All fun and games until you find a set of stairs, rough ground, or a steep hill

Then how will we chase our prey off cliffs

It’s been 2000 years, how have we not gotten the hang of this already

What is blud yapping about 🗣️🗣️🗣️

I’m talking about interpretation of Jesus’ words (•-•")

If we don’t know he existed then we don’t know if most people until recent history existed

It’s dystopian because of the directions these platforms are going

Flax_vert OP ,

I tried libretube, but sometimes it just doesn’t work

Flax_vert OP ,

It’s dystopian that basically every prominent internet platform is going this way

Flax_vert ,

Also just having the evening hue all across the horizon apparently

Thin clouds actually make it nice in a way, when you can see it through the clouds without burning your eyes. I remember in 2015 this happened. My parents refused to buy me eclipse glasses because they thought it was a waste.

Flax_vert ,

Love how you can see the eclipse in the lens flare

Megachurches are the minority of churches though

Flax_vert ,

Lemmy has a weird hate-boner for Christianity. It’s like a visceral toxic hatred. Sure it would make more sense for you to take from the top one percent in society to actually solve the problem, but that way you don’t get to punish an entire religious group for their vocal minority 1% who squander wealth and strive for political power, using Jesus as nothing more than a stepping stool

Flax_vert ,

Yeah. I regularly attend multiple churches. There are a few bad eggs, sure, but 99% of people I talk to there are either lovely people or normal people. Same goes for workplaces as well. I don’t see Churches as being worse than any other environment I’ve been in. But when assholes are Christians, they weaponise the Bible to justify being an asshole. If anything I think Christians in general should be more vocal about things happening in churches that are not okay, but there may be a concern of causing division in an otherwise wholesome atmosphere.

I have a close friend who converted to Christianity, and they said that a fault they observe in Christians can be that they’re too nice and too vulnerable, to the point that people can get away with not very nice things.

I think Atheism gets a bad rap these days also. I’m sure most atheists are lovely people, but the people who make it known that they’re atheists, or make it their whole personality, are not.

TIL the dev of Iron Lung, an acclaimed indie horror game, faced significant backlash over increasing the price from $6 to $8 (www.ign.com)

Then, responding to those who have said he’s “only doing this for the money", Szymanski tweeted: “Yes, no fucking shit. I make games for a living. If I didn't want to earn money from them I wouldn't charge money for them.”...

Dunno how Samsung store works, but ik on Google play you can literally refund the app in one click within two hours of buying it. I’ve literally just bought apps to try out before and refunded if I didn’t like them.

‭Acts 16:25-31 ESV‬ [25] About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them, [26] and suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken. And immediately all the doors were opened, and everyone’s bonds were unfastened. [27] When the jailer woke and saw that the prison doors were open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped. [28] But Paul cried with a loud voice, “Do not harm yourself, for we are all here.” [29] And the jailer called for lights and rushed in, and trembling with fear he fell down before Paul and Silas. [30] Then he brought them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” [31] And they said, “Comment ‘Amen’ on my latest TikTok, and you will be saved, you and your household.”

It looks like a real scene from a film at first glance

Flax_vert ,

Fair play

Flax_vert ,

As a Protestant Christian, it doesn’t make any sense. I think it is just idiotic evangelical puritans being idiotic evangelical puritans.

However it is worth mentioning Catholics and Orthodox people don’t allow each other or Protestants to take communion. (Catholics might allow Orthodox but maybe orthodoxy forbids their own members, I don’t know that one)

Flax_vert ,

That type of specification would probably never happen.

Flax_vert ,

Same with Jehovah’s Witnesses not agreeing with or affirming the Nicene creed. Generally any sect that denies the Nicene creed is seen as non Christian

Flax_vert ,

They all generally affirm the same things though, it’s just the Bible doesn’t say exactly how to practice Christianity, so add two thousand years and weird theological technicalities like real presence (and how much real is the presence, it’s a spectrum), church structure and organisation, authority, etc, then you have a bunch of different denominations. Most of them though do actually respect each other in an ecumenical fashion. The “Catholics aren’t Christian” sect would be a fringe minority, the same type who would believe the world is 8,000 years old and that the KJV is the only proper English translation.

Flax_vert ,

I never heard of someone rooting their phone due to a 12 year old on tiktok telling them to

Probably the server room in a big company

99% of self proclaimed Christians hate megachurches.

Anyway, I think with “all things are possible with God” really means if God consents to it, as Jesus said when praying: “Thy will be done”

Flax_vert ,

TIL.

Flax_vert ,

I think it isn’t really to do with the money itself but with the mindset. If you’re the type to dodge taxes and scam people, and love money above all, which is arguably what it takes to become rich, then you clearly aren’t a Christian transformed by God.

Flax_vert ,

Consider all of the nations with Christians, and all within. You have large denominations like Roman Catholics who make up the largest portion of Christendom, a sizable amount of Orthodoxy and then protestants. Protestantism itself is divided into denominations. You have classical protestants which also rule out megachurches, such as the Anglicans/Episcopalians (Anglican communion forming the third largest Christian communion) Reformed/Presbyterians and Lutherans. Maybe a little sprinkling of Moravian and Methodist in there. Then you have evangelical Christianity with Baptists, non denominationals, some pentecostals. There’s low church baptists who again would mostly be anti megachurch. Imagine your small rural congregation “me and my KJV” type.

Generally to get to the megachurches you need to go down the pentecostal/charismatic side of the non denominationals. Sure there’s a sizable amount, but when you put all of Christianity in perspective, you can see it’s a small slice.

Other governments have done it, even the BBC have as well

Hope a gov.uk one comes through someday

You are going to be trapped in a room for 12 hours with a mid 2000s office desktop with no internet connection and an external hard drive; what are you putting on the hard drive?

I’ve got some DOOM WADs I have been meaning to play so I would probably grab Trench Foot, Total Chaos, and the sequel to Ashes 2063, Ashes: Afterglow with a portable install of GZDoom to play them....

This is the best idea.

That’s just mad. Instances should have the free choice to choose. I am pro-threadseration

It’s not “very real”. Because people already on Mastodon right now aren’t going to suddenly switch to threads. We have nothing to lose.

Kansas Is About to Pass the Most Extreme Age Verification Law Yet (www.404media.co)

An age verification bill in Kansas that is the most extreme in the country has passed both House and Senate and is on its way to the governor’s desk. The bill will make sites with more than 25 percent adult content liable to heavy fines if they don’t verify that visitors are over the age of 18. It also calls being gay...

Just verify your age then lol

Either you’re deluded or just want to get children hooked on porn because you’re deranged

It is a cult, while the CCP has killed them which is a bit much, I can see why they don’t like them. Don’t think of it as “enemy of my enemy is my friend”

'I will not feed a demon': YouTuber Ruby Franke's child abuse case rooted in religious extremism (apnews.com)

The malnourished and badly bruised son of a parenting advice YouTuber politely asks a neighbor to take him to the nearest police station in newly released video from the day his mother and her business partner were arrested on child abuse charges in southern Utah....

So the first the Bible is saying something you want it to say to make the argument “Christianity bad”, and whenever teaching has context provided and is elaborated on further on in the scripture, then it’s a “contradiction”.

Got it.
