I mean we have science now so a mysterious father figure in the sky seems unnecessary. Plus a lot of single mothers mean a patriarchal g-d is actually somewhat insulting. F--king Abrahamic religion

I don't have a problem with someone believing something different than what I believe. I don't get what the big deal is. I mean you seem so angry.
@Spoiledbrat I love how you respond to these posts, just point blank, I don't see the big deal/or issue and with you seem angry. I understand the expression somewhere, but my ultimate answer is, that's the way of the world and you aren't changing it. Not so far apart.

@Spoiledbrat my oppinion is religion has outlived its benefit to humanity i know christians assigned my gender at birth in the name of ignorance prolly inspired by christian teachings. Believe whatever u want, but i specifically don't thinkk institutionalized religion lets ppl believe what they want. Therefore given the exposure to information everyone has in todays world religion is no longer useful in a structural sense. Used for perspective maybe

@exchrist As a Christian Pastor I have never told anyone what they "MUST" believe. I do preach the Gospel message but I leave the rest up to God and the hearer. Way above my paygrade. However the fact remains that I became a Christian in part because I began to question what I had been told I MUST believe in science. I couldn't believe the old yarns as spun by Darwin etc. They didn't even make sense and couldn't give sufficient causation. You on the other hand think that your religion, Scientism, is the true faith that one must follow. You are mistaken. BTW why are you so bitter about those who don't believe/follow your religion?

@hippyjoe1955 you are correct i think its humanity's fault ultimately but im programmed to do this because of what they did to me. Trying to find who is to blame then fix the reason it happened. at the moment its rich old politicians that are the impediment to advancing the status of humanity. Regardless, father my grudge is againt the 5 christian men that did this to me there was really only the one of them but still. Based on christian sacrements and therefore it has to go. Or they could redeem themselves and renounce circumcision at birth then id make effort to let it go. I am not a follower of sciencism. I wrote my own. The Oath of human citizenship. The fastest way to peace and unity.

@hippyjoe1955 i believe they are both views of reality science does come off as u must believe but it is more fluid than religion in terms of adapting to observation and facts\data. Similar all facts and religious insistences must be questions my qualm is primarily with catholicism.

@exchrist So about that Darwin dogma.....

@hippyjoe1955 assigned my gender 27 times at birth. It kept growing back and i will never forget

@exchrist BTW Catholicism is not particularly Christian. It is a belief system unto itself

@hippyjoe1955 it can be explained as the development of gods original creation the earth. Scientific experiments need to be repeated maybe we are wrong. Humans dony know everything and I wasn't there so. . .
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@exchrist So you are so foolish as to believe you get to pick your gender? That is your problem not Christians.
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@exchrist No evidence supports your theory. Nice try though. The genesis account of scientism isn't even possible.

@hippyjoe1955 i was born with both so no i know they changed it the vagina is still there but inaccesible. And my dna matches king david so. . . not cool they can fix this though theres always the another chance. Plus christianity has improved alot since the version that those Christians had.
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@exchrist And you expect me to believe this why again? Your DNA matches David? Sorry but you just stopped being believable.

@exchrist Jesus said "Call no one on earth Father" He set the example by calling Mary 'Woman' instead of Mom or Mother.

@hippyjoe1955 the catholics tend to pic and choose
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@exchrist The Catholic church is Christian in name only. It is not in any respect actually Christian. Yes there are wonderful Christians in the Church but the catholic Church denies almost the entire Gospel message.

@hippyjoe1955 yes i agree and thats why those christians thought they were right in doing the unholy. Still they all need to renounce circumcision at birth didn't christ call for 7 days after at a christening?.
