Catholicism.
@Victus Shmmidtt
We can move it here as you said.
OK
Where do we start?
My issues with Catholicism are as follows:
>The Pope is infallible (And yes I know this belief varys among Catholics)
>The Worship of Mary as the Queen of Heaven and co-redeemer.
>Having a Priest Absolve your sin, because he is a man and not God.
>The exists of pergatory and the ability to "pray" your dead loved ones out of it by going to a priest and paying him to do it.
>Allowment of indulgences in exchange for monetary compensation.
>And praying to the statues of Jesus and Mary.
Mt issues with Protestant:
>Not zealous
>A lot of progressivism (depends on the church)
>A lack of dedication to the church.
As of now, I'm actually a Roman Catholic, but back at where I live, the Priests,etc. are outright horrendous, following the wrong agenda even.
Speaking of which, even I've been there with the issues with Catholicism, but I've seen how Protestants, atleast alot of them have varying beliefs, watching a good bunch of them on Youtube,etc. was enough to make me say: "Fuck it, I'm out of here."
You still there?
Why are you even religious?
Believe in yourselves, not God
I'm still here @Yakumo Fukase
Actually, I almost fell for being Agnostic.
Even though I'm 16 LUL.
I'm about to not be though because I'm about to walk on campus and I won't be able to respond.
So say what you want to and Ill respond later.
All in all, I once thought there was something wrong with the Catholic Church, whatnot with the doctrines and such [some of it.], couple it up with the fact of some peeps in the Catholic Church being wolves in sheeps clothing. However Protestantism as I saw was way worse off for me, they tend to have too different beliefs for each individual leading to dissonances in my mind. When I checked what's really the issue, I mean, God would only forbid something if it will cause something bad to happen to me like a sickness or sort right? [Too much drinking,smoking,etc.], but these "Individualists", with their absurd beliefs lead me to think there's not gonna be any solid foundation for me.
Wow Victus... I feel the same as you do above. The modern Protestant Church does seem to suffer from progressivism which I feel causes the other 2 problems.
I think the church would come back if parents acted as parents and taught their children the Bible. Instead we have this faulty thinking that the public school will teach our kids, or that an hour at church is enough for our kids to learn the Bible.
There also needs to be more educated people in the church. There isn’t enough apologetics. We’re called to be able to defend the Bible, but it seems few people can even do that with basic Christian concepts.
@Yakumo Fukase I understand your position. I think most people would have a better outlook on Protestantism if there weren't so many sects. The primary issue being most of those sects such as Mormons, Jehovah's witness, unitarian universalist, etc, which are all complete heresy, get lumped in with the rest of Protestants and the rest of us don't even consider them to be even Christian.
@Andrules The church preached the doctrine of easy believism from the 1960s to the 1980s and poisoned multiple generations. They believe that all you do is sit in a pew on Sunday and say you are a Christian and that is what makes you saved from sin. They also preached a false doctrine that Christianity is based on emotions and how you feel. Which is entirely untrue. God never said he was supposrd to make you happy and remove all struggles from your life, he said the opposite. He said that taking this path will be hard and you will be persecuted and tempted the entire way. Being a Christian is not acting like that rest of the world. Going with the flow is the wrong path. As a Christian you are to break from the normal flow of the world and follow God's path and you must strive continuously to stay on it.
That’s actually why my parents switched churches when I was growing up. Started out in a United Methodist, moved to independent baptist. The UM just went all hippy bullshit. Be kind and happy, that’s all you need to go to heaven and God to love you. The Baptist Church actually taught me the right way. Which is what you listed out.
Oof
Commies btfo
Lol
Oof
There is one Atheist Youtuber that I have come to hate with a passion... Darkmatter2525
atheists in general are really annoying
I personally believe Cult of Dusty hits the most obnoxious factor for me.
No, Darkmatter2525 is worse.
He's the guy who does those terribly-animated shorts that essentially sets up strawman arguments to try to make "all" Christians look bad and it's almost exclusively against Christians.
Wait what?
First glance I think I'm gonna hurl.
Honestly, whenever anyone askes "If God exists, who created God?" misses the entire point.
