but we'll have the final laugh
My dad (god) can beat your dad
The gods of the Romans became aspects of Christianity, which is Judaism.
Lady Liberty is the Roman goddess of liberty.
She is a statue, not a demigod in Christian mythology
Some Christians like to make statues of pagan gods
they're still pagan gods, not Christian ones
Saints and pagan gods are totally different. Even if both represent say a meadow. The saint is a dead human in heaven and the god is a living powerful being in the meadow.
No, the saints were characters that came from pagan deities and spirits that were adapted into the Christian canon.
Some gods may be saints, others were turned to demons
whatever suited them politically
In the early days, when it was still jewish whining, they turned them to demons
That's what's actually in scripture
Where is the scriptural basis for sainthood?
and that the church can declare saints?
and that one can pray to patron saints for help?
@sdlkfmbklfnldneg *nords become the pussy pedestal*
I'm not saying it doesn't exist. I am asking to see it
I THINK THE ONLY WAY TO APPROACH THE RELIGION ISSUE IS THROUGH LOOKING AT THE UNDERLYING PHILOSOPHY
ARE WE MONIST, OR DUALIST?
IS NATURE IN ACCORD WITH THE HEAVENS, OR NOT?
The difference in characterization is important
Nature is divinity is blood is faith is people.
Dualism can be okay, if you view them as software and hardware, or as matter and behaviour
CHRISTIANITY WILL BECOME WHAT IS NEEDED
That's not a foolish model
Why is he capslocked?
ALTERNATIVELY, THE CURRENT CHURCH HAS DRIVEN AWAY ALMOST EVERYONE
I think it will continue declining
It's just a thing, it has to do with his phone
a thing he does

Oh, alright.
it's a joke
@༺པརབྱར།བསངཇ༻ I AGREE, AT LEAST FOR THE MAINSTREAM CHURCHES
SO THE BIG POINT IS
WHAT DO WE ACTUALLY BELIEVE?
AND THEN WE MUST FIGURE OUT HOW TO SUPPORT THAT WITH A RELIGION OF OUR OWN
