Drich Wrote:Christ allow the church to grow into a perverse monster for a reason, to allow it to mature and grow into what it was always meant to be. Why? because we (Christian's) Needed to see the progression to fully understand who we are and what it is the church is supposed to be. Christian needed that thorn in our collective flesh to help us retain true humility. So that we do not boast of the greatness of man made worship, but to give glory to the attonement that truly saves and not to our own efforts.
Wow. How arrogant can you get? Christ allowed torture and genocide in his name simply so you and others could gain understanding? To believe others were allowed to be slaughtered so you could gain a unique perspective on your religion is nothing short of sickening. You are justifying your God's complete indifference to human life by saying, "well, I benefited from it, so that must have been the reason."
Fuck me, that's disgusting.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
