True, for the most part. I, for myself, can testity that, even though I have lost «faith» in the traditional part of the christian belief itself, I now find myself having more faith than ever before, because my spiritual understanding has deepened and my heart is opening up more than ever. My connection to life is flourishing.
Sorry to intrude but isn't the Catholic church supposed be be based upon Christianity?
I might not know any Christian mass murderers, but I heard plenty about those pedovores running the show over there near Rome
Ngl. The Catholic Church was never really supposed to exist. I don't recall the Bible saying anything about praying to Saints. These Saints are practically worshipped like False Idols.
The Catholic church is an abomination before God. So much of what they do directly contradicts the teachings of the bible and Jesus Christ. The history of that organization is drenched in sin and blasphemy.
interesting.
Yet there they are, fingering little boys and controlling the planet from DC, London and Rome and doing it in the name of Christianity.
Has NOBODY on the planet the power or the will to take these structures/organisations down?
The Bible does not cause evil acts, death, or suffering. That is like people saying "qanon" causes violent extremism, misinformation, and conspiracy theories,and then quoting other peoples versions of Q, and not reading with understanding the words of Q.
A lot has been done in God's name, that is not right. His Word has not been represented well by some, but so much good has been done in His name too, and acts of courage and strength.
The constitution makes no establisment of religion. So you are free to worship or not as you see fit.
For some people, the problem is that this morality and righteousness is not based on reality or something evidence-based.
Yes, for the most part, Christianity does nurture good behavior and is the foundation of the good western values. However, the motives for these behaviors and values is not based on anything tangible.
This idea is silly, you don't have to worship anything at all to be a good person or an altruistic person. You don't have to worship any particular god to be a good person either. Altruistic behavior even exists in other species.
Religion has done a lot of good for the world but also a lot of bad, Christianity included. So many wars and suffering. Deliberate crimes. Subjugation of vast populations. Political intrigue. Religions are full of the same failings of the non-religious because they are inhabited by human beings. And at the end of the day it is not religion that has advanced the species but dealings outside of it. For a large part of recorded history, humanity has advanced in spite of religious institutions.
I am not disagreeable - I agreed that Christianity produces great results where people do lots of good and establish a society I prefer to live in.
I was answering the question "what is the problem?"
The problem for some people is that the REASON why those who subscribe to Christianity do the good things is not based on reality but faith. Faith that they will be punished if they do not do these things. Faith that they should do the good deeds because it is God's way.
GABs vision is state-sponsored Christianity unfortunately.
And the problem? Christianity breeds Moral and Righteous People.
Ever seen a Religious Christian Mass Murderer?

As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.
Just because you say "facts" doesn't make it so.
The death and suffering is more due to Christians being manipulated by the evil ones.

The Christian behaviors and values are based in Jesus.
I think God saying it is more than tangible.
Alleged witnesses to God wrote your Bible. Not God himself.
How so? The fear of punishment for eternity in Hell provides marvelous results.
Offended by Christianity? I don't care what is posted as long as it doesn't break the law. Let it be posted
What a stupid statement.
The .wins are very Christian as well. As long as they are reasonable about what they allow on their platform, I'm ok with it.
Where do they declare that?
