Christianity in Decline, U.S Becoming Less Religious

[GodsEmbryo]

A lot of religious people have nobody to blame but themselves for this. They set a poor example with their conduct, and then wonder why people don't want to be like them. Maybe if more of them were much more loving and compassionate to fellow people as their religion actually dictates instead of hateful, manipulative, and controlling others would want to emulate them more and hold them in better esteem. When so many religious people treat others like dirt and that is what their religion gets associated with is it any wonder people would turn away from them?

The thing is that what religion actually dictates IS the hate, manipulation and control through fear. It's about a god that basically says "love and worship me, or else!". One moment scripture says "if someone slaps your cheek, offer the other cheek", but next moment it's "I will strike down every firstborn of Egypt, I AM THE LORD!". But every time people will come up with an argument or excuse: but that's the old testament, but it's a metaphore, but you need to read it like this, but it's out of context... and shut their eyes and ears: "My religion preaches peace and love!" No it's not. If religion would be about peace and love, religious extremists like ISIS would be the most loving people on earth.

I don't know if that's fair to religious people either. Most religions actually do seem peaceful. Unfortunately, people aren't peaceful. Greed and hate can be powerful forces with people. Assuming one is actually religious they recognize that God in the past and now gets to make decisions only he can make because he's God, he has wisdom and knowledge that nobody else can ever have, and just because at one point in one circumstance he directly made a judgement about a person or group doesn't give anybody else the right to do things like that. That goes even more so when they're strait up told to love and have compassion for others. I think any actual religious person understands that baring somebody else hurting other people it's not their job to deal with them, and the people they don't like don't have to answer to them, even if they think what those people do is sinful. Otherwise they are just trying to usurp the responsibility of a higher power that doesn't belong to them.

Now if one's contention is that there are a lot more people that selfishly use the excuse of being religious for their own gain than are actually religious people willing to sacrifice for others out of love then sadly yes I would have to agree with that.

Christians can't agree among the various and sundry denominations of their own fairy tales, that's why they don't bother me in the least. The best way to keep Christians busy and occupied so they're not fucking with you is to get them all together and let them turn on each other. hahaha Put a Pentecostal and a Methodist in a room together and there will not be harmony, but at least those two will tolerate each other, you can't put an American Baptist Association (ABA) Baptist in the same room with a Southern Baptist (SBC), because ABA motherfuckers don't fellowship with anyone outside their denomination. I give them credit for not being particularly violent, but my oh my, how the Caste system is still in effect in the American religious community.

for everyone one of those there are 500 of these

I guess this would be about the same as you jumping my shit over "brown skinned" people being discriminated against.

Perhaps we should consult the SHAH of some country that has "brown skinned people.

It's time now for the "Nones" to organize themselves and use their power similar to how the evangelicals were able to do

In fact with the decline of Christianity we are living in the brightest era ever, aren't we? Now we just miss the advent of the magical Islamic golden era and then the Eden will be restored: no feminists, no gays, no pork, no porn, no alcohol, no technology, no communists, zero miles food and most of all zero bullshit by the usual nihilists to be read on the net. I can't wait.

You're a special kind of idiot, aren't you? The article si about less ans less americans being christians and more ans more or them being atheist notre more and more being muslims.
Are you really thinking muslims are on the rise in the US?

Did someone REALLY say that most religious people seem more peaceful? REALLY?????????? Have you seen video from islamic countries? You can't get much more religious than they are! How about the westboro baptist church? how about all those right wing end of the world fanatics stocking up on food and preparing to go to war against the government? Hell, how about the entire faux news channel full of religious people or our congress for that matter?

And BC you can do all the testing you like but I know how to fucking spell Shah. I even watch the show Shah's of Beverly Hills. Whenever I use this stupid android tablet it has auto-fill that I hate. I emailed my mom yesterday and I meant to type that I bought a new Bosch dishwasher but she got "I brought the bath dishwater"

I saw on Bill Maher last night that the Pew Poll is out and shows that the US dropped from 78% to 70% Christian in the last 7 years and that 28% are Evangelical as largest group and the second largest group 25% are "nones" (people hwo believe none of it = atheists and agnostics)
Think where we'll be the next time its published in 7 years from now! There will be more "nones" than evangelicals! Good luck with your outdated backward-assed jesus (pronounced Hay-soos) freak old white people party winning any substantial elections in the very near future. Now we just need to get some actual progressives in power and this country will be much much better.

Now i know that you are a dickhead. Only someone with such a small head and consequentially with such a small brain in fact could not have enough neurons to understand that in a thread we don't just comment over the OP post, but also over the overall thread. And yes, keep saying that religions are shit, while defending everything related to Islam: it's funny to see you keeping making a fool of yourself.

When we fuck up, we're ignorant backwoods, bible thumping right tards, but when she fucks up...it's spell check.

But now I see the real problem is, she watches Bill Maher. So in reality, she's just the same as you and me, except her heart bleeds a little more, for the filth that has her bullshitted into believing they're down and out.

I have no problem helping those that need it, and I'm sure you don't either, problem is, most don't want to help themselves, and those are the ones that need to be cut off. Hell, everyone needs a hand once in awhile....to bad the bad ones have fooled her into thinking they belong in the same group as the good ones.

I guess we really are racist pigs blue. Shame on us.

I wonder how many of those restaurants that she features does she have to pay for the meals. Looks like she is getting her fair share of freebies and handouts because quite honestly I don't see a restaurant being featured on a youtube channel by a former porn star receiving the kind of return in investment or patronage that would rival a Ruth's Chris on Mothers Day.

I wonder if they even know here past, or present porn affiliation. I wonder how fast Westboro would fly down to Fla., if they knew. The good thing is, every post shows more, and more of the hypocrisy that fills her hateful soul....but we're still the stupid assholes. Maybe we should form a club.

The he man Mariah haters club...no girls allowed...cootie free zone.

we'll get an old beat up horse, and name it algebra!

 

[Jack Davenport]

I don't hate Mariah, or anyone here for that matter. I just find her same old rants day after day tiresome. In fact, I don't think any poster other than her could get away with the taunting that she does, especially if it were a conservative.

There is obviously motivation from her life experiences that make her seem hateful at times. I guess venting here is therapeutic for her. It's not like she could say these things in a public setting.

 

[Deepcover]

You guys are only upset cause you wish she was more of a conservative. If she was a conservative you guys would have no problem getting along with her but you guys can't stand that she is for the left. Well have no fear because you got Sabrina Deep agreeing with most of your political views...

If you think Sabrina is as in your face as Mariah, then you are truly delusional.
