Stupid things religious people say

[KerimF]

...?  John is very much a bigger figure in christian circles, and christians do think that there's no purpose to judaism anymore?

Sorry for not being clear

I meant that all formal Christians around the world (in billions) have to believe that the teachings of Judaism are still valid and sometimes they have to be seen as being more important than Jesus' sayings. This is a fact that no one can deny. 
I recall how my uncle became a Catholic priest after he studied for about 6 years the Old Testament, about 3 months Jesus's life/sayings and about 9 months the remaining parts of the Gospel.

By the way, there are other sayings of Jesus on the today's Gospel which could be printed anywhere while they are not allowed to be preached openly in any country.

The importance of the OT in Christian faiths can vary a lot by denomination. For example, the Churches of Christ regard the NT as their sole source of doctrine, regarding the OT as accurate and inspired but essentially overriden by tne NT.

Pure entertainment.  The spectacle of absurd shit declared with the purported authority of religious certainty.

Provided thats it I can join in because I find it all nonsense and frankly embarassment.  This is NOT Christianity.  Further, none of this stands as a proof of no God lol.

I don't think it's the intent of this thread to try to prove there's no God. It's more like 'kids say the darndest things', a laugh or head shake or eye roll at people who are being unintentionally absurd. I consider there to be an implied 'not all Christians', just like not every utterance of a young child is absurd, funny, or nonsensical. Kids ARE a gold mine for that kind of thing, though.

It's a deliciously conflicted ideology compulsion, sure. Expressed in life by continuing to hate on teh gays, or hoors, or people who wear the wrong cut of cloth.

There are billions upon billions of unoccupied street corners in the us. I'm sure you could find one to openly preach whatever gospel our hearts desire. You know what I always thought would be fun? Get a soapbox and a bunch of project boards - end of days shit. Sit up on a box in this little town near me, pop13k, every saturday day night at the county seat - and rail about the evils of people not returning shopping carts to the corrals in parking lots. How the dents in our cars are representative of the dents in our souls. Living in a world where people will and do routinely fail at the most basic and critical societal task. Acting in a way that costs nothing, while promoting social order. If we won't even put the carts away, we won't put the doomsday weapons away.

Thank you for the information.
I wonder where the Churches (plural?!) of Christ are located.
I also wonder how someone can find other Churches around the world whose believers realized, at last, that Jesus' teachings override the ones of the OT.

Who here is trying to "prove no god"?

The Christian Post: Yoga opens ‘demonic doors' to ‘evil spirits,' warns ex-psychic who became Christian

While some think of yoga as a form of exercise or a way to clear the mind, others view it as a “demonic door” that opens its practitioners to and oppression.

“Yoga is a Hindu spiritual practice and the word ‘yoga’ is rooted in Sanskrit. It means ‘to yoke to’ or ‘to unite with.’ And what they’re doing is … they have deliberate postures that are paying tribute, honor and worship to their false gods,” she explained.

According to Nizza, Hinduism has “over 330 million false gods, which are demons, and they’re honoring them with these postures. That’s what yoga is, and it is not just stretching and breathing.”

Nizza listed many ways that demons can harm a person as a result of them practicing yoga.

“Anxiety, confusion, planting seeds of doubt, sickness sometimes even; they can actually affect your health. Again, as the Christian, spiritual confusion, spiritual vulnerability, not wanting to go to church or open your Bible, anything that will be leading you away from God, that’s what the battle is.”

Anything not approved by the powerful rich men in charge of any Christian Church or Denomination has to be seen by their followers (called believers) as being of demons.
This is normal... right?
Similarly, in Politics, a story not approved by the powerful rich World's Elite should be seen by their followers (called citizens) as being of a conspiracy theory.

This should be predicted as natural facts, otherwise, I would be really surprised that powerful rich groups, religious or political, don't mind not to be obeyed by their followers (the gentle modern word of the obedient faithful slaves  ).
