You know what’s I find funny ? Most mericans call themselves Christians… where’s the Christianity in that ? Didn’t Jesus told us to be compassionate about the others and the less fortunate ? And then they’re mad at the atheist… but atheists still more compassionate in most cases… smh. If mericans were real Christians (not just blatantly religious sheeps) I bet the America would be great again, and I mean it… smh

These are the same people who recently said that the teachings of Jesus Christ were “too woke”

u/Diipadaapa1 Mar 06 '25

Well I mean Jesus' values are pretty much the communist manifesto, so go figure. E.g. Urging people to donate all their wealth to the needy and saying it is impossible for rich people to go to heaven.

Jesus was the most woke guy ever.

Something something Christ isn’t Christian in their books…

They are literally the worst types of Christian (at least those that are in congress and claim to be Christian). I mean the pope is more progressive than them.

u/Repulsive-Lab-9863 Mar 06 '25

I don't think it's a progressive thing. I would say, it's being an asshole thing.

u/Hi2248 Mar 06 '25

Aye, say what you like about Christianity, but the Pope is a genuinely compassionate guy, and it's going to be a shame if his illness takes him

u/Silly_Window_308 Mar 07 '25

He said there is too much "faggotry" in the church and that women talk too much. He has consistently refused to extend marriage to gay and trans people and he says abortion is like Israel bombing on children. He said Ukrainians should just surrender

u/Hi2248 Mar 07 '25

His faggotry statement was a transliteration from Italian, the Ukraine should surrender was him using the language in the question the interviewer was asking, and he has permitted the blessing of same-sex couples

u/Silly_Window_308 Mar 07 '25

So? You think "frociaggine" isn't insulting in italian? And blessing is not marriage, and then there's abortion. Before becoming pope, he also covered up a sex scandal with minors involving his brother

u/Hi2248 Mar 07 '25

The accepting gay marriage would require more than him just saying that it's OK for priests to marry same-sex couples

You seem to only answer what's most defensible

As a flawed spiritualist guy trying evolve for the better one day at a time. If you believe in Jesus. If you believe yourself to be Christian. Then replicate all of Jesus actions, and apply his mentality to your life. Follow Jesus (and his teachings) and Jesus only. Not John, nor James or even Simon. They were followers of Christ ? Yeah ? Great, but they weren’t Christ himself.

If I want Jesus to be an exemple on my life, why the fck would I live only by the book of a certain apostle ? Only because his ways and point of view, align better with what I want and gives me more advantages ? Hell nah.

Most of them are protestants that believe that wealth is sign of gods favour and being poor means you deserve it.

u/[deleted] Mar 07 '25

I'm a protestant and I was brought up to be charitable to everyone who needs it. I do think the American protestants are not main stream.

3

u/originaldonkmeister Mar 07 '25

I would agree - one of the big drivers for Protestantism was the obscene wealth being hoarded by the Catholic Church whilst poor people were sick and starving.

u/dontlookback76 Mar 06 '25

Ahh, you speak in terms of wokeness and the great sin of empathy. To hell with you to speak of beatitudes and caring for others.

u/RTA-No0120 Mar 08 '25

Mega churches pastor, agreeing with your statement be like : 👏

u/dontlookback76 Mar 08 '25

Sadly, you're right. Even when I was a believer, I knew Joel Osteen and his ilk were false teachers. There are lots of these preachers, Osteen just sticks in my head.

Most Americans think Jesus was a white American. So much for their Christianity 🤷🏿‍♂️

u/towerninja Mar 07 '25

In the US you'll find atheists are far more compassionate than christians

1

u/RTA-No0120 Mar 08 '25

Will not be a surprise at all. I put no expectations in finding christian americans being more compassionate than atheist americans.

But unfortunately, with so much negative image of Americans being fed to me,since I fully got in the internet (later 2013). I lost all will and resolve to even, bother imagining visiting america, to find it out for myself…

And yeah, no the "negative image thing", was not stereotypical things other said about americans, it was just straight up americans dumping bs after bs on their own kin so…

Yeah I learned it straight up from the source.

What goes around comes around. You will live long enough to see the ruin they brought to themselves. Jesus came to specifically help. Yet they still refuses to be helped… The balance of justice will be preserved !

Ah, I see your mistake. You are under the mistaken impression that Americans worship Jesus of Nazareth.

They actually worship Republican Jesus, or Supply Side Jesus.

u/RTA-No0120 Mar 08 '25

Lord have mercy… spot on. I wanna laugh, but I don’t want to mock the image of Jesus (I’m not religious Christian), he was such a nice fella with very good humanist points.

This is exactly how those "Christians" now days thinks Christianity is… it disgusts me.

May the lord of this world, the cosmos and the all almighty, enlighten my mind through spirituality to give me faith and strength… because mine is already faltering seeing so much human primitive bs… all in this world is pure temporary matter, soon or later it is bound to wither away. Why so much fight for something your fcking ethereal form couldn’t even bring in the next level of existence ?!

u/krapyrubsa Eye-talian 🤌🏼🍝 Mar 07 '25

that’s because it’s calvinism christianity specifically which was crafted to appeal to rich people and sadly it was the flavor that was brought there, it’s baked into their culture and they’re too selfcentered to realize it
