Christianity is not about some strict laws and codes anymoreanymore. Christianity is different from Judaism. Things have changed after the death of Jesus. You need not know the Torah and the other laws before you can become a Christian.
Because the cure is worse than the disease as the some 100 million dead in the name of atheistic communism bear witness to. Even if false, religion is useful and that is good enough for me.
@JRICHARDS1996 i disagree, if religious people want to pray they can do so in their own house, they dont need super power institutions for that. just look at the vatican.
@JRICHARDS1996, Lol, atheistic communism... this guy. How many times has this stupid argument been used by Christian apologists? Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, and virtually every other communist dictator in history, the best modern example being in North Korea, have banned religion completely for the sake of creating a cult of personality around those leaders. It's a religion in itself, that you can't question the leaders or speak out against them otherwise you'll be killed. Kinda like a lot of Islamic countries? Or the Inquisition? Atheists want a society guided by logic, does killing someone by defying their leadership sound logical?
@Rissyanne If you read closely in the beginning of the myTake, then you would know it is written as a reply to a different myTake. In that myTake, the other person uses the term "Christian mythology" instead of "Christian theology". There is actually a technical difference between theology and mythology. Mythology is a collection of narratives; there is no truth judgment in it; it's truth-neutral. Theology is the study of God.

So essentially your telling me to study Christianity?
Well, if you want to know how to criticize X, then you must understand X, find weaknesses in X, and then make an educated criticism.
Insults are childish. Period.
Can I use this for Muslims and Jews too or is that racism/nazism?
Yes. The main goal is to be a smart critic.
why dont we just question institutionalized religion?

"You swear to God you'll tell yeh truth?"
Yaaaa... I'll tell you as much truth as the people who wrote that Bible , how do you like that?
Pretty sure if I wrote a my take saying "how to insult muslins" it would be pulled down.
Tired of this double standard
I just reported this take requesting it to be taken down. You are correct.
@Rissyanne I think the title is offensive and misleading of what the topic is really about.
I take offense to it. Would you do the same thing on Islam? I think not. I hope they take this down.

Why do I need to insult them in an educated manner? Like shooting fish in a barral.
Please do a take on how to question Islam
Why not just let people be?
How rude!!
