Christanity - lol, this is not going to end well

*tips fedora*

I'm not going to say much besides: "lol, good luck not fucking this conversation up".

You can generalize to other religions if you want, but since this site keeps talking about the Islams (trademarked), it would be prefer to keep to the topic of Christianity.

But here's my two cents: Islam is a lot more overt with its evil, and Christianity is a lot more insidious with its evil and hides it a lot more easily.

Tbh, it's better to convert to Kiwism in my opinion.

I would praise the Catholic Church, if my mouth hadn't been utterly destroyed by Father O'Connors back in the day.

One of my favorite minor cows of all time seems to have disappeared from YouTube. Half of her videos were all about throwback pre-Vatican II Catholicism and the other half were about weird shit like making money off of commodity futures. So wanted to post some of her stuff here. This thread is clearly a sign from above that you filthy heathens need her enlightenment. But alas, while the Lord gave her to us, YouTube seems to have taken her away. Now you're all just going to have to burn in Hell, sorry.

For the life of me I cannot remember her name. I mentally pigeon-holed her as "Crazy Catholic Mullet Commodities Trading Lady" (she also rocked one of the most amazing she-mullets I think I've ever seen in most of her videos) and that blotted out any and all other references I had in my clearly befuddled mind.

I think in her most watched video she either set a Qu'ran on fire or drowned it. Lines like "See, this is an OFFICIAL Qu'ran, it has English on one page and Arabic on the other, and I'm gonna destroy it before this video ends, but first twenty minutes of sperging about the Council of Trent and other stuff only twelve people on the planet care about," etc. All gone now.

I think Westboro is my fav because they hate everyone equally, even other fundies. And they are too silly to really be offensive.

Here's my two cents.

I'm 100% fine with Christians even if we Muslims disagree that Jesus was the son of God (or even God in some cases). However this applies to my opinions regarding other religious beliefs as well, as long as you aren't harming others.

I actually went to the Vatican last year during our countrywide trip in Italy and it was one of the most serene and beautiful religious centers I've been to that didn't belong to my religion. I admired the unity of the people involved and the famous examples of Renaissance paintings and old statues that were in the Sistine Chapel and St Peter's Basilica respectively. Even as a devout Muslim I was moved.

Now there are horrible people that happen to be Christians but that's a given with any religious belief.
You'll always find extremists polluting the waters for everyone involved.

I am Christian and if I got this I would be so pissed off. Hate it when people try to preach like this

I grew up in a Christian home and went to private Christian schools all my life through Highschool. Over time I kind of slid away from it though...

It boiled down to the fact that it felt like literally everything you do is wrong. Even thinking about doing something wrong is a sin, and fantasizing about someone you like is committing lust in your heart... I began to wonder how much of this is actually true to the word, and how much of it was due to the biblical text being translated and misconstrued over and over.

Personally I came to this conclusion: Religion is an inherently personal and beautiful thing; it gives people solace and comfort, and the strength to carry on. Wether you believe it's real or not, if it means something to someone then it's a powerful force

However... People will always twist religion in their favor, or use it as a prop when it's convenient to them, especially those in power or trying to gain power. As a modern organization I feel like Religion is inherently self-serving and it's lost it's meaning.

My advice: Find a belief that's right for you, and do what you feel is right by you, not what a group of people tell you.

Or maybe I'm just talking out my ass, who knows?

Christianity comes in a billion different flavors. Some of those flavors are okay.

IMO Jesus was probably real but obviously he was just a cult leader (not saying he had to have been a bad person, but the whole group following him was indeed a cult by definition), not in contact with a personified creator or him in flesh or anything like that.

I have nothing against religious people even if honestly, without being mean, I don't think there is some personal meaning with believing in something that is just false for me and from my viewpoint, it's a slightly bad thing that so many people believe in something not real.
There is a lot of value about the cultures and philosophies around religions though.

I dunno, I feel like some lowkey perennialism is quite pervading, the idea that all religious paths leads to God and you are a bigot or a fedora atheist if you don't think other religions have inherent meaning or "truthness" or if you think that none have these.

I'm a Christian who slipped out of faith in my teens. Became a 'euphoric Atheist' for a bit and then slipped back in. It's easy to say bad things about christians, when you don't attend a church or meet or talk to them about their faith but I learnt that most christians are good people, and mean no harm whatsoever.

People are cowards, and most people who have low self asteems want to be better than something/someone so it's easy to blame it on something that's so comman. Disbelieving in god is okay though, but it was hard for me to believe that christians would like me if I was an atheist or gay or whatever, so I hated them.

Christianity itself isn't what people should hate in my opinion, if you want to hate on it then hate on Organised Christianity (E.g the Catholic Church and Vitican) than christians in general.

I kinda believe I might be in purgatory right now.

 

[ZeCommissar]

I can't take the bible literally, nor can I take people that tell me to take it literally seriously. We live in a modern world and you expect me to believe that a talking snake and some fruit is why we have all these problems today?

But other than that, I understand why people are Christian and religious in general. It gives them comfort when something bad happens and joy when something good happens. As long as a Christian is fine with my lack of belief I am fine with their belief.

Alot of people use the authority of religion to score points and metaphorically wack people over the head, yet those same people probably commit sins themselves, and do not live up to what they preach. People argue, and sneer at each other, and when they die their petty bullshit doesn't ultimately mean anything. I dont mean all religious people just the vocal ones I see quite a bit online. Ive seen edgy alt righters on 4chan and twitter claim they follow Christ, and are soooo Holy cuz they have God, yet they say Nigger this and Nigger that, and fap to hentai everyday lol Christianity gets used as a prop, like a costume or something. It is advantageous to just lie and say you believe in god, at least you wont get called a neckbeard.
