The cornerstone of Christianity is human sacrifice. Is Christianity a moral creed?

    The word GAY stands for confusion. What word long meant happy? If homosexuals are anything, they are in general more miserable. Oh I know of the homosexuals that were in my family. There may still be one living. The rest died.

    What vile stripe? Discussing openly and honestly over a serious problem?

    How fast Democrats are to lash out at their own country. So why did you evade the question as to Muslim nations tossing homosexuals off the tops of buildings? Are you aware that in some cases they were shredded in tree shredding machines?

    Why did you fall for them saying GAY? I grew up in the greatest generation and even the politicians never said that word for homosexuality. Then GAY meant happy.

    Indeed, thanks to religious persecution denigration and discrimination without a just cause.

    Do you agree?

    Closest I got to Orlando was on 95 by Cape Canaveral. A nice visit to the Cape was very rewarding.

    Give us death rates for homosexuals in Orlando please.

    Oh hell no. I can't think of them being persecuted by some religion. Look, maybe to you pecker puffers are noble. I had one as a brother. I know a lot more than most know about this.

    I still do not know if you are a homophobe or not till you let me know.

    A topic I have never at any point seen discussed at my church is your apparently favorite topic. Christian bashing or homosexuality. We do not see homosexuality as normal nor do we see Polio as normal. But we do not make a practice of trying to run down humans who are homosexuals. They must come in the open to discuss it. But as a rule we do not bring this up. My own brother died as a homosexual and as a church member too. I never saw any member of the church tear into him due to him being a homosexual.

    Homophobes have a strange fear of homosexuals. I lack fear of them.

    Now that you identified as Canadian, clearly you speak about your country and not my country.

    Noble. No more than you or I.

    Good to know that you have let your homophobia put you even against your own.

    Your Republican friends did the same thing of putting affiliations above their moral sense when they publicly held their noses when voting for Trump ********.

    Omar Mateen remains a hero to many on the far right who hate gays.

    Josef Stalin whose Bolshevik party was financed by Republican Wall Street was a practicing Christian until death and was a given a Christian burial.

    You failed to give your opinion of Islam. Why do Christianity bashers, give barbaric and bloody Islam, a total pass?

    Islam was not at issue, but here is what is almost my signature.

    Both Christianity and Islam, slave holding ideologies, have basically developed into intolerant, homophobic and misogynous religions. Both religions have grown themselves by the sword instead of good deeds and continue with their immoral ways in spite of secular law showing them the moral ways.

    Jesus said we would know his people by their works and deeds. That means Jesus would not recognize Christians and Muslims as his people, and neither do I. Jesus would call Christianity and Islam abominations.

    Gnostic Christians did in the past, and I am proudly continuing that tradition and honest irrefutable evaluation based on morality.

    https://topdocumentaryfilms.com/theft-values/



    Humanity centered religions, good? Yes. Esoteric ecumenist Gnostic Christianity being the best of these.

    Supernaturally based religions, evil? Yes. Islam and Christianity being the worst of these.

    That is one theory, or hypothesis among many, without the evidence to actually support it. But this Paul character, IMO, has always been suspect, given he was the self appointed apostle(if you believe that Christ had chosen apostles, chosen my himself).

    The RCC used the idea of apostalic succession to justify God's representative on earth, given it is believed that Peter was the first so called Pope.

    For me, and employing Occam's Razor, I think that JC did exist, and actually did have a teaching that contradicted some of the accepted teaching and theology of Judaism, via their priests and other officials. I also do not think that Buddha left any written down teachings, but were created by those who knew of him, perhaps even listened to him, later on, after his death. Since the same thing happened with christ, it seems that the founders of both belief systems, didn't see the importance of personally putting down their teachings, and we must then trust those who came after to be accurate in giving us those teachings. Thing is, I cannot trust a human being to be accurate and non biased, as a product of their own era and conditioning. Afterall, look at all of the documents that the early church would not accept and tried to even destroy them, because they were deemed heretical. Just as many of the teachings of JC were seen as heretical by the religious authority of his time.

    IYO, if christ did not exist, what was the motivating factor in creating him, a creation by Jews?

    There is speculation by some that a Roman created the Jesus character as a way to dilute Judaism after the rebellion in the First Century. We know that Hadrian created a religion with his boyfriend as the deity and had temples built to worship him. So it is feasible that the Romans did create the Jesus character = https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/4w7y8w/jesus-was-a-roman-hoax-to-trick-the-jews

    You may find this guy's theory a little too far fetched = http://econintersect.com/pages/contributors/contributor.php?post=201702220009

    You won't hear any Protestant say that, either. Christianity (according to Protestants) doesn't have any earthly center.
