I'm agnostic but Calvinism is easily my favorite branch of Christianity. They seem like the only branch the actually cares about logical consistency (and of course, for this reason, everyone hates them.)

the most accurate christianity is calvinism, the most accurate abrahamism is judaism and the most accurate religion is none (atheism)

"No religion" isn't atheism, it's "I'm 'spiritual' tee hee." Atheism is a well-defined spiritual belief.

Christianity is dying such a slow agonizing pathetic death. I can't stand to look at it's followers. Why can't they decline faster.

This literally has to be true if you affirm the three omnis. Again, the herd hates consistency.

This is an extremely unusual definition of atheism. Most people define atheism as lack of religion.

Most people are retarded, stop engaging in groupthink and use your brain.
The largest growing religion is indeed "none," but ask its adherents what they believe and they'll mostly say that they're spiritual but not religious. Ritual artifacts dating back hundreds of thousands of years have been found, so the natural state of humanity is to be spiritual, if not necessarily codifying those rituals into religion.

>"God is actually evil, bro"
- John Calvin

>>81549577
According to Calvin God even makes people convinced that they're elect in life only to send them to Hell for being prideful so you can't even really know that you're saved in Calvinism, it's literally just fate. Like he describes a system that's consistent but also psychotic and not really biblical

Predestination doesn't work on non-cosmic timescales. Parallel universes are real, and so until there is a new heaven and new earth, it's impossible for there to be a single determination as to what a person's fate is.

Can you guess what modern ideologies are directly descendant from calvinists?
It's: Identity politics and social justice

That's interesting. The thing that got me was "religion is for sinners".
I don't know who it's attributed to, or if any denomination embraces it as a motto. If I was a social person I'd have to go to the church of the subgenius and probably find a new way to be disgusted with humanity, before I started reading the bible.

I mean no matter what you do or don't believe, either way you always find new and interesting ways to be disgusted by humanity.

That's paraphrased from Jesus.
"It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance."

Yeah well that's a loose interpretation. I like to prefer to believe people use to scream some cthulu like creature abomination type noises at eachother as a language, and someone figured out how to translate it.

I mean yeah it's a cthulu language, just because he translated some of it doesn't mean he didn't lose his mind somewhere.

nta, But you really think theology is about having logically airtight dogma? Have you gone any deeper? I only ask because we could discuss it if you have, otherwise it would be a waste of time to talk any further.
