  • What? You asked me about republicans more. American republicans aren't much better. They are looking towards getting rid of free school meals for children, not dealing with American health care crises, etc.

    I have barely put money towards organised religion, and the Bible scarcely talks about finances, constantly rebukes the rich also, so if Christianity is simply to make money, it's a pretty rubbish money making scheme.

  • Well, republics exist across the world. Some are okay, but Türkiye is another example of one that failed. Although no system is perfect.

  • Actually a good idea

  • Their mass terror campaign and manipulating Americans into supporting them. They are prone to easily destroy their democratic system over a charismatic leader as well to suddenly elect as a head of state.

  • I grew up in a pretty conservative baptist family. My grandfather stopped drinking, and my mum never drank and then neither have I. While my beliefs are different from my parents now and I think drinking alcohol is morally alright, I still avoid it. Don't see a point in starting.

  • Tbf, Time person of the year is based on controversy more than anything

  • Says the American

  • He's in hell rn

  • It's basically the death note but less brutal

    Or maybe more brutal, depending how harsh the cancelling is

  • This gives another point- Jesus must have gotten the Y chromosome from the Holy Spirit, so the Holy Spirit must also be male. Referred to God the Father as "Father", too. So the whole Trinity is male, therefore the Christian God can't really be described as not Male.

  • Fair, one does not "win" an argument on the internet 🤣

  • LOL at your first point. It's 100% relevant. Christians don't even follow their own written set of values and morals, why should anybody respect them when they can't even do the things they're trying to get everybody else to do?

    Politicians do the same

    That morality would be okay as long as you still followed the LAWS of the society you live in.

    Laws are arbitrary, and it was law in Nazi germany not to employ Jewish people.

    I don't care what you believe so long as you aren't actually harming other people. So definitely not christian since they rape children and protect the rapists.

    Okay, so do broadcasters, teachers and police officers among others. Doesn't mean that all broadcasters and teachers condone rape nevermind do it themselves.

    You're right, christianity has NOTHING to do with science or medicine, which is a big part of the problem with it. Christians are the most anti-science group I can think of. You shouldn't be allowed to even use a computer based on your backwards ideologies. People who deny science shouldn't be allowed to benefit from it.

    So, taxi drivers, bus drivers, artists, etc shouldn't be able to benefit from medicine or science because they deny it apparently because their lifestyle has nothing to do with science? Catch a grip

    You've literally been brain washed to try to collect followers for a seat of power that you DON'T EVEN SIT IN.

    The Bible doesn't tell anyone how to vote.

    Probably a fucking republican too since you're so interested in working against the common good.

    I'd like to think I'd be sooner caught dead than being a republican

  • LDS Mormons aren't Arian, they are tritheist.

    Mormonism as well contains additional overriding scripture, like how Islam has the Qur'an in comparison with Christianity or how Christianity has the New Testament in comparison with old Judaism. Which seems make them separate religions, as all of these extra scriptures make the faiths significantly different from each other.

    All of these religions have God as the centrepoint (although LDS Mormonism could be less so due to it being polytheist)

    Yes, Mormonism puts a focus on a character called Jesus who's somewhat based on Jesus of Nazareth which Islam also does, but there's also a sect of Hinduism which does the same. Is this Christianity, too?

  • The Bible wasn't written with gendered pronouns. Although God did choose to become a man, so I think this justifies the He/Him pronouns

  • Muslims also view themselves within christianity, as true followers of a christ which they believe to not be God. They believe that Mohammed restored the true religion, similarly to how Mormons see Joseph Smith as restoring the true religion. The main difference is that Mormons are starting to now use the Christian label- which would be the same if a Christian started claiming to be Muslim (one who submits) or a Protestant using the label "Catholic" (Universal)(Which most mainline Protestants actually do). Doesn't mean they're the same religion as a Mohammed-following-Muslim or the same denomination as Roman Catholicism

  • What's the problem? Praying so people don't lose their job?

  • Most christians don't follow christian values anyway

    Irrelevant

    Your morality should be based on your perceptions of right and wrong, not what some dirty ass cave dweller from 2000 years ago thought was right.

    So if my perceptions were something horrible like believing in eugenics or zoophilia, that would be okay?

    Unfortunately too much lead got in the water and the air in the last century and destroyed the logic centers of so many peoples brains that even in an age of science and medicine you dipshits are still looking to sky daddy to make changes in your daily lives instead of leveraging all of human knowledge (available in your hand) to help you.

    Comparing apples and oranges. What has Christianity got to do with science and medicine? No idea where you got the thought that believing in Jesus of Nazareth being God was an alternative to these things.

  • The UK doesn't have "romeo and juliet" laws, but from what I hear, prosecutions for people who are close in age but one is over consent is rare
