The whole trinitarian debate is like a Lemmy comment chain of people completely talking past each other.
Oh, so you think I'm some kind of POLYTHEIST just because YOU don't believe in OUR LORD AND SAVIOR, THE SON OF GOD!?
Idk the Collyridians had a point. The Melchisedechians were on some wild shit. But in general trinitarian heresies are arguing over the weeds
Yea 1=3
I'm atheist, but I grew up as a fundie Southern Baptist, so these topics are merely a distraction from the pain and suffering of living in this shithole country, but…
Online I am Daychilde. IRL I am Isaac Eiland-Hall. On reddit, my last account was OddDonut[numbers I don't remember]. Those were three expressions of myself that in some ways were me, but in other ways sparked behaviour in only certain contexts.
While I'm a contrarian by nature, so if you had said "1=1" I might be arguing about how the aspects are different, you said "1=3", so I find myself replying with ways that those aspects are also still the same being. hehe
Sure but none of those personas is ignorant of what another knows.
Not going to church growing up and then attending a Catholic wedding or funeral is so WEIRD.
"Up, down, up, down, up, down"
- All I remember from the only Catholic funeral I went to
"May the Force be with you."
"And also with you."
I grew up protestant, but I learned that to trigger Catholics and ex-Catholics. :D
Excuse me.
It's "And with your spirit."
Yeah I never expected church to be leg day. I'm just glad they've got coffee after
Orthodox christian funerals are p chill, you get to watch a guy sing in a silly voice while smoking up the room. If it's an open casket one it's very moving too
uhhh, I'd prefer the casket not be moving if it's all the same to you…
You can go to CVS and talk to your pharmacist about getting something to stop the coffin.
I think after what we all have just been through we all have our own personal preferences what work best with our own idiosyncrasies. At least I'd be surprised if anyone has gone the last six years without so much as a sniffle.
I grew up a fundie Southern Baptist but was athiest by around 2000. In 2009 I did an internship with a group that brought up a bunch of Puertoriqueños, who were every one of them truly delightful folks. But I drove across the country in my truck so I'd have transportation, whereas they all flew up from the island, so when one of them wanted to go to church, I ended up driving her, and she wanted me to come hang out in the service, soooooo.... sure. How bad could it be?
.........It took all I could muster not to leave in the middle. Brought back too many memories. I was glad she didn't want to go back, because I would have gladly dropped her off, but no way I could handle going in and doing it again. heh
Not to mention that your community's symbol is the device used to torture the human incarnation of that god to death.
Plus, your cultists all revere images or sculptures of that torture in progress.
Yup. I like to say that I worship the "hanging god".
It's the only god that suffers with his people. (Which, I believe is a big part of his popularity.)
Point of order, it's not a demigod we consume, it's an elder god and ours tastes good
Protestants must be doing it wrong, our's always tasted bland
y'all should have at least chosen an anteater or something cool. humans have only evolved once and jesus christ on into a cracker that's what they decide to eat?
Well, technically consuming the flesh of a god isn't evil if the god specifically orders you to do it in ritual and reverence to them. The moral rules of gods is different.
It's only weird if you are eating the flesh of a god without their consent.
I guess you can argue consent makes it not evil, but nah it's definitely still weird. Consent might even make it weirder, tbh.
Not weird. Lots of gods get eaten. Not really that unusual.
And we're not even talking Bilquis!
Let’s not forget catholic calisthenics. Sit, stand, kneel, stand, sit….
I found that frustrating and annoying as a kid. Like, I just finally got comfy on this hard, wooden pew, and now I gotta move? Again??
As an atheist I reserve the right to call any and all religions primitive and evil.
