Most of these individuals act more often than not in complete *opposition* to the *SPIRIT* (not necessarily formal requests) of these faiths
So what do you think of Mormonism
I think brigham young's mormonism is great
I am not sure what to make of this modern retardation
refugee 😃
canned tuna casserole 😃
I think that Mormon missionaries should stop looking like a couple of Americans from a mile away
brigham young mormonism was basically a whole different religion
And by that I mean like a couple of second hand car salesmen
Haha
I'm not saying Pope was great @Deleted User 57835c2c
twinky salesmen
used gayporn salesmen
Are you a polack or what
I'm saying that Protestantism made things worse, more difficult, introduced tons of misconceptions and ultimatelly, got everything possible wrong
if catholics are dalits and protestants actually managed to make catholicism worse, does that make protestants double dalits?
You see, in Catholic times, membership to a certain social caste, did not by definition mean difference in stated religion
Catholicism didn't interfere with it
Church dogma was that "Every man should have a lord"
catholicism does what islam does
back then it promoted radical purity in a fashion that made people into hypocrites
publicly virtuous and privately drunken whores
much like their pedophile priests
Yes, zealotry was one of the problems with Catholic doctrine
All that pope commicated was this: "none of the shit we are talking about is grounded in immediate experience. Regular people who mostly live in the immediate should be excluded so we won't have to face the inconvenience and have to deal with it."
That was preciselly it's more subtropical attitude
maybe that's got to do with the fact that they directly colluded with the Roman government to import POCs
thus bringing the subtropics to Europe in the first place
But never forget that Catholic Church was way less partisan and proletarian than what came to challenge it
The "depth" of the Bible is the product of abstraction and reason. But ultimately this is all removed a degree or more from the narratives in the Bible. So getting back to the stories gets us back to world we actually experience
@vigil#3835 You are giving "depth" the meaning that masses attribute to it, namely, the weight of emotional lessons
Or "foresight into achievements of contemporary science" at best
no I'm talking about all the theological fluff behind Catholicism
The stuff that pope is defending against the assault of the layman and his immediate experience
I certainly agree that Bible is best read without Catholic dogma in mind
But not from the same reason that Atheists do
Atheists read it literally not figuratively as intended
Even if they read it figuratively they still don't get it, but neverind
Yeah it's besides the point
That exactly is the point, that every story can be read from many different angles and with many different ambitions in mind
