I know the content on the channel is very neutral, and that is a big reason I liked Wendigoon's content too. And seeing how politics is fundamentally a discussion on how to solve such inequalities, I think every person should at least harbor some interest in these matters. Just because you don't see any injustice in your own day-to-day life does not mean that injustice does not occur in any parts of the society. You can't just cover your ears and eyes until the only thing you hear is Wendigoon's Conspiracy Iceberg Tier 9. It's impossible and frankly irresponsible to turn a blind eye to political matters just because a channel does not go into them at such lengths. Speaking of which, you can't hide from politics, no matter how much you hate the discourse. This is not me trying to insert politics into an apolitical channel, this is me being a reasonable fucking human being. Men wouldn't want to follow a content creator that believes that all men are sinful. Now, (probably) unlike most of you, I too am a minority in many ways, and I don't want to follow or consume the content of someone who, secretly or not, thinks that I am subhuman. What I really meant was that I was curious whether Wendi was a closeted bigot, which never seemed at all likely until I saw that he was following some accounts notorious for their stance towards minorities in society. Maybe some people took it the wrong way when I termed it 'political stance'. I wish I could do this and pretend to not care otherwise, but I can't. I got a ton of comments saying that I shouldn't care about the political stance of Wendi and learn to enjoy his content. After looking at the comments, and the number one controversial post, I'm just so disappointed by this community. "Question with boldness even the existence of a God because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blind-folded fear.Hello y'all, I'm the person who asked the political stance of Wendigoon and accidentally created one of the most controversial posts on this sub ever. And it is these mistakes we are given a need to have a savior who can intervene and enlighten us in our pursuit of knowledge. The mysteries of life were never found in the a single place or mind set, rather they were built upon through considerable amounts of testing, effort, and mistakes. We are all on a journey and lucky for us, it requires we strive to understand the world around us. Christ never told his disciple to follow blindly, rather he told them to follow and learn of Him. I simply think God does have the wisdom to know our hearts and can tell between honest thinking versus the justification of acting outside His laws. We definingly have a great deal of literature and scriptures to tell us what He wants us to do. Don't take what I just said to mean we decide the laws of God. Remember that, because at the end of the day your pastor is not the one who suffered and died for you. The man seems kind and doing much better things with his life than most people his age. I also do not know enough about Wendigoon to judge him and nor would I like to be his judge. I personally disagree with him, but I myself have spent a good deal of my life studying religion to have developed a balance of what I believe is right and wrong. Your Pastor seems like a man who deeply cares about what he believes. I also don't find all his theories to be as on point to my own views as I would like, but I am quite glad he love what he does enough to make his videos. That said I do think it's unfortunate he phrased his response in the way he did - IMO there is absolutely nothing wrong with being a Christian, exploring the Bible from an academic point of view, and considering other historical documents that may have been written around the same time, especially considering how much Christianity has evolved since it startedįrom what I have seen from Wendigoon, I think he is chill enough to recognize when you need to simply agree to disagree. This spectrum comes with the territory since every pastor has a different style and curriculum, so you're bound to get a variety of opinions depending on who you talk to. I think it's worth noting that there's a spectrum amongst Christians, where on one end, there are people like your pastor who think in more absolute terms (and going a step further, they may believe that everything in the Bible should be taken literally), and on the other end there are people who recognize that the Bible is far more open to interpretation, where they try to consider both the context in which it would have been written and its relevance to society today. At the risk of sounding presumptuous, your pastor sounds like someone who believes the Bible is absolute - whatever is part of the canon that is worth teaching and understanding is fully contained in the Bible, and nothing outside of the Bible should be considered.
