"Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins."

Yeah, forgiveness is a good fruit

Anyway it’s just one of the smaller bits of the Bible I vaguely remember from primary school

lucky. I wasn't taught the bible ever. I was raised atheist

I went from jew to atheist to agnostic to theist to Christian

I went full circle

wild ride

I kept looking for answers at one point

And the truth was Jesus.

If I could explain my position, I do not believe that religion is bad in of itself, but neither is not believing in anything. I believe religion, especially in the past, was crucial in survival, teaching important lessons in forgiveness, kindness and empathy and patience. I myself am technically “Buddhist”, but I do not pray to the gods-I simply watch what I consume. I do believe the lessons of forgiveness are incredibly important in Christianity, as another example.
I suppose you could say I have a rather liberal view on religion.

That sounds new agey

New age is satanic

We had bible lessons in my first 6 years of school and the teachers where incredible forceful to push beliefs to everyone

>forgiveness not incredibly important
whatchu mean?

What

I didn’t say that

She said they are

what did u mean

I said that they were-

oh

i see now

Lol

S’fine

sorry i'm just a simple Christian

Anyway, my issue is when the interpretations of religion starts to stray from what good morals it tries teach, such as forgiveness, and kindness, and act in violence and wish violence on others. Perhaps you believe it’s satanic, but that is simply my view.

i think a gay agenda is a hoax

yeah that sounds like good doctrine @floris

it was made by fundamentalist christians to increase hostility

Who needs a Bible when you can have the app on the phone

I said new age is satanic

There really isn’t any such thing as a gay agenda nah

The whole fake love and pushing Astral projection, meditation, fake love

@floris marry me

so multinationals putting gay rainbows all over everything is not propaganda?

I also don’t think there is anything wrong with religion it is what you do with it that determines it

Nope! And there’s a single key bit of evidence which supports it

Where is straight pride month

floris#1836 LANGUAGE!!!

Whoops, sorry

I think that's every month
