I don't think this thread is good for Debate and Discussion, OP. But I disagree strongly with any Earthly church being the one true faith. True Christianity is about rejecting the material and embracing selflessness to the mortal extreme. Any church that encourages people to live a full life on Earth is serving Earthly interests, not celestial. I'll let the most recent incarnation of the being you know as Jesus Christ explain further: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDa2rwwZHeE

Early Christians willing went to their deaths to demonstrate their faith to the Roman world. Heaven's Gate emerged at the height of the Pax Americana and demonstrated their faith similarly. Planet Earth's recycling has begun.

Zeno-25 posted:Without a literal belief in the Genesis creation story, there is no such thing as original sin, and thus no reason for Jesus. Without original sin Christianity collapses as a coherent belief system. Only if you accept the literature and ideas that have been politicized and put to use by the lower forces. Jesus died to show the way forward - rejection of the material world.

Obdicut posted:Also how do you deal with the really obvious fact that Christianity began as an end-times religion and Jesus was very clearly stating that the end was nigh? You just deny it through a string of really improbable explanations that all the stuff about how quickly things were going to end and how everyone should give up everything, including leaving their families, that was actually meant in a long-term allegorical way even though there isn't anything that Jesus says that would ever give that impression? Watch the Heaven's Gate video. He was telling people to give up everything because human activities sustain the lower forces that are limited to Earth-like planets.

My Imaginary GF posted:Since time immemorial, religion has been a lens through which to institutionalize power and codify best-practices of tradition. It really is something how the lower forces turned Christ's message about not perptuating the corrupt material world into 'get married, have lots of kids, and do as you're told'

DrProsek posted:Why would you NOT want to worship Mary? Remember Descartes' meditations; something cannot create something more perfect that it itself is, therefore Mary is at least as perfect as God. God is the supreme, perfect penis and Mary is His corresponding vagina and the resulting conception is a new life for all who believe. Catholicism is all about fertility worship. Have to keep producing new humans to serve the lower forces.

DrProsek posted:Pfft, look at this Protestant scrub, not realizing that Mary got pregnant just fine without needing any dick. Because she got pregnant through magic, she made Jesus herself and thus is more perfect than Jesus who is God. God is still the Father - making Him the supreme masculine while Mary is the supreme feminine.

Brandor you are so close to recognizing Do's message: all Earthly things are idolatry, especially the material church organizations. So what happens when these authoritarian Catholic girls get married? Do they submit to their husbands as good Christian wives or is the guy a whipped beta?

It isn't unreasonable to say there's an indefinable something that separates living matter from dead - and biology (especially biological matter with means of imposing will on reality) is a thermodynamically special event, to the best of our knowledge. But I think continuity of the self is a construct of the ego and a kind of vanity.

Kyrie eleison posted:Which is better? A hedonistic yet miserable life that ends in euthanasia and permanent death... or a temperate, virtuous, and joyful life that ends in the hope of the hereafter? One problem with this philosophy of life after death is that it makes it easy for humans to collectively procrastinate - so that is a 'green' reason to remove that frame of mind in secular decision making. Also it is much harder to rationalize acts of murder and suicide without believing there is some supreme justice being meted out.

I came across a youtube talk by Zizek and he brought up a religious philosophy that the thread might find interesting: The human soul doesn't directly control the body - God (or the Holy Ghost specifically) is the channel by which the spiritual manipulates the material. The original sin of Adam and Eve was an awareness of their material bodies, and as a reminder men have a specific organ which can act independently of their spirit.
