Islam is tied to race, it just expands a lot

most of the people that practice islam are refugees here in the US i believe

cant recall any area that openly practices islamic belief prior to the refugee crisis

I think that from the old religions, only Catholicism is not tied to race anymore, and that's because they went out of their way to teach non-Europeans how to praise the lord

as long as there is a 2.0 version of every religion then i don't have a problem with people practicing it

What is your religion? <:mthink:520000393837674497>

concepts from islam like polygamy and those whole black dresses that women wear are outdated in the western sphere

tbh idk

i grew up in catholic household

but i dont practice it

>veils are outdated in the western sphere

Have you read the epistles? they pretty clearly instruct women to wear veils in churches

Normie maybe-catholic-maybe-not-ism, I see

churches have become lenient now

more churches are becoming more tolerant of gays and atheism

basically infidelism

christianity as a whole continues to be expanded upon to fit western values

as for my religion i guess im an openminded person so i might be an agnostic theist

not necessarily constrained to a particular religion

Christianity has been bastardized and butchered to fit any agenda

the teaching of jesus have some merit in a western world

mainly by papist ideas of putting tradition and a human over scripture itself

Oh well, I was that when I was a teenager. <:30yoboomer:521380551316209668>

and everything done by the anglican church really lmao

churches have improved since back then when they were scamming people

Do people really have that many proofs of scams happening?

the concept of indulgences was prominent a few hundred years ago

indulgences are overrated and weren't a massive issue

people paid indulgences to lessen their punishment in purgatory

in countries that are like 90% catholic like the philippines they were definitely an issue

infact had they just listened to luther the reforms would've been done and the church would've merely grown stronger

one of filipino national heroes like Jose Rizal even wrote a book that criticized this particular issue

the issue comes up when the church became increasingly stubborn to change

indulgences themselves aren't necessarily monetary

they are essentially something you do to forgive your sins

like a sign of repentance essentially

that was the idea

but because that can mean just about anything

but some churches abused that

things like donating to the church was an indulgence

the issue was the monetary use of them not the concept itself
