I would have said, "I identify as you. Give me your wallet" but then, I am a pirate.
And you have to accept me as one!!!! My pronouns are "ARRRR!" and "Bacon"

Lies? You'd have to show that it was done knowingly and willingly.
I posted some news relevant to the topic. I'm sorry that upsets you. Maybe we could build you a safe space?
What are you ranting about? Who brought up Tim Pool? Looks like you did. I certainly did not. The bomb threats were not sent to him that I know of.
Your incredulity is not a valid argument.
That's nice, I'm not a Christian and I suspect you're an uber-liberal one.
Had figured on just letting this go, as having to explain the use of purpose of stories not directly related to conversation as analogies seemed like a bit of a waste of time, but repeat news events make at least part of this a teachable moment:
You wonder why I'm bringing up Tim Pool in a conversation where I said it'd be good practice to be skeptical of too-good-to-check information after getting so recently suckered. I introduced Tim Pool into the conversation because I checked for the source of the bomb threats you attributed to "trans radicals" and found that the threatening email was sent to Tim Pool's website subscribers. Since Tim Pool is a known magnet of right-wing folk, it seemed a bit odd for "trans radicals" to deliver a bomb threat to Target locations through his subscription email. Not impossible but also not in line with what we'd expect, especially since we routinely see these sorts of threats associated with the right-wing outrage cycles themselves and not usually in response to a company's subsequent actions. For example, mere days after Kohl's found itself a target of the same astroturfing anti-Pride attacks:
Anyway, it's a teaching moment to check one's sources. That way, when people who *did* vet the information talk about it, you won't look like a rube who just copies and pastes potential agitprop without even cursory investigation.
That's just good practice for anyone. My initial comments, however, were directed specifically to the Christians on this thread who participated in something predicated on falsehoods because those people are bound by a specific and shared ethical code. I didn't include you in the criticism because you aren't so bound by that particular creed.
In this case, it doesn't matter even a bit whether one is a "liberal" or "conservative" Christian (I doubt the terms are even remotely meaningful on this forum, where "conservative" Christians largely align themselves with known adulterers, sexual abusers, and serials liars). This is a question not of political alignment but of commitment to truth and reconciliation — something more in the realm of "mere" Christianity.

Thanks
The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Your response, a grousing tu quoque, only drives my point home: the distinction between "conservative" and "liberal" Christianity is immaterial here because aligning one's Christianity to a political political ideology doesn't tell us the first thing about how well or poorly that Christian adheres to Christian principles — it merely lets us know who's colors in the Culture War are being worn.

One could assume that "liberal Christians" would be less beholden to tradition and its associated strictures; my point was that the "conservative Christians" are as likely, if not even more likely, to have abandoned conservative Christianity.
