Humans are inherently spiritual beings. You cannot escape if you tried. If you don’t follow a religion, then there is probably something else in your life to fill that void.

That said, the idea that you cannot be a critical thinker and in touch with your spirituality is non sense. Consume less anti-religious propaganda

Um obvious f***ing ly

A fundamentalist believes in the strict, literal interpretation of scripture in a religion. That’s literally the complete backward way to think about any religion and causes much of the problems that stem from modern religions.

If you deny beliefs because you think they are irrational, that is not real faith.

nope, i would love to find a girl who was naïve and pure like that... the world is so f***ed up, I think it's nice some people can find happiness through text.

I would never judge a person, unless they are Mormons, f*** them

Where is sexism and racism in the Bible. Don’t bring up the slavery verse because biblical slavery is vastly different from the slavery we know today. And the Bible never ONCE says to no respect and love gays and minorities. It’s time to stop peddling this bs

"where is sexism in the bible" are you being fr

I have seen the lowest of low, and walked down the darkest of paths, I am extremely unhappy, and very jealous of people who find solace in religion.

I wish I could find inner peace through faith. Plus, whatever people want to say badly about religion, it does give people purpose and they generally have good family values...

I dont know a simple life seems very nice.

Religion, Small town living, family life... all things I don't think I'll ever have but they are nice thoughts.

No

The time period that OT takes place in is a time where sexism is a social norm. Has nothing to do with biblical faith. Recognizing gender roles and the differences between the two genders is not sexist. Nowhere in the Bible does it tell us to discriminate against women

Black people are the real Hebrew Israelites

ya my cousins are like this and they’re annoying af w their false sense of righteousness

worst part is they’re not even decent people they just absolve themselves of any guilt/shame they deserve to feel cuz they read the bible!

I doubt they’re really reading their Bible if they carry themselves like that.

I never said that. Quite the opposite, accepting your beliefs while admitting they can’t be rationalized or proven.

i dont even really believe the bible, but some s*** actually blew my mind and made me hit the

like when God banished Lucifer, guess where he sent him... Earth

idk that s*** made think and i still think about it ever since i first realized it

Ok I see

depends on the text.

Indeed. Lucifer the deceiver runs this Earth.

Nah they reading it fr they just don’t implement the teachings into their day to day lives. Their ‘devotion to god’ is very self serving its like they read it just to have some peace of mind & believe they won’t go to hell even tho they’re spiteful ass people

(im christian aswell & i kno not everyone who reads the bible is like that, my cuzins are just slow af)

I generally agree with your posts but all Holy Books have some truly outlandish stuff that shouldn’t be taken out of the context of its respective time period bro. Some of the verses seem... “WTF?” But only when taken OUT of context from the time period it was said in, + under which situation. You shouldn’t deny that it wasn’t said though. And I say this as a proud believer in God.

Tell them faith without works is dead.
