I think it’s good to share information and engage in conversations about Christ. I noticed this community has a lot of “religious” posts but I’m often seeing common misconceptions and a lot of negativity or hopelessness.
Are religious posts encouraged on this forum? I have been working on a series of posts over on the christianity . win and I’m wondering if there would be more conversation by posting here
Saw this a bit late but since there’s already a Christianity dot win why do you think you need to spew that in a dot win set up for something completely different? You wouldn’t want me and 20 others flooding your forum with V8 posts and comparing the religions of Dodge Chevy or Ford, why would we want someone coming into conspiracies and adding topics that don’t pertain? Unless it’s a conspiracy angle to religion, it doesn’t really belong here. The fact that any of you here can take a look at governments official paperwork, history books, movies, radio, television and social media propaganda and see that it’s altered, edited, curated and guided to push specific narratives but then completely go blind when it comes to your holy book of choice really says something. And it’s not good. You never seem to go with any other religion either. No one ever seems to come here pushing the teachings of Odin. No wacky Japanese gods. No old Chinese gods. No Aztec religion pushers, no one trying to say it’s really Zeus in charge. Just your Christianity, a religion full of Jewish bullshit among other crap. This forum isn’t dying due to glowies it’s cause too many of you think this is your bible study class.
It’s unfortunate that someone has made you think it’s a about picking a “holy book”
Imagine thinking sometbing like
The problem with this mindset is twofold:
If someone thinks everything else is altered, but conspiracy theory sub is pure, their a fool
If someone thinks investigating conspiracies is limited to the internet, especially to this particular community, again they are a fool
If you really get into it, the culture and mindset on how to view the world becomes the drawing factor. I’ll leave it for you to discern whether I’m referring to the conspiracies community or to the Christian community
Sorry for a late reply, things are a bit hectic here on the ranch with some equipment repairs and the animals.
You have a coherent reply with out attacks on your opponents character, such a rare thing these days I’d be remiss if I didn’t point it out and say good job. Just because it’s the internet doesn’t mean we can’t be civil.
I’m not too sure what your two points are trying to make to be honest. I’ve never said this forum nor the internet at whole is the only way to investigate conspiracies nor do I think this site or any other is “pure” and unaltered. I however can look at human history and corruption and see every single thing we’d made up get that treatment. From books to movies to the internet to vehicles to anything you wish to choose. We KNOW it’s been altered, changed and fucked with. So unless you’ve got an original of something they haven’t fucked with, you have to question the validity of your source. Now if we apply this to religion?
Do you have unaltered, original literature from the time these supposed events happened? With collaborating documentation from other sources mentioning the same thing? And you can read the text in its original form, not translated and mistranslated or intentionally mistranslated? I know it seems I’m asking the impossible here but when my opponents come claiming supernatural powers and events, those things require a great amount of explanation not simple “believe and have faith!” And after being raised Christian and looking for the answers and finding fuck all but the corruption and deception, I find it hard to believe that people who congratulate themselves on seeing through the newest psyop and bullshit kabuki theatre the “elites” put on can’t look at religion and see the same. A preacher promising eternal afterlife in a golden heaven is no different to me than a quack doctor pretending to switch a customers genitals with surgery. It’s a false promise to a mentally deluded or simple minded fool simply wanting an easy answer.
When you look at an NPC believing the next current thing, and you can’t believe they fell for it again, we’ll that’s those of us who see through religion watching a bunch of people doing the same thing again. And again and again.
People wanting to see a buff Jesus wrestle a big mean Satan and cheer him on are no different than the Q believers. It’s sad to watch, it really is.
Thank you for this reply!
I think something you may be alluding to can be found in a recent post I made. It’s super short, so I will just copy and paste the contents here. The name of a demon (please be patient if that is not something you believe exists), is translated as “night bird” because the translators felt uncomfortable to put a pagan goddess / demon in the Bible. Is this the sort of thing you are talking about?
I found it on a podcast (linked below) but was able to verify it using the BLB app which has access to the original language.
I think you’re questioning the methods by which the reliability of a source can be verified. I asked something similar once myself, trying to explore what a university actually would be. I don’t remember the entirety of that explored conversation but it may be a post in my history. The idea was to question at what point an organization (a group of people united under one common belief) is no longer valid; another example would be to recognize the corruption of the medical field, but also to recognize it would be stupid to say we should completely restart the medical field.
