What Religion are You?

[JohnnyGtar]

Christ was most definitely not a jew. But that’s a different can of worms I’m not willing to go into.

Good grief! Are you serious? Try reading the New Testament sometime.

 

[Ben Waylin]

You too, Donnie. Hail Satan.

I have it on the highest authority.. Donnie's not here anymore.

 

[WEF Chairman]

I have it on the highest authority.. Donnie's not here anymore

None of us are here. It’s all just an illusion.

Atheists: “Bro! Jesus was not real but he was definitely a jew”

Funny but not really funny

Who the fuck knows, but if you believe he's real because the bible, you might as well believe he's jewish too

 

[Bad Brain]

So can you, but why the inconsistency?

 

[Bad Brain]

What inconsistency?

About Jesus not being jewish, but being christian. For that matter, all of the disciples and 99% of the early church were jewish, so if you're going to be a jew-hater, which is your prerogative, you should probably become some kind of Euro-pagan like other neo-nazis.

 

[Dan Gleesak]

You make absolutely no sense whatsoever. Where did I say any of those things!

If one cites the Bible as a reason to believe in Jesus, one should also believe that Jesus was Jewish, as that is what it says in the Bible.

 

[WEF Chairman]

It’s kinda disappointing but it’s just the way things are. The average man is by default in the dark intellectualy and some of the time in the dark spiritually.

Christianity wasn’t a thing until long after Jesus was dead and buried.

Atheists don't generally deny known history they just deny the divinity of Christ.

It’s been a fun convo really. I guess by “does there need to be an improved” anything, I mean that there has to be an action, or a stimulus to drive the need to change, or adapt.

But what it did get me pondering is how we can define a “need”. Do humans need 8 billion of us to be a success? I mentioned our intelligence is able to make those “naturally” unable to conceive, able to conceive (and also those with illnesses, recover) At what point did our intelligence stop simply securing our continuation, and begin just making it more comfortable? It’s probably not the thread to go into it, but it does make me think.

While I do believe we are a product or evolution, I also do believe our minds make us truly unique

Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for taking time to respond. I think I understand where you are comng from.

As for the billions, the harvest is great but the laborers are few. Each person is unique, made in God's image. Even identical twins have different fingerprints, so they are not identical, but individuals, each with their own special identity. All 8 billion of us. If you try to view others as created by the Lord I've found you tend to treat them a little better and be more willing to share your time and resources with those in need. If we do that, there is more than enough for 10 or 12 billion people. Be blessed.

Jesus’ historicity is iffy too, but I’m going along with it for the sake of the argument.

[VonBonfire]

What about Edom?

I'd have to know your definition of Edom before we enter another discussion where it turns into semantics.

I enjoy religious talks, and am quite fond of many parts of religions to be honest. I do try to display many of the values I learned while I was part of a congregation in my everyday life.

Out of respect for other “religious” people I don’t consider myself part of any certain religion because while I partake in many of the values and morals of Christianity, I do not believe the, for the lack of a better term, story behind the religion. Do I think the Bible teaches many great lessons? Yes I do. Do I think all of the events told in the Bible actually happened? No I do not. So because of that, I can’t in good conscience say that I am a Christian.

When you talk of feeling “blessed” I feel the same but as simple gratitude. Maybe not towards a singular being, but towards life itself.

I feel I am a good husband, a good father and a good boss, and those things often come at the expense of my own needs and comforts. It does however return to me in gratitude and slightly selfish accomplishment I feel as being what I think a man should be.

Sure I’m a jerk online sometimes lol but honestly if I was mouthing off the way some members do here, or when I do mouth of here, I would expect the same “jerky” response to myself.

I did not think about religion for a long time, and since having children, and having them start to become old enough to ask questions about it, in the midst of explaining it to them as secular as possible, I realized how universal so much of religion can be when guiding someone else, or yourself through life.

Anyways off to a grade school open house instead of cranking my 4x12 in an empty house…

Pretty sure they used the same word which means the same thing in all Bibles.
Also semantics don’t mean what you think they mean. The words we discussed about don’t have the same meaning.

Dude. You’re not some sage biblical scholar.
Everyone can see right through you.
