    The most effective way to damage Christianity is to read the parts of the Bible they don’t talk about

      I don’t know, part of believing in religion is doublethink. Many religious will say “just don’t think about it” when presented with contradicting information. That’s why religion encourages suppression of free thinking.

      I was raised Southern Baptist, did the youth group trips and church services. Eventually decided I’d jyst read the Bible cover-to-cover. Got to the end of that book, thought about it for a while, and came to the conclusion it was all bullshit.

    not to be that guy: but that’s a cross not a crucifix. A Crucifix contains the crucified Christ hanging on the cross. Most Protestants, as most Americans are, don’t utilize the crucifix in anyway.

    The worst people I’ve ever met in my life wore a cross.

    There is no hate like Christian love.

    You will probably also have to spend 25000 years in purgatory: sitting in a cauldron full of boiling oil, naked.

    If the losers could wear a swastika too, they would. These asswipes remind of the photos showing German Protestant and Catholic priests wearing a cross and swastika urging the young men to their duty for God and the fucking Nazis.

    Any “Christian” who isn’t calling them out loudly is complicit and deserves to have their religion dragged through the mud.

    Anyone who dismisses them by saying “oh they’re not ‘real’ Christians” is deluding themselves and is carrying water for fascism.

          This is how it’s meant to be for Christians as well since their book tells them that only god is the judge of people’s hearts.

          Doesn’t stop them from constantly using the “not a true Christian” refrain.

        You know that bishop telling clergy to get their affairs in order and that the time for resistance is now? Yeah I’m pretty sure that guy is a real Christian, at least based on the words attributed to Jesus.

    That’s not a crucifix, it’s just a cross. Point still stand though. Fuck Bondi.
