I think they have weekly meetings in a big building, but when I see them online all they talk about is trans and abortions.

I think a lot of the online conversation is just the Kremlin stoking culture wars.

Bob from Ohio is actually Yuri from St. Petersburg... or just KremlinGPT.

Imagine an all powerful being that requires constant praise.

This isn't really an open ended question. This is a forum not simply a straw poll.

I worship as a Christian regularly, yes.

[-] awwwyissss@lemm.ee 7 points 9 months ago

No. The world is much more enjoyable and generally better without those irrational and dangerous beliefs in my mind.

I was "Christian", at least nominally. Didn't quite believe at 8 and not at all by 10, haven't seen any reason to go back to religion since then. Rather the opposite...

You might say I might, loosely speaking. Definitely not one of the "big" groups though, though Jesus is a large part of my life template.

Ever hear of the Mune Shinri?

I’m a Christian!

No, and for my one-minute abridged defense:

Gen 1-2 definitely didn't happen and were written by two different groups with different religious views using two different creator-god names
Noah's Ark definitely didn't happen, and the story repeats itself all the time because it crushes together the Yahwist's and Elohist's writing in a manner especially suggestive of natural human authorship
New Testament claims that the human lineage is as young as is reported in Gen 2 (Luk 3:38) and has Jesus - presumably the same entity as God - suggest multiple times in two gospels that the great flood was a real event

That's about enough to deconvert already, and it keeps getting worse the deeper you take things
