All the problems with Christianity

Post Reply New Topic

That's more or less my main problem with Christianity.

What do you think Christianity is?

" Its principal tenets are that Jesus is the Son of God (the second person of the Holy Trinity), that God's love for the world is the essential component of his being, and that Jesus died to redeem humankind."

That's Bullsh*t.

Sorry rhetorical question.

Jesus brought a way. No one was listening then and no one is listening now, for the most part.

He wasn't looking for attention or praise.

Spiritually evolved people work for others; that is a law of the Universe.

If you see one working for attention or praise; it ain't the real thing.

It was never about God it was about man.

This is how it works. Seriously. It's like a play where Jesus is the only one that knows what's going on and the rest of the cast are actors.

This is better than anything in the bible. Tim Rice was a real prophet.

I'm 'dead' serious it's no joke. The b*tch about it was the cast got to home and Jesus was left hanging on the Cross with no thank yous.

And here's a little treat. If you can read between the lines and screens; these guys are prophets too.

Logic is one of the central ways we can tell fact from fiction. Through deduction we can eliminate falsehood, and through induction we can determine which of a set of explanations is plausible.

If something cannot be determined by logic, then the question arises on how or whether any person trying to show discernment could legitimately believe this. When a scientist tries to find the truth, he uses reason. When a philosopher tries to make sense of a matter, he uses reason. When I am trying to figure out whether an advertisement is too good to be true, I use reason. So, for a particular belief to claim to have some special rules regarding whether we should regard it as true or not causes my BS sensors to perk up. Anybody can claim that their idea is "so special" that only certain rules apply, and because of that it seems like the perfect cover for shams. So, just like I would have to ask for any other truth claim, I think it's only right that it is asked that Christianity makes sense through reason. Intellectual fairness and integrity dictates that I treat this prospective belief like all of the others.

I can read text and see that all you use is reason. No offense but it is close to dead.

The full language of man is reflection of the Universe. It is not square it is spiral.

It is not even necessary to think about it, once you arrive at that level.

If and when you do, I will see it in your text.

I'm not trying to be a smart ass; I've done my homework.

I can switch off my spiral writing and make it square too. Moving into the same arena of logic only speaking. But this is much more pleasurable almost euphoric in nature. That is the reward, as one and now.

Christianity is not something one studies it is action; way. One can reflect on it but it is the doing that makes the results.

It's pretty simple; stay away from hate and judgement. Use your own true will and find your own way with gratitude for the gifts that others bring you on that way.

If one is lucky they will find them selves loving everyone in the entire Universe by the time they reach the end of life; understanding that the negative and the positive in life no matter how painful or pleasurable makes what is, is.

Adhere to hate and judgement and live in hell. That is a law of the Universe. It is the way that makes the difference.

To be clear I am just providing my opinion of how I see the teachings of the man Jesus.

I think a good example of exploring how the mind of man works like the rest of nature is in actual expression of the Universe in archetype of language as it is expressed in characters of language.

I was able to go to the beach for the first time in years because of an issue with eye pain, and looking at the waves standing trancing in front of me, I came to the realization that the shapes I have been making on my blog were a reflection in words of similar waves.

It's interesting how the shapes change depending on left or center justification views.

Before I went on a spiritual journey and found that bright white light, people referred to my expression of language as computer instead of human.

I really don't know if this would work the same way with others, but it was like a virtual light switch of communication was turned on somewhere in my brain, spirit or whatever...

That is only a small part of evidence that I find on that journey of empirical manifestation of that switch of mind.

The most amazing thing I saw in the word shapes were beautiful chalices when I talked about love that were not at all planned, and noticed until after written.

As a meaningful thing I shared it in the love and dating part of the site.

But, from an empirical manifestation in what the free archetype of mind can produce in language reflecting 'concrete' reality, it might be an interest for a look if you want to see it; it is called Autistic Love Letters. I am not going to leave more links but it is a first hit with quotation marks on Google.

What prophecy is 1) proven to be made in the claimed time period (as opposed to be made up after the fact) 2) cannot reasonably be guessed using the knowledge of the time 3) not self-fulfilling 4) falsifiable?

A book of fiction is supposed to be more pleasurable to read than a book of physics. Your point?

The main problem is intolerant fundamentalists,like the Westboros.I don't care about proving if there is a God or not, because you can't.

False: You claim to have done your homework, which you appear to have handed in to yourself for marking. The problem with this should be fairly obvious.

This combined with your other pretentious-seeming, quasi-mystical nonsense is the sole reason I have previously avoided responding to anything you have said.



This is devoid of generally accepted meaning. Spouting indecipherable lingo in an attempt to seem wise is self-defeating.



That would be more appropriate, yes. Though logic and flavour are not mutually exclusive.



The only way I can possibly interpret this is in the following manner:

"Haha, look at me using my immense wit and wisdom to show my superiority over these unenlightened fools who could never possibly understand THE TRUTH MAN!"

In other words, your euphoria can only be caused by a sense of smug superiority which, in this case, is wholly undeserved.

They're a nuisance, but I actually don't mind the Westboro 'church' that much because they aren't physically violent or aggressive in the way they express their beliefs. I would limit how far they could get to people's funerals though, so that people can grieve in peace. Otherwise, I'm not too bothered about the way they are with the public. I get the impression that the family environment is very unhealthy and abusive though.

Going by the reports of former members of the Phelps/WBC family though, it does seem like a very, very abusive environment in which to grow up. The experience of living in such an environment seems to have affected badly the apostates from that cult.

I'm actually more worried about other less well-known and more secretive and controlling religious cults in the U.S. than the WBC.

Having said that, I think if I were living in much of the U.S., I would despise - and perhaps even fear - homophobic, bigoted, aggressively divisive, proselytizing Christianity. I don't mention Christianity as much because Britain is largely a secular society (although some in authority seem determined to cater to the religious) where we have left all that crap behind. Somewhere like Utah looks like a hellhole for atheists.

he overweening and obnoxious form of Christianity is in my view more of a societal problem in the U.S. than any other religion - at least for the moment, although Islamic terrorism is more murderously violent.

LOL. Yeah.... I'm sure it is *so* close to dead. I'm not sure why I didn't see it's deadness before.


And the Universe is best described in a series of complicated mathematical equations.


Well, I'm sure it wouldn't be necessary to even think about the relentless leprechauns hunting after you if you were y'know, schizophrenic. Just because it's an intuitive mental state doesn't mean it's a sane mental state.


Oooh, nice experiment.


Interesting description. The question is what form of procedures will actually arrive at the best conclusions, which set will be of a nature where people can bet their lives, build their careers, and send astronauts to the moon? If mystics were good at developing technology, it'd be a very different world. If mystics could reliably find truth, we'd have a lot more religious unity.

Thank you...

Nope.

To be clear that means I saw it in your text. It is all one.
