I'm a HUGE fan of malicious compliance. When people do stupid shit like, for example, being religious—if you just make them AC TUALLY live with their maleficence, then they give up faster than any other method of confrontation. If women really had to kill a dove every time they menstruated, then it would lose a bit of popularity. LMFAO, just one of an ENDLESS (well, I guess it actually is finite) number of examples.
Edit: We'd probably run out of doves too. ><
Most Christians believe in the new law, which abolished sacrifice like that, so it's not the trump card you think it is.
I'm not saying you shouldn't call out religious inconsistencies, just make sure you know what you're talking about, first.
Use turning the other cheek. That's a basic tenet of Jesus, which highlights the hypocrisy of gun-toting Republican "Christians."
Why would an infallible god need to revise its laws?
Serious answer from a non fundamentalist Christian: Because the old testament laws were intended for a specific society, to pave the way for Jesus. They were also a mix of religious rules and secular laws. They weren't (all) intended to be universal moral laws that apply to all of humanity.
No-no... Jesus didn't change the laws... He completed them! The rules are all still valid, they just don't apply, except the ones that are convenient, or affect those people...
Because an infallible God is trying to herd very fallible people, which is way harder than trying to give a group of angry cats a bath.
He is also working through fallible people, which is why a personal relationship with Him is so important. That is essentially what Christ taught.
Just saying what their scriptures teach. You don't have to believe it, but it is much more consistent than people claiming to be Christian would make it seem.
It was just a quick low effort example, but yes, you are correct. Take my upvote! LOL
One can always leaf through and pick any of the many examples of awful highlighted on the site: https://www.evilbible.com/
I'd also say, though, that most Christians will use any law, new or old, to support their hatred and evil. If they're looking to support their bigotry or hatred, then any version of the bible is fair game. It's only abolished when it's inconvenient for them.
Sadly, I've had the misfortune of living in multiple areas with mega-churches. ><
But again, that's not because they are Christians. Christianity for them is, at best, a veneer. A smokescreen. They are filled with fear and hate, and use whatever they can to justify it. They could be any religion or none at all, and would still act the same way.
Hardly. Hate is a human trait, not a Christian one or any other religion.
My parents raised me in the church and then were surprised when I objected to all of the republicanisms. They decided that "the church was gay."
Them : Be Christ like
Also them: no not like that
Exactly. They are no different than Moses' people, trying to form God into an image they can live with. They don't actually understand their own doctrine.
That's because they hate gays and are looking for justification, not because they believe in Christ and are seeking to become like him. Don't mistake using religion as an excuse for actual religion. If it weren't for the Bible, they'd cite something else.
Some people who claim to be Christian, do. But hate is hardly limited to Christianity. It's not a Scotsman fallacy if a core tenet of the group is being blatantly ignored. It's only a Scotsman fallacy if the point has nothing to do with being in the group.
