stop trying to give me an ultimatum, saying iāll go to hell or that we canāt be friends if i donāt pray.
if iām uncertain that god exists because thereās NO PROOF EITHER WAY for me.
iām not a āperfectā straight christian woman like you are, iām not going to change myself because my looks ātemptā men. i dress for me, not for men.
i donāt CARE if same-gender relationships are āsinsā and youāll go to hell. there are some pro-lgbt churches. i donāt care if āall women are for is to complement men and theyāre inferior and they should only be with other men for that reasonā.
this shit makes me so mad. i donāt have to be religious if i donāt want to be. thereās this one straight christian woman i know and she hates other women itās so annoying, and she claims to support the lgbt but ādoesnāt care about gay/trans rightsā.
omfg shut up, thereās some actual kind christians despite me not being one myself, but these people obviously arenāt.
if youāre genuinely curious as to whether i pray, am christian/religious, or go to church, then thatās fine, but DONāT TRY TO FORCE ME. i thought christianity preached acceptance??
Christians follow the teachings of Jesus Christ. If you donāt follow the teachings of Jesus Christ but call yourself a Christian you are a Christian in name only.
Hate Your Father and Mother
āIf anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple.ā Luke 14:26
9.Throws tables up and trashes a temple being used by money changers and people selling their merchandise, though itās not a building owned by him, calls them robbers (if this story had any credibility he would have met some resistance and been killed) Matthew 21:12-13, Mark 11:15-18
Jesus Christ had a lot of teachings, one of which is that all humans are imperfect. All fall short, and let he who is without sin cast the first stone. Does that mean you arenāt a Christian, since youāre expecting perfection of Christians?
Perfection, no. An effort, yes. I am an atheist and live in a country with actual religious freedom.
Iād argue that anyone claiming to be a Christian believes they are making an effort to follow the teachings of Christ as they understand them.
Iām not sure why you think where you live is relevant, but OK.
If āChristiansā had read and understood the Bible instead of just accepting what bad faith actors told them I bet they would probably be better Christians.
Where I live is relevant since as an atheist I have actual religious freedom which means that the Christian prohibition against judging others does not apply to me. I am free to judge that false Christians are horrible people.
The problem is in understanding the bible. Christianity is an esoteric religion. A quick read is not going to get someone there. It is beyond most peoples range of knowledge. Eastern religions ( Buddhism, Hindu, etc ) make it clear that a teacher is needed to understand. In the west Christianity is a perverted false religion at this point and has been for a very long time. This has allowed for many āfalse Prophetsā (which the same religion clearly warned against) to lead masses of people down a wrong path.
