Alternative rock is fine.
In my language, ‘alternative’ is somewhat synonymous with ‘progressive’ (though we still have the bullshit meaning of ‘alternative facts’, ‘alternative medicine’). Is that not a thing in English, too? We rarely have an original thought when it comes to words like this.
I think your ideas here go into the right direction, but the confusing part for me is that many of the christians I know are so far below what you’d expect from a christian in these parts (which is already very little) - it’s not that they don’t give everything away to the poor, they’re doing (as far as I can tell) nothing - they don’t pray, they don’t go to church, and they don’t adhere to any of what the bible says they should do beyond maybe basic Golden Rule stuff. And it’s not even like most families would make a big deal out of it if you left the faith or even became fully atheist. Most do pay the church tax, though, which is about 1% of your gross income.

Der Boden ist Lava. Und der Himmel, die Wohnung, das Auto …
Habs auf Deutsch, auf Videos oder Reddit-artige Webseiten habe ich auf dem Smartphone keinen Bock.
It’s certainly weird how many people say that they believe and then just … don’t do anything that their belief says they should do.
December is the coldest month in your parts? It’s January or February here.
That’s potentially included in wishy-washy christianity. The important part is how they act on it. Though it certainly mystifies me how you can believe in that stuff and then act as if it doesn’t, but that’s kinda how people roll in my parts …
I wouldn’t get involved with someone deeply religious. I’d consider someone religious if they were sufficiently wishy-washy about it, though, e.g. people who are christian and believe in it at least enough to not call themselves atheists or agnostics but don’t really DO anything christian.
I never used social media that much and I can’t be bothered to hang around on Reddit in addition to Lemmy.
A million refugees don’t change that she is denying genocides. The million refugees are only special because her party is so racist, anyway.
plans to give away most of his fortune to charitable causes before he dies.
I’ll believe that when I see it. Also, lots of charity organizations are very sketchy.
In quite a few cases across the different editions, this behavior is enforced by class requirements. Though even then it’s still dumb to argue about that unless you’re at the point that the GM has to seriously consider changing your alignment because your actions are so far beyond your character’s on-paper alignment.
Seems rather optimistic …
And what does that have to do with the topic or this comment?
Coldest or hottest month of the year? It’s hard to choose.
I think there has been a certain amount of cultural change in the rightwing - used to be they just considered themselves the status quo upholders, the ones who were subversive were hippies, educated-but-not-rich city-dwellers, artists etc… Now that more progressive forces became somewhat mainstream and the rightwing radicalized, major parts of the rightwing have adopted a more subversive identity and messaging.
