Yet again, Christian Fundamentalists are just repeating the nonsense they heard from other Christian fundamentalists.


 
From the comments section under that video: "I'm a very open minded persons."

Immediately closes her mind when facts come.

What are some of those "facts"?
If you have to say you’re a certain type of person, chance is you’re probably not.
thats every so called open minded cultural christian
 @ApPersonaNonGrata  John 1 in the beginning was the word. and the word was with God, and the word was God. , 24,000 manuscripts, Jesus is the Lord mentioned all over the old testament. more?
​ @larrybarnett5799  If someone doesn't interpret the Bible as highly literal, or inerrant, etc., then: Citing your favorite dogma-texts is like reading from a horoscope to prove people should take horoscopes literally and inerrantly. No mentally healthy and logically reasonable adult is going to be swayed by "my book says my book is true, therefore my book is true". Nor would they be swayed by "I interpret certain verses as literal. Therefore, you should too, otherwise the Creator of the Universe's feelings will be hurt". Nor would they be swayed by "My book says people are wicked if they don't correctly understand my book." Nor would they be swayed by "Anyone who doesn't agree close-ish to 100% with my church's religious views must be suffering from a fatal character deficiency". Nor does anyone owe random religious strangers the time and attention it takes to hear a "special offer from the Creator Of The Universe" ... who couldn't be bothered to speak directly for himself with each person himself. Now, you can say the contents of your favorite ancient stories are impressive. But that's an entirely subjective assessment, which also has nothing to do with whether or not you possess any particular traits of moral character. Also, you can't really provide anyone with an objectively, logically sound (nor ethical or moral) reason for why they should listen or discuss such matters in the first place. Saying "Well, the contents of my book provide such reasons" ... misses the point. Because it's like saying "if you spend a few hours listening to me explain why you need this vacuum cleaner, THEN you'll eventually discover a reason to begin listening to me explain why you need this vacuum cleaner". Even if the product is truly miraculous and life-changing, nobody has a good reason to spend a few hours finding that out. There are thousands of rival religious factions competing for my (and her) valuable and finite personal resources. But none of them float above the ground as radiant sunbeams shine down all around them, while winged angelic figures play trumpets and harps. You've got a book made *for profit* by various companies. Meanwhile, there are hundreds of versions of that book that do NOT all agree with each other about what their various source texts "meant to say". You've also got a pastor and/or licensed corporation, tax-exempt organization, which makes a comfortable living selling what they market as a "free message". You've also got thousands of years of competing Christian factions being violent to each other and also violent to countless innocent children and families. You also live on a planet where the VAST MAJORITY of qualified archaeologists, religious historians, and tenured professors at Ivy League academic institutions... absolutely insist that most of the "facts" your churches use to support their claims with ... are actually just things that post-Biblical churches fabricated out of thin air. Meanwhile, those same experts all agree that the Hebrew Bible is mostly myth and flatly contradicts reality on too many issues to count. ie: Moses never existed, the Exodus never happened, the Torah was written by polytheists, etc.. How can a system of Ultimate Truth be built on a lie? Even the claim about 24,000 manuscripts is wildly misleading; aka: untrue.
From beginning to end, your entire religious project is slopily fabricated nonsense. And every time you say otherwise, you're either being wilfully ignorant or gaslighting.
Finally, your religion is predicated on the claim that the Creator Of The Universe needed a convoluted and violently irrational ritual .... in order to FORGIVE people for the FLAWS he chose to give us in the first place. And even THAT can only count for people who lucky-stumble into a correct-enough subset of a "one true belief system" and then find themselves EMOTIONALLY VULNERABLE enough to generate enough desperate gullibility to even seriously consider whatever luckily-true version they stumble into. What, then, is "Hell"? Hell is listening to religious fundamentalists prattle on about all the "facts" they just made up.

Responding To Ryan Pauly (Christian Fundamentalist) About De-Conversion And Secularism

Image
  These statements (made by you (Ryan) and your guest) are building upon a narrative which is incredibly unreasonable and unethical. First, you frame the narrative as: 'rather than allow "Scripture" to tell us who we are...' This one almost slipped under the radar. The fair and honest way of saying that part of your rhetoric would be: "Rather than allowing 1. my subjectively chosen sect's 2. subjective interpretation of 3. our subjectively chosen religious texts tell you who you are ... ". Although, even that wording wouldn't be totally fair. Since HUMANITY does actually NOT instinctively know that your sub-niche religious faction even exists; nor that your over-arching religious umbrella (or "theme") of "Christianity" is anything they should give attention or credence to. In fact, even the people who are leaving your specific religious sub-culture are only ACTUALLY leaving because they REALIZED it doesn't a...

The War On Christmas. Is that a real thing? And is it really a war against Jesus?

Image
 Today, our journey begins here.   In reply,  someone wrote: "Unfortunately this was true at one point, and would still be if the people with common sense fighting back." --- In reply, I said: There's still no "war on Christmas". Everyone can still say "Merry Christmas". Christian fundamentalists still enjoy pretending to be oppressed." [Note: I made some other observations; offering many points of common ground. However, Kelly didn't really want to talk about any of that. So I've decided not to include it here]  ---- In reply, they said:  "you apparently have forgotten when many companies forbid their employees from saying Merry Christmas, and when companies turned away from Merry Christmas and using the generic Happy Holidays. Apparently you missed our current Vice President and her speech on how terrible it was to say Merry Christmas because it was not inclusive. It is a reality that some folks dismiss. They want Christ erased at e...
