It's true that Christians are less self-reliant than others, simply because they turn to the external for guidance, rather than the internal.

For me, self-reliance is very important. You must trust, love, and accept yourself before you can trust, love, and accept others. Christians, by their very nature, cannot truly love and accept themselves, as they believe sin is inherent
within them; it is because of this perceived sin that Christians cannot trust in themselves completely. For this reason, I believe that several Christians are not capable of genuine love. If one cannot love, then he or she lacks all strength.

This is of course not applicable to all Christians, but is applicable to the radicals and fringe believers.

These are my thoughts. Let me know what you guys think! Share your personal experiences and objections if you feel like it.

That guy has a point.
Christians = haters
There are too many haters in this world.
Nn for haters.

Can you please look up the word irony and then try to apply it to the bold section?

Edit: P.S I completely disagree with the quote in question

thread fucking sucks

prime example of why atheists as a whole get a bad rap, even though a good majority all have differing beliefs and reasoning for those beliefs.

Epion has a decent IQ but has never had a point, that I have noticed.

Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

Matthew 5:44 (King James Version) 4But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

Why do you feel the need to rally atheists to support you ?

Why do so many people always miss the entire point of Christianity?

can you please explain to me what they were going for here? they said they were trying to make people remember the real reason of christmas. im just not seeing it. honest question... several other churches found it inappropriate as well and i cant see the underlying message b/c my head is in the gutter and possible lack of religious background

Epion is a user who refuses to actively participate in this forum because he gets destroyed by several users in debates frequently. As an alternative, he posts psuedo-enlightened and/or politically relevant threads in Donor Forum where the only replies are "gz" or perhaps a quote and then "/this".
