It's a finely honed skill tbh imo tbhI wish I could talk like an old timey carnival barker dealing with a heckler the way he does
I have nothing against believing in God. My issue is with individuals who don't practice or even believe in the religion they profess to adhere to, and the grifters who satisfy their confirmation bias. I agree with everything in the paragraph following "As an ex-..."
"It means nothing to point out their behavior runs contrary to Christ."
100% they're divorced from it entirely. It's nauseating and sad. Can you imagine a world where all these self-professed fundamentalists actually practiced His teachings?

What's more plausible about it, than any other theory?The Bing
The big Bang is just the most plausible theory we have at the moment to explain the existence of our universe it certainly isn't written in stone .
Evangelical Protestantism could never commission, create, or inspire this sort of artistic and cultural greatness.

Never said I believe the big bang theory. Its just in my mind its maybe a 10% chance... simulation theory is a 20% chance... Christianity, Judaism and Islam combined is like .0000000000001% chance. Too many wars fought between those 3...
I just don't see God telling his peoples to kill and conquer and subjugate everyone. And if he is all knowing.. Then surely he wouldve known that Christianity would've been used to wage wars..
Well, to be fair, they didn't have the money compared to the Catholics, and when you think about why, you see they are not without shameful behavior of their own, of course. Are you familiar with the connection between the printing press and "indulgences"?
Even so, I agree they're pretty amazing accomplishments. Mind you, the reason for the plain nature of protestant places of worship may simply be their preachers stuffing their own pockets instead.
Back when I was a teenager, we lived next to a Pentecostal church. Next to it was a home provided to their pastor by the church, which was, in turn, owned by the attendees. Buddy had an RV like the one given to that tool on the supreme court as well. And wadda ya know, the flock woke up one day to find they'd been completely fleeced by this ram a lam a ding dong and the next thing you know, he's gone, the church is a daycare, and the pastor's house has been picked up on the cheap by some rando.
Big bang theory was created by a priest.
joe like most protestant radical fundamentalists forget that science and god are not mutually exclusive

The Ten Commandments were. Checkmate, liberals.The big Bang is just the most plausible theory we have at the moment to explain the existence of our universe it certainly isn't written in stone .
That show sucksBig bang theory was created by a priest.
But it’s related, woke-ism is the religion of the secular liberal, and it borrows most of Christianity’s ideals, they just exclude the whole redemption, forgiveness, and kindness thing.this is whataboutism.
look, i'm not denying there are looney tunes on the left, and perhaps even crisis actors (likely on both sides)
but that is a different thread and a different point. Rogan ironically pedals his pseudo-intelligent bs as free-thinking when he is anything but.

I sometimes strain to see how they are even part of the same religion. The differences in doctrine and theology are absolutely incompatible. There is so much that separates the Catholic Church beyond the papacy and magisterium, just off the top: confirmation, penance, purgatory, transubstantiation, solemnities, the intercession of saints, salvation through faith (plus grace and good works), aforementioned veneration of images. It's even apparent down to things as otherwise minor as the symbol of a crucifix compared to the empty crosses of protestants.
I chose my words carefully lol , I'm glad someone picked up on itThe Ten Commandments were. Checkmate, liberals.
That show sucks
