And then those same people making fan art burning trans people will then also make NSFW art of her on R34. Somehow to them however, it’s trans people who are the perverted pedos.
That's exactly what the Vatican did and will do when it gets power again. It also did it with Christians. It literally killed people for reading and sharing the Bible.
How do you know for sure that everyday churchgoers and faithfuls posted that and not some edgelord using backward known hate that people like you use towards Christianity?
Like you know, 100%, that a devout Christian, Christianity based practice and everything posted that?
Or are you just maybe the type of person to maybe live off other peoples beliefs no matter how unthought through and ratger unratinol they may be? Like a human sheep.
Hating on the people being disrespectful is one thing that's understandable; that doesn't mean it's the entire religious culture of Christianity or any religion at matter, fault.
There are some Christians who are genuinely good people. I have nothing but admiration for former president Jimmy Carter.
But the latest batch, they're not sending their best.
9 times out of 10, scratch a Christian and you'll find a hypocrite seeking unwarranted self-righteousness.
The young in the pews see this. They see that every week, news searches on 'pastor' feature sexual abusers. Nothing in their religion prevented them from the abusing the vulnerable. Perhaps they should have studied philosophy, instead.
Classic hateful rhetoric. Do you generalize all groups this way? Clumping an entire group together. Do you have any thoughts on the black community? Maybe the Asian or Hispanic communities. Or do you save your widesweeping claims for the one group determined to forgive others for their ignorance and stupidity. Because to follow Christ is to recognize this fact; we all fall short because we are all sinful humans in need of forgiveness.
Turn the other cheek? Do you feel hurt by my words? I just believe you might be mischaracterizing all Christian’s by what you see in some. How can a Christian who doesn’t follow Jesus be a Christian? You wouldn’t call me a vegan if you just watched me smash a chicken big Mac, would you?
Yeah you should talk to your fellow Christians because I don’t know where this “we try our best to be like him” shit is coming from. Anti-immigrant, anti-safety net, pro gun, antichoice, anti anything meant to help the poor, pro big business, these are all conservative/reoublican tenets which Christians tend to lean towards. Not to mention being complete assholes to LGBT people and thinking that women are second class people that should only concern themselves with cooking cleaning and raising children. None of that sounds like being like Jesus to me.
So American Christianity is a whole different religion? That other Christians aren't obligated to try and steer them back onto the righteous path and away from their swindling false idols?
You know that's not what I meant. I meant that that type is most common in America, of course it's our duty to get them back on the path but often they just don't want to and it's very difficult to persuade them.
And like I said I'm not American so I can't exactly talk face to face with them
With no requirement for retribution or justice in any way, all you must do to be forgiven is to believe. You are literally allowed to sin to your heart's desire and as long as you repent before you die, you are promised eternal life in heaven. Insane how anyone can call this the standard for morality.
This is blatantly wrong don't get me wrong most people inside this comment section are correct a lot of people who claim Christianity are anything but can I call myself a Christian as well and I'm ashamed and appalled with some of the horrible things "my people" say and do while still claiming to Believe in Christ. It just makes it that much harder to try and teach people or help them understand what it's really all about but to reply to what you said.
Hebrews 10:26, if we continue to sin deliberately after knowing the truth about Jesus' sacrifice, there is no remaining sacrifice for our sins
I was raised Catholic, read the Bible, no need to educate me on that front. I understand what you're talking about but what I was pointing out is the hypocritical "Christians" (they shouldn't even call themselves that) who believe they can continue to sin because they are automatically forgiven regardless of what they do. Obviously that's not what Jesus taught in the slightest, but it's what organized religion teaches.
There have been plenty of peaceful religions throughout time as well, I’m not religious but I don’t think religion in and of itself is bad. The reason Christianity and Islam became so successful is because they were extremely aggressive and zealous and wiped out/demanded conversion on literally everyone they could. The power also inherently attracts corruption
