This means it’s time to go outside and touch grass

In short, I evaluated the arguments, then realised that the arguments for Christianity were far better than the arguments against. The main argument for atheism is the standard of proof, but anyone can present them with all of the proof they’d like and they can still say “not enough”. There were people around in Jesus’ time who still didn’t believe yet saw the miracles and His resurrection

I don’t really get why people think it’s “science or religion”. Although there are some things to consider:

• If there are laws in the universe, it may be proof that there’s a law giver of some kind?

• The beginning of the universe was a recent discovery in science, previous non Christian belief was that the universe had always existed.

• Genesis 1 doesn’t have to be taken literally.

I don’t. My religious beliefs are something I came to myself. There is lots of evidence for a very early church, and the core story around Jesus hasn’t changed much, unlike other legends that evolve through history. The New Testament is pretty reliable as a historical document and many times atheist critics have been wrong, and their arguments are usually very easy to debunk.

I wouldn’t make it that high. A large amount of Christians I know of are converts.

2024 years since what?

Had an american who loved our robin redbreasts

will we still have the tech to read it?

Probably, if VLC is still around.

Telnet still exists and you can still access a telnet server running on 40 year old hardware

It’s far more than that.

What did they tell you that is factually false?

The post says a lie, not a truth lol

Spoiler alert: it probably wasn’t

First news story on Lemmy

Elaborate?

They all generally affirm the same things though, it’s just the Bible doesn’t say exactly how to practice Christianity, so add two thousand years and weird theological technicalities like real presence (and how much real is the presence, it’s a spectrum), church structure and organisation, authority, etc, then you have a bunch of different denominations. Most of them though do actually respect each other in an ecumenical fashion. The “Catholics aren’t Christian” sect would be a fringe minority, the same type who would believe the world is 8,000 years old and that the KJV is the only proper English translation.

Same with Jehovah’s Witnesses not agreeing with or affirming the Nicene creed. Generally any sect that denies the Nicene creed is seen as non Christian

That type of specification would probably never happen.

As a Protestant Christian, it doesn’t make any sense. I think it is just idiotic evangelical puritans being idiotic evangelical puritans.

However it is worth mentioning Catholics and Orthodox people don’t allow each other or Protestants to take communion. (Catholics might allow Orthodox but maybe orthodoxy forbids their own members, I don’t know that one)

Not related to my religious beliefs. If I was a non Christian, I’d probably be more militantly pro life if anything as there wouldn’t be any concept of heaven

When did I do that?
