<@&588707615643795456> Daily Question ✝

Most of the historic Christian nations have devolved to secularism, war and depravity, to greater or lesser extent.

Why is this the case?
(1) External forces are overpowering Christianity and leading to current conditions.
(2) This is the natural result of adhering to Christian societal values, i.e. This degradation is inevitable.
(3) Neither of the above.

(1) i believe and its also that naturally empires and societys will eventually crumble because of inside disputes and a weak populace

And often the 1st generation of a society will he completely different from any other down the line which means things like religion, values, and ideals with often be forgotten or tampered by outside forces

Unless it is re taught

Hard times create good people, good people create good times and good time create weak people, and weak people create bad times

I think there are many reasons and even though many atheists- who are more of materialistic anti-Christians who want to look cool- argue with what the Catholic church has done ( which is a pseudo-argument agaisnt Christianity as a whole*) , I think there are many reasons why Christianity gets weaker and weaker. Human beings are as social, as sane creatures and a certain thing's success does depend on people's opinions of it even if based on false statements and unproper reasoning. Most people don't understand what religion and God are, even tho they are two totally different things. Most people don't understand how logic works. Most people don't know metaphysics. Most people don't know or understand epistemilogy. Thus atheism was pushed on young people by using their unproper reasonings, false knowledge, delusions and stuff and it was done for the goals of the left.

*I called a pseudo-argument against Christianity firstly because there are different forms of Christianity and the Orthodox church in my country has a history way different than the one of the Catholic one. Secondly, the Catholic church is ironically anti-Christ.

Ironic isn't it

<@&588707615643795456> Daily Question ✝
What is a biblical story or parable that you've always had a hard time with? One whose message isn't clear or that you didn't feel was morally or otherwise sound?

That’s a good question.

Not a single one, but two that people like to cause conflict with

The story about Jesus chasing the moneylenders out of the temple, and the one about the sermon on the mount

genesis 1:1

**Genesis 1:1 - New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)**

```Dust
Six Days of Creation and the Sabbath

<1> In the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth, ```

and noahs ark

@Riley explain

@Veritas well they contradict reality

According to our understanding of the universe, the beginning occurred around 14 billion years ago, and Earth was created around 4 billion years ago

and the events described in the biblical account of creation occurred within the time span of millions of years, not six days

and noahs are doesnt make any sense. I have a video that explains why

This makes the bible *wrong*

what I don't get is how the bible can be infallible if it has incorrect verses.

"it's incorrect because i say so"

well, at one point it was widely accepted that the earth was flat and it was on the backs of several tortoises standing on whales

so what

that doesn't make it true

are you young earth? @Deleted User

and its not incorrect because I say so, its incorrect because we have empirical evidence that supports the contrary

isn't it like

a theory
