So hey there Quizzical, just to let you know, I am a pretty busy person. I work full time, have family responsibilities, and other responsibilities.Quizzical wrote: ↑Tue Sep 17, 2024 1:41 amI want to reiterate how unique and amazing you are!Wynd Runner wrote: ↑Mon Sep 16, 2024 9:52 pmResponding to both your posts: "Meh"

It is my personal opinion that christianity is a bullshit religion. Its sole purpose is to denigrate and put down others and to rule over them and control them . . . exalting a "patriarchy" over others.
My goddess is Lilith. I reject any and all patriarchal religions.
christianity is a heinous, despicable religion created by men and has wrought horrible destruction on this planet and humanity. I celebrate it's withering downfall across this planet.
Lilith is sweet, unique, and amazing too!
I understand. Lilith, the Nephilim (Cambions)..
I get it..
I come on these forums maybe once or twice a week, sometimes a lot less. All those posts you made directed to me, I'm just seeing now.
There's so much there, I am not sure what to respond to.

I disagree with this that Christianity is bullshit . . .
The old testament is full of stories of "god" telling his followers to conquer other lands and telling them to go so far as to destroy every living thing. (think about that for a minute.) I will say that in the new testament in one of Paul's letters he says women should cover their heads and defer to men.
Also, as the "Church" was formalized via various meetings such as "the counsel of Nicea," it was all about men ruling and laying down laws. They even formed their own military based out of the Vatican to threaten rulers (lesser kings, dukes, etc) who did not fall in line with what they wanted.
They were pretty bloody, Charlemagne was among the worst. (See the massacre of Verden.) Later were pogroms and crusades.
All of this was the beat down those who would not follow. There are hundreds, possibly thousands, more examples.
chrisitianity is a religion of control and it has its beginning and early years in the subjugation and control of others. It has a lot of blood on its hands.
Later, chrisitianity was used as an excuse to enslave others and an excuse for genocide against Native Americans across the Americas.
Even today, dominionist chrisitians want to destroy the earth to force their messiah to come back and "take them to glory."
So yeah, it is my opinion chrisitianity is a pretty shitty religion.
Maybe now you see why I have my strong opinions.
Quizzical, I had a good laugh when you said I had a bunch of shadow work to do, etc. LOL I do not think you really know me. Possibly now you may realize why I stated some of what I did?
******************************
Austine, you and I have "butted heads" before on different posts. LOL
Yeah 'light' blah blah blah whatever. The light can also be very caustic and destructive in its own way. Just remember that.
"The Light" via christianity has ruled civilized, Westernized society for a couple thousand years now. Realize the pendulum is starting to swing the other way.
I believe there should be balance and acceptance so I am not hoping for the opposite of what humanity has endured for 2024 years but led by "The Dark."
No, balance and acceptance.
Also just so you both know, I do respect individual humans who are christians. The first example who comes to my mind is former President Jimmy Carter. He is an excellent example of a christian doing good in the world. Just a couple of things he has accomplished and done . . . he played a big part in eradicating Guinea-worm disease. Also, he was deeply involved with Habitat for Humanity. He has done a lot of good helping others around the world. So yes, there are good christians, but sadly it is the bad ones who frequently grab the latest news headlines.
And with that, I am off. I hope you both have a great night and wonderful weekend.
