you do understand where i'm coming from though?

There is a misconception that the Church has a central earthly authority surrounding it. It doesn't. Christ is the head of the Church.

yeah but he's not really around much

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I think He's doing a lot of work in Asia now. Probably done with the westerners. They had their chance LOL

They were waiting longer for Him to come the first time, soooo

[–] lime@feddit.nu 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

most religions are still waiting for the first time.

i'd expect at least a bit of self-reflection.

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

What do you want me to reflect on? The fact that God could love a wretch like me that He - the literal creator of the universe would die for me?

[–] lime@feddit.nu 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

no, belief is a good thing if it helps you. but i'd expect at least some thought given to the fact that a majority of the world's religions disagree with you and that they most likely have a good reason for believing it, other than "we're right, they're wrong". always remember the human.

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Doesn't change the fact that they're wrong. The only other belief systems I can find justification for believing in are agnosticism and atheism. Nothing else really makes sense. But even then, Christianity just seems like the most likely answer given the history surrounding it.

[–] lime@feddit.nu 1 points 3 weeks ago

it does though.
