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.
Huh.

Correction then: I practice Christianity.
There, all better.
I used to practice Christianity until high school. Then I figured I didn’t need to keep practicing anymore since I was already pretty good at it.
I think OP likely misspoke, but I have met plenty of people who would fall into the worshipping the religion (or the Bible) category.
The golden calf situation fascinates me because they didn’t call it a god, they said it was God. I think about the people and churches who make their own.

I was told that at the time the mental concept of God was that of a calf, and the universe was in its stomach, so it wasn’t that weird that they made a golden representation of him.
Imagine an all powerful being that requires constant praise.
This isn’t really an open ended question. This is a forum not simply a straw poll.
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.
Same to you!
No. The world is much more enjoyable and generally better without those irrational and dangerous beliefs in my mind.
I understand you conviction…all is good.
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.
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…
Nope.
Forgot to switch to the sock puppet account OP?
They likely intended to respond to the comment asking:
Ever hear of the Mune Shinri?
And accidentally commented on the main thread.
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?
I’m a Christian!
Hello there! God bless you!
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
go away
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?
Nah, more like He constructed me differently than other people: everyone is born different.
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.
