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.

Alright, have fun.

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?

This guy.

First glance I think I'm gonna hurl.

Honestly, whenever anyone askes "If God exists, who created God?" misses the entire point.

What religion concerns itself with is how God created humanity and everything around us. As Christianity points out, God is our father and we - humanity and all things - are His children.

In turn, it makes the question "who created God" pretty irrelevant.

That question is outright cringe tbh.

WhO cReAtEd GoD?

when people say "who created God", they show their immense ignorance on the concept of God, and prove they cannot understand that God is a concept beyond human comprehension.

They most likely aren't smart to begin with as well.

atheists, either through ignorance or intention, misconstrue the concept of demiurge for God

The Demiurge eh...

a demiurge is a creator being that may have created the world, possibly the universe, but itself was created, and is not omnipotent like God

God existed before existence

by the way, in case you are misinterpreting what i am saying, i am not saying i believe in a demiurge -- i am merely describing what it is.

Don't worry about it, known about the Demiurge and researched its concept ever since Persona 5

If they mix up God for the Demiurge...

They really need to have their brains checked.

They miss the word Transcendent

Apparently something that transcends all human comprehension and logic and the existence itself is too hard for them to understand. Then again most atheists look at life through a narrow port hole which usually results in only them believing in what fits their arbitary echo chamber

Hence why the doctrine of skepticism is self defeating because what is the point of being a smeptict if you are unwilling to be skeptical of your own skepticism and question why you do not believe.

yeah
