Eastern Orthodox-Communion with Patriarch of Constantinople
Protestant-They don’t count because they’re just reformists.
I just wanted to state the wonderful times of the Inquisition which was the torturing, burnings, wheel breakings, stonings, pressings, and the hangings of the non-believers or the Heretics; or the wartimes of the Crusades.
We humans have the illusion that God is a forgiving and open minded being, but really that is just trying to make everyone comfortable. But in real life, God is a cruel, twisted minded animal. Look at all the things God let happen. The holocaust, wars, extinction of animals, disasters, etc. Why would he do this kind of thing?
I don’t think god’s real even if he/she does exist he/she has the most sadistic and evil personality a god can have (no offense to christinas or muslims or jews)
I mean wat kind of god allows his/her ppl to suffer and die in such awful ways, and i’m not talking about war, i’m talking about darfur and related stuff
humans brought and continue to bring suffering upon theirselves.
what can God do that he hasnt already done? he has given us instruction on how to live life. he has promised resurrection after death. what more do u want?
do u want him to stop us everytime we are about to committ murder? do u want him to change the direction of hurricanes, typhons, tornados, when they are heading towards us?
how can we learn if he does those things? God is not responsible for everything that happens to us. he gave us intelligence for a reason, to use it.

I bet what some people don’t realize tho is something simple.
Christmas.
They think it’s just a day to get gifts and worship Santa.
where as your SUPPOSED to celebrate the birth of Christ.
Yule/Christmas. They think it’s a day to celebrate the birth of Christ. Whereas you’re SUPPOSED to celebrate a returning of the light.
(Trying to be humorous here..but please note that Yule predated “Christmas” ).
Point is - I’m perfectly content to allow others to celebrate a holiday according to their religion, cultural customs, or any other manner of their choosing. In addition, I would never tell someone how they “ought” to celebrate a holiday or for what reasons they ought to celebrate it. I ask to be allowed to do the same for my part .
