Churches dying/Porn Rising

[Nester6]

Its nice to see churches here in almost all denominations dying out. Lack of priests, lack of usefullness, lack of believers.
When has prayer ever accomplished anything?
On the other hand, I see porn in all shapes and forms, videos, dvd's computer access gaining popularity and recognition on a regular basis. A good fucking orgasm is my true religion.Thank the porn god!!!!

In reality, some fucking bible banger denominations catching fallen catholics and protestants have grown in popularity. Fucking alleluia!

It would be better if these people actually followed what they believe.

I've been to different churches and these people are being told lies.
They don't read and study their own book. So, they don't know.

Listen to William Cooper he will tell you things you wouldn't have thought about.
People need to study and learn things. Not just sit and listen.

The problem with the churches today is they have adapted paganism into their faith.
Also, they have modernized their faith. They are pickers and choosers.

They are being led by wolves and deceivers in sheep's clothing.

The whole christian religion is based on pagan ideas :dunno: The Bible is basically 100% plagiarized and its all taken from aspects of the ancient egyptians, ancient greeks and many other ancient religious idols that in todays world could be called "paganism".

I can see it now - Porn Fundamentalists....

The problem with the churches today

...is that there are still churches today.

 

[jackblack81]

some of you have a terrible concept of church. There are more doing good than there are doing bad. The bad ones stick out more, but it is that way with everything in life.

...is that there are still churches today.

and there always will be. People will always need some kind of religion, it gives them hope for the life they life on earth and the life after they die. Religion gives people hope that there is something after you die this is the main reason people believe in god. Face it how many people would still be religious if they knew that when they die there wont be anything else. Why do people find god when they going to die or face a near dead experience.

Its fear and not able to understand everything in life that makes people believe in a higher power. We should always keep the religion going doesn't matter what kind of religion.

With respect, tell that to the 6 million Jews that the Nazi's killed, tell that to those dieing in Gaza because of religion, tell that to the hundreds of thousands of children over the centuries molested by religious people they trusted and on and on...

All so some people can feel better about life after death?

Maybe that's worth it in your book. Fair enough.

But not in mine. Not even close.

It's always good to see churches destroyed and religion die, but the rise in porn is not necessarily an entirely positive thing. Believe me I love porn, but at the same time I realize the commodification of sex, and the degeneracy of culture go hand in hand. The new religion, which to me is consumer capitalism and globalization, have taken the place of the old forms of mind control, and given way to this new culture and new society based upon absolute despondency and fragmentation. Sure, we may be getting together and slamming our genitals against one another, but to me it is sad in many ways, and really this is probably not the time nor the place to discuss it.

Well, it's not always fear. But, the need to believe there is more to life. Which there should be.

With respect, tell that to the 6 million Jews that the Nazi's killed, tell that to those dieing in Gaza because of religion, tell that to the hundreds of thousands of children over the centuries molested by religious people they trusted and on and on...

The people that acted like they were people of faith and did those things are the problem. Faith itself can't be blamed, because of the liars who "followed" their professed faith.

Not really, society takes its morals from religion.

but the rise in porn is not necessarily an entirely positive thing. Believe me I love porn, but at the same time I realize the commodification of sex, and the degeneracy of culture go hand in hand. the place to discuss it.

It does cause the break down of societies if it infiltrates the mainstream of the society. That's why religion has played a part in keeping things in order. Everything in its place and everything in moderation.

this is going to be an epic thread.

Lust is sincere, natural and unaffected.

Repression and denial of your desires are false, fake and hypocrite. Church impose false and stupid understanding of lust as a sin, so fuck it.
Church is full bullshit, lie and flam. All they want is just to control your mind, and to have some power.

Porn forever. Fuck sanctimony!

Unfettered lust, though, results in the likes of Ted Bundy and others. Some people need the constraints of religion to live productive lives. If they need a divinity, let them have it- so long as they don't try to shove their ethics down our throats.

Yes it can and I do.

True. And that's a problem. Read the Bible. It's full of all kind of nonsense.
For example, it says it's okay to beat your slave so long as you don't seriously injure them.
And TONNES more crap like that.


If someone wants to believe in a god or a sun or a Toyota that's fine with me.
But the minute they start expecting others to believe and act as their Toyota God tells them to, then that's not fine with me. Not fine at all.

(I believe in the Corvette ZO6 God myself )

I don't know about you but prayer has accomplished quite a lot in my life.

I do not like when church pretend to have monopoly right for common sense. I mean that some rational ideas do not belong to church exclusively. Common sense is the weal of the whole people, atheists included!

I can see borderline between madness and lust without help of any preacher. And since I do not think that I am much more smart than all the rest people in the world, I suppose they can see this borderline too.

And sex fiends are usually those, who were too much restricted and had to hide and suppress their natural desires, rather than those, who used to fuck everyday in all the possible positions and take sinful cum baths with hotties :1orglaugh

Of course, if someone needs a church - they can have it. But as you say, they want too much to "to shove their ethics down our throats" - and this is extremely annoying. It is exactly what makes me change my position from "I do not give a fuck about them" to "I do not like them"!

In the U.S. Christianity has tethered itself to the Repubs and this will be its ultimate demise. Fiscal conservatism and social conservatism can't actually co-exist.

I do see the growth in "spirituality" in the U.S. because this present economic collapse will make people reassess their lives. Is it "worth it" to just live to buy things? Isn't there supposed to be more to life and existence on THIS PLANE? If there really is nothing "on the other side" than shouldn't we enjoy life more?

I get the feeling that Protestantism/Catholicism/Islam were constructs created by monarchs to control their subjects for warmongering and empire expansion purposes....or in the case of Islam, for defensive purposes.

 

[Will E Worm]

Yes it can and I do.

Then that's ignorant. It's like blaming all whites for slavery, when not all whites were alive at the time.
Why aren't all Germans blamed for the rise of Hitler?

You can't use a blanket statement or blame on an entire culture or problem because of a minority that do harm.

True. And that's a problem. Read the Bible. It's full of all kind of nonsense.
For example, it says it's okay to beat your slave so long as you don't seriously injure them.
And TONNES more crap like that.

That was in ancient Middle Eastern and Roman times, when slavery was allowed.
Also, that is probably from the Torah.
I'm not sure why the Torah, the Tanakh, and the New Testament were all put in one book and called by one name.

I don't know about you but prayer has accomplished quite a lot in my life.

It's not a bad thing to do.

In the U.S. Christianity has tethered itself to the Repubs and this will be its ultimate demise.

You have that backwards. The Republicans have used Christianity for votes. The Modern day Christians are easily led by the wolves who deceive them.
Do some research on the Presidents and you will see they are really Gnostics, Freemasons.
Gnosticism is what the "G" stands for in Freemasonry. It's the Luciferian Philosophy.

Is anyone opposed to removing the tax-free status for churches? Should churches pay property taxes?
