Christianity is a man made religion shaped to control people in which you are supposed to "worship" a really high authority that cannot be questioned.

[–] Zron@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (3 children)

Are their non man made religions I should know about?

I feel like dogs would have a good religion. I wanna subscribe to that.

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Most evenings, I sit on my front porch overlooking a quiet pond, and play my guitar for an hour or so, accompanied by birdsong. That's my religion.

I like the part where they worship me.

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

if one uses the broad meaning of "religion" then i'd say unorganized ones aren't really manmade, like hunter-gatherers just vaguely assuming the moon is "a spirit or something i guess" isn't comparable to christianity or islam.

[–] MotoAsh@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Nah, that's actually exactly comparable to Islam and Christianity.

[–] jj4211@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

A difference exists in that those sentiments has less implications for daily life. People sharing spiritual speculation about the greater universe with the humility to recognize they have no way of knowing better than anyone else, fine.

I'm not bothered by the faith in something beyond what we can see in and out itself. But the bits where self asserted alignment to a silent but divine authority as a way to decide value and authority among people.. There's the problem.

I do not question the authority of someone's God, I question the authority of the people claiming that God agrees with them.

Of course he liked crosses! There was even that one cross he used to hang at.

I have always thought that choosing the cross as the universal symbol of Christianity is the most twisted and sad thing in the world.

That is why I prefer the Ichthys. It represents Jesus's high point, when he performed a miracle for the all the people. For me, it's better to remember people at their best than at their worst.

Not a religious person here, but I think it's a metaphor, where we all are carrying a cross, like jesus did, but smaller... and lighter...

[–] Denjin@lemmings.world 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

So not like Jesus at all then

[–] capuccino@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago (2 children)

holly molly, you are not a person of metaphors, right?

[–] Tikiporch@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (2 children)

They only wear tiny crosses if they also have tiny Jesus on them. The lesson of the crucifixion pain can only manifest if everything is to proper scale.

just another example of Christians cherry picking what they what to use from their religion and using it out of context to better serve their agendas.

[–] ComradePenguin@lemmy.ml 13 points 2 days ago (6 children)

Not christian, but I would assume the cross is a reminder of Jesus dying for our sins.

Jesus is lord.

Cross defeats Jesus.

Cross is lord.

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Christianity is just another weird death cult. I never understood why the Romans had an issue with him until I learned that Jesus was literally proselytizing that people were going to raise from the dead. I am not talking about the afterlife, he was saying that people are going to unalive and his kingdom would be on this earth with everyone who died coming back to life.

Fucking whacko to say the least and then sure enough his cult had him come back to life like he said everyone else would. Sooo yeah they were fucking crazy and so is everyone who thinks a ancient book contains all the answers. Hint: it doesn't.

It was inherited from Zoroastrianrism.
