TIL that evangelicals who listen, in church, to the literal Sermon on the Mount are complaining to said preachers about all those "woke leftist talking points." When reminded that these were the literal teachings of Jesus Christ, they double down about how it's old, week, and no longer applies.
Evangelicalism is running out of actual Christians in its churches. They're so addicted to toxic GOP insanity that they've replaced their actual religion with insane political machinations in a silly hat.
As a non Jew, this is one of the things I appreciate about Judaism. Y’all might believe this, but you spend zero effort convincing me this is true.
Except for orthodox jews who are currently legislating their ass-backwards practice in Israel.
Every religion sucks, some just have the power.
You're right. It isn't true. Judaism's official position is that Judaism is explicitly for Jews only. You're welcome to join us if you do the work to do so and realize the difficulty it may bring, but it's our thing and we explicitly do not try to try to convince other people to become Jews. We actively do the opposite, discouraging people to convert. Being Jewish doesn't make us better people or worse people than anyone else, it just makes us Jews.
“All religions are true but none are literal.”
Christianity is the one true religion. Except for Christianity that is not the Christianity that I grew up with. That Christianity is false.
This is a pretty uneducated take, the statement may be generally true for monotheisms, but is pretty off base when it comes to the broad range of religions as a whole.
True! In a polytheist perspective multiple religions can be valid. Even the bible doesn't actually claim there is only one God just that Yahweh demands to be placed atop the heirachy along with a lot of rules that would make worshipping any other God really hard.
Like take things from a Shinto perspective. There is no reason to suspect Yahweh doesn't exist, but the characterization might be of a God who is lying because they want adoration and loyalty. Jesus, Mohammed, Buddha etc are all viable as living beings who were far enough into their individual spiritual journeys that they could be living gods (though the concept of god is a little different from a pantheon-esque idea of a god or the idea rendered from a monotheist perspective.)
In Shinto you basically have more Gods than can be counted. Some of them like to interfere with humans and the world but for the most part whether you believe in them or not makes little to no difference to the Gods doing their thing. They are more likely to notice you if you try and get their attention but you have a chaotic blend of forces all work so every God that is claiming to be the best/only God would essentially be a flawed insecure power looking to lie to a bunch of humans (who are essentially children just starting out their spiritual progression) for basically similar reasons one lies to children. Either to control their behaviour or because it's an easy source of validation... Or they just think it's funny? In the belief system there is nothing to say these powers are not fallible. Just like adults they can have faults and thus all belief systems that have something alike to Gods (Kami) could all potentially be real and non-contradictory in the sense that there is a framework that supports them all existing simultaneously... Though absolutely contradictory in their motives.
Monotheist systems essentially give their Gods a sort of authorial intent. It is impossible for them to be flawed because they are the judge and jury of what is correct because they made the game and set the rules. Thus there can only be one correct set of answers. So multiple valid points of worship are simply not viable unless those entities are subordinate to the God of authorship.
Not Buddhism right? Can’t you be a Buddhist and also be a member of any other religion too?
Buddhism believes in reincarnation, which contradicts many other religions. Christianity believes in purgatory, heaven, and hell, but Buddhism has many times more and no hell lasts forever (although the worst "sins" will put you in a very specific hell for at least a billion years)
If you can't be someone better tell all those tens of millions of followers in South East Asia who are syncretist with ancestor worship, multiple Hindu gods, and local animism.
Tell me you don't know many religious people without telling me you don't know many religious people.
Introducing the Ba'hai religion: My religion is true because all the other religions are true.
Zen Buddhist here. If your religion makes you feel a type of way then it's working. I know this table is real because I see and feel it. Relationships to religion are a personal experience and I'm not here to tell judge you about the validity of it. We all good homie
I'm not sure i want these pedophiles in our bathrooms
