Besides the pope not taking a harsh stance on it
As Europe has a large catholic "presence"
But then again, how many of those catholics are truly devoted?
Quite a lot less than one would believe, I'd imagine
Granted, I'd prefer to stay out of Christian infighting so I won't start ranting about Catholics too much
Seeing as a Baptist like me has some choice words
I believe in orthodoxy and I still am not baptized because I guess I just havent been ready but I believe in the teachings.
Honestly, the ideas of John Calvin as far as communities go aren't that bad of an idea in theory
Where the ideal community is centered around the church and all people of the community are members of the church
Issue is that it'd be just as much of a breeding ground for corruption as any other
A great example is the massachusetts bay colony
They had a witch scare and boom
Salem witch trials
In the spiritual section of Calvin's philosophies, however, that's where a large portion of Baptists place reasoning
There and parts of Luther's 95 theses
Of course, there's more, but there always is when talking of Christian Denominations
What I really cant stand is churches who put females and lesbians in these preaching roles and act like its fine
Prots are not the brightest
There are some protestant denominations which have gone extremely sour
Or non-denominationals too
and teaches watered-down theology
The problem is they curve god around their life and not the other way round
If you make the church more like the world to attract attendees, you are teaching heresies and lies
Exactly
And the thing about the church
Is that people go to IT
The church does not go to THEM
and honestly
The western individualism concept has reached such a level that it's fucked it up too
They want God to bend to THEM rather than accept what they are and submit to God
because they have such pride and hubris that they can't see their true flaws and insignificance
Well its all they are told they are told from school church and god is a joke, people are bullied for believing in god, the media make a joke out of our faith but make the jewish one look so amazing.
And the muslim faith too
name one sitcom where there isnt a jew or a barmitfa episode
name one sitcom which doesnt have a jewish producer
🤔

Seriously
The media is toxic
The media is a business
