Challenge #6 is just all too common among religious circles, and so ironically contradictory to the teachings of the religions themselves.

so a French schoolteacher was behead after showing a cartoon depicting the prophet Mohammed

It really is about subjugation. Coney Barrett said the county wasn't liable for its people raping and beating prisoners.

A few questions:

- Does this go here or the onlyfans thread?
- how do you think the administrator found the mom’s account?
- would Jesus be so condemning?
- what if the Catholic Church was as harsh toward pedo priests are they are toward this woman and her kids?

Leawood should introduce himself.

This troubles me. “He who hath not sinned. . .” It is like Priests wanting to deny the President the Host.

I think the mom is married and the dad took the photos.

But yeah, there’s def a link between religion and...um, alternate facts or whatever.

Why seek an empirical understanding of the world when you could rely on Bronze Age superstition instead?

maintains the [narrow] view that “we’re“ special

Yeah. I’ve found many religious identities to feature what I call “existential elitism.”

They’re soo convinced they’re getting into heaven. Not sure about you non-believers, you guys are on your own, but them religious folks are soo convinced they are.

and it extends to a broader world-view that humans are divinely special, rather than just evolutionarily lucky

I would say there is some evidence that posting on internet sports chat boards makes you dum. Just look up.

Self awareness really isn't your thing, huh?

This is tangential, but perhaps the biggest existential change in my spirituality is loosing the belief in hell.

The Christian god of Abraham or whatever is supposed to be all-loving and all-knowing and all-powerful, right?

So how’s hell exist, then? How’s an all-loving deity also spiteful enough to foster eternal damnation? That sounds like a god who’s not all-loving, but instead is holding a grudge. Get over it, bro.

So why not think of an all-loving god as one who doesn’t threaten you with hell?

Once I did, it was a big existential weight off my shoulders. Spirituality is so much better when it’s rooted in love, rather than fear (of hell).

But my Christian friends have no answer when I ask how the two can co-exist. They get nervous for me when I say believing in hell is not necessary, and even unhealthy, in the context of spirituality.

They act concerned for me, like I’m being blasphemous. They suggest things like I shouldn’t doubt the mysteries of faith, or that I shouldn’t be so bold as to wanna scrap the church’s teachings.

Just imagine the look on their faces when I reply by saying, “I come not to destroy, but to fulfill.”
