New theistic chew toys wanted!

[Ahriman]

I am not sympathetic to atheism, at all, but I still try to see the value in the atheist perspective. And those people making inane posts on social media? That  is a valid form of Christianity, arguably the most authentic form. Even back when I practiced Catholicism, I never considered myself a Christian. Catholicism isn't pure Christianity in the first place, it's more like a hybrid of paganism and vaguely Christian ideals.

Inane posts are a valid and authentic form of ignorance.  I don't care what religion or non-religion the person identifies with.

I have to say that fundamentalism is brain-dead stupid, but it is authentic to the holy texts.  If a person truly believes that their holy texts are given word-for-word by a God, then that person MUST become a fundamentalist to be honest to those beliefs (though how they deal with contradictions, I don't know).

Modern "feel good" Christianity exists by explaining away or ignoring all the embarrassing bits of the holy texts.  I think that's a good idea (though they should ignore most of the rest as well), but it certainly isn't authentic to the bible.

It's a good thing the Bible has little to do with Catholicism.
