      Pretty sure that documentary would be the more consistent and factually based religious piece of media out there.

      I was raised Catholic, actually. Went to bible camp every summer, sang in the choir. The book is fantasy fiction and the preacher’s livelihood depends on convincing people that all good things come from god and all bad things come from humanity.

            Jesus Christ literally said he is the Son of Man and assigned Pope Peter as the “rock” of his church

              Jesus Christ

              Again, there is no such thing as a christ, magic isn’t real.

              literally said he is the Son of Man

              Isn’t everyone?

              and assigned Pope Peter as the “rock” of his church

              And what does that mean? One of these four interpretations? https://www.gotquestions.org/upon-this-rock.html

              Or something else entirely? Let’s ask Jesus. Oh right… he died.

                1. There is, stop strawmanning it to “magic”

                2. The Son of Man as in the Messiah. Matthew 26:64 Jesus said to him: “You have said it. Yet truly I say to you, hereafter you shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of the power of God, and coming on the clouds of heaven.”

                3. Jesus told him to “feed my sheep”.

                  There is, stop strawmanning it to “magic”

                  Can god make something out of nothing? That is magic. Can god reverse death? That is magic.

                  What’s up with the blood sacrifices and rituals? Totally-not-magic?

                  The Son of Man as in the Messiah. Matthew 26:64 Jesus said to him: “You have said it. Yet truly I say to you, hereafter you shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of the power of God, and coming on the clouds of heaven.”

                  Messiah meaning savior? To save us from the punishments god created for us?

                  Jesus told him to “feed my sheep”.

                  Jesus was kind of a dick like that, yeah. If we believe the gospels.

        Please read the Bible further.

        May I have some of the verses you read that made you think that?

        and no it does not, not at all

        Most religious orders (the way that most people become priests or brothers) do not have you earn your own money, you live in formation houses or active communities with priests and brothers

          That’s the point of the garden of Eden story. God made everything and everyone, but we broke his impossible rules and now he punishes us forever, to the point that infants are born with sin.

          It’s a death cult.

            translations depend on literalness and the way its said

            for example

            the difference between

            “I ate a bunch of fruit today”

            and

            “A bunch of fruit was consumed by me today”

              Yeah but then you say a bunch of racist authoritarian shit and try to shrug it off as sarcasm when the crowd turns against you. You’re not allowed to decide you were joking after the fact.

                  I said if you stand against marking things with /s then you’re promoting the ability say horrible shit without consequences. No matter how outlandish, how stupid, how absurd you think a statement is: that is somebody’s real opinion.
