By that metric the Book of Mormon should be believed, too.
Closing question for y'all
By whose authority, and by whom, was the bible composed?
That is what separates a lot of Christians
IMO it was made by, as Father John Misty put it, "woman-hating epleptics"
It was composed by people who were inspired, but not controlled, by God, to record the teachings of the Lord
We know it has some substance to it because white Christian Europeans throughout history have been the only ones capable of developing true civilization and it's based on Christian values
The moral teachings specifically
And through that they were able to have liberty
Ignoring China
Nobody intended the Bible as a scholarly historical or scientific work
It's a theological work
Yes
By God who used his followers and people to write about him and events concerning him, he made it to explain creation to us and so us in the future would be able to know what has been said and what will happen
>Christian Europeans throughout history have been the only ones capable of developing true civilization
*cries in Chinese, Aztec, Sumerian, Egyptian and thousands of other non-Christian civilizations*
What is "true" civilization?
Not one had liberty
But Europe
Who says?
Says history
What value does Liberty have?
"says history"
Fuck off, idiot.
„Liberty“ is not the defining characteristic of civilization it is a false ideal
idolized like the golden calf
Liberty comes AFTER order and tradition and virtue
I'm done with this pseud
Ah ok
It's unique
nvm I take that back
An authoritarian society can still be morally right
well, I don't, I just don't mean it towards you
The problem is not with liberty the problem is putting liberty first
^
It can't come first and it's not the most important
You actually said something coherent
Because you can't have it without traditional Christianity
virtue and piety
