RE: Christianity is a Death Cult
The effort made in trying to change the unchangeable is a useless exercise. The cancer of humanity's indulgence will eat this Earth regardless.
Christians aside.
Who cares about our future?
Who is really in control here?
Are you in control of your life?
Lately I'm forced to consider no one is in control. And those that 'are', only have the perception of being in control in an unending undulating cycle.
God has set the plotline, but it is up to each of us to fill our role accordingly. every one has a choice, so yes you are in control of your life (not in the macro, but in the every day personal.)
you're right that man is the problem and the bible itself says things will only get worse and worse as man cannot rule without suffering and problems.
'God' maybe, but God as a cosmic force in an inevitable maze of physics.
Not God as a personality or a bearded creature on a throne in the sky or in another dimension. No, like Santa Claus and the tooth fairy this is what we teach children.
Consciousness is built from symbols, every belief system has a map.

no, God is a person - no beard afaik though, but definitely a Father who talks and writes to His children, and not some mystical impersonal cosmic force that doesn't want much to do with us.
family, eh?
God is a person to your belief system.
The problem here is that you have a need to impose your particular belief.
If you can accept what I have already said, then we have already started to stop the wars begun by christians.
and the war by muslims, buddhists & atheist-materialists?
i have not imposed my belief system on anything. i have read the bible for myself. it speaks truth, everything else i was told is a lie.
do people lie in your experience? have the rulers lied to you at all ever?
No, you cannot change another's beliefs. You can start with the damage the conditioning you have been raised with has caused. Christian crusades throughout the years have drawn an ocean's worth of blood. Today's version is no different.
The choice to stop wars fueled by Christian 'rightness' starts with you.
When you move to change by accepting others' belief systems, and recognize beliefs as beliefs and not reality - you pave a path for others to do the same.
If you allow flexibility, you get to keep what you have, or, risk losing everything for everyone.
Those are the stakes.
You decide.
Do your beliefs and your 'right' to have them supercede another's right to live?
you made a huge assumption at the start - i was not raised christian, nor any other religion.
i kind of implied that early on, though maybe you missed it.
also, you seem to make no distinction between Jesus Christ the man and saviour, and the church, which you have rightly said has not acted on behalf of God or Jesus since the first century.
wow, corruption by men of pure ideals eh, who'd have thought?
well, Jesus - talked about it in the new testament on many occasions, as did His disciples.
i'm just guessing,. you've never actually read/ studied the bible for yourself have you?
so everything you believe is from what others have told you, and how the churches have horrible represented Christ?
i was the same as you until a few short years ago, but then i read it for myself.
my faith is of no concern to anyone else at all. you have a very distorted view of Jesus-ism i'm afraid, but i imagine you prefer to go on hating and not knowing, rather than finding out the truth?
I apologize for making assumptions on your part. I was speaking to the greater audience more than just to you individually.
Actually I was raised as a christian. I understand the bible very well. I even memorized the entire book of James when I was 16.
I was to go door to door selling literature as a colporteur.
I left the church when I realised I could not live up to the many expectations put on me by the church.
Yes, our relationship with Jesus is personal. And I don't see Jesus as a person or a personage but a symbol in consciousness necessary to keep the wheels turning. There is no actual proof of his existence.
Greater lies have been told and maintained for the purposes of population control by the power holders.
I am still an avid discoverer and student of reality - Here's an article I just wrote, possibly inspired by our discussion here - https://steemit.com/lifepolitics/@montycashmusic/reflections-a-kingdom-divided-against-itself-will-fall
