Most have probably never read the Bible either.

Is anyone even surprised? This seems very par for the course for religious extremists. A lot of Islamic extremists terrorists were previously things like Drug dealers or or such who rarely appeared at Mosques.

Calling them Christians is insulting and I'm an atheist.

I'm actually kinda surprised. I figured people go to church to learn how to be racist. If you didn't have a bunch of bigots around you telling you how to hate the other, you probably wouldn't have that attitude. And fuck knows, Christians can certainly do bigotry proud.

Most Christians probably have never read the Bible? Have you? I have and it's... a challenge.

And Christians mostly follow the New Testament, btw, not the Bible.

When talking about Christianity, the Bible refers to both the old and new testament. And while Christians don't typically follow the "laws" in the old testament, it is still a huge part of Christianity

I have little doubt that the percentage of atheists who've read the whole bible is significantly larger than the percentage of people who call themselves christians who have done so, and still larger than the percentage of them who've only read the new testament.

Let me correct your statement slightly.

"Most probably can't read."

They just take what supports their ideology and ignore all the rest.

And to be honest, it's actually quite a decent way of living. But then you also have to accept teachings from other religions as well as atheism. Otherwise you're just a selfish cunt.

It's almost like their supposed beliefs aren't sincerely held and they are nominally attaching themselves to that belief system to lend credibility to whatever they want to spread. This post is about MAGA, people with "legitimate concerns" about immigration while rioting and destroying livelihoods, and about these fucks.

Christians are like the least Christian people so I'm not surprised.

They also probably think jesus is white

They think St George was British

English, he was English!!

What are you talking about? Next thing you're going to say he wasn't blond and blue-eyed?

I gotta say, of all the Jesuses, Korean Jesus is my favorite. Bro is ripped for your sins

Swole Jesus deliver us from the temptation to skip leg day!

More of a smith's build than a carpenter's, though, I think...

He might have been, those features aren’t unheard of in that part of the world. My Greek husband was born with blond hair and has green eyes, his parents have blue eyes. He probably wasn’t, but even a minority of Palestinians are blonde.

Must have been an aryan in the woodpile.

But he did speak English and have a crucifix on a chain around his neck, right?

Ok, seeing as you mentioned the crucifix thing let's talk about why Adam and Eve have belly buttons

So we’re just glossing over Adam banging his own female clone then?

That's getting discussed tomorrow

bro, no spoilers

Obviously. And he loved shooting his AR-15.

Matthew Jesus best Jesus.

lovely. I haven't met many of these people (probably because the place I go to interact with Christians is Church) but from rare experiences, trying to discuss theology with these people is often quite difficult. There was someone online, albeit from a different country, who joined a Christian group chat and had a vitriolic hatred of muslims. We kept trying to correct him on his behaviour, and then he ended up leaving (whatever his version was of) Christianity because we weren't letting him have a vitriolic hatred of muslims.

Same here, in France. I read everywhere that Christians are nationalists hating LGBTQ people and women's rights… most of the grey hairs on my church's benches fought for the legalization of abortion (I criticised May 68 one day and was almost lynched), my pastor marries homosexuals and the president of my church (a woman, by the way) openly condemned Le Pen and her party.

But if I discuss with less active Christians, who I see only rarely or not at all (but send money once a year to our parish, they proudly say), the tone is very different.

I doubt most can read at all

What did you say?!

They're taking the hobbits to Isengard

Alive. And unspoiled!

In my experience most Christians try to sellout their own kind to appease the non-believers

You've posted to say that women without kids should be restricted in the workplace.

Is this some new information war .ml is waging?

What does that have to do with the comment that I made here?

It informs intelligent users of your disgusting views about women. People can then check for themselves.

Well take that up in the other thread then

I did, you responded. Your views about women make you a significant concern.

What are you concerned about exactly?

You didn't read my comments about your disgusting sexism, your views about women and your view that men need to take control to save society? Read first. Return when you understand.

Probably just highlighting your antagonistic tendencies

Unpleasant troll me thinks.

What a weird statement.

Elaborate?
