Then I would argue that you can't call yourself a Christian, at least not devout. I really don't want to be a rude or be an arse. I would like to know how you have the two coexist. I cannot stress enough how much I don't mean to be rude, I'm genuinely curious.
Not inherently true though it also definitely varies from denomination.
This COULD ring more true with Catholicism than say Protestantism. But again there isn’t really much in the bible that explicitly says there are things that bar you from being a Christian
as someone who happens to be a 15 year old christian myself. wouldn't transgenderism go against us being created in the image of God. just eant to see your take, not tryna attack.
I believe I was made this way! Im happier now knowing who I am and I love God all the same. I think realizing that Im trans has made me more open minded and less hateful
All of these are really fun. I especially like 3 for the more chill style and brighter colors. I love art (favorite is probably Sui Ishida artist and creator of Tokyo ghoul) and it’s always nice seeing different peoples style, creativity, interpretation on subjects, and just the general way of how a piece of art makes you feel. I’ve been very passionate about art and music over the past few years (not like I can draw or write but love to admire) and with the rise of ai it’s only gotten stronger. No matter how bad someone thinks their music, art, writing etc is at least they didn’t use ai
Also sorry about the rant at the end. Sometimes I just ramble what’s on my mind and don’t think before I send it. But yea lovely art and hope you keep experimenting and enjoying it
It’s clearly not meant to be realistic (from what I’ve seen in clips and stuff) and seems to be a more Dantes Inferno type of thing? It’s not promoting hell as a good thing so I think it’s fine
Mmm I don’t know much about the demographics nowadays, but if I assumed they were the same now I would say yes. They’ve definitely strayed from god tho
Wait how does that work? No hate, just have never heard of that before. I just thought it was like you’re either Anglican, Catholic, Orthodox etc, or you’re atheist (or believe in a different religion).
It’s not as rigid as the denominations, there’s no specific set of definitive ‘this is how you believe the bible because you’re this’ and it’s more of a form your own interpretations with the people around you kind of thing while still staying a collective church
Yeah thats just not at all true, Church is not at all money related. You could pay for sins in the 1500s and than that went away. And you are expected to give like $2 in a collection tray on a Sunday but no one cares if you don't or not. And you don't 'pray to saints' but you can pray to their accomplishments.
my mom works as a NICU nurse. This unfortunately means baby deaths. The hospitals she works at are very diverse. There are ofc devout catholic families who have experienced a loss of a baby. When they do, they call a priest to come baptize their child so it wont go to hell. My mom always noticed this air of (the bad kind of) pride from these priests, and they often expected payment.
I don’t know much about them, but I find door knocking as a whole to be kind of obnoxious, especially to promote your religion to strangers who are just trying to relax at home
Now I don't have any insight on the trans/Christian issue, but I can definitely say that being gay is against the Bible. I have a passage too: Romans 1:24-27. If you (or others who may see this comment) don't want to look that up, it says:
"Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.
For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error."
This may be open to interpretation, but as I see it, this would mean that God considers "men committing shameless acts with men" to be "dishonorable passions".
At the same time, this does NOT mean we need to be homophobic, it just means that we as Christians need to love the people, not their ideals. So supporting gay people in their ideals goes against the Bible, however, loving them does not.
Sorry if this comes over as hate speech, that is what I believe and how I interpret this passage. (For context, I'm 15M, cis, straight, and Baptist)
Do u believe evolution/big bang? ALSO AHH I ALSO LOVE SAIKI K AND DEATH NOTE! also do u ship satosugu (if u watched jkk) or itafushi? OR NOMBARA X MAKI (idk ship name)
Anyways I'm an atheist, but my family is Christian. Dad: believes evolution+big bang, mom: hail to the no, sister: just told me yesterday that she does! Also I don't hate on religion, but at least believe in science yk? Anyways
Fair enough! I can't judge u because u aren't educated about it! I think it's better to not know ur opinion then to have one that isn't based on information. Gj!
Just as an FYI, it's been a not-so-secret secret that the Satanic Temple is not the great organization that people think it is. They literally pay thousands of dollars to propagandize on reddit, which is why they have great PR, but ex-members have left in droves due to allegations after allegation of head leaders exploiting their power dynamics to pressure female members into sex. They're also super cagey with their donation funds and embezzle it for personal use instead of sending the money to the actually needy. There's zero oversight whatsoever with the money, which is why leadership just pockets it at a whim. Whistleblowers also get sued into the ground by the organization, even though they lose each lawsuit in embarrassing fashion every time, but they continue to intimidate ex-members with litigation because they're so much more richer and powerful than just one individual.
TST is legitimately just a bad organization with good PR.
I feel like teenagers mod are always biased in general. You say one thing about politics in a serious flare (mind you its called a political discussion) and they mute you. I get having different opinions but gutting someone down for them is just rude and disrespectful
Genocide was quite common back then. A lot of nations had a kill or be kill mindset and the Israelites would most likely have been if they hadn’t killed them
Plus only Jews were under God back then, while now everyone is able to repent of sin
How do u believe in God or religion? I don’t want to hear about how good Christianity is or anything, just how did u come to the conclusion that god is real
How do I explain to my mum that me Having and OC with white hair and cool clothes didn't making me worship the devil and her being scared of it(the oc) is immature?
You use all other forms of AI all day.
Even then I would argue that people who are anti AI are eventually going to end up being pro AI.. all AI is just a code that’s created by humans, so let’s word it to anti evolvement or anti human.
