This might blow your mind but they're both equally Christian.
ShouldersDeepInAHorse
Is an ISIS member and Mahmood who runs the 7/11 down the street "equally muslim" too?
Yes. You can't gate keep what people believe. I guarantee you both would have tons of passages from the Qur'an to support their position. 1
The caveat is that I know much more about Christianity than Islam so I know which bible verses are used to justify each end of the spectrum2
It seems like you're equating Islam with goodness. That's not the case, it's just a religion. It says nothing about individual morality. 3
dingleberrysauce
you should probably elaborate before all the downvotes. they're equal in the sense they're both sinful and in need of redemption, but i 1/
wouldn't generalize or assume any more than that.
Nope they both claim to be Christians and are both equally out of favor with the bible. Everyone wants to cherry pick verses & gate keep who
Gets called a Christian so they can pretend only the ppl who believe like them represent the faith. Its a no true Scotsman fallacy 2

And they have a “Bless Your Pet” day!! ANY PET!!!

RanchoCucamonga
Issue was the institutional coverup that went up to the pope. Somehow the % of priests that are abusers is lower than the general public
At least this is what we know of, so who knows the real covered up rate might be higher
That seems unlikely given the staggeringly high number of confirmed pedo priests....
I saw it on PsychologyToday so YMMV. I do like Catholic worship, services, art, and history but I wouldn't get too close to the priests lol

From my understanding, so long as he doesn't "take the Lord's name in vain," he's good.

But swears are not actual curses.
cybermage256
Which has nothing to do with swearing...
You're extrapolating from a single commandment. The rest of the bible fleshes out the issue. It's firmly against swearing
Which is still not taking the Lord's name in vain...
Muhfynmann2
Correct! It’s meant more like how the crusades were fought in “Gods” name but were horrible atrocities.
Or Aunt Sarah thanking Jesus for hitting all the green lights on the way to bingo.
Morsalbum
yes. that is his point, yes. saying 'god fucking damn it' or hell, even saying 'god damn it' instead of FUCK THIS FUCKING THING is worse lol
*REALLY* like *REALISTICALLY, IN REALITY, IN ***REALLLL*** CHRISTIANITY* (is my point clear to the rightwing usa?) you can say anything
you can do (almost) anything. jesus died on a fucking cross for literally this, they literally dont know a single fckin page from the bible
RedFlameGamer
The bible does not once infer that profanity is unnacceptable. Taking the "lords" name in vain is closest. I will tho, god's a hoe.
yeah same. exactly. saying 'god damn it' is literally ∞ worse than 'FUCK THIS CUNT FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT BASTARD CUNT BITCH FUCK' like jfc..
im literally more (proper) christian than these magatard subhuman degens that preach their braindead bullshit of supposedly being christian
***and im atheist or agnostic or whatever, if i believe in ANYTHING, its 100% not any of the dogshit war causing trash thats worshipped atm↑
SouperScott
I'm a bad christian and this made me lol at work.
Christians don't read the Bible anymore... there are loads of verses against swearing. Do a quick Google search
Fun fact, according to Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible, insulting god is the only unforgivable sin. Following that logic-
Jesus died so that we could go to Heaven by inviting God into our hearts since we're 'cleaned' by Jesus' blood. Meaning-
God doesn't give a shit about his son's sacrifice if you talk shit.
Ephesians 5:4 Let there be no filthiness nor foolish talk nor crude joking, which are out of place, but instead let there be thanksgiving
Dang the pilgrims landed in America that early???
Does not seem to uncontestedly refer to profanity, and also that chapter isn't one you want to tout, if you're defending that ancient tripe
Given it basically tells you to be a hollow shell of a person and also "Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord"
I'm an atheist. I just want you to be informed
PrPlump
"But I want to be a victim too!" - Dude who will never be persecuted for his beliefs, origin, identity, or sexuality.
crazymojomonkey
never? mmmmm dunno about that. But I get your vibe. In other countries Christians are killed daily -I've been to the churches some came from
so it's pretty safe here, but that's def not the case (in Africa and China/N. Korea esp)
Desh23
I think Africa has the highest amount of Christians in the world. And you get locked up for pretty much anything in North Korea
Well, that depends a lot on how you measure Christian but in general I think there's a lot in Africa who claim to be but more in China who
are but stay underground. In N. Africa (where I was) it was %98.9 Muslim & persecution was 'illegal' but killing Christians was shrugged off
I know, I'm not saying otherwise. But this dude, and wannabe victims like him, don't live in countries where Christians are hunted.
GreenTeaParty

Is that first part a quote? It's so succinct and I never heard the sentiment put so well.
I heard it from Michael Brooks (RIP) on the majority report all the time. It's prob a quote but it's been said in lefty circles for ages.
Not arguing but that's a great description of so many groups from Karens to Over privileged teens/adults/old people, etc etc That's why
getting everything you want is bad: humans have an unbelievable capacity to adapt-even to good stuff. So if you're used to perfect climate
just the right tunes and food, etc then it doesn't take much to throw them into a funk

I've decided to be louder. Wish we could put false Christians down and take back our places of worship. It may take all of us.

Do it. They did it, you can do it better.

This might blow your mind but they're both equally Christian.
ShouldersDeepInAHorse
Is an ISIS member and Mahmood who runs the 7/11 down the street "equally muslim" too?
butterflybuttler221
Yes. You can't gate keep what people believe. I guarantee you both would have tons of passages from the Qur'an to support their position. 1
butterflybuttler221
The caveat is that I know much more about Christianity than Islam so I know which bible verses are used to justify each end of the spectrum2
butterflybuttler221
It seems like you're equating Islam with goodness. That's not the case, it's just a religion. It says nothing about individual morality. 3
dingleberrysauce
you should probably elaborate before all the downvotes. they're equal in the sense they're both sinful and in need of redemption, but i 1/
dingleberrysauce
wouldn't generalize or assume any more than that.
butterflybuttler221
Nope they both claim to be Christians and are both equally out of favor with the bible. Everyone wants to cherry pick verses & gate keep who
butterflybuttler221
Gets called a Christian so they can pretend only the ppl who believe like them represent the faith. Its a no true Scotsman fallacy 2
FierceAndAdorable
Claiming to being a Christian and being a Christian are not necessarily the same thing. I can claim to be an Olympic champion, 1/2

Oh man
People seem intent on missing the point. They just want to spread hate however they can.
XplodingUnicornGlitter
And then these people turn around and wonder why they’re so hated. Absolutely disgusting.

I actually don’t think they wonder or care. They think they’re right and we’re all wrong. They’re content with that fucked up thinking.

I'm not religious either and don't practice...I've went to a few churches for different reasons. Sometimes it's nice to see what they teach.
HazyKitten
You want all inclusive??? Try Episcopalian. Robin Williams was Episcopalian. He gave 10 great reasons to be one!! Nuff said.
HazyKitten
Fun fact: I grew up in an Episcopalian household. I don’t practice now but I can get behind a church that actually loves everyone!
HazyKitten
And they have a “Bless Your Pet” day!! ANY PET!!!

I used to enjoy going to my friends church after sleepovers, but that was more because they had a breakfast buffet

Used to go to a Christian youth group. They knew I didn't belive but were always welcoming. Learned one of the most important things from em

They thought me to basically never hate a person but the things a person does. Change my view on so many things.

Catholic seminary is pretty demanding academically, these men read the Bible ,not to mention the social isolation, and celibacy requirement

A lot of them seem to skip the part about not buggering children though...
Evi1Gav
There is literally a story on the Bible about a man giving his daughters to a mob to rape, as long as they stop hammering on his door.

Strange how some of those stories don't get quoted nearly as much as the others.

I play D&D and go to the gym with two priests. Let me tell you, they're just people who cuss and play games and know a little klingon.

There is nothing in the Bible about cursing. However, there is a lot about spreading the Word, which means using the vernacular IMO.

Monsignor Biel loved whiskey when Steelers play, cursed at u if you knowingly did wrong, & loved the LGBTQ community here. Best priest ever

I grew up Catholic. Our priest got so angry with the photographers taking family photos during parish event that he called them assholes.

It was awesome. He later said his temper was high - and that he was a priest, not a saint… :D many Hail Mary’s that night…

oh man growing up Catholic you learned, Priests do not give a FUUUUCK
MoreButterForMyHam
The younger priest at my parish growing up always held short services, so he could smoke inbetween mass
GrumpyOldMillennial
Well, they do, but only to young children apparently.....
libsabeth
Everyone else already was thinking it.
GrumpyOldMillennial
In my defense, I was both a boy scout (yes we did, no I wasnt) and an altar boy (orthodox not catholic.)
RanchoCucamonga
Issue was the institutional coverup that went up to the pope. Somehow the % of priests that are abusers is lower than the general public
RanchoCucamonga
At least this is what we know of, so who knows the real covered up rate might be higher
GrumpyOldMillennial
That seems unlikely given the staggeringly high number of confirmed pedo priests....
RanchoCucamonga
I saw it on PsychologyToday so YMMV. I do like Catholic worship, services, art, and history but I wouldn't get too close to the priests lol

Shit
MrSmilingDeath
From my understanding, so long as he doesn't "take the Lord's name in vain," he's good.
Imapseudonym
Taking the Lord's name in vain means to claim to speak for him while teaching falsely. Joel Osteen for example.
KrampusCopia
James 1:26 If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person's religion is worthless.
DildoRodeo
People equate morality to clean language but even jesus said fuck yall trick ass loan sharks.
MrSmilingDeath
That could be paraphrasing on your part, but I'm no expert on the matter. Love the username btw
DildoRodeo
Nah that's verbatim, page one of the Bibble. And thanks, it's a wild ride.
MrSmilingDeath
Ah, forgive me for questioning the word of the mighty Jimmy.
Bonana
I saw an article about this. Cursing implies witchcraft. "May your crops shrivel, and your livestock be sick and frail."
Hashbrown123
But swears are not actual curses.
cybermage256
Which has nothing to do with swearing...
KrampusCopia
You're extrapolating from a single commandment. The rest of the bible fleshes out the issue. It's firmly against swearing
cybermage256
Which is still not taking the Lord's name in vain...
Muhfynmann2
Correct! It’s meant more like how the crusades were fought in “Gods” name but were horrible atrocities.
Muhfynmann2
Or Aunt Sarah thanking Jesus for hitting all the green lights on the way to bingo.
Morsalbum
yes. that is his point, yes. saying 'god fucking damn it' or hell, even saying 'god damn it' instead of FUCK THIS FUCKING THING is worse lol
Morsalbum
*REALLY* like *REALISTICALLY, IN REALITY, IN ***REALLLL*** CHRISTIANITY* (is my point clear to the rightwing usa?) you can say anything
Morsalbum
you can do (almost) anything. jesus died on a fucking cross for literally this, they literally dont know a single fckin page from the bible
RedFlameGamer
The bible does not once infer that profanity is unnacceptable. Taking the "lords" name in vain is closest. I will tho, god's a hoe.
Morsalbum
yeah same. exactly. saying 'god damn it' is literally ∞ worse than 'FUCK THIS CUNT FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT BASTARD CUNT BITCH FUCK' like jfc..
Morsalbum
im literally more (proper) christian than these magatard subhuman degens that preach their braindead bullshit of supposedly being christian
Morsalbum
***and im atheist or agnostic or whatever, if i believe in ANYTHING, its 100% not any of the dogshit war causing trash thats worshipped atm↑
SouperScott
I'm a bad christian and this made me lol at work.
KrampusCopia
Christians don't read the Bible anymore... there are loads of verses against swearing. Do a quick Google search
DildoRodeo
Fun fact, according to Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible, insulting god is the only unforgivable sin. Following that logic-
DildoRodeo
Jesus died so that we could go to Heaven by inviting God into our hearts since we're 'cleaned' by Jesus' blood. Meaning-
DildoRodeo
God doesn't give a shit about his son's sacrifice if you talk shit.
KrampusCopia
Ephesians 5:4 Let there be no filthiness nor foolish talk nor crude joking, which are out of place, but instead let there be thanksgiving
DildoRodeo
Dang the pilgrims landed in America that early???
RedFlameGamer
Does not seem to uncontestedly refer to profanity, and also that chapter isn't one you want to tout, if you're defending that ancient tripe
RedFlameGamer
Given it basically tells you to be a hollow shell of a person and also "Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord"

"But I want to be a victim too!" - Dude who will never be persecuted for his beliefs, origin, identity, or sexuality.
crazymojomonkey
never? mmmmm dunno about that. But I get your vibe. In other countries Christians are killed daily -I've been to the churches some came from
crazymojomonkey
so it's pretty safe here, but that's def not the case (in Africa and China/N. Korea esp)
Desh23
I think Africa has the highest amount of Christians in the world. And you get locked up for pretty much anything in North Korea
crazymojomonkey
Well, that depends a lot on how you measure Christian but in general I think there's a lot in Africa who claim to be but more in China who
crazymojomonkey
are but stay underground. In N. Africa (where I was) it was %98.9 Muslim & persecution was 'illegal' but killing Christians was shrugged off
PrPlump
I know, I'm not saying otherwise. But this dude, and wannabe victims like him, don't live in countries where Christians are hunted.

Is that first part a quote? It's so succinct and I never heard the sentiment put so well.

I heard it from Michael Brooks (RIP) on the majority report all the time. It's prob a quote but it's been said in lefty circles for ages.

Not arguing but that's a great description of so many groups from Karens to Over privileged teens/adults/old people, etc etc That's why
