I think they understand it all too well. I know I do.

Maybe it's just a very cynical bible store and they just want to sell bibles.

This is fucking awesome.

Welp time to skip this comment section! Let's hope the next picture has a dog in it.
TGIBallsWorth
There's a dog as of now

Update: No dogs just a lady
jw1487
I think they understood. There's an entire movement - from within the Church - realizing we're not really reflecting genuine Christianity.

Worked for me.

Well, it looks like they can't read.

Everyone assumes these are dumb hics who don't get the point of the quote. Maybe they understand it completely but think it's funny (1/2)
jackbos
Wow. Lot of butthurt downvoting. Liberals really don't like it when you defend the people they irrationally hate.
jackbos
(2/2) And maybe they have a sense of humor and don't have sticks up their asses. Maybe, just maybe, they aren't the stereotype you assume.
SAWhowhatnow
Then you should try and be more like them, 'cause I think the stick up your ass is what's making you act so butthurt.

I would say Science is the cure.
w0lver1
Science & religion shouldnt be mutually exclusive.
pandasmakemehappy
They're not. The only people who think they are mutually exclusive treat science like a cult.
pinkcris
Dude this is so real though. And I was raised Christian. Mostly still am, but you know...a lot of them are crazy.

They need Jesus.
pinkcris
Amen.

They probably only saw 'Christianity' and 'Bible' and thought "This is perfect, put it on display!"
jw1487
Not sure why you guys think they don't get it? There's a movement of Christians evaluating what true Christianity looks like - Biblically.
GadenKerensky
I mean, the Bible is so contradictory, it's impossible to believe.
jw1487
Not true. I admit there's tough parts you have to wrestle out a bit. And there's good study on it. But "contradictory" or "impossible"? Nah.
GadenKerensky
God forgives all, yet he condemns an entire nation to destruction? And floods the world?

I yell at my son when he steps out of line doesn't mean I don't love him, same concept larger scale

Maybe they punned "cure" like to cure bacon. Which as we know makes it amazing.
GadenKerensky
Bacon is amazing period.

Should say 'fake Christianity'
joeyjojosharknado
Every Christian considers their faith to be the true, most correct interpretation. Same for all religions. You all know this.
w0lver1
...faith, no one could learn and serve as well as they should.
w0lver1
Depends on who you ask, but really the faith focuses on love and selflessness, and if everyone thinks they are absolutely right in their...
DaggertheFox
Perhaps. However there is an objective truth and actually reading the Bible gets you closer to understanding it.
joeyjojosharknado
You just gave me an example of what I'm talking about. A devout Muslim would think the Quran is objective truth. Etc. for all religions.
DaggertheFox
My point is that laid out in the book is a certain way of doing/believing. What is practiced vs. what is in the book isn't always the same
SteveHarringtonBabysittingServices
Dear God, it's not you. It's your followers.

Also, on a somewhat related note, Passion of the Christ is getting a sequel.

I'm 99% sure the story is over.

Is there a word for painting an entire group of people in the same light as their lowest common denominator?
NomsOnWorlds
Who knows? Maybe this store owner loves the faithful and hates the religious.

The difference is one wields the Word as a sword against others, and one uses it as a sword against his demons. Two kinds of people.
LongCommentChainAppreciator
I would've chosen the word shield for the second one. But I guess in abrahamic religions the sword is the defense of choice.
NomsOnWorlds
It comes from a bloody time in a bloody part of the world. What can you do?
joeyjojosharknado
You do know that the 'religious' consider themselves the 'faithful' too. Everyone considers their faith to be the correct one.
NomsOnWorlds
In my head the distinction is in who you try to apply the teachings to: yourself (faith) or other people (religion)
joeyjojosharknado
JWs and many other faiths consider proselytization an essential part of being Christian. And the Bible is somewhat contradictory on that...
NomsOnWorlds
Guide others, share and testify? Sure, faith. You can't eat that because my belief system says so? Nope.
LongCommentChainAppreciator
In reality faith is the belief in something that can't be proven. Religion is the shared, organized and possibly hierarchial version.
LongCommentChainAppreciator
Applying the teachings to yourself, without the luff, would simply make you a follower of a life guide.

Jesus demanded that everyone loved him more than your own family. I do not like him either.
IamGoober
Ghandi also loved Hitler...

I havent checked the source (im lazy right now, no shame) but i like the quote anyway! +1

AmiEvilYet
So, even crazy right wing pro-christian websites appear to view it as a legitimate quote. So it's either real, or so common as to be real.
theyaregooddogsbront
Im glad you said crazy right wing. How the hell do they know ghandi wasnt referring to their jesus? Also thanks for letting me be lazy! +1

"Therefore I am going to nuke your civilization into the stone age."
321Guesswho
I played a lot of civ 4 and never understood this. Until u realized that I played ghandi the most and realized I nuked almost everyone
theyaregooddogsbront
Sauce? Im beginning to like history lately, legitimately want to learn, not being a sarcastic ass.
loarak
As ghandi grew older, he became increasingly distressed with the state of the world and thought civilization should start again 1/2
theyaregooddogsbront
Im an idiot. +1 to all because i totally had your first reference go right over my head.
loarak
He saw nuclear war as a big reset button on the planet, and if put in charge of a large military force would enforce this belief 2/2
loarak
or its a reference to the civilization games, a bug makes Ghandi become very violent once he unlocks nukes.

I like the guy in charge just fine. Those who claim to follow him have always been total assholes to me, though.
gerdygerdygerdy
Jesus was loved by many because he was known for performing miracles. But when you take that part away, there are lots of Christians who
gerdygerdygerdy
Speak the same words and preach the same concepts, and are called jerks. Remember how many also wanted to kill jesus, as much as the many
gerdygerdygerdy
Who loved and admired him. The ones who wanted him dead are the ones he was reprimanding.
NomsOnWorlds
They'd crucify him again if he started teaching today.
almostsomething182
Every single one you met? Sounds like it was kinda your fault if that's the case. Almost like you're causing it.
NomsOnWorlds
You diddn't grow up in the south as an athiest, I see. To be fair, now that I'm one of them, they tend to leave me be.
almostsomething182
I grew up in the south as a Christian, haven't once preached hellfire or hassled an atheist.
almostsomething182
Lutheran, so I guess less extreme than other Christians though.
