First of all you're obsessed by something called alt.right,
Not obsessed. Check title of thread. Might lead to some clues as to what this thread is about. I am merely one person posting in it on this topic. Please do check the title... I think it will prove informative.
which if it exists at all was dreamt up by leftist ideologues to seal debate against the incursion of common sense and backsliding in the young and impressionable.
Well, this a thread about the alt-right and there some supporters of it here so perhaps you should discuss with them and tell them your theory. I cannot speak to it and it interests me not at all. Perhaps they will chime in with an opinion on your theory.
If such a thing is more than internet chatter in search of a neologism, I seriously don't think it's the royal road to fascism much less Nazism. Both of those are in rude good health without equating social conservatism with the far right.
But then, you WOULD say that wouldn't you?
Secondly unless you're a member of a latter day cult like Trinitarianism, Jesus, the Holy Spirit and God are one in the same, a divine mystery for Christians but one that supports Christ the Nazarene and the creator of the universe as indivisible. We can debate the to and fro with scripture tennis but it amounts to something very like I've just said.
Or does it? For you it does I agree. But you might not be the benchmark.
Thirdly, to forgive the suicide bombers requires acknowledging their actions in their entirety, not merely as generalised victims, victimising. The Manchester bomber filled a jacket of explosives with "dockyard confetti" to reduce adolescent young women to small parts and strike a blow at Western decadence and reserve himself a coterie of his own intact virgins. He may have had a lousy life, he may have been bullied by a militaristic brand of Islam. He may have been extremely stupid, but not so stupid as to be incapable of unleashing a lethal weapon. It really isn't for me to forgive him because, thank God, the incident is just another headline. What the relatives think is up to them. One internet comment about a subsequent atrocity put it best. We cry, we light candles, we sing songs together, repeat, because the alternative is doing something about it.
So the forgiveness is conditional? You added this to the Sermon on the Mount didn't you? I just rechecked and didn't see any conditions in there.
And what's with the bad Islamic theology? Is not needed even if you got it right (you didn't) - why bother with that diatribe? Interesting.
You might want to ponder your statement of "reserve himself a coterie of his own intact virgins" in the light of the very many female suicide bombers. What is their motivation? It must be different surely? Or do they get male virgins? Or maybe they're Lesbians? Or maybe they have another motivation entirely? And if so why can't this be THE SAME as the male motivation?
So many questions!
