Oh, society, we are so great and knowledgeable about all things and we have set rights and wrongs and it all works to perfect harmony.

If only we could determine, together, as society, why we disagree about everything.

Conflict isn't necessarily bad.  I think the world is really chaotic, but free discourse, republicanism and democracy is better than the practiced alternatives.

So you're not one to bash someone for holding an opinion that they have come to the conclusion is correct, that is the opposite of your own. Great!

And on chaos. Where did things go wrong? So much went right in forming our planet and us, nature working everything out without a hitch, but now as we continue to progress, we keep arguing, or fighting or killing each other. It seems to me that there is very little chaos in the grand scope of our existence, just a touch, that we can't quite shake and it is the outlier.

you have the same probability of being right as the athiest that says there is no god. both are stabs in the dark.

I don't think either are stabbing. They base their opinion on their own wisdom and I base mine on God's.

[PoetWarrior]

Of all the words being thrown around in these arguments, bigot is the most entertaining!

Didn't Jesus say that Christians should expect to be mocked and should celebrate it?  Seems like that is not often practiced.  It is much easier to claim the persecution, and then appeal to the same secular institutions that are apparently so fallen and broken for protection.

Yes he did. I don't really track with your point in relation to mine. That's fine.

But one is manipulating ppl, through fear, for power, control,  or money.

Your opinion is that God is real.

Are you completely ignorant of the animal kingdom?

I wish Christians would evolve (I'm Christian), but holy crap, these guys don't get it. Simple minded.

[Dugout DickStone]

The biggest step for 99% of religions would be to admit they operate on exactly the same premises as the other 99%

[420seriouscat69]

Yup. If god exists, he evolves. I never understood my dads stance on this.

Animals are not enlightened, we are, through months of willful evolution, so they say. And as a result seemingly capable of avoiding conflict, through societal achievement. Ya know, pony boy.

Define your Christianity.

Christianity is the 1%. Check my other threads for explanation!

Denzel is absolutely a conformist hiding behind teachings of a church to hate on someone different from him that he doesn't understand. It was a very popular stance.

Not for someone who is ~18 and involved in social media.

He went to a Christian school!

That kind of goes against the idea of god

Your beliefs are vastly similar to most religions, with different names.

Not at all, actually. Christianity is the only religion whose God is both infinite and personal. Check it out!

One God,  hates other religions, must force religion on non religious,  some followers get super violent, meaningless restrictions on followers, believes ludicrous exaggerations from millenia ago yet written, rewritten, and translated multiple times by ppl with incentive to make certain interpretation, believes women are lesser beings, don't allow questions, push hard for money for the pleasure of being a member, etc. 

I mean, put all religions in a bag, shake it up, pull one out, and they most likely fit that.

That's the same as saying "you are right but I really want to keep feeling unique"
