It could also just be that they are just not comfortable with what the consensus says. If everyone were always OK with there being no official answer, nobody would make them up. But evidently, humans need an overarching perspective on the world to agree with, because we all realize that https://www.canadagoosejacketsaleca.com the as we know them determine how we live and canada goose outlet online reviews think.
Canada Goose sale Flat Earthers often claim that the popular consensus is oppressive and limiting from their perspective. There are similar reasons for why you probably reject the generally “spiritual” consensus that most of humanity assumes into their experience of the world. Canada Goose sale
Finally, there can be said to exist certain world views which provide a more habitable psychic ecosystem for humans to inhabit than others. Many people are rebelling against the scientific materialist paradigm, sometimes in favor of God, because scientific materialism may be, among the many provisional narrative lenses for reality, a very lifeless one which may intrinsically promote the bondage of depression and anxiety, since everything is so determined, and with God, anything is possible.

It kind of funny how many different denominations of Christianity there are given how clear the bible seems to you. I guess everyone else is just reading it wrong /s
buy canada goose jacket cheap I never said that nothing can be objectively defined, just that defining a christian as one who believes in christianity is more Canada Goose Outlet objective than looking for someone who meets YOUR personal ethics checklist. It almost like you arguing against the “everything is relative” bogeyman they talk about in youth group instead of talking to me. buy canada goose jacket cheap
canadian goose jacket I look for objectivity in science, not the endless interpretations of a flawed old book. The results are much better (especially in regards to healing). Example: smallpox canadian goose jacket

The number of churches and denominations don matter. The Church is the total of real Christians on Earth. So, within each denominational church building of canada goose outlet new york city 200 people, there could be 100 people who only believe some of the crazy things the Bible says, 50 who are basically atheist socialites, and 50 who believe the whole book and can see how it affects in their lives.
defining a christian as one who believes in christianity is more objective than looking for someone who meets YOUR personal ethics checklist.
canada goose coats You calling it my ethical checklist, when it right there in the text! It a definitional checklist, and I didn invent it. You can check for yourself. If you read the Bible, and never once try to avert your gaze from the standard it affirms, you will see that there is no room for invalid interpretation. Differences in expression of Christianity are either flaws in the person character or understanding. canada goose coats
But Christianity is a unique religion, because it isn about following rules, or an “ethical checklist.” Love is the whole standard. If you know Love, you know God. If everything you do springs from your Love of God, your Love of Love, your spiritual union with the source of everything, you will be a True disciple of Jesus.
Canada Goose Parka What canada goose outlet buffalo do you think “Believes in Christianity” even means? Most “Christians” are just as pragmatic and skeptical as you are, but less honest. Canada Goose Parka
canada goose coats on sale Science looks for objectivity in subjective experience, just like everyone else. If you stopped looking exclusively to natural philosophy to cure your smallpox, and started getting in touch with your Self, you might catch a glimpse of why most of humanity do and have believed in Spirit for all of human history. canada goose coats on sale

canada goose Jokes on you, I have read the whole bible, multiple times! Turns out not all nonbelievers are ignorant. And I still recognize that the bible is open to interpretation. Your certainty in your specific interpretation is neither unique, nor compelling. It standard narrow canada goose outlet in new york sightedness, canada goose outlet price common in each denomination canada goose
Im sorry to flat disagree, but christianity is neither unique nor particularly loving. If you stick just to quotes of jesus and skip the rest of the bible, you end up with something kinda acceptable, but intellectually dishonest. I am aware that they teach “Christianity is love” from the pulpit, however you need to ignore vasts amounts of the bible to uphold that (instructions on slavery, commands to commit genocide, sexism in the church)
It an interesting position to say that science is subjective, and one I must fundamentally disagree with. Vaccines definitely beat prayer in the fight against smallpox, precisely because science is not relative
Canada Goose canada goose outlet houston Outlet Many people have believed in many gods; funny that they cant agree which one canada goose jacket outlet uk is real. I believe that religion was more prevalent canada goose outlet near me due to greater gaps in human understanding, less accessibility to perspectives from different places, and the oft present threat of violence from various churches for nonbelievers. People of the past were not dumb, nor am I claiming to be a genius. I simply refuse to accept false teachings just because people in the past believed them, though Canada Goose Outlet

canada goose clearance I was born into a very dimly christian family, and was not personally involved in church. I grew up without faith, studied scientific literature, philosophy and every other major religion and occult forms of spirituality. I been all around the spiritual globe, and I deeply recognize the common purposes and values of all religions. That said, I have realized that in Christianity, there is a brilliance and elegance that is outstanding among them all. The Bible, truly, miraculously summarizes everything in Jesus Christ. I don go to church now, and still read other religious texts and find use in them for my greater spiritual understanding. canada goose clearance

Canada Goose online Nevertheless, merely hearing or reading words does not constitute listening and understanding. If you read the Bible to affirm or deny a predetermined opinion, how does that count as reading it? You cite that the Bible as a whole is hypocritical because it claims to promote Love, but it canada goose outlet washington dc (1.)allows forms of slavery, (2.)records divine commands of genocide, and (3.)promotes specific gendered relationships. These are common, superficial insults canada goose coats uk to the credibility of the Bible, but consider a different perspective on each: Canada Goose online
canada goose clearance sale The kind of slavery the Bible tolerates is exactly the kind of slavery that you tolerate, in canada goose outlet ontario sweatshops and other heavily imbalanced, but necessary, working conditions around the world. The only difference between the global slavery that produces your goods and services, and Biblical slavery, is that there are divine mandates to limit the suffering and increase the pleasure of the servants and even to ensure their eventual freedom. Biblical slavery was not the same as your image of a man being chained to a whipping post for a living. God explicitly hates unjustly oppressive forms of slavery, as evidenced by the whole book of Exodus. canada goose clearance sale
Canada Goose Jackets Neither of us are anti vaccine. No living being body should be plagued by disease, including God body. We take medicine and produce antibodies to destroy undesirable, living organisms, because it is good for the whole. We do this because we Love our bodies. We do not like our foreign diseases. If you knew it were not good for you to remove those living things canada goose uk site from your body, you would not do it, but because of your limited knowledge, you know a good choice that will benefit the whole of your body. If you have selfish, cancerous cells, which are completely involved in satisfying themselves with no regard for the concerns of the whole body, no longer taking directions from canada goose outlet parka you, that are eating your appendix, will you not destroy the failing organ and its cells? Now, if God canada goose outlet nyc exists as the All Knowing Head of Reality, whose body you are but a cell of, and He chooses to perform certain forms of maintenance on himself out of his knowledge for the greater good, then where is the evil? The Bible says that if you never performed evil behavior, you would never die, and so Death is the removal of unhealthy matter. Jesus is the signal that God Loves your soul enough to save it from Death. Everything is a fractal echo of God being, which is Love. And Love Purifies, Reproduces, and Unifies, rather than just Accepts, Desires and Ignores. Canada Goose Jackets
buy canada goose jacket Gender ties into these last two. What you call “sexism” is essentially any suggestion that men and women are innately different in any way. But the Bible says that Men are the Heads of their Wives. In the same way that God is the head of the World, giving guidance, providence, support and purpose, and in the same way that your mind should guide, support and direct your body, and that Light determines Darkness. The proper Husband, like Jesus, is supposed to give his whole life out of Love for the sake of the World and his Wife. The Wife will follow suit, and be willing to give Herself to Her Husband for Love. “God is Love” because He is already this perfect union between the Masculine and Feminine. This is The “Non Toxic Masculinity” and The “Non Toxic Gendered Relationship.” The happy Man, who is the King of his own canada goose outlet 80 off mind, desires, emotions and body, is the man that women desire to submit themselves to, and who is most capable of succeeding in the World as well. Women would love to be in good hands. If you knew you could trust the all powerful, all knowing, all encompassing God to please you, wouldn you become religious? Your and are really a label for the intrinsically Feminine, Karmic Justice for leveling out canada goose outlet factory men who behave against Love. Feminism is a good thing, for now, but equality is not what humanity wants. Equality is not intrinsically identical, or opposed, to the Life and Goodness we need. If all men in America started exclusively doing what is Right, instead of whatever they desired to do, feminism would dissolve, women would forget “equality” canada goose outlet winnipeg en masse in favor of peace and prosperity, “mental illnesses” would be revealed as canada goose outlet store calgary primarily issues of ignorance, morality and spirituality, and we would be at the cusp of another massive spike in general comfort and productivity. It means that everything in reality works best when canada goose outlet reviews oriented in a specific way. The Bible claims to provide that specific way, and you disbelieve that it does this at your own risk buy canada goose jacket.
