Most have probably never read the Bible either.
Christians are like the least Christian people so I’m not surprised.
Is anyone even surprised? This seems very par for the course for religious extremists. A lot of Islamic extremists terrorists were previously things like Drug dealers or or such who rarely appeared at Mosques.
lovely. I haven’t met many of these people (probably because the place I go to interact with Christians is Church) but from rare experiences, trying to discuss theology with these people is often quite difficult. There was someone online, albeit from a different country, who joined a Christian group chat and had a vitriolic hatred of muslims. We kept trying to correct him on his behaviour, and then he ended up leaving (whatever his version was of) Christianity because we weren’t letting him have a vitriolic hatred of muslims.
Same here, in France. I read everywhere that Christians are nationalists hating LGBTQ people and women’s rights… most of the grey hairs on my church’s benches fought for the legalization of abortion (I criticised May 68 one day and was almost lynched), my pastor marries homosexuals and the president of my church (a woman, by the way) openly condemned Le Pen and her party.
But if I discuss with less active Christians, who I see only rarely or not at all (but send money once a year to our parish, they proudly say), the tone is very different.
okay that’s a bit far
It has been clear throughout scriptures that unborn lives matter and that murder is wrong due to people being created in the image of God
I get not hating lgbtq+ people - such a thing is wrong (You shall love your neighbour as yourself) but “marrying” homosexuals is not what this means…
Racism and misogyny is of course wrong as well, people are created in the image of God.
In my denomination/Church, we don’t permit these things for good reason. Because the Bible is the final authority. In fact, the Bible will always oppose popular society trends. If the Bible doesn’t offend you, you’re reading it wrong. That’s because of our sinful nature. So the Bible is anti racist and would have offended racists, same with greed, and then the cultural norms of today. It calls us to repent and convicts us of our sin. But at the same time, it’s not typically a Christian’s business what a non Christian does either (1 Corinthians 5:12-13) (Hence I have no issue with same-sex unions being legal on a civil/legal level)
I’ve noticed here in Australia as well. Our pastor hard that people were picking sides in the Israeli Palestinian Iranian war and he slapped it down in a sermon and told us that we were to love everyone with all our hearts.
But I’ve mentioned that I’m a church goer to people who don’t believe at all and they told me that Australia should be a Christian country. I’m not sure what value they see in Christianity, but I doubt it matches what I’ve been taught
It’s almost like their supposed beliefs aren’t sincerely held and they are nominally attaching themselves to that belief system to lend credibility to whatever they want to spread. This post is about MAGA, people with “legitimate concerns” about immigration while rioting and destroying livelihoods, and about these fucks.
Calling them Christians is insulting and I’m an atheist.
In-group vs out-group is all it is, modern day tribalism. And calling oneself a Christian patriot is nothing more than a less outspokenly racist way of idenitfying as a white supremacist.
They all know this, all of us here should know this, it’s the less politically knowledgeable white members of the public who don’t particularly know this, which are their main targets to bring to their movement
They just take what supports their ideology and ignore all the rest.
And to be honest, it’s actually quite a decent way of living. But then you also have to accept teachings from other religions as well as atheism. Otherwise you’re just a selfish cunt.

What a weird statement.
You’ve posted to say that women without kids should be restricted in the workplace.
Is this some new information war .ml is waging?

Probably just highlighting your antagonistic tendencies
Let’s also highlight that their account was created today, 4 hours ago, and has 1 post and 14 comments all within the last 3 hours (edited correction to 3 hours).
Unpleasant troll me thinks.
It informs intelligent users of your disgusting views about women. People can then check for themselves.

I did, you responded. Your views about women make you a significant concern.

You didn’t read my comments about your disgusting sexism, your views about women and your view that men need to take control to save society? Read first. Return when you understand.
Elaborate?
I’m actually kinda surprised. I figured people go to church to learn how to be racist. If you didn’t have a bunch of bigots around you telling you how to hate the other, you probably wouldn’t have that attitude. And fuck knows, Christians can certainly do bigotry proud.
I doubt most can read at all
What did you say?!
They’re taking the hobbits to Isengard
Alive. And unspoiled!
Most Christians probably have never read the Bible? Have you? I have and it’s… a challenge.
And Christians mostly follow the New Testament, btw, not the Bible.
When talking about Christianity, the Bible refers to both the old and new testament. And while Christians don’t typically follow the “laws” in the old testament, it is still a huge part of Christianity
I have little doubt that the percentage of atheists who’ve read the whole bible is significantly larger than the percentage of people who call themselves christians who have done so, and still larger than the percentage of them who’ve only read the new testament.
There’s a MEGA movement? Jeebus help us all
Let me correct your statement slightly.
“Most probably can’t read.”
