Its sad that majority Christian nations are letting in massive numbers of nonbelievers like this and laying down like they're their doormats

Perhaps its the wave of "baby-Jesus" watered-down Christianity

Joel Osteen type shit

Where God loves you how you are and hates the sin, not the sinner

And God has no wrath

That, or the increasing wave of Secularism and Atheism/Agnosticism

Just as much of a plague as heresies and false gospels

If not more, because it's "backed by science"

yeah its very annoying but us believers must go through serious struggle.

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

Yknow, the traditional "Mega-Church" that has thousands of attendees and has a TV broadcast

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
