I’ve never understood how people can be both religious and against science. For me, my faith is the biggest reason that I want to learn more about the world, because understanding someone’s creation is a great way to learn about the creator.

Not all laws. There are plenty of laws that are a good thing, even in a bad regime. Laws like vehicle wof standards, or anti perjury laws seem universally good.

No that’s an organ. You’re thinking of the big pipe instrument that old churches use
- Comment on If you consider yourself a Christian and act in self-defence, you don’t truly believe 2 weeks ago:
A. Then why is it still in the Bible? The old testament didn’t cease to be scripture when Jesus died. If it did, why did Jesus explain it to his disciples after his resurrection (the road to Emmaus, Luke 24), and why do a lot of the letters in the new testament reference bits of the old testament?
B. “Do not think I have come to abolish the law or prophets, I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them” (Matthew 5:17). Jesus makes sure that the law and prophets (aka old testament) are still there, still honored, and still seen as God’s word. What he did on the cross means we have another way to seek salvation in grace.

Ecclesiastes 3:4 - “there is a time to kill and a time to heal”
Don’t only look at one part of the Bible. As important as the gospels are, you need to look at all of scripture to get the full picture. Yes, “turn the other cheek” and “give them your shirt as well”, but do those as part of loving your neighbor as you love yourself.

C. For sure. You tell a medieval person “hey, here’s this special rectangular rock mirror that I shoved lightning into through a fancy metal rope, and now it can think and make pictures that move”, you’re not making it out of your witchcraft trial alive

It’s probably different for everyone. My dad retired a few years ago, but he has far from stopped working. He does a lot of work for the church (he’s an elder), and he does a lot if work on the farm they live on.

- Comment on If Christians were real, they’d be lining up to post for their sins (not trying to avoid judgement). 1 month ago:
The best I can do to make sense of what you’re saying is that you’re looking at some of the worst of church leaders (eg. MAGA pastors in America, historical popes, etc), and seeing Christianity as that. If I’ve got that wrong, please correct me.
If that’s what you’re saying, that’s a massive over generalization, to the point where it’s willful. I do agree that there are church leaders out there who see leading a congregation purely as a way to gain some authority, but that is far from all of Christianity.
- Comment on If Christians were real, they’d be lining up to post for their sins (not trying to avoid judgement). 1 month ago:
they’d be lining up to pay for their sins
The whole point of Christianity is we don’t have to do that. Sure, we need to repent and do what we can to avoid sin, but the actual paying for it has been done by Jesus.
