I think they have weekly meetings in a big building, but when I see them online all they talk about is trans and abortions.

I think a lot of the online conversation is just the Kremlin stoking culture wars.

Bob from Ohio is actually Yuri from St. Petersburg... or just KremlinGPT.

Imagine an all powerful being that requires constant praise.

This isn't really an open ended question. This is a forum not simply a straw poll.

[–] awwwyissss@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No. The world is much more enjoyable and generally better without those irrational and dangerous beliefs in my mind.

[–] VanHalbgott@lemmus.org 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I understand you conviction…all is good.

[–] awwwyissss@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Same, I have nothing but good wishes for you, and I understand that most Christians do actually believe they're making the world a better place.

I hope some day you can open your mind and inspect your beliefs with unbiased reason, I don't think you'll regret it.

I was "Christian", at least nominally. Didn't quite believe at 8 and not at all by 10, haven't seen any reason to go back to religion since then. Rather the opposite...

Forgot to switch to the sock puppet account OP?

[–] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

You might say I might, loosely speaking. Definitely not one of the "big" groups though, though Jesus is a large part of my life template.

Ever hear of the Mune Shinri?
