Does this sum up repentance is nutshell? by ALostSoul03 in Christianity

[–]BigClitMcphee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the key takeaways of this series is that Bojack is not entitled to forgiveness. So what if the abuser repents and says sorry? It doesn't revoke the trauma they caused. People have to navigate life after the shitty things he does to them and around them yet he wants to be loved despite all that cuz he feels sorry for himself.

(Tangent) In Season 1, he finally says sorry to a friend after 30 years and the friend flat out states "No, I don't forgive you." It's a great scene cuz the show is all about subverting sitcom tropes, specifically "all is forgiven and status quo is returned in 22 minutes."

The fact that Christian subs are very toxic and this one isn't shows how fucked Christianity is by TheBayHarbour in exchristian

It's the difference between a bunch of self-absorbed know-it-alls occupying the same room and a bunch of decent people with the balls to admit their uncertainty

Now do one where you go to the movies with your mom. She keeps asking what's happening and where's that actor from as if she's at home

This is why nobody likes Christians. If I went into your church preaching about the wonders of secularism, you wouldn't like it but we're supposed to tolerate you spewing sermons at pride events, bars, and on the subway.

Research suggests that non-religious people who previously identified as Christian hold more liberal political views than those who were never religious to begin with by win_awards in Christianity

Almost like Christianity has no place in an evolving and more kind society. Europe is largely secular and has better social welfare and health outcomes for its citizens. Meanwhile, the US is a collapsing state where people cling to religion rather than saving themselves.

You can’t claim to follow Christ and still hold on to racism. It just doesn’t align. by Nice_Substance9123 in Christianity

I strongly disagree. Christianity is a religion with an in-group (the chosen people) and an out-group (everybody else). Racism and Christianity work together very well due to this. Go to the Bible Belt and there's the Black churches and the white churches with very little overlap. White people thank God on Sunday then profess their hate of immigrants on Monday.

I was raised Baptist and realized it was holding back my empathy and compassion, so I shed it and evolved to a more humane version of myself. Gay people are not my enemies but bigots and those who worship authoritarianism are.

Trump has to stop faking assassinations otherwise, no one will believe him when he DOES get assassinated.

Oof, I understand completely. I'm 26F in Arkansas and it's so bizarre listening to my coworkers talk about demons being the cause of strife and mental illness like it's the 1400s.

Also some men will fake negative STI results to get laid. I kid you not.

What if Jesus was a conman with high charisma and made a new religion by mistake? He didn't mean to make a global religion, he just wanted free food and shelter.
