As I've noted repeatedly, all three Abrahamic religions have extremists in them who are actively trying to rush in their respective messiahs at this time.
"The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is a religious conflict - opinion"
"As we contemplate what will happen 'on the day after' it is important to examine the religious aspects of the alliances that have assisted Hamas before and since October 7."
#Israel subjects its soldiers to absurd disciplinary actions based on religious notions related to work on the #sabbath. They're legislating #Judaism the same way #ChristianNationalists are attempting to impose #Christianity on the whole of the nation. This isn't freedom, it's #theocracy. It's hard to support Israel when they're behaving reprehensibly at every turn.
I'm an infertile atheist. In a fit of desperation while doing IVF, I went into a church and promised that if I could have children, I'd have them baptized. I had twins and returned to fulfill my promise because of superstition. I was then told that because they were IVF babies, they had no souls and couldn't be baptized. So, I went back to my original FUCK RELIGION stance. 🙄
Commander #MikeJohnson is treating the #HouseOfRepresentatives like his own private #church. He calls meetings to address legitimate government business, and spends 2/3rds of the time preaching from his #Bible, and butchering history to craft Biblical rationalizations for his predetermined agenda. The People's House is not a goddamned church, or a venue for #Christofascist pigs to inject #Christianity into our secular government.
The reason your church and way of life are dying is that you’ve managed to shrink your God down to a pitiful human size. If you had an omnipotent God, you wouldn’t be so fearful of change. If you had a God who protected His flock, you wouldn’t need so many guns. If you believed we are all loved as we are, you wouldn’t be so frightened of others. If you truly understood that you had been forgiven much, you would be much more forgiving.
Finally had to tell a formerly close friend who's now a #Trump "Christian" DudeBro that I'm no longer interested in hearing his propaganda and that he has absolutely destroyed any credibility he once had as a person who claimed to follow #Jesus.
As his own Bible has said, "No one can follow two masters," and he has traded Jesus for Trump.
Our friendship will never be the same. Sadz. 🤷🏼♂️
If you have #Christian friends or family who are convinced that the Bible commands #Christians to stand with #Israel even when they are committing #IsraelWarCrimes then you should send them this. Of course they will probably reject it if their favorite TV preacher is saying something different, but at least you can try.
Assam: Hindu Group Threatens Christian Schools to Remove Religious Symbols or ‘Face Dire Outcome’
The ultimatum issued by one Kutumba Surakshya Parishad includes removal of idols and photographs of Jesus and Mary as well as churches located on school complexes.
In the village of Lochawe, Argyle, you'll find one of the finest churches in the whole of Scotland - St Conan's Kirk.
Architecturally fascinating, stunningly beautiful.
