RE: Is there a scientific basis for Jesus Christ?

in #religion8 years ago

I wholeheartedly agree with your post and have thought about posting about some of the things christians believe/disbelieve. I think steemit is one of the few places that religion and other polarizing debates can be held without hatred. It's not up to you to force someone into believing anything, but to simply lay out what you believe and why and others are free to accept or refute this. Along with all religions, a select few can ruin the whole name for everyone. A group like the westboro baptist church that preaches hate towards soldiers and homosexuals does not practice the Love that Jesus preached about. Just because you may not agree on those issues doesn't mean you can't respect those with opposing beliefs. The same can be said of Isis or other Muslim affiliated groups shaming the many positive friendly Muslims throughout the US and world. The most controversial groups receive the most attention from the media and that is how people tend to perceive the stated group as a whole. Thank you for bringing this up in a place where everyone has the chance to make meaningful comments and those who post hate or are disrespectful can be silenced by the community as a whole.

That's what it was like last time... lets see how it goes this time around... not much downvoting was required because the importance of reputation led to restraint and demonstrations of respect even where strong feelings were involved. I hope things haven't changed too much...
