A Utah lawmaker is no longer pushing for public schools to display a copy of the Ten Commandments but wants to add other biblical precepts and the Magna Carta to the curriculum.
I know you don’t care but Jesus is a facet of God, a triune entity. I could go on but it really isn’t worth it to waste effort arguing theistic concepts with atheists. Might as well try and get dry aging tips from a vegan.
But yeah, graven images is still right out.
And Jesus was certainly not a white man.
You are right. I don’t care about some comic book without pictures that’s 2000 years old.
How sad for you, it’s got some pretty good stories.
Oh, I’ve read them. Some Jesus parables are good. Comparable to some advice Gandalf has given to the hobbits.
Which isn’t surprising considering Tolkien was a devout Christian.
Making both Christian stories and Tolkien words good works for fiction. Cool!
Cute little edgelad, got any more memes today?
Nah. You, sweetheart?
Oh I got shittons of them, been doing this a while.
None for you though, you’re a windowlicker.
Mormon’s explicitly don’t believe this. They believe “God the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost” are separate beings. This is why many don’t believe they are Christians.
They also believe that their leader got divine inspiration from two emerald tablets he bought from a junk dealer.
I’m muslim. Allah (swt) explicitly rejects the trinity, clarifies that He is beyond having a son as He is the creator of everything but confirms the virgin pregnancy of Mary in the Quran. All prophets were messengers who passed the revelation among their people, but they were nothing but humans. Humans who deserve the highest respect, but must not be worshipped or likened to god.
I also listened to an interview with a catholic theology professor before converting (i was agnostic at the time), where he explains how these concepts came hundreds of years after Jesuses (pbh) prophethood and they mostly came for making christianity easier to approach to pagans.
It is also not my intend to mock christians as a whole, but those who clearly abuse the message of Jesus and agressively push their religion while understanding little of it.
I am sorry you got downvoted. i am also not a fan of the know-it-all “checkmate” atheists on platforms like reddit or lemmy and wasnt before converting.
Says the know-it-all convert.
I’m not telling anyone to believe or not believe anything. I just wanted to point out the hypocricsy in those that want to plaster biblical verses over public schools.
Nah, you pointed to everyone that worships jesus and the ten commandments. Don’t act like you are not hypocritical for criticizing another religion but not your own.
I’m sorry, that i worded it poorly then. I only meant to critise those that demand the ten commandments or any other biblical text to be plastered over public schools.
Only biblical text?
Was there any other texts demanded to be put up by the Utah House?
You’re the one bringing up another religion.
