Doonesbury Trashes Evangelical Hypocrites

[Drich]

meh...

We don't all have to be Scholars to be apart of the church. Reminds me of the teach of One body many parts. meaning if each of us was apart of the body of Christ we could not all have the same function/description otherwise the body would be usless.

If the whole body fit the definition of an ear then we as the body of Christ/Church could not see. if we all followed the rules of the hand then we wold not be able to eat sit or walk.

Each of us are different and it is to that difference we are responsible.

What people like doonesbury doesn't understand is Christianity's fundamentals are completely different from catholicism and Judaism. We are not made to reach for a given bar. we are expected to find our role in the church and honor that role and the differences there in, while respecting the differences between us as members of the same body, in an individual church and on the broader scale of denominations.

Trick question?

That's how white folks rolled, nothing to do with Christianity.

If so, find the part in the bible where Christians are commanded to burn people up.

I recall one guy who was told by a fucking burning bush to sacrifice his own son. 

Yeah. That part.

Moses and Abraham are two completely different people...

It was two completely different gods too? Gosh, this one god thing is getting complicated.

[Succubus]

No True Scotsman in 3, 2, 1 . . .

Sorry to disappoint.

But you didn't disappoint.

No need to quote the catechism to me since I don't consider the catholic church to be any kind of authority.

meh...

But it helps.

See, more mysteries.  It seems like the crowds in both pictures may have had something in common with each other that they don't have in common with the crackers in my living room, but I don't know what it might be, so we might as well blame whitey for that stuff too.

Yeah, they had something in common, they were all christian gladly obeying the dictates of their religious leaders.

1. whether you accept catholicism or not the largest and nearly oldest church on earth does . So arguing on christian faction won't help you . And not accepting their condition well the communists could say the same thing . After all Marx compared The religious to drug addicts and considered the religious unvirtuous. 

2. Their may be atheistic religions (thou that debatable as hell as almost all them have deities even if they are not creator deities. still counts )  But atheism can't be a religion it could be the feature of a system but not were obligations or duties could come from .

[KevinM1]

Yeah, atheist religions is kind of a fuzzy area. Like Buddhism doesn't have a typical creator god, but the Buddha is still revered. Taoism has various ideas of divine energy and whatnot (I actually like the more touchy-feely, Yoda/Mr. Miyagi aspects of Taoism, specifically trying to live a simple, balanced life both internally and in relationship with nature). Etc.

In my experience, when theists talk about atheistic religions, they tend to be talking about those groups that consciously mimic Christian church gatherings. The people who still gather every Sunday at a certain place and sing songs, recite various quotes and verses, etc. My personal view of those groups is mixed... I cannot tell if it's satirical theater, or an actual way for people who were once so entrenched in their religion to wean themselves off of it. In any case, they're certainly not representative of atheism on the whole.

[Amarok]

I'm more talking about deities and deification both are beliefs and all eastern religions . But Huggies already tried this tactic and after i listed off deities he tried to say only creator deities count . I don't buy this . If your telling me Guan Yu is a god of war he still counts as a god . Thus your not an atheist .
