Are religious kids a bit gullible?

[pascalfornalz]

don't they listen to everything their pastors tell them? don't they have any crigical thinking? This is pretty common amongst the evangelicals/Pentecostals, is it not?

[jshm2]

They are in school no different than any other kids, and being attentive.

You're being a bit of an insular, sneering, dickhead if your only assertion is that these kids are listening to a faith authority figure.

If anything, that puts them above you automatically as they will listen to someone. Whereas your ilk will dither, deflect, deny and bullshit at your whim. Then claim ignorance when it all comes down, as a result.

It's why atheism like burglary has always been a malady to deal with.

[pascalfornalz]

It’s true though. They only listen to eat their church pastors tell them. If that was that you then good.

Tell me that “ you don’t know me!” when I don’t you anything really bar what your pastor told you.

[pascalfornalz]

Oh and nobody had to listen to others. You should understand that as wise man.
You’ll get highly offended at me judging you but then you’re not owed anything else. Moreover you’ll probably try to find me out to beat me based n what your church taught you but good luck. One bing you’ll is you’ll lose any encounter and secondly you’d be thrown in jail as I have my relatives and connections in the police force. And objectively you would be legally wrong. I know your family and clan don’t care for lee or social expectations but then you’re alone. I’ll keep offending you by judging you since you cannot say you’re anything special in a million years.

Pentecostals, definitely. Basing everything on a belief that "The Spirit spoke to me." is asking for problems, as is their doctrine against questioning "God's anointed" (themselves). How can you test what they teach if it is considered blasphemy to do so?

Evangelicals, it depends upon their pastors. Many pastors are milquetoast, rainbows and unicorns preachers. Then you get the hardcore ones who tell the people to test everything. Some are experts in logic and actually teach the congregants.

But by and large you are sadly accurate.

So... which is more ridiculous to believe in, that God works miracles through people...

... or that a virgin gave birth to the Son of God?

If you accept the latter. Everything else is a pretty easy pill to swallow.

I think you’re scum by the way. Lower than worm shit.

Toodles.

Someone who believes “Do what the book says or else an invisibly sky beast will punish you by sending you to an invisible underground beast and won’t let you join his totally badass sky beast club!”


Will believe anything.

[Agagagagaga]

Do you really think that religious people follow commandments simply from fear of damnation?

Do you only follow the law so you don’t go to prison?

You haven’t really thought about this stuff very deeply.

[NotTacocaT6969]

Would you murder a baby on an altar if the law told you to?

Because people did that when religion told them to.

Would you tie a woman to a stick and set her on fire if the law told you to?

Because people did that when religion told them to.

Would you skewer your neighbor and parade their bleeding corpse around town for not joining your cult?

Because that’s what people did when religion told them to.

I gave a harmless and vague answer. But I can use the entirety of the dark ages if you really want to get technical.

[pascalfornalz]

Ok. But you do realise humans aren’t always serious. I dunno if you’re depressed or have odd perceptions of humanity. I only say this because you are pretty much all paying about the most trite shit imaginable.

[Jacobbbb]

I believe so. If that stuff is hard wired into their brain at that age they'll just go on without forming their own perceptions which sucks
