Keeps building homes for poorOne major aspect of Jesus' teachings was humility: keep your prayers to yourself; don't show off; sacrifice your own comfort to make others comfortable. Practitioners of the prosperity gospel are fundamentally against this.
Of all US presidents, Jimmy Carter displayed that aspect of Christianity the most, and he is considered the worst of them by Americans who are most likely to identify as Christian.
So atheists only hone in on Christians because thats the one religion they dislike? HmmI can assure you that Christians (and followers of other religions, for that matter) being hypocritical is not the leading cause of atheism. You guys are adults that never completely grew out of the make believe stage of childhood. Don't overestimate your importance to others.
Has more to do with how the other 2 major religions operate and that Christianity is most dominant in the Americas and most of Europe.So atheists only hone in on Christians because thats the one religion they dislike? Hmm
I would have thought it’s because of the way Christians act towards non believers.
it makes sense now
So atheists only hone in on Christians
My issue is not even that American Christians don't practice quietly; it's that they want to turn the country into a Christian theocracy.
And for the record, I’m an equal opportunity anti-theist. In America, Muslims and Jews tend to practice quietly. Christians don’t. That’s why you feel as though we’re honing in on you.
Good people must not exist then... People make decisions considering potential consequences. We all have our own moral compasses and decide when and when not to abide by it.
I hear you. And I think you are agreeing with my premise. We exist in a world full of laws that are designed to influence behavior. Of the people that dont speed, theres a good portion who dont want the ticket that comes with it and that holds them back. Or the possiblity of an accident keeps them in check. Of the people that dont cheat but think about it, theres some who dont want the damage that may come with being exposed and that holds them back. Legally and morally (which varies), there are potential outcomes that we as humans take into account when making some decisions. It basically knowing the risk. Im gonna do x, y may happen, so with that in mind im either gonna do it anyway or chill. We make decisions all day and not everyone follows this model. But there are times that we do make decisions factoring in potential outcomes. Its a natural thing, religion has nothing to do with it. (Unless one suffers from Sygiophobia).i say this as someone who is Roman Catholic and had to do christian religious classes pretty much every level of school until I went stateside for high school
im not thinking of anything religious or the potential consequences if I do something kind or decent or thoughtful or if I empathize with someone else’s situation
I think using fear based tactics and especially the people it’s coming from, ends up turning a lot of people away from mass religion
I’d hope that my parents raised me right and instilled some values and decency where the consequences ain’t dictating my actions.. sure it might keep me from doing dumb shh.. but I’m not living my life on the regular needing to consider the consequences of doing shh.. maybe I’m moving different

That tweet is taking a jab at traditional hell fear mongering (which I hate and believe is in error), but the argument itself doesnt hold up when mirrored with any other consequntial reality.
Most modern physicists, scientists, and mathematicians somewhat agree of “simulation theory.”
The people that believe there is no creator, are the least original thought, yet they think they are super deep. They just wanna be cool tbh. And they are extremely lost.
Second group of people:
Most modern physicists, scientists, and mathematicians somewhat agree of “simulation theory.” These people are arrogant to the point of attributing everything to being designed and then do a full stop there. Somehow ignoring there must be a designer.
Diseased minds.
