        LOL i was never catholic, i couldn’t care less if you think your sect is superior to another-- it’s ALL make-believe. santa claus for “grown-ups”

        and you haven’t yet addressed the core belief of original sin, which honestly, pounding that crap into kids’ heads is child abuse if you ask me. here you are, a grown ass adult, genuinely believing that because you were born human, you and everyone else is paying the price for an equally make-believe storybook character’s egregious crime of eating “forbidden fruit”

        sure “it’s allegory,” whatever. the fall of man has to do with knowledge, somehow.

        i really don’t care about the details, because it’s all bullshit anyway. and there’s always someone there to preach about it. thank you for illustrating that point

          Maybe you should have phrased it differently then because I didn’t disagree when you said original sin is bullshit. Adam and Eve sined. That was their issue. You live your own separate life

          Original sin is a Catholic teaching. So which flavor of Catholic are you? Were you a Methodist? A calvinist a Lutheran, a Baptist, a born-again or just generic American ist

            and yet, because we are descended from that “original sin,” we are subject to “sinful tendencies.” whether our “sin” is an effect or a cause doesn’t matter if sin itself is bullshit. which it is.

              Again your Catholicism is showing. We’re just people on a rock spinning through space as far as I was taught and the Orthodox Church is concerned.

              Live your best life.

                  You seem to have conflated Christianity and Catholicism. They are not exactly the same thing.

                    ok. all catholicism is christianity, but not all christianity is catholicism. so what? again, (and again and again), it’s all bullshit. you’re the one who can’t stop bringing up catholicism, as if it’s “not christianity”

                    if someone says “i’m christian,” then that person is christian. there is literally nothing you or anyone else can do or say to refute that. that’s how religion works. it’s whatever the fuck you want it to be. that’s why there’s ~40,000 different christianities. someone was sitting in church and said “i don’t like that” about some part of the sermon, and went off and started their own sect. this happens in all branches of all religions.

                    it doesn’t even matter if you’re waving around the same holy book as all the rest as “proof” of your beliefs. they’re all bronze age fairy tales that someone pulled out of their ass and called it “holy scripture” or “divine providence” or the “word of god” or some other shit.

                    believe whatever you want. christianity is dying. ALL of them. and it’s about fucking time the human species grew up and let their imaginary friends go
