pretty sure he'd be a lot more horrified by the fact that almost no so-called christian in all of history has actually lived by his ideals and teachings.
I am 100% sure that the bible and every religious text we have has been altered so much that they barely resemble the original work at all. Therefore even if you go to church you are not worshiping God but the churches bastardise version of God.

Paying tithe is a choice. A very dumb choice.
Yes basically. The contents of the current Bible were selected and filtered by a council of romans, who chose whatever texts aligned better to their own agendas and discarded the rest of the scriptures.
that's not a protestant church
every time christians do anything stupid every single sect go >lmao protestants are so moronic >lmao catholics are so moronic >lmao the orthedox are so moronic
you are all the same in trying to shame and blame eachother while claiming that you are the TRUE christianity unlike those other stupid sects who are making christianity look bad.
If you weren't moronic you'd realize that there actually is a correct Christianity, The orthedox church never do embarrassing shit like this and was left with carrying and preserving Christianity according to gods will.

Yeah I think the Orthodox are miles better than the other churches. Because the Orthodox Christians understand that the Church is the body of Christ and that no matter what a few schismatic groups do, compromised priests and bishops does not mean God does not stop working through the Church, whereas Catholics and Protestants are constantly revising their views because their faulty dogmas are built on a house of cards (papal infallibility, sola scriptura, sola fide, vaitcan II, etc).
doesn't the orthodox church bless like missiles and aks and shit when putin sends the ziggers off to the meat grinder. I mean if that's not a dumb LARP then I don't know what is.

The problem with protestants is that having no centralized dogma means they fall for complete bullshit. People are sheep and led astray easily.
Dostoyevski made fun of that moronic belief. Catholics also have a bizarre obsession with bones and remains but not to that extent.
Meanwhile every Slavic church in the Balkans and now Russia has condoned the ethnic cleansing of their Orthodox neighbors at some point.
Autocephaly looks like an elegant compromise between letting any moron use the title of a preacher and the extreme centralization of Catholicism but they just ended up becoming literal puppets of monarchs and mobs.
They understand it because they read it rather than having a priest tell them what to think

That'a true, but that's also why they reserve scriptural interpretation and preaching to priests that are required to read and learn about the Bible. Protestants have the issue where the blind will lead the blind, and everyone thinks it's fine. Not all, but it is common.
One of the problems with many Protestant American churches is that they really aren't biblically literate. America has cultivated anti-intellectualism for centuries, by nature of not having an aristocracy, formalized priest-class (like the UK's Lords Spiritual), and ostensibly being a democracy where everyone gets one vote. In its healthy form, this means people value the opinion of your average uneducated person and will judge his/her arguments based on merit. In its worst form, this means people simply hate those who are more educated without listening to them. It's part of why Americans generally have such a hard time accepting opinions from educated specialists and bureaucrats. The anti-intellectualism also impacts religion, heavily. Many American churches make a point of having pastors and preachers with no formal education. Rather than having attended seminary and developing a deep understanding of scripture, he will just be some guy that speaks well. So when challenging messages come up in scripture, like how there are hundreds of condemnations of the misuse and worship of wealth, they either skip them or give a heretical interpretation to placate their church body. Catholic churches are somewhat less susceptible to this because of their rigid hierarchy and formalized requirements for priests. The same is true of certain Protestant denominations, but most churches in the US do not have any such rigor or belong to a denomination at all.

cant imagine all the malding yuropoops who sit in crumbling hellscape churches self-flagellating while suffering without a/c (they haven't discovered the technology).
I live near this church. It's Prestonwood Baptist in Plano, TX (suburb in north Dallas). They embody most of the terrible problems with the current form of white protestant American Christianity. There are some good honest people that attend, but the place has been run by the mega-wealthy that attend it for years. Basically some rich people withhold their donations unless they get their way, and the church leadership caves every time because if the money ever stopped coming, they would have to massively downsize their campus and let staff go. This is the same church that scummy politicians "attend" as well. For how wealthy this church is, they do comparatively little to help the community around them. For example, I know of another much smaller church in the same city that has a clinic providing free healthcare (with actual real doctors and shit) to people, among other things.
Huh, it IS the Baptidome.
I used to go to Bent Tree (across the street). Even though Bent Tree was a huge church (and I assume still is) I remember thinking Prestonwood was wild even when I was younger.
They would just quote Jesus talking to Judas saying, "You will always have the poor, but you will not always have me," as a way of defending their gross expenditures. They ignore that this a single line from Jesus criticizing Judas, who He knew was being duplicitous anyway, about how the focus should be on Jesus's death and resurrection rather than simply doing good works, and that it stands among literally thousands of verses warning about money.
It's funny how Jesus very clearly states rich people are as likely to get to heaven as a camel fitting through a needle eye, but "christians" still give religious leaders piles of money they use for mansions and private jets
People bend over backwards to justify it. I grew up Southern Baptist and sat in several sermons from different speakers that claimed the "eye of the needle" was actually the name of a gate in Jerusalem, and that camels had to get down on their knees and crawl forward to get through it. This is meant to say, "No, see, rich people can get into heaven just fine if they get on their knees and pray!" It's been debunked as bullshit by several different people since I used to hear it a lot back then, but I'll never forget how it was said to me from the pulpit with such matter-of-factness.

Religion literally does nothing to stop OR promote evil.
Attila was perfectly happy barreling down Europe, and I bet it wasn't because great Tengri willed it or whatever. Don't pretend that the "average person" back then were all literal paragons either, that they had the "modern" ideals and morality we have now.
Now imagine an average peasant from middle ages - with no religion to hold him back from murdering and raping everyone around him.
At least modern times have television, games and porn to keep people like that pacified.
Crusaders were perfectly happy literally wading knee-deep in infidel blood despite being the "good guys". Don't pretend it was all that moral, or that all of them were moral. Even the ones that were, or tried to, eventually fell to misinterpretation, "watering down", and/or eventual corruption.
All religion was, was an early phase in human morality. Not until the enlightenment ideals did we actually bother to finish the commandments from "killing is le bad" to "killing infidels ALSO le bad".

The idea that average peasant was this psycho maniac who only didn't rape and kill because he was afraid of god is really tiring. This is what "knowledge" based on hollywood movies and popular culture does to society.
Nice strawman, but no. I don't think christianity was the culprit behind the dark ages or significantly worse that greco-roman paganism, but it didn't improve things either and has been dragged kicking and screaming over every advance in society for hundreds of years now.

Orgies probably arent as bad as actively encouraging civil war in your own country.
Christian Europe was objectively better than atheist Europe, the church acted as a societal glue. Most people are sheep and need some moral authority to tell them not to be selfish, degenerates or dickheads. Whether god and all that actually exists or not is secondary.
No, society always ends up regulating itself one way or another through natural selection and conflicts. Church is not necessary and actually prevents society from sanitizing itself.
You still had selfish, degen dickheads back then. They just knew how to hide it better, were highway bandits or corrupt nobility. That's without getting into all the moronic wars the common man had to fight for said nobility keeping population numbers in check too.
fpbp
We are social animals and the vast majority of us are naturally inclined to care about each other, we don't need religion to be good in the present world where resources abound. However the psychos who are willing to step on good people tend to rise to power and that's how we get stuck into meaningless conflicts.
I'm pretty sure Dawkins honestly believes there is a mindless force that will prevent entropy from reigniting creation after the universe's end even as science makes the idea as dated as string theory.
this is the most moronic cattle take ever.
Atheism is the ultimate control tool, every single dictatorship promotes atheism. Atheist "people" are barely even human they are literally cattle bred for taxation
you can believe in god and not take the word of a bunch of con artists as fact. or do you think your relationship with god only comes down to that, believing everything some guy told you? very cattle like behavior tbh

>THERE WAS NO RELIGION IN AMERICA BEFORE THE RED SCARE!!!!
Debunked reddit cope. America has always been Christian
>For several decades, beginning when the federal government moved to Washington in the fall of 1800, the Capitol building was used for Sunday religious services as well as for governmental functions. The first services were conducted in the "hall" of the House in the north wing of the building. In 1801 the House moved to temporary quarters in the south wing, called the "Oven", which it vacated in 1804, returning to the north wing for three years. Then, from 1807 to 1857, they were held in the then-House Chamber (now called Statuary Hall). When held in the House chamber, the Speaker's podium was used as the preacher's pulpit. According to the U.S. Library of Congress exhibit Religion and the Founding of the American Republic:
>It is no exaggeration to say that on Sundays in Washington during the administrations of Thomas Jefferson (1801-1809) and of James Madison (1809-1817) the state became the church. Within a year of his inauguration, Jefferson began attending church services in the House of Representatives. Madison followed Jefferson's example, although unlike Jefferson, who rode on horseback to church in the Capitol, Madison came in a coach and four. Worship services in the House--a practice that continued until after the Civil War--were acceptable to Jefferson because they were nondiscriminatory and voluntary. Preachers of every Protestant denomination appeared. (Catholic priests began officiating in 1826.) As early as January 1806 a female evangelist, Dorothy Ripley, delivered a camp meeting-style exhortation in the House to Jefferson, Vice President Aaron Burr, and a "crowded audience." Throughout his administration Jefferson permitted church services in executive branch buildings. The Gospel was also preached in the Supreme Court chambers.

>The earliest recorded usage of the motto in English was in January 1748, when the Pennsylvania Gazette reported on the colours of Associators regiments, namely that of Benjamin Franklin's Pennsylvania militia, one of which said: "IX. A Coronet and Plume of Feathers. Motto, In God we Trust."[19][20][21] According to Thomas S. Kidd, an American historian, this appears to be an isolated instance of an official usage, which could be traced to some renderings of Psalm 56:11.[22]
>Later, in 1814, Francis Scott Key composed and published a poem entitled "Defence of Fort M'Henry". In the fourth verse, Key's published version of the poem includes the line, "And this be our motto-'In God is our trust!'"[23] Key's poem would later be adopted as the national anthem of the United States under the title "The Star-Spangled Banner" and serve as one of the arguments to include the motto on the currency. When 'In God We Trust' was under consideration to be adopted as the national motto of the United States by the U.S. Congress, the words of the fourth verse of Key's poem were brought up in arguments supporting adoption of the motto.[24]
>While the earliest mentions of the phrase can be found in the mid-18th century, the origins of this phrase as a political motto lie in the American Civil War, where Union supporters wanted to emphasize their attachment to God and to boost morale.[7] The capitalized form "IN GOD WE TRUST" first appeared on the two-cent piece in 1864;[8]

The abandonment of religion leading to a worsening society only proves why religions exist in the first place.

the only contrarians on this site are the people who converted to christianity purely just to spite the current secular/agnostic zeitgeist
to be nonreligious or even atheist is pretty standard in the west
You do realize most people are still religious even now right? Even Gen Z is more religious than millennials who where the biggest dip on faith, and obviously boomers and gen x are also more likely to be religious, being religious isn't a contrarian stance, being an atheist is
that's why I said the secular/agnostic zeitgeist and not the atheist zeitgeist. Yeah, lots of people will answer surveys with dumb vague answers like "uh yeah I think there's like something out there, man" but these same people don't go to church, they don't pray, they don't observe any christian rituals or traditions, or the rituals and traditions of any faith for that matter, and most importantly, they don't conform their actions to their religious beliefs. Their "religiosity" amounts to a superstition that there's a man in the sky who watches them sometimes, but they don't even care enough to try and please this thing.
To actually be truly religious is to be the contrarian. It's fine to be like that, but don't stand on a mountain of fairweather believers and talk down to others when you could wake up one day and find yourself completely alone and getting talked down to by the atheists. The golden rule and all that.
This just sounds like you're trying to talk around the fact most people are religious by going on about the semantics involved on whether or not believing in something is enough to be considered religious, which is an entire debate in on itself. The point being, regardless of all that, acting like an 14 year old atheist sperg is absolutely being a contrarian by definition
You're the one contrarian here, acting against the population HERE. Then you try to apeal to argument ad populum out of all the people in some thirdistan countries with no Internet access, which is just pathethic.
>The point being, regardless of all that, acting like an 14 year old atheist sperg is absolutely being a contrarian by definition
you can keep saying this, but it's literally just not true. Atheist fedoralords are a just a manifestation, albeit a very extreme one, of the current spiritual zeitgeist, they aren't a departure or a deviation from the normal in any way. Christians are a niche subculture that is divergent from the rest of society.
In basically every setting I've been in in my life, school, university, work, around friends and family, etc., remarks from others expressing religious skepticism is somewhat common, and rarely gives anyone pause. Open shows of religiosity are usually dismissed or scoffed at.
Basically, Steve from the office says "heh, christians are dumb," no one bats an eye. But someone brings up the bible and everyone looks at them side-eyed, even when those people are themselves christian. Nominally, anyway.
An atheist fedoralord integrates back into the fabric of society much easier than does a zealous christian. That's exactly why the adoption rate of christianity is so high amongst disaffected loner males on the internet.
Video games are made by nerdy atheists who are still salty that their parents made them go to church when they were a kid. That's why you constantly hear about "Catholic preist rapes" like it's an absolute epidemic, meanwhile public schools have a WAY higher rate of child molestation, and yet no one views your average school teacher as a rapist. They just want to make the church look as evil as possible so they can justify hating it for having to waste an hour on sunday that they otherwise would have spent smoking weed or jerking off.
I mean, in fairness, only 30% of american catholics go to church, and of those 30%, probably a fraction of those are kids. Contrast this to the fact that, except for homeschooling, every child in america is forced to attend public school. There's literally just more opportunities for predation to occur in schools than anywhere else. That doesn't necessarily mean that the risk of any one individual child being molested at a school is greater than being raped at a catholic church.
I'm assuming that the individual risk of being raped by a priest is greater than the risk of being raped by a schoolteacher, but that is just me guessing. What is definitely the truth though is that the catholic church attempted to suppress evidence of molestation, which makes them complicit in child rape. Compare this to public schools where teachers get fired on the mere suspicion of untoward contact with minors.
Judaism and its derivatives (Christianity and Islam in particular) are the worst catastrophe to have befallen human knowledge since the earliest written records.

Final Fantasy 13 is about fighting in line, this dictator god always gets his will done until...

Making Lighting the strongest FF protagonist bar none, not even Noctis did a feat this big. Too bad her games suck lol.

>Prohibition was an important force in state and local politics from the 1840s through the 1930s. Numerous historical studies demonstrated that the political forces involved were ethnoreligious.[46] Prohibition was supported by the dries, primarily pietistic Protestant denominations that included Methodists, Northern Baptists, Southern Baptists, New School Presbyterians, Disciples of Christ, Congregationalists, Quakers, and Scandinavian Lutherans, but also included the Catholic Total Abstinence Union of America and, to a certain extent, the Latter-day Saints. These religious groups identified saloons as politically corrupt and drinking as a personal sin. Other active organizations included the Women's Church Federation, the Women's Temperance Crusade, and the Department of Scientific Temperance Instruction. They were opposed by the wets, primarily liturgical Protestants (Episcopalians and German Lutherans) and Roman Catholics, who denounced the idea that the government should define morality.[47] Even in the wet stronghold of New York City there was an active prohibition movement, led by Norwegian church groups and African-American labor activists who believed that prohibition would benefit workers, especially African Americans.
>"My fellow Americans: Last night, when I spoke with you about the fall of Rome, I knew at that moment that troops of the United States and our allies were crossing the Channel in another and greater operation. It has come to pass with success thus far.
>And so, in this poignant hour, I ask you to join with me in prayer:
>Almighty God: Our sons, pride of our Nation, this day have set upon a mighty endeavor, a struggle to preserve our Republic, our religion, and our civilization, and to set free a suffering humanity.
>Lead them straight and true; give strength to their arms, stoutness to their hearts, steadfastness in their faith.
>They will need Thy blessings. Their road will be long and hard. For the enemy is strong. He may hurl back our forces. Success may not come with rushing speed, but we shall return again and again; and we know that by Thy grace, and by the righteousness of our cause, our sons will triumph.
>They will be sore tried, by night and by day, without rest-until the victory is won. The darkness will be rent by noise and flame. Men's souls will be shaken with the violences of war.
>For these men are lately drawn from the ways of peace. They fight not for the lust of conquest. They fight to end conquest. They fight to liberate. They fight to let justice arise, and tolerance and good will among all Thy people. They yearn but for the end of battle, for their return to the haven of home.
>Some will never return. Embrace these, Father, and receive them, Thy heroic servants, into Thy kingdom.
>And for us at home -- fathers, mothers, children, wives, sisters, and brothers of brave men overseas -- whose thoughts and prayers are ever with them--help us, Almighty God, to rededicate ourselves in renewed faith in Thee in this hour of great sacrifice.
>Many people have urged that I call the Nation into a single day of special prayer. But because the road is long and the desire is great, I ask that our people devote themselves in a continuance of prayer. As we rise to each new day, and again when each day is spent, let words of prayer be on our lips, invoking Thy help to our efforts.
>Give us strength, too -- strength in our daily tasks, to redouble the contributions we make in the physical and the material support of our armed forces.
>And let our hearts be stout, to wait out the long travail, to bear sorrows that may come, to impart our courage unto our sons wheresoever they may be
>And, O Lord, give us Faith. Give us Faith in Thee; Faith in our sons; Faith in each other; Faith in our united crusade. Let not the keenness of our spirit ever be dulled. Let not the impacts of temporary events, of temporal matters of but fleeting moment let not these deter us in our unconquerable purpose.
>With Thy blessing, we shall prevail over the unholy forces of our enemy. Help us to conquer the apostles of greed and racial arrogancies. Lead us to the saving of our country, and with our sister Nations into a world unity that will spell a sure peace a peace invulnerable to the schemings of unworthy men. And a peace that will let all of men live in freedom, reaping the just rewards of their honest toil.
how do i listen or download his fireside chats or whatever the frick
how'd that fricker manage to not laugh
or did he not originally intend to sell the yankees out to the hundreds of nazis that he imported into high ranking positions of the US government and NATO
>After the surrender, Wernher von Braun spoke to the press: >We knew that we had created a new means of warfare, and the question as to what nation, to what victorious nation we were willing to entrust this brainchild of ours was a moral decision more than anything else. We wanted to see the world spared another conflict such as Germany had just been through, and we felt that only by surrendering such a weapon to people who are guided not by the laws of materialism but by Christianity and humanity could such an assurance to the world be best secured.[73]
>He publicly spoke and wrote about the complementarity of science and religion, the afterlife of the soul, and his belief in God.[108][109] He stated, "Through science man strives to learn more of the mysteries of creation. Through religion he seeks to know the Creator."[110]
idk wtf i clicked into but why is there an atheist trying to convince an atheist that an atheist was a christian when in reality that atheist was an atheist
Millennials only hate Christianity because they either wanted to play pokemon on sunday but can't wait until after church and/or they watched adult swim at a very young age
>Soldiers, Sailors, and Airmen of the Allied Expeditionary Force:

>The eyes of the world are upon you. The hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you.
>In company with our brave Allies and brothers-in-arms on other Fronts you will bring about the destruction of the German war machine, the elimination of Nazi tyranny over oppressed peoples of Europe, and security for ourselves in a free world.
>Your task will not be an easy one. Your enemy is well trained, well equipped, and battle-hardened. He will fight savagely.
>But this is the year 1944. Much has happened since the Nazi triumphs of 1940-41. The United Nations have inflicted upon the Germans great defeats, in open battle, man-to-man. Our air offensive has seriously reduced their strength in the air and their capacity to wage war on the ground. Our Home Fronts have given us an overwhelming superiority in weapons and munitions of war, and placed at our disposal great reserves of trained fighting men. The tide has turned. The free men of the world are marching together to victory.
>I have full confidence in your courage, devotion to duty, and skill in battle. We will accept nothing less than full victory.
>Good Luck! And let us all beseech the blessing of Almighty God upon this great and noble undertaking.
cheers a giving a link
dont know how any american speech managed not to laugh considering what they did
i guess patton would have ranted about not gassing the germans and slaughtering the russians contrary to the presidents but you don't hear him either do ya
is anyone talking about the game?
the mythology / theology of the game is actually kinda kino. I dont care about the atheist / theist debate all of you are dropping midwit brainlet arguments about it anyway.
How. There is individualist libertarians like Ayn Rand and there is Darwinists that believe in Ubermesnch gigachads should inherit the earth and then there is commies lol. All of them disagree in one form or another.
Nope. Atheism has no such claims and gomulism has relatively little to force atheism past "opium to the masses". It's easier to harmonize church and communism than christian faith and capitalism.
Christians getting mad that nobody takes their pretend-play seriously never gets old. Hey if you seriously believed that bible nonsense and thought heaven was a real place you'd sell all your shit immediately and work the rest of your life in charity to guarantee entry to eternal bliss and avoid eternal damnation. But deep down you really aren't worried about it or taking it seriously, most of you haven't even read the bible cover to cover and can't cite the 10 commandments from memory.
I wonder why people would be so lazy when it comes to the most important thing in the universe for them (if they believe it)? hmmmm
christucks are supposed to be humble and "turn the other cheek" and whatnot yet come to Ganker of all places to post "deus vult" shit like they're on some sort of crusade.
yeah
Can your atheist shrine do this?
>Am*rican Christianity
disgusting
>mega churches
Christians are always the most humble, right next to towelheads and their giant ass mecca and whatnot.
If Jesus was the actual son of God and he saw this he'd probably sink America into the ocean.
pretty sure he'd be a lot more horrified by the fact that almost no so-called christian in all of history has actually lived by his ideals and teachings.
I am 100% sure that the bible and every religious text we have has been altered so much that they barely resemble the original work at all. Therefore even if you go to church you are not worshiping God but the churches bastardise version of God.
>I am 100% sure of some conjecture that feels right because it abdicates me of responsibility
Dead sea scrolls prove you completely wrong, btw.
Unchanged, really.
Dead Sea scrolls only prove that Jesus was a fraud, seeing that there is an earlier sect that used the same teachings and excuses about "resurrection".
homie saw some AI generated tiktok LMAO. They literally prove that the Bible was perfectly preserved, seethe moron
You pay way more taxes than any Christian country ever did, animal your leader view you as an animal and you yourself view yourself an animal why do I have to speak to such a monkey?
What do you have against animals?
Also you haven't read any of the related literature if your takeaway with the scrolls is "muh bible preservation!"
Everyone pays taxes
Paying tithe is a choice. A very dumb choice.
Yes basically. The contents of the current Bible were selected and filtered by a council of romans, who chose whatever texts aligned better to their own agendas and discarded the rest of the scriptures.
Sure Mohammed.
only because he isn't getting a cut from it
>america
No wonder God is burning it to the ground
Sure is a lot of evil technology of Satan in this house of God.
>technology is evil
>the entire story of david and goliath is technology overcoming brute force
But why
I hate protestants so damn much.
that's not a protestant church
every time christians do anything stupid every single sect go
>lmao protestants are so moronic
>lmao catholics are so moronic
>lmao the orthedox are so moronic
you are all the same in trying to shame and blame eachother while claiming that you are the TRUE christianity unlike those other stupid sects who are making christianity look bad.
If you weren't moronic you'd realize that there actually is a correct Christianity, The orthedox church never do embarrassing shit like this and was left with carrying and preserving Christianity according to gods will.
Everything else is just stupid degeneracy and it shows.
>The orthedox church never do embarrassing shit like this
>Loses Constantinople to T*rks
>The orthedox church never do embarrassing shit like this
>True Russian Orthodox Church
>Autocephalous Turkish Orthodox Patriarchate
>Orthodox Church in the USSR
>The Holy Eastern Orthodox Catholic and Apostolic Church in North America
>Orthodox Church in Russia survives
>Catholocism constantly losing their shit with Pope Francis shenanigans.
>Protestants endlessly splitting into countless denominations.
Yeah I think the Orthodox are miles better than the other churches. Because the Orthodox Christians understand that the Church is the body of Christ and that no matter what a few schismatic groups do, compromised priests and bishops does not mean God does not stop working through the Church, whereas Catholics and Protestants are constantly revising their views because their faulty dogmas are built on a house of cards (papal infallibility, sola scriptura, sola fide, vaitcan II, etc).
>The orthedox church never do embarrassing shit like this
>he doesn't know
Black person they pretty much sucked Stalin's dick back in the 40's and 50's even after he's tried to murder them all.
doesn't the orthodox church bless like missiles and aks and shit when putin sends the ziggers off to the meat grinder. I mean if that's not a dumb LARP then I don't know what is.
They also keep the body parts of dead saints and wash them in holy water because blessed bodies don't decay (lol)
Nose in bone ooga booga tier superstition
The problem with protestants is that having no centralized dogma means they fall for complete bullshit. People are sheep and led astray easily.
Dostoyevski made fun of that moronic belief. Catholics also have a bizarre obsession with bones and remains but not to that extent.
Meanwhile every Slavic church in the Balkans and now Russia has condoned the ethnic cleansing of their Orthodox neighbors at some point.
Autocephaly looks like an elegant compromise between letting any moron use the title of a preacher and the extreme centralization of Catholicism but they just ended up becoming literal puppets of monarchs and mobs.
Its a Baptist church
That 100% is a protestant church. Only they do stupid, gaudy shit like this.
it's evangelical
Are you moronic?
>implying modern catholic ones are any better
What is up with cucktholics and conical shapes?
Funny way of saying "Christians who actually read the Bible"
Reading isn't enough, you must also understand what you read.
If they'd understand whst they read, they wouldn't be christians any more.
They understand it because they read it rather than having a priest tell them what to think
Now I'm certain you have no idea what are you talking about.
No, I do. What's the point in following a religion centered on a book if you don't read it for yourself?
No, you clearly do not, otherwise you would know that they read it too. It's not exclusive to priests.
Catholics are notorious for not reading the Bible. It's a known fact.
That'a true, but that's also why they reserve scriptural interpretation and preaching to priests that are required to read and learn about the Bible. Protestants have the issue where the blind will lead the blind, and everyone thinks it's fine. Not all, but it is common.
Sounds like blind obedience to me.
source: your ass
One of the problems with many Protestant American churches is that they really aren't biblically literate. America has cultivated anti-intellectualism for centuries, by nature of not having an aristocracy, formalized priest-class (like the UK's Lords Spiritual), and ostensibly being a democracy where everyone gets one vote. In its healthy form, this means people value the opinion of your average uneducated person and will judge his/her arguments based on merit. In its worst form, this means people simply hate those who are more educated without listening to them. It's part of why Americans generally have such a hard time accepting opinions from educated specialists and bureaucrats. The anti-intellectualism also impacts religion, heavily. Many American churches make a point of having pastors and preachers with no formal education. Rather than having attended seminary and developing a deep understanding of scripture, he will just be some guy that speaks well. So when challenging messages come up in scripture, like how there are hundreds of condemnations of the misuse and worship of wealth, they either skip them or give a heretical interpretation to placate their church body. Catholic churches are somewhat less susceptible to this because of their rigid hierarchy and formalized requirements for priests. The same is true of certain Protestant denominations, but most churches in the US do not have any such rigor or belong to a denomination at all.
I’m sure this would get you an A+ at some coastal liberal arts college, get fricked Black person who the frick are you. You still don’t get that I vote for Trump to spite pretentious homosexuals like you
No, frick YOU, Black person. I have always lived in the South, I'm white, I work, and I'm christian, and I'm sick of you dumbass fricks thinking you know better just because you don't understand words and think you can get your way by being loud and rude. Well I can do it too, you wienersucking, troony-porn-watching, dumbfrick, moron. Get your dumbfrick head out of your sweaty fat ass, thinking I give a SHIT about who you vote for, when your actual God DAMNED eternity is at stake.
Yeah seethe about it homo
modern novus ordo masses aren't any better, let's be honest
cant imagine all the malding yuropoops who sit in crumbling hellscape churches self-flagellating while suffering without a/c (they haven't discovered the technology).
I live near this church. It's Prestonwood Baptist in Plano, TX (suburb in north Dallas). They embody most of the terrible problems with the current form of white protestant American Christianity. There are some good honest people that attend, but the place has been run by the mega-wealthy that attend it for years. Basically some rich people withhold their donations unless they get their way, and the church leadership caves every time because if the money ever stopped coming, they would have to massively downsize their campus and let staff go. This is the same church that scummy politicians "attend" as well. For how wealthy this church is, they do comparatively little to help the community around them. For example, I know of another much smaller church in the same city that has a clinic providing free healthcare (with actual real doctors and shit) to people, among other things.
Why would fake christians care about helping people?
>no REAL scotsman
Huh, it IS the Baptidome.
I used to go to Bent Tree (across the street). Even though Bent Tree was a huge church (and I assume still is) I remember thinking Prestonwood was wild even when I was younger.
Imagine how many poor or needy people that mega church could feed if they cut their production budget
They would just quote Jesus talking to Judas saying, "You will always have the poor, but you will not always have me," as a way of defending their gross expenditures. They ignore that this a single line from Jesus criticizing Judas, who He knew was being duplicitous anyway, about how the focus should be on Jesus's death and resurrection rather than simply doing good works, and that it stands among literally thousands of verses warning about money.
It's funny how Jesus very clearly states rich people are as likely to get to heaven as a camel fitting through a needle eye, but "christians" still give religious leaders piles of money they use for mansions and private jets
People bend over backwards to justify it. I grew up Southern Baptist and sat in several sermons from different speakers that claimed the "eye of the needle" was actually the name of a gate in Jerusalem, and that camels had to get down on their knees and crawl forward to get through it. This is meant to say, "No, see, rich people can get into heaven just fine if they get on their knees and pray!" It's been debunked as bullshit by several different people since I used to hear it a lot back then, but I'll never forget how it was said to me from the pulpit with such matter-of-factness.
The verse is mostly agreed nowdays to be mistranslated but that specific interpretation is bullshit lol
Probably a lot of Israel supporters in this church.
I mean, Genesis 12:3.
I'm neutral on the orthodox/catholic church of europe, but jesus christ the american version is such a disgusting perversion of the faith.
what the actual frick am i looking at holy shit
idolatry
these are the people who seethe about lgbt propaganda
there is lgbt propaganda unironically in videogames and its messed up and SweetBaby Inc is real.

because everyone thought they were going to talk about the religion in the game which is actually cool and people that like lore should look into it but it de-evolved into one of those threads.
>2024 society
>still haven't returned to Christ
Christianity had its chance for 1500 years and things never improved until it started to lose its grip. Also:
>returned
Now imagine an average peasant from middle ages - with no religion to hold him back from murdering and raping everyone around him.
At least modern times have television, games and porn to keep people like that pacified.
This may shock you, but average person doesn't want to murder and rape. As usual religious schizos think everyone else shares their abysmal lack of morals.
Not that anon, but you would be surprised.
>I'm a wannabe rapist and murder, therefore everyone is
I know a small number of people are psychopaths, but reigning them in with imaginary friends is far from a reliable solution.
Nice projection but the truth is that most people need religion or faith in general as a mean of moral guidance, otherwise they would be loose cannons ready to shoot if given the opportunity.
They really don't. People can be good simply because they want to rather than fear of divine retribution
It would be nice if most people thought that way, but realistically speaking they would be a minority.
You speak of evidence yet provide none, especially when you claim things like "you need religion to force good person to commit evil". Talk about pathetic.
I think 99% of people are good. Psychopaths who need to reigned in by imaginary friends are the outliers.
I don't share your optimism.
In reality every single devout Christcretin country is rife with violent crime and homicides, whilst the nations that are the safest are either secular or irreligious.
on the contrary, there's no evidence that religion has prevented people from doing bad things at any point throughout the entirety of western history
>p-projection!
Cmon, this is getting more and more pathethic. You're repeating a dumb claim without a shred of evidence. All the while ignoring that every religious person has to alter his "religious" morality so that it matches the secular morals. Nobody on the planet lives according to biblical morals, as that person would go to jail for a good reason. Because you need religion to force good person to commit evil.
Religion literally does nothing to stop OR promote evil.
Attila was perfectly happy barreling down Europe, and I bet it wasn't because great Tengri willed it or whatever. Don't pretend that the "average person" back then were all literal paragons either, that they had the "modern" ideals and morality we have now.
Crusaders were perfectly happy literally wading knee-deep in infidel blood despite being the "good guys". Don't pretend it was all that moral, or that all of them were moral. Even the ones that were, or tried to, eventually fell to misinterpretation, "watering down", and/or eventual corruption.
All religion was, was an early phase in human morality. Not until the enlightenment ideals did we actually bother to finish the commandments from "killing is le bad" to "killing infidels ALSO le bad".
morons like to believe that without religion we'd be a type 69 civilization already or whatever. No we won't, we'd be the same murder-happy frickwits we are.
Cages, tortures and burns he best. Religion has no merit. Whatever you call it's intent it is only appreciable by degenerates.
This may come to a shock to you but not everyone wants to rape kids like you do and doesnt only because hes afraid of punishment like you are.
>Now imagine an average peasant from middle ages - with no religion to hold him back from murdering and raping everyone around him.
least unhinged spiritual semite
you're describing a knight, homie, not a peasant
tournaments and the idea of chivalry were invented specifically because knights were raping and pillaging regardless of what the pope said
The idea that average peasant was this psycho maniac who only didn't rape and kill because he was afraid of god is really tiring. This is what "knowledge" based on hollywood movies and popular culture does to society.
>believes in le reddit graphic
Nice strawman, but no. I don't think christianity was the culprit behind the dark ages or significantly worse that greco-roman paganism, but it didn't improve things either and has been dragged kicking and screaming over every advance in society for hundreds of years now. It doesn't lead. It follows.
Why should I trust a guy of a israeli sect who was classified as an agitator by the Romans.
But he was absolved by both the Roman Government and Judean Kingship under Herod. He was only handed to the israelites because they were chimping out
You don't know much history if you think the Romans gave a shit about appeasing israelites
The Romans did lots to appease the israelites. That's precisely why they were so pissed off when the israelites Revolted again.
Right right, the Romans cared so much about appeasing the israelites that they completely destroyed Israel, makes perfect sense
Yes, because the israelites slaughtered all the Romans in Judea after 50 years of getting more privileges than most of Romes vassals. They had no Religous or Military obligations to Rome and had a local israeli Government under Herod that was just supervised by Roman Governors
>Ancient Rome giving non-Romans positions in the military or pagan temples
You really don't know anything about history
Thats not at all what I said? Are you dense? Many Roman Vassals were obligated to provide military auxilia and religous services and sacrifices to the prosperity of the Empire. The israelites were exempt from such things because they were autistic xenophobes who bristled at everything.
>non-Romans positions in the military or pagan temples
You are an utter moron on both counts. The Roman army robustly integrated foreign auxiliaries and the Romans brought into foreign cults at times of crisis, most notably the cult of Cybele during the Second Punic War.
Yes, the israelites were the most dogmatic and chimpy subjects the Romans had, prone to revolts, so the Romans had to shut them up on the regular, whether with the gladius or with appeasement. Until the last chimpout were they were finally fed up and the Romans delenda ested them to complete irrelevance.
this
The Simon Bar Kokhba revolt that was particularly bloodthirsty that Hadrian responded by burning judea to the ground?
No that occured much later after the destruction of the Second Temple during the First Roman israeli War.
I hate christianity for not finishing the job with the muslims, just like I hate nazis for not finishing the job with the israelites
Also greek gods were much cooler and yahweh v2 is such a downgrade

Just keep giving priests your money and your little boys or else you will go to hell.

whaddya reckon, catholics or orthodox
jokes i'd have to drive for 4 hours to get to an orthodox church
almost everyone at my local catholic church is a pilipino so i assume they're either alright or extremely heretical then, ja?
Orthodox. You don't have to care about what the bishops or pope says then.
yeah well damn
whaddya reckon about catholic pilipinos
are you an orthodox
to be honest most people i know are orthodox but i dont particularly want to drive for over 4 hours if i can avoid it
not a huge fan of popey myself but uh he's not as bad as the frickers who were having orgies in the vatican i guess??
Orgies probably arent as bad as actively encouraging civil war in your own country.
oh ye might be
idk what yore talkin about though

Christian Europe was objectively better than atheist Europe, the church acted as a societal glue. Most people are sheep and need some moral authority to tell them not to be selfish, degenerates or dickheads. Whether god and all that actually exists or not is secondary.
>t. atheist
No, society always ends up regulating itself one way or another through natural selection and conflicts. Church is not necessary and actually prevents society from sanitizing itself.
You still had selfish, degen dickheads back then. They just knew how to hide it better, were highway bandits or corrupt nobility. That's without getting into all the moronic wars the common man had to fight for said nobility keeping population numbers in check too.
fpbp
We are social animals and the vast majority of us are naturally inclined to care about each other, we don't need religion to be good in the present world where resources abound. However the psychos who are willing to step on good people tend to rise to power and that's how we get stuck into meaningless conflicts.
Yes.
every religion is bad and just a tool to control the masses. No one of the higher ups of a religions believing their own bullshit.
I'm pretty sure Dawkins honestly believes there is a mindless force that will prevent entropy from reigniting creation after the universe's end even as science makes the idea as dated as string theory.
this is the most moronic cattle take ever.
Atheism is the ultimate control tool, every single dictatorship promotes atheism. Atheist "people" are barely even human they are literally cattle bred for taxation
Holy projection, Batman. Try to remember that while you pay up your tithe.
you can believe in god and not take the word of a bunch of con artists as fact. or do you think your relationship with god only comes down to that, believing everything some guy told you? very cattle like behavior tbh
while not original commentary, the common sentiment throughout the years has been yes
Now play Unicorn Overlord which is Christian Orthodox KINO OUT THE WAZOO... Christianchads... are we going home?

>THERE WAS NO RELIGION IN AMERICA BEFORE THE RED SCARE!!!!
Debunked reddit cope. America has always been Christian
>For several decades, beginning when the federal government moved to Washington in the fall of 1800, the Capitol building was used for Sunday religious services as well as for governmental functions. The first services were conducted in the "hall" of the House in the north wing of the building. In 1801 the House moved to temporary quarters in the south wing, called the "Oven", which it vacated in 1804, returning to the north wing for three years. Then, from 1807 to 1857, they were held in the then-House Chamber (now called Statuary Hall). When held in the House chamber, the Speaker's podium was used as the preacher's pulpit. According to the U.S. Library of Congress exhibit Religion and the Founding of the American Republic:
>It is no exaggeration to say that on Sundays in Washington during the administrations of Thomas Jefferson (1801-1809) and of James Madison (1809-1817) the state became the church. Within a year of his inauguration, Jefferson began attending church services in the House of Representatives. Madison followed Jefferson's example, although unlike Jefferson, who rode on horseback to church in the Capitol, Madison came in a coach and four. Worship services in the House--a practice that continued until after the Civil War--were acceptable to Jefferson because they were nondiscriminatory and voluntary. Preachers of every Protestant denomination appeared. (Catholic priests began officiating in 1826.) As early as January 1806 a female evangelist, Dorothy Ripley, delivered a camp meeting-style exhortation in the House to Jefferson, Vice President Aaron Burr, and a "crowded audience." Throughout his administration Jefferson permitted church services in executive branch buildings. The Gospel was also preached in the Supreme Court chambers.
>The earliest recorded usage of the motto in English was in January 1748, when the Pennsylvania Gazette reported on the colours of Associators regiments, namely that of Benjamin Franklin's Pennsylvania militia, one of which said: "IX. A Coronet and Plume of Feathers. Motto, In God we Trust."[19][20][21] According to Thomas S. Kidd, an American historian, this appears to be an isolated instance of an official usage, which could be traced to some renderings of Psalm 56:11.[22]
>Later, in 1814, Francis Scott Key composed and published a poem entitled "Defence of Fort M'Henry". In the fourth verse, Key's published version of the poem includes the line, "And this be our motto-'In God is our trust!'"[23] Key's poem would later be adopted as the national anthem of the United States under the title "The Star-Spangled Banner" and serve as one of the arguments to include the motto on the currency. When 'In God We Trust' was under consideration to be adopted as the national motto of the United States by the U.S. Congress, the words of the fourth verse of Key's poem were brought up in arguments supporting adoption of the motto.[24]
>While the earliest mentions of the phrase can be found in the mid-18th century, the origins of this phrase as a political motto lie in the American Civil War, where Union supporters wanted to emphasize their attachment to God and to boost morale.[7] The capitalized form "IN GOD WE TRUST" first appeared on the two-cent piece in 1864;[8]
>During the Civil War, the "Battle Hymn" became a rallying cry of the northern cause, reprinted a million times, and sung on a thousand marches. It would endure as America's wartime anthem long after the guns fell silent in 1865.
>Art. 11. As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion
GG no re.
As stated, all your cope is founded by revisionism. Burgeristan is a secular nation no matter how much the fundamentalist terrorists seethe about it.
No, chrstianity is dying in America, as it is in every first world country
Wasteland 2, where the twist is that the initially hostile fundamentalist church is actually being misled by an butthole and if you help the good priests to depose him they're one of the nicest factions in the game.

They're letting troons happen, how could they be anything other than bad?
He was right, you know
jeez
If he wasn't so salty about his mother taking him to church maybe he wouldn't be 38 years old and without a partner and a bunch of b***hes trying to MeToo'ing him in 2021
>gently banter with Christians

The religion of leftism isn't any better but both you gays are insufferable
>let me tell you about what kind of Christian you should be.
And you can scroll for hours and hours and find not ONE comment upset as gaysauce for "having an opinion" that has any significant amount of likes or responses. Just more of atheists and their persecution complex. I also love how everyone readily admits that times are getting worse and worse and that DIRECTLY coincides with everyone leaving religion, but whenever you bring it up they love to say "no times are great bro, I'm loving life right now". Never change, gaytheists, never change.
The abandonment of religion leading to a worsening society only proves why religions exist in the first place. Commonfolk need something to assign them purpose, so they get cranky when outdated traditions fail them (resulting in doubling down on their ignorance and or pursuing new gods like politics, which leads us to this current modern hellscape)
>Religion is just a crutch that keeps society in order
>This is evidenced by everything getting worse as soon as people abandon it
>So lets force everyone to abandon it all together because then I PROMISE things will get much better and won't turn into an even more horrifying hellscape than it already has.
No one's buying it.
I didn’t realize he was such a homosexual.
He did nothing wrong.

what are some recent games that actually depict Christianity in a positive light aside from Faith?
Unironically RDR2 but Ganker called it wokeshit anyway
Cyberpunk
Correct.
Christians consistently showcase an ethnic hatred against Europeans so it is in fact bad and evil.
Only the Cuckolics.
you can be religious without having to like the church you know
anyone unironically waiting for this kino?
The trailers for this look like those phone game ads that you download and its nothing like the game in the ad.
Was there even a church in XIII? I just remember that Bart looks like a pope, but other than that Cocoon just had people and no churches, I dont remember if there was worship of the Coccoon Fal'cies or anything, they more like tools than anything.
It's called "Sanctum", but it's really just a central government. Nobody, including the game's writers, cares whether the people of Cocoon worship Fal'Cie or not.
Religion killed millions of people, so yes, it is.
That outfit is ridiculous
XIII was peak Nomura before he retreated into his shell of hoodies and plaid.
Just like real life.
But that is le true?
JRPGs shitting on religious authorities makes a lot more sense once you realize that it's a politically correct stand-in for the Emperor during WWII.
True. They're the most degenerate entitybto ever exist. Their modern itteration: psychology, should be utterly destroyed and made man's purpose inthe universe to eliminate, searching everywhere for it's like to exterminate.
So this is basically Edelgard’s route in three houses?
Imagine being one of the billions of morons who practice and believe in any religion. You waste your life in a popularity contest worshipping a bunch of homosexuals reading from a book twice a week. The longer you talk about the more moronic it gets yet people "believe" it. If that doesnt show you that people in general are worthless and deserve instant death i dont believe you have eyes.
imagine believing in the religion that created western civilization

what the frick were they thinking?
Sometimes I regret actually trying in life when I could have been one of the priests or pastors that's allowed to marry and made a living scamming people and doing the bare minimum. Pat robertson and Joel Osteen are genuis, and it's guilt free because only morons fall for it.
FFXIII is dogshit but I love this homosexual's design like you can not believe. The GUN FACE attack never gets old
Church doesn't always mean religion you moron. Plenty of churches are corrupt as frick and use faith to extort the actual believers. That said, just ignore this pitty (you) and go on, you just want an argument with a moronic atheist neckbeard.
>no TRUE christian
lmao
If they call themselves christian, they're christian. And people are good enough with self delusion that I'm positive a large number of grifters on top actually believe significant portion of the slop they're selling.
Yes.

Death to Abrahamist wienerroaches.
REMINDER that 63 separate studies demonstrate a very strong negative correlation between religiosity and intelligence even when controlling for a myriad of environmental factors and prior educational attainment.

There is definitely a strong correlation between atheism and cringe.
yeah
yes. christbros tend to be moronic as shit
thought you posted this guy before looking at the filename. bugs really are soulless aren't they
The moment I saw him I knew I would fight him.
The fact this guy survives a bullet to the head was always a red flag, Sparda was cool but making him into Demon Jesus is also a redflag that Dante saw right through. But still, imagine being Nero, an angsty kid listening to a Kidz Bop version of System of a Down, holding your girlfriend's birthday gift you got her from Claire's and spent most your life as an orphan albino surrounded by Demon-Catholics.
How he didn't become a school shooter knowing his mom could've been labeled a town prostitute is also a testament to him.
has el pope san done anythinga wrong
FRICK THE CHURCH
here comes another not-so-hidden /misc/ thread
"You're in my Spot!"
It's actually kind of funny to seeing doofuses on Ganker go contrarian so hard they enter full on reddit atheist mode any time religion is brought up
the only contrarians on this site are the people who converted to christianity purely just to spite the current secular/agnostic zeitgeist
to be nonreligious or even atheist is pretty standard in the west
You do realize most people are still religious even now right? Even Gen Z is more religious than millennials who where the biggest dip on faith, and obviously boomers and gen x are also more likely to be religious, being religious isn't a contrarian stance, being an atheist is
>on this site
If you were literate, you wouldn't defend religion.
that's why I said the secular/agnostic zeitgeist and not the atheist zeitgeist. Yeah, lots of people will answer surveys with dumb vague answers like "uh yeah I think there's like something out there, man" but these same people don't go to church, they don't pray, they don't observe any christian rituals or traditions, or the rituals and traditions of any faith for that matter, and most importantly, they don't conform their actions to their religious beliefs. Their "religiosity" amounts to a superstition that there's a man in the sky who watches them sometimes, but they don't even care enough to try and please this thing.
To actually be truly religious is to be the contrarian. It's fine to be like that, but don't stand on a mountain of fairweather believers and talk down to others when you could wake up one day and find yourself completely alone and getting talked down to by the atheists. The golden rule and all that.
This just sounds like you're trying to talk around the fact most people are religious by going on about the semantics involved on whether or not believing in something is enough to be considered religious, which is an entire debate in on itself. The point being, regardless of all that, acting like an 14 year old atheist sperg is absolutely being a contrarian by definition
You're the one contrarian here, acting against the population HERE. Then you try to apeal to argument ad populum out of all the people in some thirdistan countries with no Internet access, which is just pathethic.
>The point being, regardless of all that, acting like an 14 year old atheist sperg is absolutely being a contrarian by definition
you can keep saying this, but it's literally just not true. Atheist fedoralords are a just a manifestation, albeit a very extreme one, of the current spiritual zeitgeist, they aren't a departure or a deviation from the normal in any way. Christians are a niche subculture that is divergent from the rest of society.
In basically every setting I've been in in my life, school, university, work, around friends and family, etc., remarks from others expressing religious skepticism is somewhat common, and rarely gives anyone pause. Open shows of religiosity are usually dismissed or scoffed at.
Basically, Steve from the office says "heh, christians are dumb," no one bats an eye. But someone brings up the bible and everyone looks at them side-eyed, even when those people are themselves christian. Nominally, anyway.
An atheist fedoralord integrates back into the fabric of society much easier than does a zealous christian. That's exactly why the adoption rate of christianity is so high amongst disaffected loner males on the internet.

I'll never forgive Blizzard
Naaru aren't really 'the Light' though. They're beings close to it in the same way voidwalkers are close to the Void.
At least that's what I remember from Burning Crusade. I haven't played anything past BFA except some of the early Legion questing.
Yes the church corrupts worship of god.
can I get an explanation on why the Book of Enoch isn't canon despite Jude quoting it
Video games are made by nerdy atheists who are still salty that their parents made them go to church when they were a kid. That's why you constantly hear about "Catholic preist rapes" like it's an absolute epidemic, meanwhile public schools have a WAY higher rate of child molestation, and yet no one views your average school teacher as a rapist. They just want to make the church look as evil as possible so they can justify hating it for having to waste an hour on sunday that they otherwise would have spent smoking weed or jerking off.
I mean, in fairness, only 30% of american catholics go to church, and of those 30%, probably a fraction of those are kids. Contrast this to the fact that, except for homeschooling, every child in america is forced to attend public school. There's literally just more opportunities for predation to occur in schools than anywhere else. That doesn't necessarily mean that the risk of any one individual child being molested at a school is greater than being raped at a catholic church.
So why do people try to single out the church then, when pedos will go wherever they can?
Because the Church covered up for them you turbo moron.
I'm assuming that the individual risk of being raped by a priest is greater than the risk of being raped by a schoolteacher, but that is just me guessing. What is definitely the truth though is that the catholic church attempted to suppress evidence of molestation, which makes them complicit in child rape. Compare this to public schools where teachers get fired on the mere suspicion of untoward contact with minors.
The church doesn't have to report and usually just moves the priest to a new state.
You know you can look up the history of Catholocism and other Abrahamic faiths on the internet? It's not cute.
Japs seem to like Gnosticism, though.
Public schools dont have a higher rate they have a higher total number.
Judaism and its derivatives (Christianity and Islam in particular) are the worst catastrophe to have befallen human knowledge since the earliest written records.
Christianity is derived from God's Word and Law
Judaism and Islam are derived from Babylonian degenerates
It's really that simple
Christianity is directly derived from Judaism lol, Jesus Christ was a israelite.
Islam is derived from an occult moon god like the moon presence from bloodborne look up the true form of allah described its some weird shit with two right arms, one leg, two feet.
Yes because that guy is actually this
the gods in FF13 are the only well written part of the plot, the theology there is kinda deep and cool. They are like creepy Lovecraftian outergods that like controlling humans for their plans.
The Entity behind it all that wins btw until the very end when Lightning refuses to do his bidding and kill him instead.
Final Fantasy 13 is about fighting in line, this dictator god always gets his will done until... He messes up and fuses himself with the soul of Hope that loves Lightning and this made him weak at fighting Lightning which allowed Lightning to win. Making Lighting the strongest FF protagonist bar none, not even Noctis did a feat this big. Too bad her games suck lol.
>Making Lighting the strongest FF protagonist bar none
lmao

Why do redditors unironically believe that America was atheist before McCarthyism?
>Prohibition in the United States was a nationwide constitutional ban on the production, importation, transportation, and sale of alcoholic beverages from 1920 to 1933.
>Prohibition was an important force in state and local politics from the 1840s through the 1930s. Numerous historical studies demonstrated that the political forces involved were ethnoreligious.[46] Prohibition was supported by the dries, primarily pietistic Protestant denominations that included Methodists, Northern Baptists, Southern Baptists, New School Presbyterians, Disciples of Christ, Congregationalists, Quakers, and Scandinavian Lutherans, but also included the Catholic Total Abstinence Union of America and, to a certain extent, the Latter-day Saints. These religious groups identified saloons as politically corrupt and drinking as a personal sin. Other active organizations included the Women's Church Federation, the Women's Temperance Crusade, and the Department of Scientific Temperance Instruction. They were opposed by the wets, primarily liturgical Protestants (Episcopalians and German Lutherans) and Roman Catholics, who denounced the idea that the government should define morality.[47] Even in the wet stronghold of New York City there was an active prohibition movement, led by Norwegian church groups and African-American labor activists who believed that prohibition would benefit workers, especially African Americans.
Franklin D. Roosevelt’s D-Day Prayer
>"My fellow Americans: Last night, when I spoke with you about the fall of Rome, I knew at that moment that troops of the United States and our allies were crossing the Channel in another and greater operation. It has come to pass with success thus far.
>And so, in this poignant hour, I ask you to join with me in prayer:
>Almighty God: Our sons, pride of our Nation, this day have set upon a mighty endeavor, a struggle to preserve our Republic, our religion, and our civilization, and to set free a suffering humanity.
>Lead them straight and true; give strength to their arms, stoutness to their hearts, steadfastness in their faith.
>They will need Thy blessings. Their road will be long and hard. For the enemy is strong. He may hurl back our forces. Success may not come with rushing speed, but we shall return again and again; and we know that by Thy grace, and by the righteousness of our cause, our sons will triumph.
>They will be sore tried, by night and by day, without rest-until the victory is won. The darkness will be rent by noise and flame. Men's souls will be shaken with the violences of war.
>For these men are lately drawn from the ways of peace. They fight not for the lust of conquest. They fight to end conquest. They fight to liberate. They fight to let justice arise, and tolerance and good will among all Thy people. They yearn but for the end of battle, for their return to the haven of home.
>Some will never return. Embrace these, Father, and receive them, Thy heroic servants, into Thy kingdom.
>And for us at home -- fathers, mothers, children, wives, sisters, and brothers of brave men overseas -- whose thoughts and prayers are ever with them--help us, Almighty God, to rededicate ourselves in renewed faith in Thee in this hour of great sacrifice.
>Many people have urged that I call the Nation into a single day of special prayer. But because the road is long and the desire is great, I ask that our people devote themselves in a continuance of prayer. As we rise to each new day, and again when each day is spent, let words of prayer be on our lips, invoking Thy help to our efforts.
>Give us strength, too -- strength in our daily tasks, to redouble the contributions we make in the physical and the material support of our armed forces.
>And let our hearts be stout, to wait out the long travail, to bear sorrows that may come, to impart our courage unto our sons wheresoever they may be
>And, O Lord, give us Faith. Give us Faith in Thee; Faith in our sons; Faith in each other; Faith in our united crusade. Let not the keenness of our spirit ever be dulled. Let not the impacts of temporary events, of temporal matters of but fleeting moment let not these deter us in our unconquerable purpose.
>With Thy blessing, we shall prevail over the unholy forces of our enemy. Help us to conquer the apostles of greed and racial arrogancies. Lead us to the saving of our country, and with our sister Nations into a world unity that will spell a sure peace a peace invulnerable to the schemings of unworthy men. And a peace that will let all of men live in freedom, reaping the just rewards of their honest toil.
>Thy will be done, Almighty God.
>Amen."

how'd that fricker manage to not laugh
or did he not originally intend to sell the yankees out to the hundreds of nazis that he imported into high ranking positions of the US government and NATO
>After the surrender, Wernher von Braun spoke to the press:
>We knew that we had created a new means of warfare, and the question as to what nation, to what victorious nation we were willing to entrust this brainchild of ours was a moral decision more than anything else. We wanted to see the world spared another conflict such as Germany had just been through, and we felt that only by surrendering such a weapon to people who are guided not by the laws of materialism but by Christianity and humanity could such an assurance to the world be best secured.[73]
>He publicly spoke and wrote about the complementarity of science and religion, the afterlife of the soul, and his belief in God.[108][109] He stated, "Through science man strives to learn more of the mysteries of creation. Through religion he seeks to know the Creator."[110]
Yeah, nazis were christian. What else is new?
Did you also just realize that Hitler was not only a christian, but vegetarian to boot?
idk wtf i clicked into but why is there an atheist trying to convince an atheist that an atheist was a christian when in reality that atheist was an atheist
Hitler wasn't an atheist. I know your pastor told you otherwise, but as usual, he's a lying pos.
Hitler was a Germanic Pagan

Eisenhower's D-Day speech
>Soldiers, Sailors, and Airmen of the Allied Expeditionary Force:
>You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade, toward which we have striven these many months.
>The eyes of the world are upon you. The hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you.
>In company with our brave Allies and brothers-in-arms on other Fronts you will bring about the destruction of the German war machine, the elimination of Nazi tyranny over oppressed peoples of Europe, and security for ourselves in a free world.
>Your task will not be an easy one. Your enemy is well trained, well equipped, and battle-hardened. He will fight savagely.
>But this is the year 1944. Much has happened since the Nazi triumphs of 1940-41. The United Nations have inflicted upon the Germans great defeats, in open battle, man-to-man. Our air offensive has seriously reduced their strength in the air and their capacity to wage war on the ground. Our Home Fronts have given us an overwhelming superiority in weapons and munitions of war, and placed at our disposal great reserves of trained fighting men. The tide has turned. The free men of the world are marching together to victory.
>I have full confidence in your courage, devotion to duty, and skill in battle. We will accept nothing less than full victory.
>Good Luck! And let us all beseech the blessing of Almighty God upon this great and noble undertaking.

dont know how any american speech managed not to laugh considering what they did
i guess patton would have ranted about not gassing the germans and slaughtering the russians contrary to the presidents but you don't hear him either do ya
is anyone talking about the game?
the mythology / theology of the game is actually kinda kino. I dont care about the atheist / theist debate all of you are dropping midwit brainlet arguments about it anyway.
Hindu proves all religion is made up silly shit, sorry. Go eat some cow dung or something if you wanna see the power of faith.

Atheism = communism.
How. There is individualist libertarians like Ayn Rand and there is Darwinists that believe in Ubermesnch gigachads should inherit the earth and then there is commies lol. All of them disagree in one form or another.
Nope. Atheism has no such claims and gomulism has relatively little to force atheism past "opium to the masses". It's easier to harmonize church and communism than christian faith and capitalism.
When you mix the two and a bunch of other degenerate moronic nonsense you end up getting Reddit.
communism = judaism

Janny insta-deletes all other troll threads but always lets this "church is le bad" spam thread stay up until bump limit. What's his problem?
Christians getting mad that nobody takes their pretend-play seriously never gets old. Hey if you seriously believed that bible nonsense and thought heaven was a real place you'd sell all your shit immediately and work the rest of your life in charity to guarantee entry to eternal bliss and avoid eternal damnation. But deep down you really aren't worried about it or taking it seriously, most of you haven't even read the bible cover to cover and can't cite the 10 commandments from memory.
I wonder why people would be so lazy when it comes to the most important thing in the universe for them (if they believe it)? hmmmm
christucks are supposed to be humble and "turn the other cheek" and whatnot yet come to Ganker of all places to post "deus vult" shit like they're on some sort of crusade.
