What's it like riding a fat tire e-bike with TRIPLE suspension? Engwe X26 review - sh.itjust.works

Another ridiculous bike from Engwe, kinda want…

My humble opinion:

Many Christians (and people of other kinds of faith) truly want to be good humans. I know many christians. And although for many reasons I personally don’t take their faith for me, I do recognize their honest intentions and beautiful hearts.

Then… then we have these scumbags… these abominations that not only abuse (in the general sense), but also target and scar for life the most vulnerable members of our society. These excuses of human beings are a complete waste of air and must be castrated and let to rot in prison.

Their holy book is filled with rape, murder, genocide, incest, and ritualized cannibalism in the name of their god. It ends with them going to heaven while everyone else gets burned for eternity. There probably are decent people who get involved, but their decency does not stem from their religion. It’s a psychological coping mechanism that has become a good old boys club that holds itself as morally unaccountable to anyone but god for their actions. In the real world, people expect others to either not be an asshole, or if they are, actually atone by paying the consequences and change their ways, not just whisper some words to the sky and announce “all good, I’m forgiven”. You can insert a lot of other religions in here- do wrong, be sheltered from consequences by your cult, or if even they can’t protect you, double down on refusing to take accountability because you don’t think you answer to other humans.

ritualized cannibalism wow, that’s new for me, would you mind to elaborate?

The rest, good points. You touched several reasons why I don’t endorse their faith myself.

Thanks for the comment

The ritualized cannibalism bit is transubstantiation, the belief that the blood(wine) and body(bread) of Jesus turn into his real blood and body during consecration in catholic mass.

But you could make a dig into it overall just beacuase the bread and wine are symbolic ritual cannibalism, very culty sounding when you look at it from another angle.

As you said though, that’s a Catholic tradition, not Christianity as a whole, and it isn’t directly supported by the Bible. Its their unique interpretation of the act of communion. The actual text seems pretty metaphorical IMO.
Communion is not really just a catholic tradition, and it is not a wild interpretation to make when a dude says these 2 things sybolically represent my flesh and blood, calling the whole ritual symbolic cannibalism is not a stretch.
I didn’t say communion was only a catholic tradition. I said transubstantiation is only a catholic tradition. Calling the ritual cannibalism when it is entirely symbolic is a stretch.

Well considering nearly, if not all modern offshoots of Christianity are rooted in Catholocism, I don’t really see why you they need to be separated so. The communions practiced in protestant offshoots are kind of bound to their origins no?

And once again, symbolically eating the flesh and blood of your deity can be referred to as symbolic ritual cannibalism, whether or not you believe that it is literally turning into the blood and flesh of your deity in your stomach.

Considering that religious offshoots typically occur because of disagreement in teachings and interpretation, no, they’re not bound to their origins at all.

symbolic ritual cannibalism

Lmao, you’re grasping at straws mate.
