Bravo...
Ezekiel 23:20 - There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses.
They'd love to have had porn a mouse click away back in tribal days, and certainly enjoy it today.

But God ain't acting in the film, right?
So the Bible is wrong?
I'm sure this guy voted against Trump after the Stormy Daniels case came to light.........right ?
Surely @horsechoker is the resident CAF expert in these matters?
So does wearing clothing made of two different materials but that would be stupid wouldn't it? I hate these people.
This thread is quite embarrassing I must say. I don't see the ultra conservative religious with a thread with constant updates about the secular world and what they're coming out with routinely so it causes me to wonder about the mentality of those that keep piping up here. Very strange.
This forum isn't conducive to the ultra conservative religious, and thank feck for that. Otherwise I'm sure we'd have one.
you haven't been around much, have you.They try, we just keep winning the argument
I'll bite. Can you give an example or two of what the secular world is coming out with that's bad?
In mankind’s history, nothing has killed more people, or destroyed more lives, than religion. It’s perfectly reasonable to highlight the crimes and hypocrisies carried out in the name of magical sky gods.
Don't forget to opine on this thread, it has a similarity to this one...

Perhaps for the same reason believers in Zenu or the various Hindu gods don't. Those who "pipe up" often view any belief in gods or religion as hugely harmful to society.
Not ‘any’ belief, just those that use it to justify historical economic fleecing of the poor, colonisation, mass murder, genocide, ethnic cleansing and the rape & subjugation of women / minorities / minors.
Maoism. Religion is broad and so is political and philosophicals positions that are secular. Its very varied.
Feel free to create one
I believe they’re called:
Westminster Politics
US Politics
Russian invasion of Ukraine
Israel - Palestine
Facism in Pakistan
…and about 2000 more.
Eugenics used to be one too. It was pretty fundamental to Nazi Ideology.
And Churchill was also a believer
Eugenics is actually a great example but I was hoping for some more current material as the post I replied to implied that the secular world is spewing out atrocities so frequently you could have a thread giving constant updates about it, so bringing up things that aren't a thing anymore seems to miss the mark a bit. If this thread was full of posts shaking their fists about the crusades or the Salem witch trials it would be a different matter.
A lot was back then. Including the Huxley's among whom Aldeus was my favourite
According to those people things like giving equal rights and freedom to live their lives normally to LGBTQ+ is probably equivalent to committing an atrocity so I guess they can post those updates.
The ccp are covertly sterilising Tibetans and Uigyurs based on the very popular idea that real Chinese have Han genetics.
Should be recent enough

They are far too secular. What we need is a fundematalist thread where any critical thought is banned.
It very much is. The thing is though that it's also happening in US prisons and ICE detention centers. The Nazis were pretty big on that whole Christianity thing as well so while eugenics in and of itself is arguably secular it's been practiced by both religious and secular powers alike.
What exactly do you require pointing out to you, why would you need specific examples as if the Western world is governed by Christianity anymore. Hasn't been for decades. It's a sideshow, even in America where it has a little more relevance but mostly in a very constrained way and not to do with the overarching direction they take on the world stage. Those at the top don't give a shit about Christianity.
Nevermind Western Europe, it's virtually dead here. So if it's a nice little game to tar religion with a brush and fixate on opinions of a wacky minority I'd like to know why we don't do the same thing for athiests pointing out everything they say on social media, maybe talk about the wars our globalist atheist governments are indulging in and ascribing it to their athiesm and secular views in particular. We might have threads on their atrocities but it's never about their athiesm, that's my point about the strange obsession of this thread.
In the grand scheme of things Christians do not deserve the scorn they get which misses the overall goodness of this group. If we took a draw of random people out of a Church on Sunday compared to the average atheist Joe on the street I would bet everything I own on who is going to be the more developed, loving person. That being the one from the Church. It might be wrong in a specific case but generally speaking. So why don't we ever talk about the good it brings, some very skewed presentation. Makes me very curious about the internal logic and motivations at play.
Nice fallacy there in that last para.
You can't even be bothered to formulate a cogent thought it seems. Surely you either have an opinion to present that engages with the topic or you do not.
