Your mood getting stressed because I'm talking about organized religion in a thread about Christianity is fairly unreasonable. This is a thread started about "Christianity", not the Bible, not what lessons we can glean from the Bible without the bad stuff, just "Christianity" and a specific part of the Bible. You have always been free to make another thread about whatever you want. Last edited by Cretaceous Bob; 09-22-2013 at 11:22 AM. |

I didn't say you said it was beyond criticism. That would be absolutely insane. You're putting words in my mouth. I have talked exclusively about this one aspect covered by the original post and the parts of Christianity that relate to it. I have no idea why you're bringing up historical Christianity and its actions because I didn't, I see it as irrelevant, and I don't care. You called up the straw man argument, and then you deployed the shit out of it. Quote:
I never said Christianity wasn't a broad spectrum. That's a straw man you made up. Quote:

I listen to Christian music, you raging stereotype machine. Not hidden, not covert, not secretly Christian music. Blatantly Christian. Singing about Jesus and shit. Quote:
You've made so many assumptions about me it's crazy. You should really rethink how you view people, because without me saying anything about Christians as people, famous Christians, the possible tolerance of Christians, whether or not some Christians like gays, on and on and on, you made all this shit up and set out to disprove the assumptions you made. But, you know, you're doing a good job of proving how Christians aren't jerks who stereotype the shit out of me. Edit: You know what? I'm a little suspicious that you pulled a bunch of metal songs because you picked up that I'm into metal, and assuming that I don't know about the religion I'm talking about or the music I like would be pretty offensive.

Just doing some quick math Catholicism and Orthodox Christianity combined is like 70% of Christianity and those churches very clearly state that they believe just as I have said. That doesn't even include any forms of Protestantism that believe the Bible is the word of God (hint: it's a whole lot).
Vast. Majority. |

My point is you can't generalize Christianity. Modern Christianity doesn't really agree on anything at all. You can say it does, but that doesn't make it true.
For example there are two popes, multiple versions of the Bible, and Mormonism, what many Christians would consider a cult has a tremendously large following. "Orthodox" is only a matter of perspective. Who is stereotyping who? You say 98% of Christianity is the same thing, and then want to cry foul when I point out multiple examples of how it isn't. I've been talking about a lot of specifics and you want to lash out about generalities. It seems like we were on a different page from the get go. I don't really see how I ever "stereotyped" you when I'm responding to your claim that Christianity is a homogenous religion. It isn't and I backed it up with modern as well as historical evidence and shared specific examples. You've brought nothing to this discussion but: "I'm right and you're wrong." "Edit: You know what? I'm a little suspicious that you pulled a bunch of metal songs because you picked up that I'm into metal, and assuming that I don't know about the religion I'm talking about or the music I like would be pretty offensive." I'm assuming you don't know anything about the religion you're talking about b/c you've proven without a shadow of a doubt that you don't. I posted metal songs b/c people assume all Christian music sounds like Michael Bolton. Metal is as far away from that as you can get. Plus that is the music I listen to, and those are some of my favorite songs. I don't know anything about your personal preferences, nor do I care enough about your opinion to research you for the purposes of this discussion. "But, you know, you're doing a good job of proving how Christians aren't jerks who stereotype the shit out of me." If you want to play victim go ahead. I've tried to address everything you've told me on this thread. You've come across to me as incredibly condescending and arrogant this entire time. Now you want to boo hoo about what a big mean jerk I've been. You don't get to be a bully and demand sympathy at the same time and then turn around and expect me to feel bad. I'm not stupid enough to fall for that. We'll have to just agree to disagree because I'm done discussing this with you. I'm not going to try to have a debate/discussion with someone who provides no evidence and then wants to try to manipulate me into feeling bad for disagreeing with their bullshit.

bob, dear, it's just very hard to get to anything worthwhile beyond "THIS AND THESE PEOPLE ARE BAD" when you speak largely in generalities, which you are.
nothing in this world is black and white. get into the grey. you're a smart dude. stretch your own understanding and open your mind to something you may not believe, but may be real. also, your statistic on dogmatic belief aren't real. cite it or consider the possibility you might be wrong. |
