Most have probably never read the Bible either.

4 daysWhat are you talking about? Next thing you’re going to say he wasn’t blond and blue-eyed?
I gotta say, of all the Jesuses, Korean Jesus is my favorite. Bro is ripped for your sins

But he did speak English and have a crucifix on a chain around his neck, right?
Obviously. And he loved shooting his AR-15.

Ok, seeing as you mentioned the crucifix thing let’s talk about why Adam and Eve have belly buttons

He might have been, those features aren’t unheard of in that part of the world. My Greek husband was born with blond hair and has green eyes, his parents have blue eyes. He probably wasn’t, but even a minority of Palestinians are blonde.

It’s almost like their supposed beliefs aren’t sincerely held and they are nominally attaching themselves to that belief system to lend credibility to whatever they want to spread. This post is about MAGA, people with “legitimate concerns” about immigration while rioting and destroying livelihoods, and about these fucks.

lovely. I haven’t met many of these people (probably because the place I go to interact with Christians is Church) but from rare experiences, trying to discuss theology with these people is often quite difficult. There was someone online, albeit from a different country, who joined a Christian group chat and had a vitriolic hatred of muslims. We kept trying to correct him on his behaviour, and then he ended up leaving (whatever his version was of) Christianity because we weren’t letting him have a vitriolic hatred of muslims.
Same here, in France. I read everywhere that Christians are nationalists hating LGBTQ people and women’s rights… most of the grey hairs on my church’s benches fought for the legalization of abortion (I criticised May 68 one day and was almost lynched), my pastor marries homosexuals and the president of my church (a woman, by the way) openly condemned Le Pen and her party.
But if I discuss with less active Christians, who I see only rarely or not at all (but send money once a year to our parish, they proudly say), the tone is very different.

I’ve noticed here in Australia as well. Our pastor hard that people were picking sides in the Israeli Palestinian Iranian war and he slapped it down in a sermon and told us that we were to love everyone with all our hearts.
But I’ve mentioned that I’m a church goer to people who don’t believe at all and they told me that Australia should be a Christian country. I’m not sure what value they see in Christianity, but I doubt it matches what I’ve been taught

Let me correct your statement slightly.
“Most probably can’t read.”

Is anyone even surprised? This seems very par for the course for religious extremists. A lot of Islamic extremists terrorists were previously things like Drug dealers or or such who rarely appeared at Mosques.

In-group vs out-group is all it is, modern day tribalism. And calling oneself a Christian patriot is nothing more than a less outspokenly racist way of idenitfying as a white supremacist.
They all know this, all of us here should know this, it’s the less politically knowledgeable white members of the public who don’t particularly know this, which are their main targets to bring to their movement

Most Christians probably have never read the Bible? Have you? I have and it’s… a challenge.
And Christians mostly follow the New Testament, btw, not the Bible.

I have little doubt that the percentage of atheists who’ve read the whole bible is significantly larger than the percentage of people who call themselves christians who have done so, and still larger than the percentage of them who’ve only read the new testament.
- BitUnWise@programming.devEnglish4 days
When talking about Christianity, the Bible refers to both the old and new testament. And while Christians don’t typically follow the “laws” in the old testament, it is still a huge part of Christianity
They just take what supports their ideology and ignore all the rest.
And to be honest, it’s actually quite a decent way of living. But then you also have to accept teachings from other religions as well as atheism. Otherwise you’re just a selfish cunt.

I’m actually kinda surprised. I figured people go to church to learn how to be racist. If you didn’t have a bunch of bigots around you telling you how to hate the other, you probably wouldn’t have that attitude. And fuck knows, Christians can certainly do bigotry proud.

You’ve posted to say that women without kids should be restricted in the workplace.
- MrSulu@lemmy.mlEnglish4 days
It informs intelligent users of your disgusting views about women. People can then check for themselves.
- MrSulu@lemmy.mlEnglish4 days
I did, you responded. Your views about women make you a significant concern.
- MrSulu@lemmy.mlEnglish4 days
You didn’t read my comments about your disgusting sexism, your views about women and your view that men need to take control to save society? Read first. Return when you understand.
