Explain this, humankind

Thomson died for our spin

Did they crucify women back then?

[intensely_human@lemm.ee]

I disagree. I believe because I’ve witnessed miracles.

If y'all think Jesus I'd so good you should meet his hermalito lupe.

[lookbehindyounowandthen@lemmy.world]

So have Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, Sikhs, Pagans, and witches.

So that's clearly a bad way to know what's true.

They’re both definitely scfi and I have enjoyed all that I have read of them.

I will say, I haven’t read a lot of them since I was a teenager and I’m old now.

Still though, robots, moon people, mars people, dude being thrown from universe to universe.

It’s pretty clear to me why it’s the dame genre.

Yeah, no shit. They wrote a bunch of books with varying accounts claiming exactly this. All retcon. All written decades after the events. The Bible is bullshit.

[flax_vert@feddit.uk]

All written decades after the events.

Unlike most of history for that time, which was usually written centuries after the events.

Unitarianism is a completely different religion even Islam is closer to Christianity than to Unitarianism

The first book is phenomenal. The others are good, but not necessarily "must read"

[flax_vert@feddit.uk]

I used to be in the same boat- I just thought the rapture was a synonym for the second coming. It's rapture theology that's unbiblical, but not the second coming itself.

[flax_vert@feddit.uk]

I don't believe you, because Christians have a habit of embellishing their stories. Every "former non-believer" I've ever met were really just non-practicing Christians who had been indoctrinated but fell away then later reaffirmed their faith for social reasons.

Somebody likes to make assumptions

I don't believe in your strawman interpretation of Christianity either, don't worry.

[snowclone@lemmy.world]

Well, Jesus also said the worst people are the people to make a big public show of being religious, and that when they get to judgement day he's gonna be like "I never knew ye" because they were terrible and false.

[lookbehindyounowandthen@lemmy.world]

I know. I never really believed you were going to think critically about your religion.

Thanks for the discussion.

[angrystego@lemmy.world]

Also not true. The Unitarian church is a reformed Christian branch, and there are more than one unitarian branches. The fact they seem like heretics to you doesn't mean they're not Chistians.

[flax_vert@feddit.uk]

Christians worship Jesus. Unitarians do not.

[angrystego@lemmy.world]

Unitarians are a Christian branch whether you like it or not. For anyone interested, here's more info: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unitarianism

Jesus: "Love one another."

Everyone else: "We're gonna kill that son of a bitch."
