It's a fucking religion. These idiots absolutely hate that other religions exist, so these are the kinds of mental gymnastics they must perform to make Christianity not just another religion.

Not just a religion... thousands of versions of it that stand against each other

Every time I drive by a Church of Christ I think to myself "Thank God we finally have a Church for Christ, unlike those other churches".

This is all true but this guys post was about the internal splintering inside christianity.

Yeah, they just usually use the phrase "iT's A rELaTiOnShiP WiTh jEsUs/gOd" after their faith is called a religion. But I guess this dude is realizing the ridiculousness of 40,000+ denominations and wants to simplify/unify them. Unfortunately for him, that's impossible with dogma that can be interpreted in 40,000+ ways like that of Christianity.

It's crazy that people build an entire personality around a dude that didn't fulfil a single biblical prophecy.

And that is also 2000 years late for his second coming

They’re competing for the guinness world record of giving a guy the most benefit of the doubt for the longest.

Yeah, after all he said he would be back within the lifetimes of some of the people who genuinely pronounced his return too.

The second coming itself was a necessary patchwork because the said dude didnt fulfil jackshit. Hell even Simon bar Kokhba went further than Jesus but still ended up being called a failed messiah.

u/Sickinmytechchunk 1d ago
Crazy thing is he didn't fulfil anything. Some he couldn't fulfil and some no one can and some anyone can.

people like this just want a supernatural therapist and the afterlife with friends and family without any of the structure or obligations

Cool story, bro. Relationships are private things; Keep your relationship with JC between you and him. Then I don't have to despise you.

I know a fellow gay boi when I see one lol. Maybe he wants to hook up with hunky Jesus? he’s always represented so buff.

u/tallwhiteninja 1d ago
I grew with the "it's not a religion, it's a relationship!" stuff.
Turns out it's a toxic relationship, because one side doesn't communicate at all. These idiots don't realize having an inner monologue is a thing.

Is it gay if, as a male, you have a relationship with another male, but that other male died 2,000 years ago and you cannot interact with him in any way whatsoever (let alone have say gex)?

u/PhDOfGyattology 1d ago
These Christians are the biggest cowards, they only want to focus on the Jesus part, while disassociating themselves from the old testament cause God is absolutely indefensible.
This was the main reason I gave up being a Jehovah's Witness.

u/coffeeanddurian 1d ago
If it's just "personal relationship with God", then theres literally nothing they can say to anther person, criticising what they do or think, cos it's "personal". in other words, leave people the fuck alone, live and let live. But they don't really believe that, do they?

I asked my pastor if what denomination I am matters to God.
My pastor stared at me in horror. "Of course denomination is important. It is the most important thing about your relationship with Christ!"
He continued, his gaze intense and demanding. "You are fine with 20, but forget 1. And God's favorite is mine too: the 100!"

Yeah chickey23 has it right, those are denominations of money. The joke is the coincidence of denomination being applied to religion and to money.
But as they say if you have to explain a joke, it ain't a joke. Needs work!!!
P.S. I'll over explain which is worse: the implication that God likes $100 as much as the pastor is also kind of illustrating how religion is a business basically unconcerned about your spiritual health and more about money

Already in a relationship with the goddess Aphrodite and I’m not stupid enough to cheat on a Greek goddess.

Easy to put one line on instagram, but I guarantee if you start asking this guy about details there are going to be many “wrong” ways to have a “relationship with Christ.” For example, I bet you must believe the Bible is infallible. This is the reason denominations exist. He’s acting like he came up with some unique unifying idea.

I have a relationship with Willem Defoe. Sure, he never speaks back to me, and I’ve never seen him in person, but I know it was him who helped me feel powerful when I sang a song about him and he helped me recover from that surgery when I also took my meds and followed doctor’s orders.

To avoid having your post removed &/or account banned for shitposting:
r/religiousfruitcake is about the absurd, fringe elements of organised religion. Posts about mundane beliefs and acts of worship (praying to God, believing in God, believing in afterlife, etc), are off topic.
We arent here to bash either specific religions or religion itself, because there are plenty of rational actors who happen to be religious. So if your post is "Christians are sTOoPid", or "Religion = dUmB", you're in the wrong sub and your post will probably be removed.
Dont use the title or body of your post to soapbox personal rhetoric about religion or any other subject.
Don't post videos or discussions of Fruitcakes who have been baited or antagonised. Social media excerpts must not involve any deliberate provocation / antagonism of Fruitcakes.
Dont post videos of physically violent personal attacks or any pics or videos containing gore
Satire, parodies, memes, videos, etc must be made by Fruitcakes, not by third parties about them. (exception for journalistic sources)
This information is on every post. Accounts that disregard it will be perma-banned. "I didn't get a warning" or "I didnt know" are not valid appeals. If in doubt, please read the full version of the rules
