System Metternich posted:Oregon church says: No fat chicks/dudes in or worship team, tyvm. Also no shoes with white soles and you have to speak in tongues and you have to be born again which to me are the two most weird/off-putting requirements altogether. Why the fixation on being born again, does that mean that people who have been members of this particular church since their birth but never had a profound spiritual crisis or whatever can't make it? i will say this about oregon, it's where the simpsons came from No Fat Chicks

Josef bugman posted:Well what else is it? Breaking an oath? Damaging another trust? Making a choice to abandon someone you used to care for? All of those things are, extremely, dickish. However I would argue that they are not evil. Hitting someone you are in a relationship with is, to my mind, far lower on my personal moral scale. Or psychologically abusing someone. submitted to goons.txt

Mo Tzu posted:i always find it interesting how a lot of people who talk about "consumerist culture" rarely look beyond the veil of apps, iphones, and jeans and look to the real cause of this so-called "culture of consumption"; namely, capitalism. consumerist culture in this context becomes less about issues of class and poverty and more about scapegoating contemporary morality we should get together and talk about conspicuous consumption some time

Bel_Canto posted:I'm not terribly fond of it, precisely because, as you said, the theology is pure fiction. Granted, I'm also deeply uncomfortable with anything other than an allegorical depiction of God the Father, no matter how progressive it might be. I guess there's nothing particularly wrong with people reading it just for pleasure, though I don't think it's particularly well-written either, but I think that reading it in the context of Christian theology is a severe mistake. I never felt like it grappled with the problems of evil and death in a serious way; it shares the too-common fault of Christian fiction of attempting to resolve all of its reader's doubts instead of accompanying them in uncertainty and affirming that nobody needs to have the answers to find holiness. God was a woman in that, right? The murder rape bits were tough to swallow but also something something forgiveness? I didn't like that book but I read it in jail so maybe my context was bad.

regulargonzalez posted:This will be long. Sincere thanks to anyone who reads through it, and even bigger thanks to anyone who can parse out what I'm talking about and help. If you're not for real having a mental health crisis you can see little things sometimes that can reinforce your spirituality. They're usually impossible to explain to another person and can be explained away by a brain scan that shows exactly which part of the fatty lump between our ears is activated by religion and spirituality. Which then gives an opening to people who believe "whatever you call it" is aliens or something. Re-up your meds if you get to that point. But that little bit of divinity I think we all experience when things are just odd is a blessing. Often it's not ominous, just a little ridonkulous. Like that plastic bag scene in American Beauty. It's pure schlock but it's also really enjoyable (but hard to share) Also I don't think it's a thing you can pursue, it'll just come to you. welp that's my weird thought

But we have a president who didn't do any lip service to a televangelist! Also we had a perfectly fine president who put his minister front and center even though he said mean things about white people. So, so far we're *hehe* in the black. If you ignore all the presidents from before we were born Including the Catholic one who got his brains blown about.

Cythereal posted:Yeah. It was a "joke" from an American Christian deeply embittered by the American political system, its entanglement with religion, and how extreme the right wing of both have gotten. The Liveleaks of ISIS/ISIL made me scared of a bunch of dudes in jumped up Toyotas because they'd just give lesser Muslims a shovel and point a gun at their head and say "start digging" "If you don't dig your own graves you get the knife" I can not get that image out of my head. I don't understand it but all of the Muslims I know are not insane murderers. Guess I'm just lucky that way.

Nor can the Pope of Rome, in any sense, be head thereof; but is that Antichrist, that man of sin, and son of perdition, that exalts himself, in the Church, against Christ and all that is called God" at the pope. It's like a Calvinist drinking game where everyone loses. Isn't that a fairly common response? Not quite sane but I've heard it before.

I have zero ideas about the Calvinist drinking game though. Last summer I spent some time with the homeless and one of them got extremely irate when I told him about a family friend/pastor guy who used Calvin and Hobbes to illustrate philosophical concepts. I didn't even say what his opinion was on whether the little boy or the stuffed tiger was better but he got all CALVINISTS!* He wasn't religious either, he was in to Lyndon Larouche. *And now I've met a homeless dude who is named Calvin and he is in some dire straights from this weather
