I got told by someone at my church that they've never seen someone as dedicated to their salvation as I am, doing all this side study

2018-01-22 23:31:49 UTC  

And this guy grew up in the religion

2018-01-22 23:33:16 UTC  

Some people don't manage to absorb much despite living in it

2018-01-22 23:34:00 UTC  

It doesn't help that society says religion is anti-fun

2018-01-22 23:34:16 UTC  

Young people think it's cool to be careless

2018-01-22 23:34:18 UTC  

I'm getting the impression that people who grow up in a religion usually have no gnosis, just understanding that they have to repeat the party line

2018-01-22 23:34:25 UTC  

My religion is not anti fun

2018-01-22 23:34:36 UTC  

Very few are

2018-01-22 23:34:45 UTC  

You Christians have Puritanism and Calvinism in your past

2018-01-22 23:34:51 UTC  

But the Jews on tv create reality for most people

2018-01-22 23:35:06 UTC  

I'm not that kind of Christian

2018-01-22 23:35:41 UTC  

But you are a protestant right? You will be thrown in that bucket by anyone even slightly non receptive

2018-01-22 23:35:49 UTC  

There is a lot of puritanism in protestantism today still, especially (((baptists)))

2018-01-22 23:35:59 UTC  

No I am not a protestant

2018-01-22 23:36:04 UTC  

Baptists are Salem witch hunt retards

2018-01-22 23:36:17 UTC  

What are you, catholic? Orthodox?

2018-01-22 23:37:40 UTC  

Unaffiliated?

2018-01-22 23:37:54 UTC  

Unaffiliated is probably the closest

2018-01-22 23:38:17 UTC  

Or "literalist" something like that

2018-01-22 23:38:35 UTC  

Some guy who read the book and believed

2018-01-22 23:38:39 UTC  

I believe that black people are animals and jews are stans children

2018-01-22 23:38:59 UTC  

Adam was made from dirt

2018-01-22 23:39:06 UTC  

Eve was made from adams rib

2018-01-22 23:39:08 UTC  

Etc

2018-01-22 23:39:19 UTC  

I believe these to be real events, not metaphors

2018-01-22 23:39:55 UTC  

So you believe genesis when it said God walked around in the garden, sewed their coats of skins, yelled over the wall to communicate with Adam, etc

2018-01-22 23:40:08 UTC  

I.e. that God has a physical existence

2018-01-22 23:41:52 UTC  

Yeah I think God can be physical if he wants to

2018-01-22 23:42:05 UTC  

I mean he's God

2018-01-22 23:42:18 UTC  

He can probably do literally anything

2018-01-22 23:43:03 UTC  

I don't completely subscribe to any one translation, I like to review it in several,translations

2018-01-22 23:43:34 UTC  

Details change, but God having a physical interaction with the world is consistent

2018-01-22 23:45:20 UTC  

Normal Christians for some reason believe Jesus lost his resurrected body when he went to heaven

2018-01-22 23:45:46 UTC  

not taking the bait

2018-01-22 23:45:52 UTC  

And believe that the father is the son even though visions of heaven show the father with the son at his right hand

2018-01-22 23:46:10 UTC  

They have all kinds of goofy catholic ideas

2018-01-22 23:46:18 UTC  

Americans aren't intelligent enough to understand the trinity thing

2018-01-22 23:46:27 UTC  

The trinity is fake

2018-01-22 23:46:29 UTC  

HOW CAN HE IS THREE BUT ONE.?

2018-01-22 23:46:35 UTC  

Catholics made it up

2018-01-22 23:46:43 UTC  

how is the burden of proof not on christians for this
