All religions are autocratic in nature.
One of the least factual posts on this entire forum. Think a little!
Nope. This is not a democracy or a political subject where you decide on representatives that will decide things. Christianity does not even work like that. It's not remotely similar to Sharia Law, specially in the modern era.

Nope. Failed again. If you had knew the basics of history you would have know that many traditional christian traditions were born from Jewish traditions and the divergence started when Christianity started to try and be his own thing. Others were decided because of actions of people instead of representatives (like devotion to Saints). So no. The argument that all traditional Christian values were from Conclaves or Pope is moronic.

If you actually looked at it you would notice that it doesn't. If the trans act as a normal human being he would not go against anything. If he tries to corrupt people he will be kicked out. I even mentioned that.

Again, a mention by the Pope of a subject does not make it like Sharia law. Think a little.
If you believe this decision has no value then why are you even upset? Nothing will change for you, no?

For someone spout so much nonsense, you should try to follow your own advice.

Again, try to read the posts properly. I explained my point of view earlier and I was trying to explain why someone could be upset.
This does not mean that I was upset. Some people are capable of talking about things without emotional attachment.

False. Some retards that don't read properly may think that the Pope comment may mean that abominations are free to act like animals and start the cycle of abuse. I personally do my best to avoid those types but this can slightly make my life harder so it's not appreciated.

Sorry, what does this part mean? I don't understand.

You know very little about this topic and cherry pick what you want to see and what suits your agenda.

There's a specific type of activist that tries to use real issues to gather sympathy for some really abusive and awful things. I prefer to call those type of ''things'' abominations because they can't be considered human. A basic example is creating sex shows to children for their fetishes using tolerance as a excuse.
The rest is very simple and even you should understand.

Religion? I agree that I know very little but at least I passed 4th grade and don't expect democracy in medieval times.
But, please, tell me my agenda. I didn't even knew I had one.
 

Still remember the fake report about beheaded babies? When the journalist from 24 iNews said she saw it firsthand but later backtracked saying she was told by some IDF soldiers? This video aged incredibly well

It's heart wrenching to know that the Israel military is built upon lies and genocide, and still the first thing the westerns said is "Do you condemn Hamas?" Well no shit, Hamas was founded decades after the illegal occupation began.

This is what true zionism is, simply supporting for a jewish state to exist is not zionism. They are the one that invented the movement, and they did it by lies and genocide. If you're pro zionists, you're a fucking piece of shit low-life

As soon as they get exposed, the video is now private

Considering that the modern terrorist organisation IDF is a continuation of previous self proclaimed terrorist organisations such as Irgum and the Stern Gang it is no surprise the tactics they are prepared to use.

I'm glad this conflict brought the plight of the Palestinians to the forefront of the media. At least now nobody can plead ignorance on it anymore
 
My major point @Monkey D Theories was that in the modern day, people have been pushing to make the Christian Church more "inclusive" of all people, regardless of it's compatibility with the scripture. I was speaking as a Westerner who has seen local churches start plastering rainbow flags on their bulletins to appease individuals who have shown them nothing but hate for their own way of life.

I think progress will always happen, but it should never happen at the cost of your own values. Many people rally against Christianity for having a lot of bigots amongst their ranks, but ignore the fact that Islam, Judaism and even Sikhism and Hinduism have their own bigots.

The difference is, whilst people in the West claim that churches -must- allow gay marriage and other things that the bible disagrees with (and lobbies heavily for these changes), you don't see them demanding that Mosques allow it. The reason is because they think only Christianity WILL bend the knee.

I think people demonise Christianity too much but in the same breath say we must respect other cultures that have similar values. It's... bizarre, and unfortunately, weak and ineffectual Popes like the current one think that appeasing these people will be useful. It won't. It's like appeasing feminists regarding game design, all it has done is alienate some people from the medium from what I've seen.

More and more layers are being added/uncovered now in this Israel vs Palestine conflict other than just Hamas terrorists raiding a music festival and kidnapping/lopping people.

It's getting tougher to pick a proper side now here because the Israeli army performed retaliatory acts in respose to the initial incident and more...and then this happened last week?

Also, this incident happened just yesterday.

It's war at this point. I have started to question if we can even call Hamas "terrorists" at this point. They're the governing body of Palestine. They're soldiers. And soldiers attacking another nation is war. This is just another war between two sides who believe themselves Righteous.

Because adherents of those religions are minorities in the west, i.e. need to be protected because they are just as oppressed

Thats not mutually exclusive with terrorism

That’s because western countries are majority Christian.

In America, there is a sizeable and highly vocal minority that is actively fighting to implement a Christian nationalist agenda.
 
Why not just answer?
Ill let the zionists leader themselves answer this

Read this a few years ago, went to check because i kinda forgot. Fortunately i found it:

"I don't understand your optimism.," Ben-Gurion declared. "Why should the Arabs make peace? If I was an Arab leader I would never make terms with Israel. That is natural: we have taken their country. Sure, God promised it to us, but what does that matter to them? Our God is not theirs. We come from Israel, it's true, but two thousand years ago, and what is that to them? There has been anti-Semitism the Nazis, Hitler, Auschwitz, but was that their fault? They only see one thing: we have come here and stolen their country. Why should they accept that? They may perhaps forget in one or two generations' time, but for the moment there is no chance. So it's simple: we have to stay strong and maintain a powerful army. Our whole policy is there. Otherwise the Arabs will wipes us out". A conversation between two leading zionists leader in his own book "The Jewish Paradox", pg 99
 
The concept of 'picking a side' feels like we're all spectators of a sport. We're not. We are not the crowd of a football match. We should not be screaming: "Woo, go Israel/Palestine." Instead of all this allegiance bullshit we should admonish both. Both believe themselves the hero of the story. One wants to rid all of Israel of Jews. One wants to rid all of Gaza of Muslims. This is what it boils down to. Picking a side is just choosing one genocide-seeker over another.

The only solution that doesn't cause the world to have to take on the burden is the two-state solution - which will not happen - because both believe they should have ultimate authority over the holy land.

So what do we do? We can't do shit but admonish both. At this point if peace CANNOT be attained, I almost wish for mutual destruction -- but that's cynicism creeping in.

- Oppression politics is retarded.

- I don't think so either.

- It's not, but at the same time, it's war between soldiers at this point.

Yeah, sure, but all it does is weaken the Christian values of these countries making it easier for other religions to establish a foothold.
 
No it doesn’t. Asking Christians to not be homophobic or transphobic doesn’t “weaken” Christianity.
Weakening the moral values of Christianity does weaken Christianity. It forces it to change. Jesus did not change when he helped misers and prostitutes. They changed. Not him.

Christianity is a value system as much as a religion. If your values can be bent to social pressure then it highlights an intrinsic weakness. Christianity, regardless of my opinions on the matter (which may surprise you), should not have to change to adapt to the modern world. It will become something it's not if it does so.
