Goodnight, thanks for the chat

Same to you. Have a good one.

@Mros so I assume you believe communism is compatible with Christianity? what denom are you?

@Deleted User I suppose it's possible in theory, but I have yet to see one that hasn't accepted heresies or stop being a communist later.

I'm going to become a catholic

Christianity as a matter of principle as well is, I think, opposed to ideaologies that proclaim state atheism

And advocate mass killings

Agreeed

@Mros The Catholic Church actually denounced communism around the 80s iirc

I'm not surprised

There's the answer then

Having said that, I don't think the current pope is too concerned with the socialist public policies

You don't think communism is incompatible with say, the parable of the 3 servants?

In fact, I think he has a heart for the poor and disadvantaged

similiar to concerns for access to healthcare and other state services under democratic socialism models

The only way I could see it being possible is if the communist reject parts of their ideology to coincide with Christian teachings

And even then I'm doubtful

Actually, the parable is incompatible with the fundamentals of communism is what I am saying

not rejecting aspects but outright complete rejection

Ok, good thing I'm not a communist then

heh

so you're non-denom or simply not a ''believer'' yet?

Non denom

as in agnostic/athiest looking to convert?

okay can we fuck off with the religion shit for a couple of hours I just woke up to see you guys still going at it

I do not understand non-denoms I admit

I'm only one due to me being new to it

It feels like they're outright ignoring the Epistle

What's your denomination?

don't notice the symbol in my avatar?

Catholic then

well no, Orthodox, that should be the Byzantine Cross w/ Greek letters

ah

Yes, of course

w/ Cyrillic letters at the top but that's a non-religious thing

I thought that was familiar from history of byzantium podcast

cool man

Ok

Orthodox church, logically and from a secular pov is the one true faith with all other churches having split off, as in we're the original branch

being that Catholics, Apostolics, Oriental Orthodox etc all broke away at some point by rejecting an Eccumenial Council

That is a view point
