  You haven’t even seen what the community is about and yet you are ready to pass judgement on it.

    You were asking me about a community which was hypothetical. I stated what the hypothetical community in this scenario was about before giving my opinion. A “divorced Christians” community could literally be a number of things.

      The divorced Christian is hypothetical, but you applied the judgemental logic to the LGBT one, which pretty much exists.

        I already looked at the community and checked it out. It’s got a pride flag with a blue canton bearing a red cross. I know what the pride flag stands for - pride in being in a homosexual relationship. Practicing homosexuality is forbidden in Christianity, so it’s a contradiction to be proud of doing something un-Christian while being a Christian.

    You’re both kinda silly.

    Divorce is very much in the Bible. In both Old and New testaments.

    Honestly I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone calling themselves a Christian who has actually read the Bible from cover to cover, aside from actual pros (that is actual students of theology).

    I was. I did. Now I’m not. And it’s not a coincidence.

    Christianity is unsuitable with itself, for Christ’s sake. It would be literally impossible to follow the Bible with the amount of contradictions there are.

    That being said all monotheism is hot garbage.

      Name one contradiction and I’ll address it. Not going to do all 400

      I guess you are too eager to preach and are missing the point of my inquiry.

      I am not saying “there is no contradiction in Christianity”, but “who are we to say that a gay person can not be accepting of Christian teachings?”

        No eagerness here. Just very boring facts, which you have to ignore to make your case.

        The Bible literally instructs to stone people wearing two different fabrics at the same time. A leather jacket and jeans (cotton) ? That’s a stoning.

        Just because your society hasn’t moved past beyond having to pretend childish books are real, doesn’t mean everyone here will agree. There are still people here who claim to be Christian, but the Nordics are very secular and you’d never have anyone be upset that something is “against Christianity”.

        The US is almost a theocracy nowadays, which is so ironic, given how it began and what the founding fathers actually argued for.
