How can I agree? I don't have a clue what he is trying to say

I'm sure you do!

As opposed to what many preach... Repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost with evidence of speaking in tongues, and live a holy life ( read: according to what is my conviction and interpretation of holy life).
When Peter went to Cornelius' house (Gentile) and preached the Word of God to them, they received the Holy Ghost and Peter commanded them to be baptized. He didn't tell them they had to be circumcised. He didn't tell them they had to submit to all the law of the old covenant. He commanded them to be baptized and left. Later then the judaizers came and caused confusion by requiring that they submit to the old traditions of the law (such as circumcision) and insisted that conformance to their view was required for salvation. The issue was put to rest in Acts 15, but we've sure done a great job of picking it back up.
Biblical standards are things like these:
"Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God." ~ 1 Corinthians 6.9-10

Fair enough.

What's funny is, since everyone knows Pixler is a the right-wing side of things, all the cons are saying, "Oh wow, that's wonderful." None of them can explain it, of course, but they love it! 
That makes sense, though. None of the Con hogwash makes any sense.

Colossians 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
To me, this scripture says: If you are following the traditions of men, formed after worldly principles, that would constitute "not" following Christ. "Traditions of men" in that verse refers specifically to Jewish law, which tells me that even something "religious" can be ultimately worldly, and have nothing to do with following Christ.
My version:
Be cautious, lest any man lead you away with philosophies and empty delusions that were reached by following after man's traditions and worldly principles, instead of following Christ.
Following God = Godliness
Following anything else = Worldliness

People can read a lot into the words, image and glory. What definitions is Pixler using for these words?

Really? You might want to re-read the thread so your comments can reflect reality. 
There's a lot of conservative thought that makes a LOT of sense. And most liberal hogwash makes zero sense.

Is your brain on today? You may want to borrow one from your 2 year old for a second. Ok, Bro. Pixler is saying that when someone steals the glory from God (i.e. accepting the praise for themselves) they pervert the image of God. I already pointed out some scripture to back this up. Please review my previous post on this discussion.
