that's it? that's all you got?

this is turning out to be kind of... meh

I feel bad for you, bro. You logged in with such high hopes. Like that hyperlink to the Onion.

y'all are so serious i was just sharing some lols

:rofl:

She seems like a cafeteria Catholic to me. It's hard to define what you believe in when you don't adhere to doctrine. She might be a little confused about her beliefs, but who isn't from time to time?

but anyway I still think my point is pretty valid. There are a ton of obscure, vague, ambiguous things in the New Testament. Free of institutional authority telling you how to interpret every single line, someone could come up with something quite different than the ways in which Christianity is currently practiced by organized denominations... and they do. I think there are a lot of people who consider themselves Christians but reject institutional Christianity because they want to ******* ideas about gays not being doomed, other faiths having validity, or anything else important to them. Even people who subscribe to strict Church theologies tend to do a lot of picking and choosing. My girlfriend's parents are hardcore Catholics, but they are doctors and manage to rationalize sex before marriage and birth control.

"Women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the law says. If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church."[1 Cor. 14:34–35]

yeah, lots of churches reject that

but it's in the new testament. someone reading it in a vacuum and taking it seriously would then be worse off than someone in a modern christian church

actually i don't even think you're sticking to your original point anymore so nevermind

She is cherry picking, but there is nothing wrong with that. She can believe in Jesus, UFO's, Wicca, and Alchemy all at once if she pleases. I think you were unnecessarily rude to her. And when you are talking with a woman, allow her to finish her thoughts without jumping all over her and treating her as if she is ignorant.

what pictures

he deleted them

i'm sure you would have loved them though

maybe, maybe not. guess we will never know.

maybe, but the catholic church, which has existed in some form since pretty near the beginning of Christianity, horribly twists some of Jesus' teachings and ignores others. The New Testament also contradicts itself in many places. Interpretation is really powerful

guys lets all take for truth these words that have been translated and morphed in one 2000+ year old game of telephone, it couldn't be wrong.


soul safety valve, engage!

Who in the fuck are you arguing with?

I'm talking to the user I quoted, you 40 watt bulb. I'm not arguing with anyone

:rofl:

Everybody knows Christians contradict their own texts. What religion doesnt? How is this any kind of insight?

It's like quoting religion for dummies.

Does papa johns give anyone else horrible shits?

I paired it with taco bell today, huge mistake

nope

People are always going to contradict their own ideals. People are imperfect.

That's actually kind of the point of religion in a sense

if this is a response to me I am just going to take it as a sign that you did not read the the thread all the way through and thus do not understand the context of what eulogy and I were saying

RBG look what i found in the grocery store

why?!?!

RBG what is the point you are trying to make? Because people's accounts only line up 98% instead of 100% everything they're saying must be false?

If you interview 4 people who were at the twin towers during 9/11 I bet you'd get four slightly varying stories where people pay attention to and recall different details. Doesn't mean it didn't happen- in fact, it suggests there wasn't a conspiracy.

People who conspire and redact the record and "systematically destroy" opposing evidence have 100% synchronized stories... and people who don't know what they're talking about don't line up 98% of the time

i think its more important that a giant man in the sky sculpting us out of clay sounds like a fucking fairy tale

Have you ever heard of metaphor

its not art you idiot its a holy book

you can't have it both ways
