@Rod1 - Are you up to a jiu-jitsu randori?:D
 
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?

Evangelical Protestantism could never commission, create, or inspire this sort of artistic and cultural greatness.

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 .
What's more plausible about it, than any other theory?

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.
 
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..

Jesus literally said he came to bring war, not peace and that he would set family against each other so at least that part was true

It goes beyond that. Prots don't believe in the veneration of images and consider it a form of idolatry. They even went as far as destroying artwork across Europe for over a century after the Reformation kicked off. Catholicism is obviously deep into sensory and visual aesthetics that are designed to evoke a sense of the divine and facilitate spiritual experiences (as well as soft indoctrination, tbh). It's not any kind of coincidence there are drop dead gorgeous cathedrals to be found all over the world or that the Vatican has commissioned a lot of the most iconic artwork in the history of the western canon.
 
Big bang theory was created by a priest.

joe like most protestant radical fundamentalists forget that science and god are not mutually exclusive

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.

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.

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.

As for Rogan, I mean most of his cultural and political views are basically like those of a plain vanilla 90’s liberal democrat. Is he a bit obnoxious and overplayed at this point? Sure, but I think his overall message and stance is fairly well meaning and he doesn’t deserve all that hate just cause he’s a bit of a meathead.

Because Catholicism has actually trained clergymen who need to actually study theology before practicing.

Even if one does not believes in the spiritualism of the Catholic religion, one can at least respect the academic structure of their beliefs.

Supersessionism, also called fulfillment theology by its proponents, is the Christian doctrine that the Christian Church has superseded the Jewish people, assuming their role as God's covenanted people, thus asserting that the New Covenant through Jesus Christ has superseded or replaced the Mosaic covenant. Supersessionists hold that the universal Church has become God's "true Israel" and thus Christians are the People of God.

Often claimed to have originated with
Paul the Apostle in the New Testament, supersessionism has formed a core tenet of Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches for the majority of their history. Many early Church Fathers—including Justin Martyr and Augustine of Hippo—were supersessionist. The theology that religious Jews dissent by continuing to exist outside the Church is extensive in Catholic liturgy and literature. The Second Vatican Council (1962–1965) marked a shift in emphasis of official Catholic teaching about Judaism, a shift which may be described as a move from "hard" to "soft" supersessionism.

Rabbinic Judaism rejects supersessionism as offensive to Jewish history. Islam teaches that it is the final and most authentic expression of Abrahamic monotheism, superseding both Judaism and Christianity. The Islamic teaching of tahrif teaches that earlier monotheistic scriptures or earlier interpretations of them have been corrupted by later interpretations of them, while the Quran presents a pure and unaltered version of their divine message.
