I’m not saying Christianity correlates with stupidity, but...

[The Nuclear Option]

Jesus really seems like a nice guy and has a nice message generally, The thing that just seems stupid is how petty and easily explainable his “miracles” are.

Walking on water - if you look at picturea of the dead sea, there are numerous salt “paths” where salt is raised to almost water level or just above. From the right angle it looks like someone walking on water.

Turning water into wine, feeding the masses attending his sermon- it’s a potluck and byob.

Raising the dead - well just Lazurus. How does anyone know he actually was dead and not just sick or conspiring with Jesus like any ild charlatan. A real miracle would be raising ALL the dead in all the cemeteries.

Curing the sick. How does anyone we know they were cured, cause they momentarily felt better or just because his boys said that he did? Why not do a real miracle and cure all the sick in the whole world. Really knock that miracle out of the park instead of a bunt?

Jesus himself rising from the dead. Was he really dead ir just “mostly dead?” Who saw him after he rose? Just a couple of his followers? Why didnt he make a public appearance after that.

Sus.

Or a simpler explanation...

IT'S ALL BULLSHIT AND FICTION

Like the oil in the temple burning for 8 days, or trumpets making the walls of jericho fall down, or the red sea parting, or . . . shall I go on. I think not.

It's not even that it's "bullshit," it's that they're parables that were never meant to be taken literally.

Oh bullshit Dan, I was talking to a snake the other day and he said it was all true.

Not everyone has taken well to having miracles explained by science. Prof Nof said he had been receiving emails every two or three minutes. "Three out of four of them are negative and some of them are pretty nasty," he said.

yep, Christians being Christian.

Just to address one point:
There were less than 10 trans NCAA athletes out of 510,000.

This is a thread about Stupid Christians. The Stupid Trumptards thread is in PA. I might have replied "I can take an immoral POTUS but draw the line a Fucking Morans holding the office"

Fantastic post.

I am stealing this and plan to casually drop it in a conversation with some Christians I know .

You guys are really gonna hate it when Blue Laws are the enacted nationwide and you can't buy a beer or ski on Sundays. I read that 35% of young people believe democracy is a lousy system. Speaker of the House asks god how to govern.

Good luck.

that'll never happen, too much beer sells on sundays and too much money to be made but allowing outdoor activities on sundays; money always wins.

I threw up in my mouth when I read that Cardinal Dolan felt that Trump had a deep personal connection with hisChristian faith. Vision in my head was of a Cardinal on his knees giving donnie a blow job.

I am convinced that if someone believes The Flintstones was a documentary, there is no limit to how stupid or shitty they can be. That kind of vacant eyed bullshit is how you get people to fly airplanes into skyscrapers and it's ridiculous to think a person like that could govern competently even with the best of intentions. It's Orwellian. The party/church/whatever's final commandment was something about denying what you can see and hear with your own eyes and ears. I forget the exact wording, but you get it.

It's not meant to be taken literally, but applied to all makers of diary products.

That's funny, although the Christian Scientists I believe are the only ones whose religion says no to shots. I know there have been clusters in some religious groups--some Mennonites in Tx (or is it NM), Orthodox Jews in NY but that's more about weird beliefs spreading in close knit communities. The religious leaders of both of those groups say it has nothing to do with religious doctrine.
