@athiestboi Even scripture is still hearsay. The best evidence is direct revelation

The Assumption of Mary was declared dogma by the Catholic Church in 1950, yet there is no clear Bible verse saying Mary was taken bodily into heaven. I believe doctrine should come from scripture, not later tradition. Questioning that does not make me an atheist.

@ChristiansSTDT Didn’t Christians legalize their own wickedness a long time ago?

Who's trying to legalize evil???

@Amaya_etoile They obviously have poor taste

Les hommes hétéros draguent des femmes lesbiennes tous les jours avec un aplomb incroyable, mais qu’un gay vous regarde et c’est un drame national.

@athiestboi Yeah and all the people they murdered in their colonization of the Americas and their Asian territories

With the amount of wars Christians have started on this planet, yall no where near saints.

@NoHolyScripture Proselytization in public without the consent of every listener should be a crime

I praise the court for their decision! Christians have no right to bully people who are already stressed! People can pray anywhere else, rather than in front of an abortion clinic! Keep your god damn imagined god away from people who don't want him!

@YabaiKeikai @timothyjphelan And why doesn’t he teach in a Christian country if idolatry is such an abomination?

@timothyjphelan Then why do you post a photo of yourself at the pagan shrine?

Many foreign friends say they like Japan’s easygoing public approach to religion. They visit shrines and temples while saying they are not religious at all. I understand the appeal. I once felt it myself before returning to the Church. A shrine or temple can be experienced as beauty, history, quiet, atmosphere, tradition, or “culture.” You can bow, clap, buy an amulet, take a photo, and still feel as if nothing very demanding has happened. I doubt most Japanese tourists visiting a Catholic cathedral in Europe would kneel or cross themselves so easily. Christianity is much harder to keep at that distance. It is more than atmosphere.

@arieffamilyman @timothyjphelan You should’ve told your friend that you don’t want to participate in any religious rites because you you have a different belief. It’s best to stay away from Japanese shrines and temples

@timothyjphelan Once, a friend invited me to a tourist attraction in the form of a temple (or shrine). He is a Hindu from Nepal and he did bowing, clapping his hands, and praying. As a Catholic, what should I do?

@timothyjphelan @MifuneRyouma Then why don’t you condemn the Japanese for idolatry? Isn’t that what your religion tells you to do?

@MifuneRyouma Totally agree. This was many years ago. Thanks for caring.

@timothyjphelan Religious observances and rituals of the Japanese is more often a tradition rather than true belief and zeal that are common in the abrahamic religions. I think it’s best to keep it that way. I think excessive zeal, just like too much patriotism, can lead to bigotry and hate.

@Ernest1588761 Because their god is an insecure psychopath

Why did God put the apple in the garden if he knew it was bad? Remember he is all knowing!

@Ernest1588761 Burn them so they can’t ever be recycled

These are the problem of the world. Trash them all together... 🗑️

@xonphused Typical answer is “because yaweh”

We don’t know how everything started and that’s okay.

@theerealtao Religion thrives in a free market

Different religions don’t just disagree about God’s details. They disagree about His nature entirely.

@xonphused When the person turns 18, they can choose to be legally Christian. And they can be punished for violations of Old Testament laws.

@HideStede26 How would that work?

Read it loud and clear

@Ernest1588761 The world’s first sting operation was conceived in the Garden of Eden. The drugs were in plain sight, and a mindless teen was told by a mafia don how wonderful getting high can be 😂

Adam and Eve were setup to fail. How can you be guilty of a "bad" act when you literally don't have the hardware to know what "bad" is yet? God told them not to eat the fruit, but they needed to eat the fruit to understand that disobeying God was wrong.

@Olu_Utd14 I secretly believe that Christian’s are mentally ill and it’s controversial for now

What do you secretly believe that's controversial?

@truetomharley So where did you get all this magic stuff? Was it ducking enough to justify your Christian colonization and forced conversion of the world?

@HideStede26 I dunno. A half dozen disjointed broadsides in a row, none of them having anything to do with each other nor the original topic. You sure it is me that is sick?

Evangelize but learn to respect a ‘no’

@athiestboi Deuteronomy 25:11-12"If two men are fighting and the wife of one of them comes to rescue her husband from his assailant, and she reaches out and seizes him by his private parts, you shall cut off her hand. Show her no pity”

Whats the weirdest Bible verse you ever seen?
