RE: One photo every day: At work, gluing samples. (46/365)
I will look at this differently since we are on steemit. The 3 drops of glue: 1st drop=your post, 2nd drop=comments, 3rd drop=reply(ies). As for your boy that wants to quit religion, i guess he has been disappointed in some practises of religion.
Nice analogy with the glue. :)
Yea I guess he is. There was one incident when we were fetching Miro from the daycare. A man on a bike stopped at the gates of the playground and started telling the kids to accept Jesus or burn in the flames of Hell. They used to often ask me what he meant by saying that.
It kind of made them both question religion.
The Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland (ELCF) represents Christianity Lite. It is very liberal. It has had women as ministers for a couple of decades and performing wedding ceremonies for homosexuals is on the table. If you are a liberal secularist but do not believe that religion is going away anytime soon, you should hope for the ELCF to dominate the market for Christianity.
really? I thought Christianity is against homosexuals?
It depends a lot on the denomination or sect. Some are really liberal whereas some are highly conservative. They all pick and choose which parts of the Bible they take seriously and which parts they turn a blind eye to. Also, some parts of the Bible were not even meant to be taken literally. Some of the literal stuff will be taken figuratively anyhow and vice versa. When you have a large religious text that is inconsistent to begin with used by two billion nominal subscribers most of whom are less than perfectly intellectually honest, you'll get a huge array of different kinds of belief systems.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, it's quite detailed.
Thanks for the smile with the analogy.
I think its bad to implant such ideas of burning in hell to kids. Preaching religion should not be like forcing people to ones belief. The man would have thought he did the right thing from his thought, but the recipients of his message found that uncomfortable. Now, you have to diffuse their mind of such seeds.
