Why are Christians so incredibly gullible?

Christianity and religion in general is a symptom of gullibility, not the syndrome. Christianity in particular because it requires the mark to accept guilt as a prerequisite for admission.

 

Why are Christians so incredibly gullible ? the wrong question .

Why non-believers think themselves so clever ? This is the right one : )))

 

LOL

Right.
You see "the light."

Parents are guilty of being sexually irresponsible even AFTER a teenage life style which included abortions, pre-marital sex, divorces, illegitimate babies, and welfare dependency, etc.

Their kids KNOW the parents are/have been a bad example, and so have all the neighbors, too.
The culture is evil and encourages every sexual deviation and rule breaking for teens.

Saved only by Jesus, the evil behavior of the parents of teens about to fight their sexual impulses are asked to dismiss the poor example.
They are raised to do the right thing, in spite of the bad example of their Mom and/or Dad.

Too bad that is the case.
In a better world, the Mom and Dad would have sins less sexually prominent, and be able to focus on their failures in charity, etc.

 

Then it's not just life. The same might (erroneously) be said of stars and other heavenly bodies forming.

Because they don't let ancient fairy tales shape their understanding of the universe?

That's why, as with so many other religions and other belief systems, it works best to start people young.

 

BUT,... wars are caused by sexually promiscuous nations defending themselves against sexually prudent neighbors which are being "invaded" with the pornography and philosophy of loose sexual morality for women.

We see this today, as America/West even incites the Muslim women to rise up and become Feminists.

 

Here is the real miracle , a book from ancient times still have rules that apply to today , still appeals to today : )))

 

So does the Code of Hammurabi. Not a miracle.

 

Not exactly , supposing in general that need to be asked ; why you dont like the Code of Hammurabi ? Penalties for criminals , why it bothers you ? : )))

 

Because as a modern society we have moved past "an eye for an eye" retribution.

 

Ähm, I have nothing against the Code of Hammurabi per se, and certainly nothing against penalties for people who wrong others in some fashion..

 

Heaven forbid women become liberated from their male masters, eh? We just couldn't let Muslim men lose the title of ownership over teh wimminz. What would become of the world if that happened??

 

We ancient society call it "JUSTICE"

: )))

 

Yup, and it is an archaic notion of justice.

 

This rule will always apply as long as human race continue to live : )))

 

What rule?

 

the rule of retribution

 

Not necessarily. We could transfer over to a restorative or transformation justice system.

 

Yes, it is proof that the Bible writers had a correct insight onto human nature and how people in every generation are always concerned wit the same unanswered questions.

In particular, the matters which pertain to Sexual Mores are very prominent right from the first day of Moses, when the scriptures divide the Hebrew patriarchs from the Gentiles of the rest of the world, all in various stages of cultural whoredoms.
We see the same exact issue now, but the patriarchs are the children of Ishmael, and the once Christian peoples of the West are Feminists and Homosexual advocates of loose sexual mores.

 

Why "ancient?"
The Muslim Patriarchs of today STILL apply swift and appropriate "justice" today, in the same exact way.


Patriarchies maintain firm, clear, specific rules/laws which they enforce without the feminist sensitivity and distaste for force in general.
The patriarchs are more attune with Military Type Justice than the civil society under the influence of bleeding heart mothers who are willing to apoil their kids and defend their bad behavior when they get caught.

 

According to my ancient book , they can apply restorative or transformation justice system in only under one condition , if the victim or relative of the victim want it . They have to ask to damaged side . So if I killed your son , judicial system have to ask you if you want me to die . There are 2 options for you , one of them is want me to killed , other one is forgive me and want to apply restorative-transformation justice system . Noone can interfere with it , just you can decide , not judicial system .

 

You guys need make up your minds, here,...

This thread asks for "Your suggestions as to how we can bring Christians into the real world,... "

But clearly, you are NOT in that world, as you watch Gaza vote 95% for Hamas and maintenance of the same Sharia YOU think those Muslim women do not want.
The young people are revolting against Democracy in Egypt and Libya and now Syria, pushing the Muslim Brotherhood and Sharia into place, right before you nose.
You do not see the truth so can live in the very Reality you insist bible people avoid.


LOL

 

I don't think this ^ applies to what I just said, or you read something into my comment that I didn't imply.

edit: Or maybe you missed the sarcasm?

 

Not sure why you'd think that is the correct question. I've not see anyone think themselves so clever. Yes, there are a few who come off cocky, for lack of a better word, but not clever. And I've seen a good share of christians come off as cocky here as well.

 

...oh,...
sarcasm is difficult to see in this medium, where people actually DO say dumb stuff, and we can only take them at what they post.

sorry....

 

Hardly a miracle. There are many ancient words written that still apply today.
