So many different denominations (and even non-Xtian faiths) have films made promoting theirs and shitting on alternate interpretations;, alternative religions and of course non-believers. On those occasions where it's not blatant hate speech, it's just inane and piss-poor apologetics.
So, just lie down and take it? Or does anyone have a potential solution to propose?
(bolding mine)
Is it really propaganda or hate speech if a given religion in fact prohibits their bishops from marrying, for instance, and another denomination correctly points to Scripture acknowledging married bishops ??
It wouldn't necessarily be hate motivating the disclosure, but perhaps just a desire to see more fealty to the bible and more folks eligible for Salvation.
I'd say all Christians are entitled to know which denominations are 'doing it right' and which ones aren't
Still not really the focus of the discussion; non-believers' response (if any is recommended) to hate speech from every direction faith comes from, is, not what they have to say about each other. They're all producing this crap, we don't seem to have an organized antidote as far as narratives go, just speeches, debates and reviews of these piles of shit.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

There is no better way to convey the least amount of information in the greatest amount of words than to try explaining your religious views.
