How do Christians negatively affect your life?

[Chadrone]

Tell us you don’t know what Christianity is without telling us “I don’t know what Christianity is”.

What are you a mormon or something??

Heretic defending heretics.

 

[ll74]

That's not how that works.

Of course it is.

The popular kids dictate the rules.

Sure, and agree to the churches authority over them....or they're out of the church. Christianity isn't some liberal "do whatever!! just identify as a Christian and you are!!" thing. There is a 2000 year old tradition with rules and structure that define the religion.

The church is whatever the church decides to be.
Some churches aren't 200 years old.

Yes, the original churches in accordance with the scriptures are religiously correct.....not the heritic sects.

Ok

That's not how that works.

It is.
You just think your shit is different from theirs because you believe in the correct Jesus....not theirs

 

[Rebel5soul]

They suppress science.

Yeah, like ole Georges Lemaitre, a Belgium priest and the progenitor of 'The Big Bang Theory' (not the TV show).

 

[Wat_Tyler]

The Church sorted the calendar, replacing the ancient Roman clusterfuck.

No it's not. Christianity isn't a popularity contest style democracy.

The church is whatever the church decides to be.

No.

Some churches aren't 200 years old.

That's why they aren't churches.

It is.

No it's objectively not.

You just think your shit is different from theirs because you believe in the correct Jesus....not theirs

Correct, Christianity has a set of defining charictaristicts and beliefs beyond just believing in Jesus and identifying as Christian.

Heretical cults like JW's and mormons don't make the cut.

I bet most of them have never heard the term 'gregorian' before much less know where it came from.

 

[BabyBoomer50s]

Do you accept Donald J Trump as your Lord and Savior?

Not sure. Getting conflicting directions from Erika and Candice. Praying for guidance on My Pillow.

 

[Wilson23]

No it's not. Christianity isn't a popularity contest style democracy.

That's pretty much exactly what it is. It is only because certain high-school-cafeteria-level social dynamics played out as they did that you are not a Gnostic.

 

[SgtSpiderMan]

Yeah, like ole Georges Lemaitre, a Belgium priest and the progenitor of 'The Big Bang Theory' (not the TV show).

So to confirm you’re saying Christians don’t believe the book of Genesis, is that correct?

 

[Chadrone]

That's pretty much exactly what it is.

You only say this because you don't understand the church.

It is only because certain high-school-cafeteria-level social dynamics played out as they did that you are not a Gnostic.

LOL....how do you figure? This ought to be interesting.

The Orthodox priests got the ears of certain influential nobles and the Gnostics didn't. It's not complicated.

Lol....thank you for the laugh.

This is why I have a no soliciting sign at the front of my house

 

[Japansurfer]

Please cite examples.

I presume this is click bait for no reason than to incite something - but seriously why should I let someone impact my life due to their beliefs. In the same way a vegetarian or Australian don’t influence my life.

What influential nobles??

Say you were a woman living in an Islamic country. That would effect your life. It happens.

Enough that it was no real shock when the Emperor converted.

I’m not though so it doesn’t.

Well, I'll leave it to you, genius, to explain to the class how "Let there be light" is inconsistent with the Big Bang Theory.

Ah we're already at the totally nonsensical rsponse phase....that was quick.

Then you have answered the question successfully!

 

[Philthy_Phil]

The church enables pedophilia. It has done so for centuries. christians are a special breed of stupid.

 

[SgtSpiderMan]

Ok, so you’re unfamiliar with both. That clears it up, thanks.

How do you define Christian?

 

[Saint_Ann]

How do you define Christian?

A follower of the life of Christ. Hence the name.

 

[wallstreetguy]

Christians are wonderful people. This is a dumb thread.
