A-anyway... My dad's a big Christian conspiracy nut. When I was a kid, I wasn't allowed to own trading cards, play video games, or read fantasy novels.
He also goes on a monthly crusade against a NEW UP AND COMING EVIL THAT SATAN IS CALLING UPON US. Yet, he still watches The Sopranos and HBO shit in private.
Here I am, an grown man who can't even speak to his father. My dad's driven himself to literal madness in his old age, calling everyone's attention to the evils of the world that apparently only he sees coming.

ok lets goto that verse and find out what it says
>When you enter the land the Lord your God is giving you, do not learn to imitate the detestable ways of the nations there. 10 Let no one be found among you who sacrifices their son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, 11 or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. 12 Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord; because of these same detestable practices the Lord your God will drive out those nations before you. 13 You must be blameless before the Lord your God.
looks to me like the bible is telling people not to DO all those things. it is not telling people to pretend/imagine doing those things.
>eph 6:12
>For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
doesnt look like this verse says anything about playing pretend either. i call faggotry on that guy, using his own book.

Are there such things as support groups for people who grew up in fundamental Christian homes?
Sometimes this shit is hard to deal with. Whenever I have conversations with people about their childhood, I have to explain how I pretty much wasn't allowed to do anything as a kid, and how I was denied medical attention a few times because they would just leave it to their imaginary hugbox to fix my broken knee, and threatened me with damnation whenever I complained.
>>47657107
I once made the mistake of letting my Christian dad try his hand at a video game, (Halo 3 in Forge mode. We weren't even killing each other, just fucking around and tossing explosives around) and he suddenly started screaming "EVIL!

How can a game be more evil than God himself burn whole cities, infected people with terrible diseases, makes father sacrifice his own son (and forbids sacrifices to other gods lol), ask father to give his daughters to an angry mob of rapist instead of two his messengers and couple of other deeds i personally dont find "good".

He wouldn't say, just that it was evil and I'd end up a serial killer if I kept playing it.

The one that almost got me killed in church was when my 10 year old self almost dismantled the entire building when I asked one simple question.
Keep in mind, at this time I still very much loved god and Jesus. I didn't have any ill intent. I can remember having a truly honest feeling of concern because I couldn't understand.
>Do we have free will?
Yes, god gives us free will to decide good or evil. He grants us freedom.
>Didn't god Harden the Pharaoh's heart? Didn't he make him more hateful?
Well yes. He had to, to prove a point.
>So god knows our hearts and our actions. Why does he let us do evil? Why does he seem disappointed when he already knows what we'll do?
Well, he's god! He can do what he wants!
>That answer doesn't make any sense. I thought we have free will. Is that free will unless he wants us to do specific evils?

I know this is the mother of all bait here, but LOTR is written by one of the most influencial Christians of the modern era.
And hell, his creation story is literally Christianity+Norse mythology.

I cant really argue with that, actually.
Though i do try my best when a verse does come up to read it in context.
>>47657051

I'm always really surprised at how poorly most believers know their faith, let alone can defend it.

Most of them just tried to say I was tricking them
>>47657586
It's not so much bait, as it is an open subject for discussion.
Yeah, with all the shit that my parents gave me for LotR. When I found that out in highschool, I was almost sick to my stomach.
I had been told my whole life that Tolkien's works were evil, and I had to hide them like some sort of dirty magazine.
>>47657586
the reasoning is that he's Catholic.
>>47657563
hey man, Those question are really heavy stuff, which has been argued sense the Hebrews went to Egypt.

Hmmm... Wow. Yeah, I never even realized that. Most of the time, whenever there's a natural disaster in the bible it's pretty specific about the language, too. Instead of "God sent a _____" it's like, "Yeah the people were bummed in Faggostahn because there's been a drought for like six months."
>>47657670

Yeah, it's always the infallible word of God until you come across something that conflicts with modern morals (slavery, women as property, stoning people to death), then it's something that was added in by a misguided mortal trying to twist God's True Word (but was kept in anyway) or "a product of the time it was written."
>>47657232

To be fair it's not hard to imagine that when a religion condemns something, it would probably also condemn any glorification of that thing, anything that presents them as something cool and desirable that can be used for good.
People in the modern world seem much more lax about enjoying fiction in which characters we're supposed to like and admire do socially unacceptable things or are bad people, but I'm not sure ancient hardcore Christians would've felt the same way.

Going to voice an unpopular opinion. I'm Israeli and I see how religion fucks with people on a daily basis. People try to sell you stories about how this whole enormous clusterfuck is about anything else but in the end if you look closely you notice just about every single faction is divided among theological lines. Even within a given side there are schisms along religious lines. No one is willing to give up on their "holy land". Earth they hold more sacred than human lives. No less than 3 peace deals have been rejected by all involved solely because "muh Jerusalem".
If I talk shit about religion it is not because I'm angry that you're celebrating Christmas instead of masturbating to Richard Dawkins but because there are places where it is legitimately causing people to harm each other.
>ITT people who grew up with awful parents in Georgia or Tennessee

I've seen a lot of those guys' ads in old science fiction magazines. Apparently they're explicitly not a religious order (they state that multiple times, often in allcaps), and will share secrets in ancient thinkers and philosophers if you subscribe to their newsletter. Apparently those addd were prominent enough that one of the magazines even featured a story inspired by the idea of them actually being true (a secret organisation tasked with protecting the knowledge of some renesance-era philosopher who came up with half of modern science several centuries early, who recruit exclusively through ads on back of pulp magazines).
>>47660789
Nowadays the pendulum has swung hard enough to the other side that even contrarians deploy the fedora meme at the slightest provocation.
>>47660808
Because for a while there, you saw really aggressive anti-theist types screaming about religion over the slightest provocation, and they've become the face of atheism somehow. Your Dawkins and your Stephen Fry and other outspoken dickholes became the first thing everyone thought of, and people became pre-emptively defensive and pissed off because an attack could come at any moment.
Note: I'm not defending religion here, as such, just saying why I think people are so aggressive when atheism comes up.
>>47660840

The Alt-right is more likely to be some denomination of Christian or Pagan than it is to be atheist. But the new atheist movement hardly needs to be linked with alt-right movements to be considered awful: atheism+ is basically thought-policing newspeak nonsense, an authoritarian power trip for teens and twentysomethings.

I figured it either meant any comic that isn't DC/Marvel, or independently made 'zine style comic books.
I've followed both before, so I checked it.

24, but now I'm curious about Trilateralism and Backmasking, it will get higher.
>>47662504
Backmasking's simple shit: Just record you saying something, reverse that audio, and put it in behind some other audio so that it can be heard when the compiled file is played backwards.
>>47662521
So it's like the other 'hidden message' shit, if you know where to look you will find it, but otherwise, no way.
>>47662444
A mere 18. I tried.
>>47656737
The most hilarious thing is that there is no real diffrence between these cunts and the postmodernist. They both only care about "muh feel" and "muh dogma", their counter-reason idiocy leading them to look like fucking idiots.
>>47656737
To be fair, postmodernism is basically the worst thing.
>>47662444
8, 9 if you add in being an atheist.
>>47662792
Where is atheism on that list?
Favorite thing to do with the religious nuts on campus back when I was in college was to us Cthulhu mythos as my "religion" and try to convert them to the worship of the blind idiot god Azathoth.

If you count atheism, and my tile fetish, that would make it 17.

It isn't, but every good Christian knows that atheists are all baby-eating sociopaths, so I figured it counted.

>>47664814
I'm just assuming anything vaguely anti-christian, anti-american (read as anything that doesn't purport the US as A+ numero uno) or anything that could fuck with their worldview is on that list, hence trilateralism as it implies the us, or generally anyone making compromises, its fucking weird and I'll agree with ya that its hard to wrap ones head around this shit.
I ain't got no problems with christianity but its individual fuckface fundementalists like these who ruin the fun times for everyone.
>>47664814
Considering the crazy person that's spouting this, "trilateralism" is probably something to do with the Christian trinity (pentecostals are nontrinitarian, though only rarely do you find one crazy enough to actually care about it), or maybe it has something to do with Christianity/Judaism/Islam. The only thing I can find on it is some podcast called "Religious Trilateralism and the Control Grid," which looks pretty fucking /pol/ and I'm not going to waste 2+ hours listening to a rant on youtube.

As a Christian, I feel like I have to apologise for this guy...also correct me if I'm wrong but, I thought Jesus was a new covenant and that the old bs laws didn't apply....do I still need to be a Jew to be Christian?

It's probably got to do with the Trilateral Commission.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trilateral_Commission
It's a favorite target of conspiracy theorists.
>>47665103
Jesus spent an awful lot of time saying that the old covenant is 100% still in place. Multiple quotes from multiple disciples all say that the old rules still apply and literally nothing could possibly cause even the tiniest bit of God's Law to be waived (Matthew 5 18 being a good example).
But apparently him going crossy built up enough credit that a lot of the old rules could be safely ignored or something. I don't know how that works.
>>47665271
Fair enough...I don't think anyone knows how it works....thanks for clearing that up or something?

From what I know about it it's an "evolving opinions" situation. The Word of God doesn't change, but how open it is to interpretation most certainly does, which is why a new Pope could mean looser rules on being gay or eating shellfish.
>>47656873
Holy shit, me too. We didn't even have TV reception, could only watch movies that he picked out.

The Pope can change the rules because Catholics believe that there's a specific covenant between the Popes and God.
If a Pope decides that something should be a certain way and specifically asks God to make it so, God will honor their agreement and make it so. Part of that covenant is supposed to be that the Pope has a strong obligation to ensure that everything asked for is morally correct and the consequences thought out, which is why the church is sloooooow with adapting to changes in moral views.
Stillborn children don't go to purgatory anymore because a Pope decided that it wasn't right for that to happen. People who are cremated don't go to purgatory anymore because a Pope decided that it was time for that to change.
>>47668187
>and their spears into pruning hooks.
Bit of an improvement if you ask me.
>>47668383
And the Pope changing the rules doesn't mean that the rules weren't previously correct. It just means that the situation has changed and it is now correct to be a different way to keep up with that change in situation.

The transition from OT to NT was a lot about "further revealing" the word of god. So, for example, people did not sacrifice animals to please god but to remember their sins. With Jesus' death, his sacrifice ended all sacrfice, and confessing your sins before god takes that same role. Another is the restriction on certain food items. Jesus says it wasn't that the food was somehow tainted and it wouldn't taint you by consumption - as food just went in and then out again. It was restricted for a different reason, and he more or less "declared all foods clean." The things that "changed" are really more examples of "You can't do X because Y" into "X is okay if you are wary of and prevent Y."
Also, a lot of the OT rules and restrictions were actually sanitation laws (the "ceremoniously unclean" stuff in particular, which included certain foods) or things that the people needed at that time. For example, after Egypt, God tried to form what was almost a democracy, but the people begged for a king to rule them. He told them "you won't be happy with a king," and they begged anyways, so he outlined a way for them to anoint a king over themselves. Clearly, you can't point to that outline and say, "We are defying god by not having kings," because there is more to it.
Lastly, it IS a new covenant that is replacing the old one (IIRC). What isn't changing is the word given to Abraham and Moses, which he is also explicit in saying he's here not to defy but to fulfill. It's pretty much summed up as, "Behold, I will give you a new covenant. The old one was fine but you pieces of shit keep refusing to adhere to it, so here's one that is easier to keep." Thus the holy spirit and writing his word in their heart. (Hebrews 8:6-13. The OT prophesy that it is fulfilling is Jeremiah 31:31-34).

It was more of the fact that him going crossy established a new covenant with God, symbolised by the tearing of the curtain in the Temple. It basically gave a new covenant, separating Christians from the old Jewish law
>>47669345
Any chance you could point me to where this is located in the Bible?
>>47657602
>Most of them just tried to say I was tricking them
It's literally the best and only defense they have against basic reason.
>>47669475
So, basically, in Hebrews, there are prophesies about new covenant with God, in Hebrews 9:15 and 8:13, and in Isaiah 42, it talks about the Messiah being the representation of this new covenant. If you believe that Jesus is the Messiah and the Son of God, like he did in Matthew 26:63-64, then you believe that he brought that around with his death. The tearing of the curtain in the Temple in Jerusalem in Matthew 27 after his death, the same curtain that traditionally separated the Israelites from God, showed the fulfilment of the new covenant and the new relationship with God

Jesus spent a great deal more time never existing in the first place.
What's the proof that he did exist? Parables written 70 years after his death in an age where people barely saw 50, in a book staring a talking snake and a chatty bush?
The Josephus account, the most obvious 11th century interpolation (see: forgery)?
Tacitus, a poorly translated piece of correspondence from a guy listening to hear-say?
Seriously, if we were talking about any other character of any other religion, Christians would call this level of "proof" thin and puerile bullshit... But because it's part of the shit they've elected to sacrifice their dignity, intellect and self worth to, they MUST believe it.
Pathetic.
>>47668466
We're talking about a cult that loves to cling to the past to such a degree that they believe demons are the sole cause of all illnesses and that invisible, tribal blood-gods are monitoring their thoughts.

Stop talking to fundamentalists. No serious theologian believes that the Bible is 'the word of God', especially as we can see the damn edits people made to the extant texts centuries later.

One of the reasons why the United States even exists today is because there was a fairly wide spread conspiracy theory among American Colonists in the 1760s and 1770s that George III was a Catholic and was plotting with the Pope and the King of France to give America to Quebec.

Much like an S&M fetish, it's all about power. If they can take away these things that you enjoy then they have power over you. I suppose some of it probably stems from good old fashioned racism/xenophobia too, as eastern religions and yoga are mentioned. But a large part of it is power, and a sense of superiority, since they don't enjoy any of those things they can pretty much ignore those bans except for trying to applying it to others.
