Stupid things religious people say

[Ahriman]

Sincere Christians definitely aren't going to Heaven, if Heaven and Hell really exist.

Sincere Christians definitely aren't going to Heaven, if Heaven and Hell really exist.

Don’t be so stupid - of course sincere Christians are going to Heaven. It doesn’t matter that the rules for getting in are pretty horrible. As long as you play by them (which is what sincere Christians would do), you’re in like Flynn.

In not accepting Jesus as your saviour, you will suffer eternal damnation in hell.

Since neither hell or Jesus exist now, or ever, that's not much of a threat.

Indeed: all threats against Humans that are written into the bible, as well as other religious books, are based upon fear-mongering lies.

Yeah that's not how it works. In order to go to Heaven, one must be a good person, and Christians are anything but good people. You really think God is going to be fooled by their devotion to the rules of Christianity? Christianity can be thought of as a morality test, and Christians have failed.

That’s EXACTLY how it works. Look up ‘divine command theory’ and get back to me.

From an FB group:

Christianity is objectively true because atheists can't exit their own big brained skulls to make truth claims. Meaning everything they say is conjecture.

Oh well, Christians do claim that everyone has their own path to reach God

'Tarot Cards Made Me Catholic Again, They're for Christians Too

I bought my first tarot deck in 2015 because I was bored and restless and felt like I was spiritually drowning without that gravity of faith. I was 25 years old and mothering two sons under the age of two while my husband was busy in law school. I was struggling with the perceived loss of self that often accompanies the first years of motherhood.

I quickly fell in love with how tarot scratched my itch for the ritual of religion, and how it made me feel seen.

The sneaky thing about tarot—the thing about tarot that folks rarely talk about—is that it's filled with Christian imagery. I would pull Temperance and journal about the presence of that Christian virtue in my life. I would pull the Hierophant, a Pope-like figure, and meditate on the joys and sorrows of my relationship with the institutional church. I would pull the Devil and reflect on the nature of my own particular vices. Tarot helped me to see myself more clearly, and I believe it also showed me the God-shaped hole in my life.

I returned to Christianity, specifically the Catholicism of my youth, but I did not abandon tarot. Tarot was one of the things that led me back to God, and it seemed unthinkable to leave it behind. To my mind, tarot and Christianity are a natural pair, even though their marriage might seem strange at first glance. I simply integrated tarot into my prayer practice, a seamless process that involved pulling cards with morning prayer and finding connections between the images and Scripture.

Tarot might be for occultists and fortune tellers and New Age practitioners, but I believe it is also for Christians. Tarot gave me images for my feelings when I didn't yet have the words for them. Slowly and carefully, and almost unconsciously, it led me back to a life of faith. And it still does this, day after day, as I pull cards and pray.

Kevin Sorbo says he hasn’t been able to get work in Hollywood in 12 years because he’s Christian and conservative. He says he pitched some of his movies to Netflix, who didn’t want them, but “if I played a radical Islamic pedophile terrorist I’d get nominated for an Academy Award.”

What, Netflix didn't want God's Not Dead - The Series?

Yeah, Netflix is so weird. They wanted uplifting ideas for TV shows but refused ideas from a guy who made a Christian movie with his wife that starts with the footage of an airplane slamming into the WTC that had nothing to do with the movie, but Sorbos just put it there because they thought it was uplifting.
