person because although very skeptical of faith she always comes to church with me and has even agreed she’d like to raise our kids in the church if we got married and had them. She exhibits a lot of cardinal virtues and I hope she reverts back to Catholicism one day.
I was a freshman during the 2016 election I remember kids were literally crying and falling apart because they thought they were going to be deported and go back to slavery 🤣 (my freshman year I was at a school that was 80% Hispanic 20% black in Chicago)
Maybe it's because I went to schools in [a southern state]. But ten seconds in, no teacher at any of the schools I've attended have EVER talked about the "76 genders" or anything LGBT related. Not in elementary, middle, or high school.
I went to a rural school, and while there were a few kids that were transgender or non-binary (albeit they were very ostracized), we were taught very traditional beliefs, usually on the conservative side. We were definitely not taught about genders so progressively. Honestly, I doubt that more than 2% of schools have actual lessons about more than two genders.
You know, I support gay rights because the government has no business meddling behind closed bedroom doors; and if it weren't for separation of church and state then my religion (Orthodoxy) would be illegal. This Trans thing is the real culture-war flashpoint because they literally want to coerce all sane people into saying insane things.
Politically I'd be best described as classical liberal or Libertarian But I'm not anti government, but the ideal is self government with minor contract enforcement and right protection
A liberal is not a leftist, and Mr Zoomer you were never a "leftist", the position you found yourself in is rooted deeply in the right, in America it might be called Leftism but being anti-gun, being pro-abortion etc. is not inherit to the left. The right believe heavily in individual liberty which included reproductive freedom, etc. I as a Left-Catholic follow in the mindset of the late Dorothy Day, recognized by the Pope as one of the four great Americans and was a passionate Marxist. I hold firm that the teachings of Christ are not the same as the words of a mid century German economist, and I find it blasphemous when people call Christ, label Him as any political ideology as He is wholly defined within scripture. Anyway, you were never a leftist unless you believed that the working class should own the means of production and that "class" is the great divider. If you were a leftist you'd recognize that the social division between classes is our greatest tragedy, that no society can be righteous, can claim to do good, in the name of God, or anything else when one group of people are born into a higher tier of living. - Thanks' for you all your videos btw, it's just that American understanding of leftism is nothing more than fear mongering.
Can we all as a society recognize the difference between the economic left-right and progressive-conservatism, please? ~ A conservative socialist (who actually read the Marx stuff) For reference: The idea that the word "liberal" is associated with progressiveness and leftism would only have made sense about two centuries ago, when the liberal movement was your second option as opposed to an absolute monarch, but has never been associated with leftism (socialism(/communism)), since leftism/socialism(/communism) only came about as a reaction of the laborers to the liberal bourgeoisie. The idea that liberal and progressiveness are the same has to do with the fact that, for the people in the bourgeoisie, the Johns of our world, could gaim more freedom via the movement "liberalism", and by using the term to group both leftism and progressiveness, an entire category of people is left out: those who believe in more traditional social values ánd who believe that (for example) homelessness caused by the bourgeoisie exploiting workers is bad, and generally treating our poor better than we do now is a good thing. Thank you.
I will add that some of the points you made on "leftists" (progressive people/woke people/certain members of the LGBT community), especially how their whole idea of tolerance doesn't make sense are quite good, I'm just here to defend my fellow socialists.
Thank you for sharing your story. It goes to show that the path to enlightenment is a continuous effort and one mustn't slack off after reaching any given point. I see that I still have a long road ahead to get where you are now. God bless.
Yeah, his entire political shtick is deliberate ignorance of how gender works and blindly following the bible. It's obvious that he understands nothing about politics beyond culture war nonsense
"their arguments aren't really based on logic and reason...I was given a bunch of emotional arguments instead" Yes this!! I made so much progress evangelising leftists when I realized this. Apologetics arguments are practically useless. Now I speak first about the goodness of God - the depths of my joy and hope.
Even my heretical liberal New Testament professor said it saddens her that some professors make it their mission to destroy the faith of their students.
Big problem is that people do realize what a woman is, they just want to make you look bad by pushing you to lose your temper at them or make you look weak by conceding that you can't reason with them. It's totally a power play.
If anyone sees this, i am a Muslim apostate turn atheist for 10+ years, and I want to convert to Christianity, however I am lost as to which denomination to follow, seeing how I am from Syria, I was wondering if I should go with oriental orthodoxy or catholic, I am lost on that part and the last thing I want is to walk into a religion just to disrespect it I contacted a catholic priest who was a very inviting and kind person however again the last thing I want is to be wrong or disrespectful about the religion I want to follow, I am all ears to every advice and pointers thanks
Pick up a bible and start reading at the New Testament. That's more important than attending a church. After you've finished the New Testament and hopefully heard the gospel, then start seeking a church. I don't recommend orthordox nor catholic due to their soteriology, which is their teaching regarding salvation, because it's very misguided relative to many protestant churches (not all). If you really must go to a church, I suppose the baptist church might be a good start purely because they place a lot of emphasis on scripture.
Both Catholic and Oriental Orthodox are very good choices. While I'm Catholic myself and that's the denomination I would recommend, being OO is very cool for you since it's the original Church of your country.
"The holy land isn't Palestine its Ohio" as someone who went on a catholic retreat in Ohio I can confirm this is deffenitly where Moses was traveling. He took a wrong turn I think.

I think it's just a common slang. I do the same with the word bro, I've literally called children bro. It just comes out sometimes. For me it's not about the words, it's about the message.

I remember vividly the moment that really began my transformation into a conservative. It was a CZcams video about a third gender, how it's real and totally cool. It really made go "what is even going on, how is this real?"
For me it was also a CZcams video, it was something by Brett Cooper. I dont know what she was saying, something about pronouns or gender "identity". She convinced me that leftism is a religion.
Leftism is the lack of religion.@@MSKofAlexandria
I sort of understand people that prefer "they" although if they won't murder me if I use m/f pronouns to describe them I'll use those instead. I flat out refuse to use "neo" pronouns when talking to others. You can't just make up a word you want to be referred to with that only you and like 3 other people use- that defeats the purpose of pronouns being generalized nouns.
@@headphonesaxolotl If you want me to call you "they", so be it. I will do that just for you. If you are asking me to refer to you as octopusself or whatever the absolute frick that is then you will have to suck it.
@@MSKofAlexandria exactly my thoughts.
Although I still don't entirely understand people who want to be called that.
What really made me start questioning my leftism was the whole abortion debate happening over here in Poland and it was long before I had any doubts about my Atheism.
The whole narrative that "humanity starts after X week after conception" was really bugging me bc it made no logical sense to me. A human fetus is a human fetus, not a dolphin or a monkey.
It's a developing human person that, unless there are complications, will be born, grow up and live a whole life just like you and me. Killing a fetus is taking away all that potential.
I understand there are cases where it may be a necessary evil, but pretending it's not an evil thing and even worse treating it casually like another form of anticonception, made me feel sick.
From there I started questioning a lot of other things, and as soon as I started digging and asking, I started realizing that a lot of it came down to a mix of self loathing and superiority complex.
I wanted no part of it so I abandoned it. I didn't know what to do with myself, I felt alone and lost. I knew I didn't want to turn to the far right bc I saw a lot of the same dirt there.
Then CZcams started recommending me a lot of videos about theology and philosophy. Stuff like analysis of Thomas Aquinas, St. Augustine, Plato, Aristotle, Nietzsche, including your videos about different denominations, arguments for God, the KingdomCraft series, etc. And suddenly another part of my identity, one that I held onto since I was a little kid, started to crack.
For the first time in my life I've had serious doubts about my Atheism. For the first time I started seriously asking myself if I reasoned my way into Atheism or did I stumble into it through my own shortcomings, and the answer I got at the end of that questioning was that it was my own lack of understanding that got me to it. I became an Atheist on basis of logic and science I did not really understand to distance myself from what was truly paining me. The state of the Roman Catholic Church here in Poland, the corruption, its possition as this calcified institution, the horrible things done without remorse and guilt by the self proclaimed believers and ordaned priests, was what turned me atheist. My child mind could not reconcile the faith with all those issues and looking for an answer to it stumbled onto the rejection of both on the grounds of the failings of one. "Knives are used by murderers hence the manufacturers of knives are guilty"
I recently went back and started reading the Bible again and what I've found is a profound wealth of wisdom that has clear and genuinely logical answers to so many of the questions I had.
I started listening to audiobooks of philosophers like Plato and Saint Augustine and it hit me. I finally understood what was trully missing in my life all this time. Why I wasn't "sad" but also not happy, why I felt so hollow, as if there was a deep void in my chest that, why despite having a loving family and a safe home I felt so lonely and depressed. What I've been missing that whole time, what I needed in my life, what made me feel whole for the first time since I can remember, was faith. And not just any faith, but a true faith. One that was not merely conjured up by man to pacify the populace, not gods of the gaps, not neo-pagan "spiritualism", none of that, but a genuine divine revelation. I found that in the Gospel, I found that in Christ.
For the first time since I can remember I am happy. I am at peace, knowing with all my heart and mind that Christ is King, that He is God made flesh, that He died for our sins and that it is by this, by the Grace of God alone that we are saved. I am still far too early in my journey to call myself anything more specific than just broadly "Protestant"- too many evils I've seen in the Catholic Church are the direct result of it's system of governance for me to accept it and any denomination that follows a simmilar structure like the Eastern Orthodox or Anglican Churches...
That was a beautiful testimony, thank you for sharing.
"Give aid to the poor. Physically and spiritually."
We're all poor in some way...
The Catholic Church as an institution wasn’t and isn’t that bad as you were probably brainwashed by the left to think. I am Eastern Orthodox and I believe a strong church is vital for christianity. Also we are not saved by the grace of God and faith alone. Faith without deeds is dead, even Jesus said something like “Not everyone who comes at me saying Lord, Lord,… will inherit the kingdom of heaven”. We Eastern Orthodox didn’t change any tradition and our denomination is almost if not identical with early Christianity. I visited many types of Churches, and the Catholic and Protestant ones feel empty, while the Orthodox ones feel warm and welcoming because the Holy Spirit is way more present here. Atheists who have went to the most sacred place of Orthodoxy, Mt Athos have witnessed many miracles done by some of the monks there and most of them came from there completely changed.
Wonderful testimony thanks for putting in the time to put it in writing.
That you know the Lord as your sole hope and that your salvation is his work not your own means you've got all the important stuff down already. I wouldn't agonize too much over which denomination to pick, just keep your nose in the Word and live it out, you'll find a church you mesh with.
Praise God! So wonderful to have you as a family member in Christ

Idk why people think we have be liberal or conservative. We all have liberal and conservative beliefs. They work together, why America is a Democracy Republic. The problem is extreme of both sides scaring people to think they representing the side as a whole. Like believing that one guy in your school who caused problems with teachers. Than the teacher punished everyone saying you’re all bad students.

0:45 how baptist of you Mr.IHateBaptistMan
Haha yes
😂
Converting suddenly is not necessarily a Baptist thing.
"My conversion from leftist to christian." No, no, you're right. That is exactly what happened. It is very difficult and requires a great deal of scripture twisting to support most things the modern left stands for. Now, only God knows who is truly closest to the spirit of Christ, but if we're talking from a fruit perspective it's usually pretty hard to see any good fruit from the left.
I hear this a lot. "we don't know their heart, so we can't know anything" or something like that. Um, yes. Yes, we can know. We can recognize that fascism and communism are evil and that the people perpetuating those ideologies are serving evil. No human is inherently evil, ofc. God's creation is good. But it is about the question: "Whom do you serve?"
Christianity is the religion of love and of life. Leftism and its ilk are the religions of death. If someone isn't following the principles of Christianity, that's not a difference of opinion. Christianity is a specific thing and there are things that it cannot be.
I like you a lot dude. I’m 33, married with children, and an atheist democrat, but that doesn’t mean I’m down with a lot of what “the left” is about these days. You speak your mind, you’re an idealist (meaning always striving to live up to a standard, and you think we all have a duty to do so), a critical thinker. And I believe you’re committed to the truth above all else, beyond religion and politics. We need more of conviction in this world. It seems that whatever you’re into at the time, you’re gonna go hard at it. I’m sorry your “friends” were assholes. Been watching for a while. Keep doing what you’re doing!
Do you have a philosophy?
@@EternityUnknown I believe in a natural order of sorts. I believe that we are continuously reaping and sowing, whether we realize it or not. Our actions of body, speech, and mind matter. I believe the best way to live is to learn, and understand the order -some of our actions bring us pain, and some bring happiness. The human condition is such that we are always confused, and our actions are rooted in this confusion. I believe we can work to be see better, and cut through our delusions.
@@johnzapata2837 I appreciate the well-thought response. I'd like to hear more, if you grant me your time.
Elaborate on what you mean by "natural order". Is this order objective and unchanging? Is it merely a product of chaos?
When you mention pain and happiness, I think of the pleasure principle. Do you advocate for this principle?
At the end, you appear to be attributing purpose in the search of truth. If not for the pleasure principle, what purpose does truth serve? If for the pleasure principle, how do we serve both the natural order and our sources of happiness - unless they are the same.
Gramci made an argument in the Italian parliament in a debate with Mussolini and his point was “left wing violence is for the people, therefore it’s good. While fascist violence is not for the people, therefore bad.”
Ah yes, violence is bad except when it spreads your ideals.
Whats wrong with that ?
Amazing that someone would say something as brainless as that with a straight face. But it shows their thinking, which is; "there are no wrong tactics, only wrong targets."

Both sides censor language, but honestly it's hard to agree that liberals do it "more." When it comes to actual book burning, and legislating what you can and can't say, it's usually conservatives doing it. Even if the gender and gay stuff is disagreeable you can't just ban every book that talks about it. You can't ban burning the American flag either.
Most of what I heard pertaining to “banning” literature was when it is sexual content targeted toward children.
@@tammas1728 Sorry to break this to you but books that mention the existence of gays are not sexual content
@@tammas1728I know everyone makes this argument, but many religious texts contain nudity. Not that that is a bad thing, when the nudity in question pertains to some sort of lesson or something important comes out of it.
I’ve read a few of the most popular LGBT books, and they all seem pretty tame. Little to no nudity, the occasional mention of something sexually explicit but very very rarely any detail at all, and generally literature very clearly trying to foster a healthy environment. the few sexually explicit books I have read do not justify the large amount of books that are being banned today in public schools.
@@robonthecob6920 Talking about sexual orientation is already a sexual statement when directed to children.
And of course you are completely omitting 2016-2024's political scene when it comes to the Covington Catholic's kids or the fake indigenous mass graves in Canada that caused the vandalization of 85 Catholic Churches.
@@robonthecob6920 it literally is sexual content to describe homoSEXUALITY. What are you smoking?..
And the books he mentioned are literal p0rn books in elementary schools. Taking p0rn out of schools isnt nearly the same thing as censorship. The states arent even banning p0rn, just trying to say "dont let CHILDREN have access to it". Or is preventing a child from watching p0rn deemed censorship now?..🤦♂️

I converted to Christianity at 23, but I questioned leftism at 15. I think that seeing the clear difference between Socialist countries and Capitalist countries had a profound impact on me. So I was interested in “Libertarianism”, later I read JBP (which was a big part of the journey) but after being disillusioned by how Atheism is just destructive for society and the individual due to moral relativism, eventually, I was baptized in the Holy Land during the last Easter vigil
I used to be way more into conservative politics (Ben Shapiro, Jordan Peterson, etc.) before I got serious about my faith. Just a total shift in priorities

@@Apifie I don’t really know what you mean.

He also describes himself as a conservative frequently.
@@alents9349 hes not just political was my point. he is a clinical psychologist first and a christian
@@Apifie I guess sorta on the psychologist part, though he doesn’t really do much psychology anymore for obvious reasons, but I can see why you’d say that. I’m sussing out the Christian part of that though. If you can’t answer basic questions about the factuality of the the faith without spinning then around like “well you don’t mean what you think you mean when you ask that” and put more emphasis on political and moral action than the literal gospel then I think there is good reason to question whether or not you are a Christian (not you, just to be clear, I mean him). I mean, idk his heart for sure, but I don’t see anything other than him wanting to use Christianity as a justification and fuel for his moral positions and “psychology truths”

I had a similar thing happen except I was in Grad school and it wasn’t the LGBT issues people betrayed me over.

I’m certainly not a leftist, but I don’t think of myself as particularly conservative either though. I think I’m more apolitical than anything.
Independent is where it's at. Liberals and conservatives are two sides of the same coin especially when it comes to looking at both sides as a black man
Social conservatism follows necessarily from Christianity
Which independent? I’m a conservative in the sense that I want to conserve the foundations of the Constitution and Christianity in this country. I’m still independent in my voting. I would vote for Donald, but half the Republicans are just as bad as liberals. The thing is there isn’t a single liberal I would vote for lol.
@wizardwaluigi8623 The lesser of two evils is better then nothing
Funny. Looking at it as a white man (and I'm not saying this as a person who "happens to be white," but as a racially conscious white man) led me to the same conclusion.
This country/empire works for a very small subset of people. You can figure out who that is by paying attention to what the political elite agree on, and who their donors are.
@@masonmcgahey7 the lesser of two evils is still evil
I am always amused how leftists can call someone intolerant for disagreeing with something. The very definition of tolerance is being permissive of something one disagrees with. To tolerate something implies disagreement with it.
Leftists' standard praxis is manipulating language. Manipulate language and you can manipulate peoples' thoughts.

I went from about 90 percent liberal to about 90 percent conservative
I went from like 95 percent conservative too 100 percent in the past 18 years
I became a 80% conservative to like a 65% liberal
My only criticism of this is that there are level headed liberals out there who don't fetishize social justice or wokeness. But yeah, the ones who are woke definitely worship social justice. I would say its the exact same fallacy that the Jim Jones cult made. Jim Jones rejected the gospel and wanted to worship social justice, and it turn wanted his follower to worship him.
Wokeness has grown to the point where it has not only ceased to be liberal but in fact outright rejects liberalism.
I thought that the "woke mind virus" was just a bunch of right-wing fearmongering until I saw the pro-Palestine protests. This was when I realized that the "radical left" was not just a conservative boogeyman but a very real and very threatening phenomenon, perhaps even more threatening than the far right where I live.

It depends tho
@@user-jy6hd9uw8h What makes you say Anglicanism is half Catholic? I am entirely catholic, just not Roman.
It is probably because of the things I choose to research that I skipped Presbyterian/Methodist and went to the root.
Coming out of a deep IFB background, I would say large parts of the IFB are outside the faith and more of a folk-Christian cult.
Why did you become a traditionalist monarchist? I’m a monarchist as well. I became one due to being disillusioned with the political situation in the United States.
6:35 As a Roman Catholic, thank you, my good sir.
I’m m Catholic and I liked redeamed zoomer a lot he was fair even with disagreements I liked him as a fellow believer in Christ but i am saddened by his talk with Need God episode, need God saud were no better than Mormons and Catholics are worked based it’s sad because we are not works based and never have been , we are saved by Jesus thru grace and the sacraments give us more grace, I don’t know what happened but it’s saddening. I hope he knows we are Christian even Gavin Ortland says we are Christian
@@annb9029
Just had a look at that. RZ was not saying that Roman Catholicism is works-based. He was just saying that the logical conclusion of Roman Catholicism is a religion that is works-based.
It's similar to how Trent Horn says that "Protestants argue like atheists". He's not saying that Protestants are literally atheists, he's saying that atheism is the logical conclusion of Protestant arguments.
I felt he did not push back on need god , not even for his Presbyterian belief's, I wish he hit harder on baptism, he did a little bit but then stopped, need god totally ignored the people with special needs comments Zoomer made , I feel Need God gets away with always making others defend and he never has to do the same and that ticks me off , I think he throws people off by his soft spokenness you think he answered but really he just deflected back to you , at the end I felt need god was like yep my way is the best with his soft spoken way you don’t catch what he did , even that baptism is nothing important and then zoomer was agreeing. Ps I’m not giving zoomer a pass on this one he was not kind to Catholics in this one , when need god said were liked Mormons that should of been a red flag about need God and that he thinks like Ray comfort, need god doesn’t think we should be Protestant because they have the fullness of truth , but still thinks Catholics are Christian like Gaven Ortland does , need god thinks Catholics are not Christian no different than morman and that kind of talk makes me upset. He gets away with saying things in his soft voice that others would not I’m not at fan of him nor Ray Comfort (I use to like Ray but then I seen thru his nice guy camouflage) they seam like nice guys but they are sheep in wolves clothing. I will give zoomer a chance but if his videos become Catholics are not even Christian I’m out , I’m good with denominations having discussions and disagreements on doctrine but not saying we’re not Christian I’m done , we need more dialogue as Christians not need god or Ray comfort word salad crap

This video would benefit from a preamble with definitions. Most of the “conservatism” here is about being anti-LGBT and views on sexuality. Granted there’s a bit about criticism of post-modern philosophy and a bit of traditional theology. But how that fits on the left - right / conservative - progressive scale is, in my opinion incomplete at best.

While Protestants associate liberalism with affirming gay marriages, women for pastors, social justice and whatever else there is, in the Orthodox Church those who want to change the calendar and the liturgical language and embrace contact (not necessarily prayer) with non-Orthodox Christians are considered liberals.

There's a lot up in the air here. Christianity and Conservative aren't really the same, and not all people actually care about what it should really mean to be either or both. I don't like many republicans/politicians and I would say I'm conservative leaning on most moral issues.
A) Get them to understand that truth is important
B)Convince them that people can't be different genders or species, but it's ok to pretend in the proper settings. The main reason leftists accept that behavior is because they see it as non-conformist practices that upset general societal norms.
C) Tell them honest conversation and dialogue are the ways you bridge gaps. Focus on similarities, not differences.
D) Find high quality contributors that you can expose them to that generally are very honest and charitable, that tend to steelman instead of strawman opposing views. Like, I don't agree with Zoomer on his Reformed beliefs and tendency toward certain traditionally Christian practices, but I appreciate his honesty and pursuit of truth and see theological/philosophical differences as minor in the scheme of things, so I'm willing to watch his content, even if I disagree with parts of it.
E) Real Christians are a great bet for good people. Ones that embrace that we all sin but are willing to point it out and point out that we have a savior that cares for them. Culturally progressive churches are no good, they sacrifice what the word says because they are people focused first, not God. People focused is good, but it should be Godly and biblical first.
Thats something thats never gonna happen

Insightful and hopeful
It’s possible for some liberals to be tolerant, although it might be rare. I’m a devout Catholic and my girlfriend is pretty analytically minded and is agnostic as a lot of those science types are and generally supports liberal ideas. She knows that I believe homosexuality is a sin but recognizes I still love gay people and she knows I think there’s only two genders and accepts I think this way. I think she’s a really unique person because although very skeptical of faith she always comes to church with me and has even agreed she’d like to raise our kids in the church if we got married and had them. She exhibits a lot of cardinal virtues and I hope she reverts back to Catholicism one day.

I went to a rural school, and while there were a few kids that were transgender or non-binary (albeit they were very ostracized), we were taught very traditional beliefs, usually on the conservative side. We were definitely not taught about genders so progressively.
Honestly, I doubt that more than 2% of schools have actual lessons about more than two genders.
Totally agree with you. Inspirational! Would love to have you talk to our youth and young adults at church.
You know, I support gay rights because the government has no business meddling behind closed bedroom doors; and if it weren't for separation of church and state then my religion (Orthodoxy) would be illegal. This Trans thing is the real culture-war flashpoint because they literally want to coerce all sane people into saying insane things.
Even the “behind closed doors” point has been pushed away by some of the activists thanks to kink at pride
@@chibu3212 well yes, and this I think is a moral evil
My priest can relate ti the fear of being hated for being more conservative,like hiw some dont attend his masses because he is pro life
Great video, I love the honesty of your journey. Zoomer as always is a must-watch
Thanks for sharing your inspirational story! Glad that you chose to follow the true path to God! Glory to God in the Highest!
This was interesting and entertaining to listen to. Thanks for sharing, my brother in Christ!
Love you and your channel man! You're super donw to earth and wise imo. Keep spreading the good news, I look forward to learning from you!
The way he throws out wheat into the water when he's right next to the composter is straight up infuriating.
Politically I'd be best described as classical liberal or Libertarian
But I'm not anti government, but the ideal is self government with minor contract enforcement and right protection

Exactly the video I needed right now. Thank you so much.
Come to the Lord my beloved come to real love and peace which is found in our Lord and God Jesus Christ of Nazareth ✝️🙏❤️🛐
A liberal is not a leftist, and Mr Zoomer you were never a "leftist", the position you found yourself in is rooted deeply in the right, in America it might be called Leftism but being anti-gun, being pro-abortion etc. is not inherit to the left. The right believe heavily in individual liberty which included reproductive freedom, etc.
I as a Left-Catholic follow in the mindset of the late Dorothy Day, recognized by the Pope as one of the four great Americans and was a passionate Marxist. I hold firm that the teachings of Christ are not the same as the words of a mid century German economist, and I find it blasphemous when people call Christ, label Him as any political ideology as He is wholly defined within scripture.
Anyway, you were never a leftist unless you believed that the working class should own the means of production and that "class" is the great divider. If you were a leftist you'd recognize that the social division between classes is our greatest tragedy, that no society can be righteous, can claim to do good, in the name of God, or anything else when one group of people are born into a higher tier of living.
- Thanks' for you all your videos btw, it's just that American understanding of leftism is nothing more than fear mongering.
The idea that the left can only exist inside of Marxist terms is also pretty wild. I wonder where you come from to think that.
Oh, you have Jewish ancestry? Me too. My ancestors adopted Christianity in Ukraine after the October Revolution. Thanks for your videos!
Can we all as a society recognize the difference between the economic left-right and progressive-conservatism, please?
~ A conservative socialist (who actually read the Marx stuff)
For reference: The idea that the word "liberal" is associated with progressiveness and leftism would only have made sense about two centuries ago, when the liberal movement was your second option as opposed to an absolute monarch, but has never been associated with leftism (socialism(/communism)), since leftism/socialism(/communism) only came about as a reaction of the laborers to the liberal bourgeoisie. The idea that liberal and progressiveness are the same has to do with the fact that, for the people in the bourgeoisie, the Johns of our world, could gaim more freedom via the movement "liberalism", and by using the term to group both leftism and progressiveness, an entire category of people is left out: those who believe in more traditional social values ánd who believe that (for example) homelessness caused by the bourgeoisie exploiting workers is bad, and generally treating our poor better than we do now is a good thing.
Thank you.
I will add that some of the points you made on "leftists" (progressive people/woke people/certain members of the LGBT community), especially how their whole idea of tolerance doesn't make sense are quite good, I'm just here to defend my fellow socialists.
Have you ever looked into distributism? It’s a third way between capitalism and socialism developed particularly by GK Chesterton
Thank you for sharing your story. It goes to show that the path to enlightenment is a continuous effort and one mustn't slack off after reaching any given point. I see that I still have a long road ahead to get where you are now.
God bless.
This video is so good.
3:30 That Anthem is a banger though... it seems the bad guys always have the best music.
so what you're saying is you vote on social issues only
Yeah, his entire political shtick is deliberate ignorance of how gender works and blindly following the bible. It's obvious that he understands nothing about politics beyond culture war nonsense
Fascinating. Now I want to write down my own religious/ideological journey.
How did your family react when you told them you were Christian?
"their arguments aren't really based on logic and reason...I was given a bunch of emotional arguments instead"
Yes this!! I made so much progress evangelising leftists when I realized this. Apologetics arguments are practically useless. Now I speak first about the goodness of God - the depths of my joy and hope.
Even my heretical liberal New Testament professor said it saddens her that some professors make it their mission to destroy the faith of their students.

Big problem is that people do realize what a woman is, they just want to make you look bad by pushing you to lose your temper at them or make you look weak by conceding that you can't reason with them. It's totally a power play.
Your thumbnail almost made me think you’re a prophet ,goodness it’s so accurate 😂

This is the best form of content. I loved to hear your story and see how close it was to a lot of guys our age.
If anyone sees this, i am a Muslim apostate turn atheist for 10+ years, and I want to convert to Christianity, however I am lost as to which denomination to follow, seeing how I am from Syria, I was wondering if I should go with oriental orthodoxy or catholic, I am lost on that part and the last thing I want is to walk into a religion just to disrespect it I contacted a catholic priest who was a very inviting and kind person however again the last thing I want is to be wrong or disrespectful about the religion I want to follow, I am all ears to every advice and pointers thanks
Pick up a bible and start reading at the New Testament. That's more important than attending a church.
After you've finished the New Testament and hopefully heard the gospel, then start seeking a church. I don't recommend orthordox nor catholic due to their soteriology, which is their teaching regarding salvation, because it's very misguided relative to many protestant churches (not all).
If you really must go to a church, I suppose the baptist church might be a good start purely because they place a lot of emphasis on scripture.
Redeemed Zoomr has a lot of videos on denominations that you can watch. I personally would say Catholic over oo
@@blissseeker4719Good luck for him finding a Baptist church in Syria 💀
Both Catholic and Oriental Orthodox are very good choices. While I'm Catholic myself and that's the denomination I would recommend, being OO is very cool for you since it's the original Church of your country.
@@olekcholewa8171 neither are good choices because both get the gospel wrong
"The holy land isn't Palestine its Ohio" as someone who went on a catholic retreat in Ohio I can confirm this is deffenitly where Moses was traveling. He took a wrong turn I think.
I have a very similar experience as a woman and it feels nice that others have similar experiences as me :D
I speed ran all these phases in about two years lol
Btw, Redeemed Zommer. Your videos are great, your ideas are amazingly valuable. I'd say you only should stop calling stuff "cringe" all the time, bc althought we all get what you mean, you just sound childish by repeatedly saying that to label everything... You have very mature and valuable content for this kind of vocabulary. Wish you all the best 🙌🙌
I think it's just a common slang. I do the same with the word bro, I've literally called children bro. It just comes out sometimes. For me it's not about the words, it's about the message. To each their own. I have similar issues with people who constantly use the word like, between every other word.
Did you see the jump cut at 27:54? I believe at that moment he banned me because I used a command that he add to his server to teleport to his home… and I wasn’t supposed to be there (I didn’t know that by the way). Zoomer, if you’re reading this, can I be unbanned. I really like this server and I working on a church and it’s not finished
It was 2014 for me. I saw this all start with gamer gate. It’s actually insane how much my views change.

There needs to be a Reconquista movement for universities too. They used to be very traditional and Christian

Thank you for sharing your journey. I'm curious about how you came to trust the Bible and the process that you went through for it become a book you can trust.
19:37 I thought he was gonna say executed 😂
Great to hear. Continued success.
why does RZ get so many dislikes?
From my understanding, it's a bug with the extension according to RZ. But I wonder why it's his channel that this happens so much on.
I used to really like Hunter Avallone. I thought he was a cool dude and that he made funny, creative, and enjoyable content from a conservative perspective. Then there was something that happened. Pray for his soul.
Whenever somebody tries to criticise or strawman you, friends, if you mention Matt Walsh's documentary, don't take the ragebait and simply restate the thesis - or really it's a question - of the film. "When a biologically-male transexual claims to be a woman, what actually does the claim which this person is making consist of?"
