What is the difference between the Orthodox , Catholic and Protestant Christian according to your understanding?

So briefly the Eastern Orthodox and Catholic Churches we’re at odds for quite a while starting in the first few centuries at least having had at least three schisms I can think of. This culminated... Religion & Spirituality

What story is your favorite in the Old Testament?

So this is going to be rather crazy and a bit dark/ grim/ macabre, but I do find it somewhat weirdly humorous. So I’m presuming that most everyone knows the tale of Sodom from Genesis 19, but I’m... Religion & Spirituality

Who was God talking to in Genesis?

Well, the general consensus of secularly minded biblical scholars (and I agree) is that Judaism was originally henotheistic which means that there were many gods, but with one chief deity being... Religion & Spirituality

Why do atheists feel the need to always talk crap about God?

How many atheists do you know of? My presumption would be that most don’t say anything about it, because the need never arises. When someone starts trying to impose their god belief or legislate... Religion & Spirituality

Do you think God approves of WOMEN'S choice of abortion?

That’s a very strict criterion you’ve set, but there’s actually a few Bible verses about abortion. Abortion is the willful termination of a pregnancy and is specifically outlined in Numbers... Religion & Spirituality

Since we can't distinguish existence from non-existence in qualitative and quantitative forms, how can we know if non-existence will occur to us?

I think you’re being very loose with your terms. You seem to be using “non-existence” to both mean the absence of all existing matter and our perception of life. This is obviously deeply... Religion & Spirituality

CS: "If Brains are Intelligently Designed, Then What Would a Non-Designed Brain Look Like" ?

What country was the Garden of Eden in?

Of the options listed Iraq if my geography isn’t too bad, “The name of the third river is the Tigris; it runs along the east side of Ashur. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.” That said I... Religion & Spirituality

Is mocking tongues really the unpardonable sin and is that the same as Blasphemy against the Holy Ghost?

I picked F, but I think some nuance is required. There is a phenomenon known as glossolalia which is known to be more frequent in religious contexts in which a person believes they’re speaking in... Religion & Spirituality

Where You Aware That There Was a Prominent Christian Group That Amalgamated Christianity With Nazi Political Ideology [note flag & see my Updates] ?

Yeah, positive Christianity was the officially espoused religion of the Nazi party. Hitler himself was a little more of a wild card as I pointed out in myTake Hitler a Pantheist, Christian,... Religion & Spirituality

Why Do Atheists Use the Most Unpleasant Stories Involving the Old Testament God as a Straw Man to Represent All Concepts of God?

Not a biased poll at all 😂 From what I’ve seen they don’t, unless someone claims they’re a Christian and that they’re god is all good. They’ll then cite the source text for their belief to show... Religion & Spirituality

When did you stop believing in God?

Do you guys believe religion and politics are separate from each other or intricately linked?

There’s of course the differentiation of whether or not something IS the case, or if it SHOULD be the case. That said I’m certain that religion is inextricably linked to politics for most... Religion & Spirituality

Which of these 7 atheists do you think is most likely to change into theistic views before their death and why?

Don’t know Tom Jump, so couldn’t say. I find t a strange question to ask, but I guess I could still swing a guess. I’d guess Sam Harris as he’s already deeply “spiritual” and enveloped in... Religion & Spirituality

Did You Know That Christianity is the World's Oldest Religion in That it is an Unbroken Continuation of What Was Planned Since Earliest Times?

I guess C? Although more specifically on this question it’s just not apparently true even if we were to allow that Christianity’s history should be extended with Judaism’s history. Judaism is... Religion & Spirituality

Did women have a bigger role in the early church than what we know today?

Is this a question or a statement? If the latter I’d suggest writing a myTake as that’s more the venue for doing so. Presuming the former I’ll take a swing at answering. The answer depends on... Religion & Spirituality

Where do you stand on gay and lesbian conversion therapy and why?
