@jeffowski @niavy @goinfawr let's get this out of the way: good Christians don't exist. Different types of Christians? Absolutely. I never claimed to be good. I'm full of flaws. Do I visit the same temples? Evidently. Do I follow everything they say (leadership or otherwise)? Nope. I'm considered a revel among my congregation, because if I disagree with something, I just won't do it, period. Again man, I've nothing against you, and all you have against me is that I'm a christian.

@jeffowski @niavy how is this different to how racists and homophobis behave?

@jeffowski @niavy I'm honestly curious. @niavy and I have not once insulted you, or anyone else for that matter. We've expressed our opinions and beliefs in a very respectful, and even somewhat comical manner. Think about it, other than bias, what possible reason could you really have to vex any of us? Your bad experience with other people that belong to one religion or another? I've nothing against you, really, and you have no reason to have anything against us, since you don't know us.

@niavy @jeffowski dude, can't you see that's exactly what he wants, to get to you so that you reply in a way that he can point his finger at you? Dont give him the satisfaction. We know who we are, we know who we serve, and more importantly, our God knows. I mean, really, how does that affect us? For anything to damage us, even if from someone who chooses to not believe in God, God still needs to give his permission or it doesn't happen.

@jeffowski correcto compadre.

@niavy @jeffowski here's the situation. The Old Testament does prohibit these (every single one of them).
Now, the new testament does not forbid eating whatever (except blood), or selling land. It does look down on charging interest. This is why I fully agree with @jeffowski . The new testament, which is what Christians are supposed to follow, instructs us to LOVE EVERYONE the same. But TOO many so-called Christians display hate and intolerance towards many segregated groups. See the problem?

@niavy @jeffowski agreed. Now, where does it say to hate them or be intolerant towards them? The same new testament says to LOVE everyone, to live in peace with everyone:

1 John 4:7 Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.

Hebrews 12:14 Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.

There is NO JUSTIFICATION to not love everyone or to be intolerant.

@niavy @jeffowski i commend you. It blows my mind how so many people call themselves Christians but choose to follow the opposite route and vex others.
I believe it has a lot to do with pride coming from a false sense of self worth, which makes them think they're better than others because they sit in a temple on Sunday for an hour or so.
Two faced is what they are. Worshiping God inside the temple, and attacking His creation outside.

@jeffowski you're awesome. I'll certainly tag you moving forward. More people should follow your example, including myself. Thank you.

@jeffowski @TruthSandwich@fedi.truth-sandwich.com @mwadmin you must he right. Otherwise, why would this individual have no posts, 10 followers and is following (stalking?) 44 people?

Something must be VERY wrong with that.
