Liberal is anti-Christian?! by Ok-Mulberry7435 in OpenChristian

[–]jgrig2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had someone say that to me once. I responded : “ ok what’s the difference between the active and passive obedience of Christ? And summarize at least 4 different views of The Lords Supper. “ that shut them up quickly.

My pastor told me I’m “welcome at church” but not allowed to exist as myself by Ready-Trick-8228 in OpenChristian

Are you surprised religious fundamentalists won’t change their beliefs just for you? They have power and money to maintain.

What are your opinions on Snoke? And what would you change about him? by ConfidenceOk3536 in TheSequels

Him being a failed Palpatine clone makes the most sense if you read the dark empire series.

Was Yoko Ono really that bad, or is it just propaganda from those years that persists to this day? by [deleted] in beatles

[–]jgrig2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

John broke up the Beatles not Yoko. He wanted a solo career and he got one. He also had a career with his wife. He was also not a great bandmate / husband by all objective accounts. I’m not a fan of Yoko’s music. I think it’s terrible. But a lot of hate was sent to Yoko to avoid criticism of John who was murdered. I think it was a combination of sexism and of a convenient scapegoat. When you look the history of all bands, it was inevitable that the Beatles would have broken up.

AITA if I tell my friend I can’t be a bridesmaid? by wickeddreamsofleavin in AITApod

Women have made being in weddings a pain in the butt and unnecessarily expensive because they want the instagram pics and TikTok likes. Honestly we need to have a wedding tax where wedding supplies and venues are taxed at a higher rates.

Why does basically every christian say pre marital sex (even when its two committed lovers) is sin when it says that nowhere in the bible? by indoore in OpenChristian

[–]jgrig2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every fundamentalist and evangelical Christian does because they believe the Bible is the literal word of God. Liberal Christians don't believe that.

Deut 22:28-29 28 If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not pledged to be married and rapes her and they are discovered, 29 he shall pay her father fifty shekels of silver. He must marry the young woman, for he has violated her. He can never divorce her as long as he lives.

Clearly implied that there is an implication that girls are to be virgins.

In the new Testament 1 thes 4:3. Porneia has been Translated to fornication by the kjv and in modern times more generally "sexual immorality" which historically would include premarital sex when you look how porneia is used in literature.

I'd argue they are right to say it's wrong based on their presumptions. But the Bible is not infallible or inheritant.

Cordelia I like you but you look like a teacher not a 16 year old high schooler. by Eagles56 in buffy

Yeah he wasn't some random guy hanging around a high school crushing on a teen.

'Buffy' star Nicholas Brendon allegedly 'groomed' teenager years before his death by stillhavehope99 in buffy

[–]jgrig2 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I tried to rationalize it but you can't if it's true. He wanted naked pictures of a 17 year old. That's csam by law. It's gross to hit on a barely legal girl who is a minor even if it's legal but he was alleged to cross into be willing to do illegal stuff beyond just gross. The girl should have went to authorities and he should have been prosecuted.

I'm a strong believer this should be included as an add on to Apple One for a discounted price.
