Cutting ties with that sort of behaviour is a pretty reasonable move for advertisers. Yet you show obvious prejudice to Atheists. Most atheists only criticize religions that are constantly infringing other people's (sometimes their own) rights, when they infringe on their rights. They'll complain about pro-lifers when women can't get abortions. Or at least they used to, now SJWs are the fad and most of those channels will just come out and admit they beat that dead horse for views. Can't remember the last time I heard an Atheist "hate" on Buddhism. No one is hating anyone because they belong to a religion, but again you seem very hostile to atheists which is hypocritical Theres nothing wrong with someone using logic and proof to point out bullshit, whether its with Religion or SJWs --- twylite sprinkle http://tinyurl.com/jeqyas3 <cite>deoxxys posted [p:876556200] in Youtube ha...

Zero_Maniac 04/04/17 10:40:46 PM #58:	Howlitzer posted... I can agree with that. Atheism is also a freedom that should be afforded to all people in the same way as religion. And in the same way you should learn to know your place, which is not to say that you're required to accept injustice (since religion has a tendency to be a front for all kinds of bullshit) but waging pointless and counterproductive battles doesn't help anyone. Nu wave atheism is my biggest annoyance besides third wave feminism and to a lesser extent the Catholic Church. What does the Catholic Church even do these days to be annoying? Pope Francis these days says stuff almost blatantly contrary to the Christian faith (claiming that Christians and Muslims worship the same God, for example), which should be more annoying to Catholic Christians than any other faction. Catholicism has really just gotten attacked and crapped on by liberals, atheists, and SJWs/feminists for decades at this point. It's not like the Pope has announced another crusade (although honestly, he really should call a crusade on ISIS). Anyways, as a Catholic myself, this news upsets me. I don't want atheism banned or censored from the media. I think it's healthy for the Church to have theological opponents, because otherwise we would get even more complacent than we have. --- "Remember kid, there's heroes and there's legends.

If they don't want to repent, that means you pray for them or passively encourage them to do so. Unfortunately, we have a lot of close-minded people who only know how to ridicule rather than encourage. Of course, some of the blame is on the LGBT community for encouraging LGBT "Catholics" to be obstinate in their sin, and that's probably why Catholics react so poorly to homosexuality and get labeled as homophobes. --- "Remember kid, there's heroes and there's legends.

For all he's built up to be this reformer, what he says is basically empty and contradictory enough not to get him in too much trouble with the right and it never translates into action that would get the Church to stop promoting harmful and dangerous practices in developing countries. This is really the heart of my gripe. There's no weight to all of these statements and it ends up falling into the territory of lukewarm Christianity which is not only the laziest kind but the worst ideologically speaking. Since most people seem to have trouble parsing Protestants from Catholics, at least in the crazyland of social media and buzzwords it ends up taking everyone along for the ride. The happy-go-lucky everyone's a sinner and that's okay hippieisms need to be tempered with the same amount of cold reality. Francis in particular likes to talk like he's in the cool kids' club and drags his feet when it comes to serious business, coming off as two-sided and shady which means nobody actually trusts him. The last thing the Church should do is conform to what the left wants but church reform (internally) is a constant and ongoing process. The progress of the last millennium might as well be called surface cleaning.

For all he's built up to be this reformer, what he says is basically empty and contradictory enough not to get him in too much trouble with the right and it never translates into action that would get the Church to stop promoting harmful and dangerous practices in developing countries. This is really the heart of my gripe. There's no weight to all of these statements and it ends up falling into the territory of lukewarm Christianity which is not only the laziest kind but the worst ideologically speaking. Since most people seem to have trouble parsing Protestants from Catholics, at least in the crazyland of social media and buzzwords it ends up taking everyone along for the ride. The happy-go-lucky everyone's a sinner and that's okay hippieisms need to be tempered with the same amount of cold reality. Francis in particular likes to talk like he's in the cool kids' club and drags his feet when it comes to serious business, coming off as two-sided and shady which means nobody actually trusts him. The last thing the Church should do is conform to what the left wants but church reform (internally) is a constant and ongoing process. The progress of the last millennium might as well be called surface cleaning. One of the biggest problems is the thought that the Church is at war or in conflict with strict liberals/Islam/etc. when it's all just a bunch of distracting skirmishes. The whole LGBT mess is one of those. What do you mean by the bolded? If you mean the Church constantly changes what is and isn't sin, that's not quite accurate. If you mean that the Church is slowly learning how to deal with LGBT "Catholics" (I put Catholics in quotes because people who are obstinately LGBT are not real Catholics/Christians just how people who are obstinate in any other type of sin are not real Catholics/Christians), then yes, it's reforming. --- "Remember kid, there's heroes and there's legends.

But if you are an atheist you are likely not going to be seeing that discrimination as much since... you obviously wouldn't be the target of it I spent half my life as a religious person, but that's not actually relevant. Fact of the matter is no one here can come up with an example and that's pretty condemning. And what makes Buddhism so great, is even if you don't believe in it, there's nothing on the line. There's no ridiculous standards or blackmail and you're just judged by how good of a person you are. Christianity on the other hand is basically a threat, Jesus was pretty alright, but with Jesus we're spoon-fed old testament God and hell. Maybe Buddhism isn't great either and I just have no exposure to it. <cite>jamieyello3 posted [p:876568054] in Youtube ha...
