There can never be enough.
Iām still trying to figure out why dying a horrible death on a cross is some admirable thing. Dying for the sins of strangers? Fuck 'em! They made their choices. Why let 'em off the hook?
Unselfishness, especially for random evil strangers, is wrong. It is especially NOT moral.

I hope you are using sarcasm, and you are wrong about the strangers thing.

Yes, but chimps are simple creatures. 97% of our DNA is the same as chimps.

Concur on the latter.
Eh its fine Tirib I was going to make a thread about the Church anyways I just didnāt know how I would present it, and I liked your posts about how the spiritually dead cannot understand the things of God unless God himself spiritually revives and reveals it to that person *(in my experience), its better than some of the off topic post here in this thread.
*Edited Ill just make a thread about the church.
Some Misconceptions about Christianity (Catholicism):
That we worship the Saints on the Level as the Trinity.
That we believe that we are saved by only our works.
We do not believe/worship the Trinity. (I like this one the best)
Peterās Cross is the symbol of the Devil, and Catholics are Devil Worshipers.
The Virgin Mary is our Goddess.
There is a bunch, but I just got done working 8 hours in the summer sun and Iām tired.

This is a ludicrous idea the age of real scientific discovery had not occurred at the time the bible was written.

Iāve also heard people say Catholics arenāt Christian which I always though was funny. Itās like they donāt even know what the definition of a Christian is.

How is faith not blind? Where is your evidence?
