The left continuously speaks lies and sows discord among the people and among the brethren. Therefore; does the Lord hate the left.
Proverbs 6:16: These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
17: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
18: An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
19: A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
The left devices mischief continually and continuously the left sows discord among the people and the brethren. Therefore; the calamity of the Left will come suddenly, and suddenly, the left shall be broken without remedy.
Proverbs 6:12: A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth.
13: He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers;
14: Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord.
15: Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.

"I don't know how anyone can call themselves a Christian while teaching leftist principles utterly disgusting"
There's an easy explanation to that apparent dilemma.
The Marxist left are liars.
Teaching marxist leftism is lying.
Claiming to be a Christian while teaching marxist leftism, is lying.
Does that clarify it?
Matthew 7:15: Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
16: Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
17: Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18: A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19: Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20: Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
Matthew 7:21: Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22: Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23: And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
24: Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
25: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
26: And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
27: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

"christianity is inherently against individualism.
Look at history.
Every time western civilization has moved towards freedom, human rights and democracy was done by pushing away from religion.
Reformation, renaissance, the enlightment.
History proves my point."
Your interpretation of history does not prove your point. It only demonstrates that your point of view is corrupt.
The Reformation was to bring the Church back to Biblical Christianity and away from the corrupt religion that had taken over the catholic church at that time.
Christianity is not against individualism.
Christianity acknowledges individualism.
You are not a Christian just because you were born in a given nation or family or are part of a specific group or congregation. You can only be a Christian by you yourself believing that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and that He died on the cross to redeem you, yourself from your sins and ask Him to forgive you of your sins and come into your heart to be Lord of your life.
John 3:16: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17: For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18: He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19: And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20: For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21: But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Jesus Christ addressed people on an individual basis as well as a corporate basis.
First as an individual as above, secondly, believers as a corporate as follows.
John 13:34: A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
35: By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
John 14:15: If ye love me, keep my commandments.
The only thing history ever proves is that every succeeding generation must stand up to and reject the stupidity that caused mayhem and destruction in previous generations. Otherwise they will suffer the same fate as previous generations that chose to follow the stupidity that caused the mayhem and destruction.

"You said it yourself. They're not teachers, they're educators. There's a difference. Please educate yourself and what that means. "
You're in college, and you don't know that educator and teacher are synonyms.
Then tell me to educate myself.
I think you need to follow your own advice before you give out the advice.
From Webster's 1913 Dictionary
Educator
(n.) One who educates; a teacher.
You need to look up the definition of words more often.
You will be surprised how often a word is used in a way that is not consistent with it's actual definition.
"You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make them drink.. So whatever constructs they may have been touting to you. If it didn't come with data to back it up then you should not have listened to it. Hence "the bring you to the water."
I don't except a person's argument on a subject if that person's response to a request for sources is; "You need to do you own research."
While it is good that people do their own research, it is a mistake to assume that you do not have to be prepared to point people to your source of information.
It is especially necessary to require a link to a source if the person is making an accusation against someone.
"That said..Just because someone offers you information in a way that you do not like, it does not make that information incorrect."
This is true, however, keep in mind that data can be manipulated, so if you are being given a snapshot of the data, then odds are the data has been manipulated to put forth a view that is not correct. This happens on both sides of the isle and the real facts tend to fall somewhere in the middle. That is unless the proponents of the view point are not intentionally trying to mislead people to the extreme.
"The difference between a high school teacher and a college professor at least when it comes to their students is. WE ARE GROWN or at least I am and I can tell the difference between misinformation and quality information."
Regardless of whether you are grown or not; educators that engage in cultural transition and do not educate; are defrauding their students. In other industries, that would be a criminal offense and subject to prosecution.

"yo Lumpy, you know your religion is the biggest slave institution around?"
True Christianity does not enslave people.
Jesus Christ died to liberate people from the bondage, slavery and penalty of their sin.
"Your satanic god lied to you :("
My God is not satanic and has not lied to me.
I've had a lot of preachers lie and misinform me, but my God has never done so.
You should know that the person that told you God lied to you; is an agent of the same person that deceived the woman and brought the human race under the slavery of sin, disobedience and death.
The same one that deceived himself into thinking that if he killed Jesus Christ, he would win the war. Instead, Christ rose the third day victorious over sin and death, and penalty that those under the law of sin and death must suffer.
But that gift is not without a cost.
First, one must humble oneself and admit to needing that gift.
Second, One must humble oneself and ask for that gift.
Third, it is expected of those that believe on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation and the remission of sin; obey the commandments of the Lord Jesus Christ which requires the turning away from lies, immoral behavior and corruption.

"lol, Jesus died for your sins because he wants you to feel safe to sin some more!!"
Wrong!
Anyone that believes it's OK to sin is very ignorant of the Scriptures and it is doubtful that they are an actual believer in Christ.
Those that believe it is OK for them to sin do so by cutting a verse in the bible apart, then taking their preferred partial verse and claim it as truth.
Those words are; "ye are not under the law".
There however, is not a single sentence in and of itself, in the bible that states; "we are not under the law", nor is there any passage that implies it is OK to sin.
There are two verses that have; "ye are not under the law" within them. Romans 6:14 and Galatians 5:18. However, those sentences include prerequisites that one must abide by in order to not be under the law.
When you read the previous verse or verses and the following verse or verses, the message as a whole makes it quite clear that believers under the blood of Christ, do not have a license to sin and are expected to obey the laws of righteousness not follow after unrighteousness.
Romans 6:13: Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.
14: For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
15: What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.
Galatians 5:14: For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
15: But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.
16: This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
17: For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
18: But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
Those who like to pick verses apart in the way the "we are not under the law" wicked do; are not under the blood of Christ. They are in fact rebellious to Christ.
In fact, a couple chapters later in Romans 8:2; Paul puts forth that despite the fact that we are in Christ; we are yet under law. Not the law of sin and death that brings condemnation and eternal punishment; but the law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus that brings forgiveness and life.
Romans 8:2: For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
If the law has freed me from the law, then am I yet under law. Those that stand upon the statement; "we are not under the law" are rebellious to the law and not under the Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus. They confess it to being so with their words.
Believers in Christ receive the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.
When the Holy Spirit enters a believer, the first thing He does is write God's law in their heart.
Jeremiah 31:33: But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
The second thing He does is begin to give the believer a new heart that walks in God's statutes, keeps His judgments and does them.
Ezekiel 36:26: A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.
27: And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.
The Holy Spirit works these things in believers because we are saved by grace through faith; not of the works we do ourselves, lest any of us boast in ourselves that we have saved ourselves from sin.
Ephesians 2:8: For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
10: For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
The whole purpose of salvation by grace through faith is so that we become God's workmanship in Christ Jesus unto good works which God has before ordained that we should walk in them.
"Exactly what Satan wants!! Your cult lied to you!! See you pretend you’re smart but really you’re just institutionalized by your cult :( Satan deceived the whole world! "
I don't have a cult. I have a resurrected savior.
You are free to continue following after the deceptions of your lies.
But you will do well to repent from those lies and believe on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ; only begotten Son of God.
"America is Babylon!! Everything you know is a LIE!! But don’t take my word on it, because your god is coming for you!"
If you believe that America is Babylon; you are the one that is deceived.
China fits the description of mystery Babylon more so than the United States; even though we currently have politicians that are seeking to turn the United States into a marxist totalitarian regime like China. You will do well to stand against these efforts.

"That's what we all want isn't it?"
No it's not.
"Then why aren't we doing it?"
Because it's not what we all want.
Whether tough love is tough love or not is solely dependent upon one's definition of tough love.
There is not a one size fits all approach to tough love.
The tough love one gives to an addict will be of no benefit to a non addict.
I was homeless from march 2004 until august 2008.
In May of 2007 I was hospitalized with a heart condition that required surgery.
Despite this fact, after leaving the hospital I was expected to go into any business that may or may not have been hiring, and take any job that I was or was not qualified to do.
The only way I was able to get off the street was to go through a training program that was a hundred miles away from my home town until I was offered a HUD section 8 apartment. And even that was a bit iffy because, despite having an obvious physical disability from heart disease, not a single doctor was willing to declare me disabled.
If you treat a healthy person that is having a difficult time finding work during a depression; like a drug addict; rather than getting that person back go work, you will end up disabling that person permanently.
There are plenty of programs for a homeless drug addict.
I could find absolutely none for an unemployed homeless man that needed time to analyze the situation without all the stress and figure out what the best course of action would be.
Oh, and it would have been nice if I was given such information that lead to a training program that would lead to employment, rather than just a bunch of raw data that didn't really tell me much.
If you want to help the homeless, help the individual.
Don't try to help people that don't want your help, and then refuse to help those that are genuinely trying to straighten out their lives with the disingenuous lying excuse that all homeless people choose to be homeless.
Some homeless are homeless as a result of long term unemployment or underemployment, not a drug addiction.

"He was incredibly radical in his time. So much so, that his words and acts are still revered thousands of years later.
It's unreasonable to expect the person on the street to live up to that kind of standard."
The seemingly unreasonableness of the expectation is most certainly reasonable. Without that expectation, you would refuse to acknowledge that you are incapable of living up to that expectation.
John 15:5: I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
God knows we cannot live up to the expectation, that is why Jesus died for our salvation and the remission of our sins.
John 3:16: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17: For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
John 3:18: He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19: And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20: For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21: But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
God want's you to strive to achieve that standard with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind and with all your might, but He does not expect you to do it alone, that is why He puts the Holy Spirit within you.
Ezekiel 36:27: And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.
John 14:15: If ye love me, keep my commandments.
16: And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
17: Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
John 15:26: But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:
John 16:13: Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

"So absentee ballots are fine, but if tens of millions of people request them, then you're in the same spot, right? How is it that THEY re fine but voting by mail isn't?"
Not exactly.
When you request an absentee ballot you have to go into the clerks office and verify your identity.
Thus, the only ballots sent out are sent out to the verified address of the voter that requested the ballot.
When ballots that are not requested by the voter are sent out, there is no verification of the address. That voter may have moved to another State and as a result, the new resident at that address will receive the ballot.
If the new resident of the address is dishonest, they can use that ballot illegally to vote for the name on the ballot and forge the signature, even though that individual is no longer a resident of the state and therefore, not qualified to vote.
Anyone that claims this won't happen, is in my opinion, one of the dishonest people that would use the ballot illegally. Why else would they claim that what has happened in the past, won't happen in the future?

"words that are synonym are not the same. That's why they're called synonyms and not the same.."
Really?
Now, I did warn you about looking up word definitions to make sure you have the correct one.
But this word gets murky and contrary to itself.
From English explanatory dictionary (main)
synonym
ˈsɪnənɪm n.
1 a word or phrase that means exactly or nearly the same as another in the same language (e.g. shut and close).
2 a word denoting the same thing as another but suitable to a different context (e.g. serpent for snake, Hellene for Greek) or containing a different emphasis (e.g. blindworm for slow-worm).
3 a word equivalent to another in some but not all senses (e.g. ship and vessel). øøsynonymic adj. synonymity n. [ME f. L synonymum f. Gk sunonumon neut. of sunonumos (as SYN-, onoma name): cf. ANONYMOUS]
From WordNet® 3.0 (En-En)
synonym
noun
two words that can be interchanged in a context are said to be synonymous relative to that context
Perhaps you were thinking of the following definition of synonym.
Apparently, when you capitalize the s, the definition changes.
I wonder whose not so bright idea that was.
From Webster's 1913 Dictionary
Synonym
(n.) An incorrect or incorrectly applied scientific name, as a new name applied to a species or genus already properly named, or a specific name preoccupied by that of another species of the same genus; -- so used in the system of nomenclature (which see) in which the correct scientific names of certain natural groups (usually genera, species, and subspecies) are regarded as determined by priority.
"When it comes to the rest of what you said, it's all about how to interpret information when literally that's what I said. Whereas your argument was if you go to college, you're only learning what the professors tell you. And again, if you only learn what the professors tell you in college, you did college wrong. Period"
Unfortunately, the majority of college grads these days, are as you say; "doing college wrong".

You certainly do use a whole lot of words to say absolutely nothing of significance.
Your whole premise is from a position of offense.
You take offense to those that preach the Gospel of Christ, obeying the commandment of Christ to make a living of the Gospel.
However, you do have one thing going for you. That is; you have not claimed to be Christian like so many I have come across both in person and on social media that will not lift a finger to help a neighbor in need.
That by the way; includes some of those men in the pulpit.
Because of the experiences I have had in Christ and with God, some have rebuked me with the words: "experience does not make truth".
It's quite hypocritical of them when you think about it.
In my experience, I have heard the voice of God call me by name and declare to me what He wants me to do. I have seen visions and dreamed prophetic dreams of events that came to pass.
In there experience, they have experienced non of these things.
Yet, they judge and declare that what I have experienced does not equal truth, while what they have experienced does make truth.
Then there are people like you that think themselves so much more intelligent in matters of things they know nothing about.
Because you take offense at every preacher you see on TV asking for money, you cannot see the truth of the valid message that some of them give.
That Jesus Christ, the only begotten, The Son of God, came to earth, born of a virgin.
Lived a sinless life.
Died for the sins of mankind.
Rose the third day and is ascended up to heaven.
Seated at the right hand of God a high priest to those that believe on His name.
Is soon to return to earth the King of Kings and Lord of Lords to reign over all the earth 1000 years and there will be no wars, but there shall be peace.
The Lion and the Wolf will eat grass like the Ox.
Take care not to allow that which offends you; blind you, to that which is truth and that which can redeem your eternal soul from the lake of fire which is not quenched.
