Christians have always on principle been very dismissive of me

And I can't see myself signing up for that

I don't agree with a Supreme being lording his power over me if I don't do exactly as he says and at this point theres so many interprations of the Bible it seems as though nobody has an answer anyway

But as all things

It's subjective

You don't have the life experiences I do

Why is this important to you

I'm a complete stranger

Who has no bearing on your life

Who isn't looking to be saved

I have my gods and you have yours

Let's leave it at that

This is also what I resent

We cant just talk about theology and stuff it's for some reason gotta be a ploy to get me to take the bath

I appreciate the kindness

But I respectfully decline

You're telling me to read orthodox literature when I've stated it's not for me

Why else would someone as Christian as you are start off a conversation with "why do you reject christ" when I simply said I'm of a different perspective

It isn't to get into my head and understand how I think

Really feelin' the empathy

Mayhem's first album is great

Well everyone is different

In my experience it's been the opposite

I wonder why people turn away

I'm sure that's a completely well thought out opinion

He practiced what he preached

Can't take that away from him

Absolutely

I judge people on their merits but in my experience

1. Atheists/Pagans
2. Buddhists/Hindus/Protestants
3. The rest of the aberhamics
4. The rest
5. Wiccans

It's my experience

Yes.

Tell me my opinion, personal experience with people I've interacted with in my life is wrong

Sure

Guess Orthodox Christianity is the worst too isn't it

Your move Mong

Well I'd infer a numbered list from 1 in descending order would be obvious

But I guess you win

Right owned you got me

I'll convert tomorrow

Read the Bible I'd guess

Got an uncropped photo at least

The eternal struggle of avoiding digital reading

Exclusively infact

Venetian merchants

That's why

It wasn't the church it was the venetians who were giving boats to the crusaders

They needed a favour

Since they couldn't pay them

The pope was furious

Just because I'm a non believer doesn't mean I don't have an interest in history

Did I do something to you?

There's a lot more Byzantine civil warring and venetian scheming I'm leaving out but that's the gist

I find it very fascinating from a cultural perspective

Some here would say you're worse then me for saying that, but I think that's a fine sentiment.

Live your life my man

Hell yeah dude

What the hell am I gonna do about it

Pure Ego how?

Yes.

How do you figure?

Just because some people don't believe in God doesn't strip away empathy or purpose

Even further so you can apply that coat of paint to anyone regardless of faith

But even further so how does that even apply when living life on its own is serving yourself

There's no one in this world pulling for you more then yourself

Don't you preach God to me based on ego?

Alright then

I don't understand how it's a bad thing then

It's a dog eat dog world

What it's anyone supposed to do

Everything you do is driven by your ego

But this is religion not psychology

That doesn't mean people won't take advantage of you

Employers will exploit employees, people will exploit people in relationships and so on

And?

I don't think you understand what dog eat dog means

>It's a gay argument because I can't refute it

You can't fight subjectivity

But you keep doing it and you keep putting out non points

Nah it's cool I've gotten ENFP, INFP, and ENFJ on different tests

Like of the argument or in general

Mongolite doesn't like non-christian opinions but can't argue his points properly is his big disagreement

What do you mean?

Yes

I guess

Being subjective?

Of course it's inescapable

Everyone is an individual and views things in seperate lights

What does have a bearing on reality

Reality is objective sure but how you interpret the reality is subjective

I never said that

But is that something we can do

But on the grounds of discussing things like religion is subjectivity not inescapable

By all being the same faith I assume

But we aren't

But I'm not arguing scientific method

I'm completely fucking lost this started with Mongolite telling me I do things by ego

Which if you know anything about psychology that's why anyone does anything

I'm more of a Jung kinda fellow

Freud was like "how's it about sex though"

But what does this have to do with Mongolite being a tool
