Christian disscussion thread

[Reggae Magmia]

I'm just curious about this, but which other religion (atheism is not one) do you guys dislike the most?

Which Christian denomination do you dislike the most?

For the religion I dislike the most, I'm not fully decided. I'm not a fan of Islam, but I dislike pagan religions more. It most likely is Hinduism.
I dislike the Orthodox denomination the most.

Religion: I hold an unfavorable view of Islam. I dislike the FLDS.

Denomination: I hold an unfavorable view of Catholicism, and to a certain extent the Baptist Church.

Paganism. For sure.

I do not know. All denominations are Christian and I don't really hate any.

Do you like Mormonism or the Baha'i Faith?

Convert, though why?

You might enjoy this gently humorous book: http://www.amazon.co.uk/One-Flew-Over-O ... 1928653278

One of the chapters mentions how 'ordainitis' is a common malady of the convert.

That's not to say that you're not wholly sincere, and I don't mean to suggest otherwise for a second - but it seems to be a common issue for Orthodox parish priests to discover that their converted male parishioners contemplate ordination; and with so many different levels and orders of ordination in Orthodoxy, the temptation's perhaps understandable.

So again, not for a second do I mean to suggest that you're not 100% sincere; but realistically you should talk to a priest, as I'm sure you're already planning on doing if you follow through.

Ordered, I'll have a read of that.

I was baptised on the 3rd of April 2010, been to church since then. I got inklings that I might want to be ordained this January however I had put it aside due to working on finishing up some loose ends in the form of half finished qualifications.

As I will be finishing an undergraduates in political science (basically writing a historical paper and then analysing the situation with John Spanier's levals of analysis) very soon as in early February. I was wondering on what to do next. I spend so much of my time on NSG debating theology, I feel that God has given me my knowledge for a reason and I feel called to help people through the church.

So yes I will pray about it, read that book, finish my paper and then perhaps see a priest.

Do you like Mormonism or the Baha'i Faith?

I consider Mormons Christians. I certainly don't believe what they say, but they preach morality and thus they are surely good people. And I do not know enough about the Baha'i Faith to say.

They're a bunch of Persian Christian-wannabes.

Interesting, thoughtful and well explained summation of the highly complex Baha'i Faith.

That is a VERY explainatory description. Certainly tells me all about it.

It was a summary sentence.

Since we're on the topic of our other religion likes/dislikes, I'd like to hear everyone's opinions on the Rastafari Movement.

I personally hold the movement in great regard. Some of my current theological beliefs have been influenced by Rasta teachings. Even my political beliefs have been shaped by such teachings.

I briefly and still sometimes consider becoming a Rasta (which actually wouldn't necessarily change my views much), but I need to study their beliefs more.

It was summary on purpose!

And why don't you go look it up yourself, if you're gonna act like that?

In the same way "Christians are a bunch of European Jew-wannabes" is.

Completely inaccurate in every particular.

Oh, that's really dumb. In fact, I dislike that way more than Orthodoxy, if it can even be called a Christian denomination.

Clearly they're a bunch of black Christian-wannabes.

No, Christians don't want to be Jews. In fact, there is a huge difference between Jews and Christianity.

What actually is your problem with Orthodoxy?

Rastafarianism is worst than the Baha'i faith.

It seems he has a problem with anything that isn't Catholic.

What huge difference would that be?

How? They follow the OT, they're very spiritual, there's a Mansion that actually puts Yeshua above Selassie (the one I would join)...

How the fuck is it a cult?!

I have no idea what that is.
