I think they have weekly meetings in a big building, but when I see them online all they talk about is trans and abortions.

I think a lot of the online conversation is just the Kremlin stoking culture wars.

Bob from Ohio is actually Yuri from St. Petersburg... or just KremlinGPT.

Imagine an all powerful being that requires constant praise.

I worship as a Christian regularly, yes.

Bless you, sir or ma’am. Good to know you believe as well and may God watch over you.

[-] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 9 points 9 months ago

This isn't really an open ended question. This is a forum not simply a straw poll.

[-] awwwyissss@lemm.ee 8 points 9 months ago

No. The world is much more enjoyable and generally better without those irrational and dangerous beliefs in my mind.

[-] VanHalbgott@lemmus.org 0 points 9 months ago

I understand you conviction…all is good.

[-] awwwyissss@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago

Same, I have nothing but good wishes for you, and I understand that most Christians do actually believe they're making the world a better place.

I hope some day you can open your mind and inspect your beliefs with unbiased reason, I don't think you'll regret it.

OP, I have perused your comment history and the following is a genuine question to you, and not sarcasm or an insult; I am legitimately curious what you think: do you think God made you born with autism as a punishment?

[-] Bluetreefrog@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Had a couple of reports about this comment, but I can see how it might be intended to not breach rule 1 and the authors comment history seems untoxic. I'll let it stand but it's line ball.

[-] VanHalbgott@lemmus.org 1 points 9 months ago

Nah, more like He constructed me differently than other people: everyone is born different.

[-] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 2 points 9 months ago

You might say I might, loosely speaking. Definitely not one of the "big" groups though, though Jesus is a large part of my life template.

Ever hear of the Mune Shinri?

[-] MarioSpeedWagon@lemm.ee 2 points 9 months ago

I’m a Christian!

[-] amio@kbin.social 1 points 9 months ago

I was "Christian", at least nominally. Didn't quite believe at 8 and not at all by 10, haven't seen any reason to go back to religion since then. Rather the opposite...

[-] lyth@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 months ago

No, and for my one-minute abridged defense:

  • Gen 1-2 definitely didn't happen and were written by two different groups with different religious views using two different creator-god names
  • Noah's Ark definitely didn't happen, and the story repeats itself all the time because it crushes together the Yahwist's and Elohist's writing in a manner especially suggestive of natural human authorship
  • New Testament claims that the human lineage is as young as is reported in Gen 2 (Luk 3:38) and has Jesus - presumably the same entity as God - suggest multiple times in two gospels that the great flood was a real event

That's about enough to deconvert already, and it keeps getting worse the deeper you take things

Forgot to switch to the sock puppet account OP?

[-] LopensLeftArm@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

They likely intended to respond to the comment asking:

Ever hear of the Mune Shinri?

And accidentally commented on the main thread.
