honest question: is there another thread here where it would be more appropriate to speak freely on religion, and to challenge religious beliefs, in as respectful a way as possible? because i have about a thousand things i want to say and ask about this:
but i don’t want to come into this thread and just start a giant shit show in what i’m assuming is supposed to be a place for christians to gather and talk about their faith.
without diving into it too far, i’ll just say that the screenshot above seems blatantly cultish and wildly self deluded to a non believer like me. i truly cannot comprehend how people can make themselves believe that jesus christ was in the flood waters with the small children as they violently drowned in the dark. it’s so obviously insane to me that i’m really at a loss that so many millions and millions of people, many of whom i know, love, respect, and admire, will believe the assertion in this IG post to be as real as the air that they breathe or their family who they can see and touch. i’d be interested in hearing the rationale for this type of belief, but again, not if it means turning this thread upside down. i’d rather just start a new thread if that’s the case.
