BF2S Forums Religions of the world Thread

They also give sanctuary and approval to paedophiles and murderers.

Using an obscure loophole to subvert democracy isn't civil disobedience, standing out in the street blocking the police might be.

I knew Jehovah's Witnesses were real but I never looked into them. I assumed they were a type of Mormon.

Did you know they don't celebrate any Holidays? That is stupid. Why would anyone want to be part of a religion where you don't have any fun?

I knew JWs didn't do Halloween. But You would think Christmas was universal among Christians.

I think fondly of Mormons. They do seem okay.

Counting hospitals...so American. Hospitals shouldn't be something religious institutions need to build.

I appreciate that the Mormons are willing to send their dressed up missionaries into the hood to talk to people. Like all churches, they have ulterior motives but you don't see Trumpist Megachurches sending their Kyle Rittenhouse's into the hood to try to convert people to the gospel of Joel Osteen. I think I would prefer JW not celebrating Christmas to having to spend the Holidays with Evangelicals.

For fun, Google News Joel Osteen today.

the zaniest thing about them is that they refuse blood transfusions and a whole range of pretty common hospital treatments. a lot of JWs die for absolutely no reason.

strange institutional survival policy to encourage your adherents to die of completely avoidable minor ailments. almost impressive.

most of these institutions have just been captured by a totally self-serving elite/elders/council/etc. and have perverted it. there’s no way things like mormonism and JWs aren’t intensely ‘worldly’ and interested a litttttle too much in wealth and power in this world rather than the riches awaiting good faith in the next.

Why are these Jews in front of the Pope?

why are jews specifically known for abusing teenagers?

Saw a YouTube priest debunk "God of the old testament is mean while the new testament God is merciful". The priest explained that the Jesus talked of hell and punishment for sinning more than anyone else. And the that God is merciful but "punishes like a parent punished their child".

His explanation actually makes me like Jesus less. I see enough suffering and pain already. I don't want to be part of a religion, movement, or anything else that makes not following some silly rules a damnable offense. Being kind and treating others is hard as it is already. Can I just be rewarded for that instead of also needing to go to church, sit there and be lectured by a pedophile? Can I at least be evened up for being nice and charitable without needing to go to a church?

Some of the parables of Jesus were sus too. This one is strange.

A lot of stuff needs to get cut or retconned for the Third Testament. If I had to write it...keep the vengeful God of the Old Testament, remove all of the stuff Jesus said about hell and punishment, and then include an explanation of how God went vengeful to merciful. Maybe Jesus explained to him how hard humans have it and he decided to go much easier on us all. And in that case the only thing he really wants us to do is be kind to each other and visit a church every so often.

Also the new Bible will need to be much shorter. The Koran is 10% the size of the Bible. You could finish it in one sitting. That is the right idea. The Bible needs to be shorter than the Koran so that nobody has any excuse not to try to read it once. Nobody is memorized by thick books anymore. They just take up too much space. It wouldn't be crazy to offer an abridged and unabridged version. Maybe a Special Edition Collectors with deleted scenes.

Finally, the Last Testament™ needs to have a lot less metaphors and be much more straight forward. If most of the FT is just extended monologues by God explaining why he closed Hell, got less weird about sex and food, and only intervenes sometimes then that will be a real improvement over the system we have now.

Anyone familiar with the Fatima and Russia thing?

"According to Lewis, only a tiny percentage—maybe 3 to 5 percent—of the 50 million Catholics in the U.S. even know about the Fátima debates. “But it’s a key 3 percent,” he said. “They follow Catholic news, want to know what’s going on in the Vatican, are die-hards for apparitions. And they’re seminarians—young priests. … This stuff is preached from the pulpit.”

I just realized I spent Good Friday committing adultery. Realized it as someone was talking about going out with the family on Eastern Sunday.

I have to send $20 to the Red Cross now.

Easter doesn't even feel like a real holiday.
