A General Thread About Christianity

Post by Carlos J »

As the 'US Presidential Race' thread is continously being sidetracked, feel free to debate all aspects of Christianity here. As per, debate the post not the poster and play the ball not the man. Other clichés are available.

In my experience folks who are close to God just know stuff and kind of whisper it : They have given up fighting everyone and everything. They are right sized folks who could not give a shit about politics.
You have to observe them really because they say very little .. usually they do good quietly in a small way and expect fuckall in return ever !

All the Christians I know are pedantic generally .. they over complicate simple stuff and spend hours analysing a simple fucking paragraph in the bible. It wasn't meant to be a brain teaser .. it fucking said 'Jesus called two locals to him' .. that's what it fucking means .. he got off his fucking donkey in the fucking village and called a couple of herberts over to him .. that's what fucking happened end of.

Listen up .. he said 'those who came last will be let in first' .. summink like that. It's a piece of fucking piss .. IF you were keeping your head down and NOT bursting your bollocks to be given the keys of the kingdom you WILL be first. Are folks fucking stupid ???

That's what it fucking means !!!!

Fucking near death experiences, Jehovahs witnesses .. all that malarky
You were lost and now you are found .. do not be a cunt all your life.

That's about it !

I have no problems with people believing in any faith as a guideline for how to live your life.

The trouble with pretty much all religions is they have been manipulated to suit adgendas.

On balance, I feel the concept of religion is something that causes more harm than good.

I have a degree of spirituality about me, but I don't really need to believe in anything.

Are you saying that mention of Christianity is to be restricted to this thread ?
As we can already see , it will be used to attack Christianity rather than discuss it.
Religious beliefs , or their absence, are not and cannot be separated from other beliefs or opinions since they are the basis of what informs these opinions.
Christianity is certainly a very big part of the Presidential race, so why should it be excluded from the debate here ?
Christians will tend to vote for Donald Trump because they oppose abortion and support free will, and both these policies and opinions are based are based in the Christian religion.
Wilileaks has revealed that Hitlerry wants to destroy the Catholic Church.
The subject of Christianity is therefore a direct part of and issue in, the election.

Will you be restricting other groups , such as Moslems or socialists, to their own thread ?

Of course It's all a load of bronze age nonsense written by goat herders but most Christians I know are decent enough people.

Very gullible though, obviously.

I'm sure that you and others are quite delighted to have your own thread to take shots at Christians.
If you were to make a list of devout Christians through history and a list of atheists , you would perhaps see which side of the line most IQ points fall.
Why don't you pop down to your local mosque and insult them instead ?
I think I know the answer.

Being an atheist didn't go down too well back in the old days, Christians weren't as tolerant back then.

And don't get me started on Islam, that is the devil's religion.

Do you love Jesus?

Not really.

This may sound trucullent, but I would be far more inclined to believe in older religions from around the world than what we have developed "Jesus" into.

Which is my point.

I have a level of faith, but not what others tell me, or expect from me.

My faith is mine,it's not something I can use to justify the things I do or don't do; it's not something that I feel I can use as a get out of jail free card. if there is something else then I will be o.k.

Sumarian texts are interesting.

But because I don't necessarily believe in other peoples interpretation of Jesus, I hope doesn't mean I'm condemed to an afterlife of hell.

I have lived my life so far pretty good.


I guess what I am trying to say is I don't need something that has been maniuplated and sculpted to tell me what is right or wrong.

People over many centuries are determined to have a level of control over me and you.

I control me.

I agree with Royals that there ought to be no restriction on religion in the Presidential thread .. it's also really heartening to see the tolerance generally at least on there for such posts imo. So fair play to this forum !
On this thread I'd like to ask folks how they found God eg Rossco

There are spiritual principles around love, behaviour and tolerance that when practised always gives the strongest sense of a power greater than any human. Well folks find their own proof and some even have an understanding of it. It can be real easy to get offended and defensive when that is dismissed and ridiculed but allowing yourself to react to that is directly opposed to that faith in the first place. Hard but true.

I don't get why a devout Christian would care less who is elected anywhere or whether Britain is in or out of the EU though. If it's all playing out as prophecised what does it even matter ? I mean it makes no sense to me why straightforward 'socialism' is described by Royals as 'Satanic' .. that's like mind boggling and ridiculous.

And I was talking to a Muslim fella and he actually said that it's better to be atheist than to believe Jesus is the son of Allah. And he said to never joke about Allah .. well like fuck off. The problem is when folks start to believe they KNOW more than it is humanly possible. In this life there will always be more huge massive questions than answers .. eg ask any real practising spiritual person of any persuasion what/who God is and they plain don't know. Just that there is a force and that it is without a doubt benign .. even I know that. Most of them can't bring themselves to say that mind cos they're only human and it's not natural to mind appearing daft. It's why it's a piece of piss to be an atheist .. although it's also very incorrect imho .. heh !

You don't have to believe in any God to recognise the globalist agenda and the corporate media as inherently plain malevolent or that New Labour and the BBC were/are anything but socialist .. or that political correctness is a fucking disgrace .. or that Communism can be corrupted by cunts. And it's important to see where religion gets stuff right.
But I don't get it's significance re the US election in all fairness. If you believe in the bible and a Christian God why is it important that Donald Trump is elected ?

So how did folks come to believe is what I'm interested in is all tbf. Not that it's any of my business but if you don't ask and that.
