Re: Violence
Christianity was only the religion of Christ for a few fleeting generations after he was crucified, tops.
In a sense, it was never a “religion” of Christ. Jesus tried to establish a communal movement, not a religion. Once it adopted the dogmas and hierarchies of a religion, virtually every semblance of the Christ movement was gone, and all hell broke lose.

After all, religions are basically conspiracies that achieved some critical mass.

So when Jesus told Peter he was the rock on which he would build his church, he meant more of like a community hall?ousdahl wrote: ↑Thu Feb 11, 2021 9:41 am Christianity was only the religion of Christ for a few fleeting generations after he was crucified, tops.

In 300 AD there's a good chance they weren't white. Or if they were, they were some swarthy Meditteraneans.TraditionKU wrote: ↑Thu Feb 11, 2021 11:21 am yet again, rich and powerful white men fucked things up

Re: Violence
I honestly don’t go so far as to call it “fiction,” but yeah, it’s important to identify the gospels for what they are: translations of translations of nomadic oral traditions, written generations after the fact.Cascadia wrote: ↑Thu Feb 11, 2021 11:12 amThat piece of fiction was selected 300 years laterPhDhawk wrote: ↑Thu Feb 11, 2021 11:06 amSo when Jesus told Peter he was the rock on which he would build his church, he meant more of like a community hall?ousdahl wrote: ↑Thu Feb 11, 2021 9:41 am Christianity was only the religion of Christ for a few fleeting generations after he was crucified, tops.

There were and maybe still are hundreds of gospels; of these accounts of the life and ministry of Jesus. But! hundreds of years after the fact, a group of church leaders (now in lock step with the Roman Empire, rather than at odds) got together and said, “yeah there’s hundreds of accounts of this cat, but from now on we’re only gonna accept these four. All others shall be destroyed, and studying or even mentioning them shall be considered heresy, punishable by death.”
One can’t help but wonder how they came to that conclusion, that only four gospels shall be allowed. But I’ll go out on a limb and posit they picked the four that best lent themselves to turning a communal movement into a hierarchical power structure.

Re: Violence
It makes sense though, right? Evangelicals have a tendency to believe "there are no coincidences." That mindset makes you succeptible to conspiracies, especially with the Q cult way.TraditionKU wrote: ↑Thu Feb 11, 2021 8:36 am sadly funny that the evangelical christians are some of the most ardent q-anon followers
It's actually kind of logical, just with a false premise.
You see them use the word "proof" a lot the way Lobster does, in ways where most of us would realize what is being said is not proof at all. The thing is, adductive logic (piecing random shit together) can be used to prove something if the premise that "there are no coincidences" is true.

I heard that bitch pelosi, along with schumer had meetings where both BLM and antifa representatives were present, and where they specifically plotted events to make Trump look bad.

Trump doesn't need any help to look bad.
