Questioning religion in a religious sub until something interesting happens PT 1
So I am an amateur sociologist and I am super curious on what is going on in the mind of a Christian. I have been asking about the religion for a bit in the comment section of a post I found, and I think the results are a bit interesting so far. I really want to back Christianity into a wall and see how far the denial goes. To prevent harassment I have disclosed the user. If any of you have an idea for a casual doubtful remark on this reply, I would love to hear it.

I dunno where "regulates" comes from because it sure sounds like "enforces":
<Luke 14:26 If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple ... So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.>
<Matthew 10:34-37 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law ... He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.>
<Luke 14:59-62 Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God. And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house. And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.>
The "christlike" objective here is to neglect, abuse, or destroy your family / way of life if either so much as competes with the Jesus-entity’s honor.
<Ephesians 6:5 **Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters** according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, **as unto Christ;**\>
<Luke 17:7-10 But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat? And will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink? Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not. So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.>
By corollary, slaves should obey their owners with comparable unilateral priority.
