    Why do christianity get so much hate?

    I don't believe in a monotheistic God, so your question doesn't apply to me

    Why do christianity get so much hate?

    Anybody whose actions oppose the local government and community ideals have a good chance of facing persecution. Which makes persecution not a good sign for being a christian. That is why Evangelicals, Jehovahs Witnesses and various cults, many who oppose each other, say that their persecution...

    Why do christianity get so much hate?

    I lean more towards the idea that we are apart of God. The Atman is the Brahman. We cannot replace ourselves with ourselves. We deny our true selves and the pleasures and terrors of life throw us on the wayward path. If we were secure within ourselves, we would be brave enough to do the right...

    Why do christianity get so much hate?

    I often wish that alot of Christians focused on the important teachings of how they treat others rather than being pharisaic and holding themselves as superior because they follow certain laws. Their ignorance of that blindspot stifles humility and blinds them to their own willful sinning. As...

    Why do christianity get so much hate?

    I see where you are coming from. It is difficult to guage the agenda of pro-Israeli's when they just argue facts. Same with pro-Palestinians. How they interpret those facts and how they end up viewing the other side determines whether they have good agendas or bad ones. You see Palestinians as...

    Why do christianity get so much hate?

    So the reason why I brought it up is because the poster had it in their tag, and I wanted to see how that aligns with their view of Palestinians. In terms of peoples human rights and laws, i think i want everybody to be treated the way I would like to be treated, which is why I vote the way I...

    Why do christianity get so much hate?

    That is a question you should ask the God of the Bible.

    The Random, Meaningless Announcements Thread 3!

    "I am eternal, all this pain is an illusion" - These lyrics of Parabola by Tool is a persistent earworm, and now i am considering it being my mantra to recite before, during and after every Gong fu class.

    Why do christianity get so much hate?

    Is it right for me to conclude then that it hurts you when innocent Palestinians are being killed by the Israeli government? I asked the question that I did to bypass the regular tedious back and forth of people attempting to use selective facts to justify their position in the effort to...

    One God or many gods

    I wasn't aware that hebrew didn't have a word for it. I wonder why and what impact that potentially plays in biblical interpretation. I am aware of the rest of the things you mentioned. I am mainly basing my theory on Adam being made in God's image. So do you think that Adam being male or him...

    Why do christianity get so much hate?

    Your tag below your name says that you love God and your neighbour as yourself. If you are ok with the innocent Palestinians being killed and their buildings demolishes because of the Israeli government, then I take it you wouldn't mind Hamas killing you and those innocents you love to target...

    Politics is the religion of atheists

    Is politics then the religion of American Evangelicals as well?

    One God or many gods

    I mean, Witchcraft could be said to be a fraud as much as God is a fraud.

    One God or many gods

    The monotheistic god is referred to as a He in the Bible. Adam was made in gods image, and Eve came from him. It is quite possible that in some sense the monotheistic God either has one gender, or is an hermaphrodite, with both the masculine and feminine residing in it, like with Adam.

    How Africa is being exploited by banking élites. How US Democrats are on the wrong side.

    I am going to look for Cobalt red. It sounds like an interesting book. When I speak of nations, like referencing the west, Russia and China, I am referring to those in power in the country mainly. So governments, corporations, cultural attitudes. So I am speaking in a general political sense...

    How Africa is being exploited by banking élites. How US Democrats are on the wrong side.

    Yes, because of colonisation, colonised countries of the allied forces fought german colonies on African soil. Regarding China, it has business relationships with many African countries and pays for development. I imagine that they would want a variety of resources such as cobalt, gold and...

    How Africa is being exploited by banking élites. How US Democrats are on the wrong side.

    Yeah divide and conquer has been the go to tactic for the rich to maintain power. We see this now in America on the political stage. But the opposite is true as well, when a single government tries to govern multiple peoples with oppossing views, and the those who want freedom get oppressed. I...

    How Africa is being exploited by banking élites. How US Democrats are on the wrong side.

    So I think that intervention by Western nations in general isn't based on altruism. Their is almost always something political and economic to be gained. It explains why there are inconsistencies in where intervention gets executed. So the resolution gives a reason for why they intervened but...

    Will search those threads. I can imagine why you aren't so Russia friendly. And you wouldn't be wrong.

    How Africa is being exploited by banking élites. How US Democrats are on the wrong side.

    Yes it is the man that pays the piper calls the tune. Russia and China don't help Africa out of altruism. It could be to destroy western domination. But then they will become enemies. That is why I say, Africa should be isolationist.
