Fundy Christians Are Against Cures For Disease Because Life Is Supposed To Be Miserable.
Last edited Thu Oct 16, 2014, 07:21 PM - Edit history (1)
When I was a practicing Catholic the main meme was that life was "a vale of tear". Life was supposed to be unpleasant and challenging. Pleasure was forbidden. We had to sacrifice and suffer like Christ did. Disease, suffering, pain and death were admirable and even desirable because these conditions were Christ like. You were suffering to enjoy the "afterlife" in heaven if you lived as a proper Christian.
Today's fundy Christians pretty much believe the same thing. So being against something like stem cell research or science that might cure disease or make a person's life bearable is against religion. Disease, death and other life tragedies are punishment by God for the fall of Adam and Eve.
To them this life is all about preparing yourself for an afterlife. That reason is why Christians do not care if the world ends or if their is pestilence, famine etc. That reason is also why they do not care if we trash the planet. The sooner we kill ourselves off the sooner Christ will return.

Eat a dick, Bob. You'll die soon and the world won't miss your sorry one-footed, half-brained ass.

Bob can't even do a credible job of faking it as an ex-Christian.
Only a DUmpmonkey would buy his bullshit.
Go rub your stump, Bob.

With his other stump.

Hey dumb ass. As a Catholic, I'm also against fetal stem cells. Stem cells can be obtained from other sources without my tax dollars going to your bizarre baby sacrificing practices.

It's amusing that he takes a particular view on suffering and extrapolates it to all Christians. There are as many views on the nature of suffering as there are Christians in the world.

Any one visit Mexico or other country's in South America at Easter ???? The public displays of the Christian Faith will take your breath away.
These faith full will go to lengths we never saw before. Men do not just replicate and follow the stations of Jesus but do the whole literal as was said 2,000 years ago. Most awful and bloody, and very confusing to outside Christians and most other beliefs.
Big Parades first to celebrate the rise from the dead Jesus. Floats of young women wearing feathers and half
naked. Los of bands playing some kid of jolly tune. ------Then come the men who are either drugged or insane that have had themselves actually nailed to cross's to be dragged about the streets blood dripping from their body's.
This is their culture and their uptake on Christianity, seems to suit them fine, not my or any ones place to say they are wrong.

I don't believe that Christians are to seek out suffering and we are not opposed to finding cures for diseases. We are asked to endure suffering when it comes upon us like Christ did on the cross but we aren't forbidden from taking measures to elevate our suffering. If I have a headache I will take an Advil. If something is wrong I will go to the doctor's office.

Yeah, that was ...uhhh ......real bad.
I wish someone would ask him what a "vale of a tear" is. The poor stupe has me curious, now.

:-) Probably.

As usual, these knobs take things to extremes based on what their TV tells them. Somebody needs to remind The MaterbatingNemesis that it was the Roman Catholic Church that maintained what knowledge and SCIENCE it could after the fall of Rome through the Dark Ages to, eventually, spark the Renaissance.

Not a lot of response at DU. He replies.

4. It Was A Toxic Undercurrent In The Catholic School System.
I remember students being admonished almost 24/7 about being prepared for sudden death by having a proper confession and being in constant grace "i.e. free of sin". We were always reminded what mortal sin was and every kind of sin you can even imagine. by the time I finished at a Catholic college I realized is was all bullshit.
It took a long time to get rid of all that garbage. A person simply cannot live a live being so paranoid all the time. The fundy churches are very much like that in that the after live whatever the hell that is is more important than present life.
It is like pain and suffering must sought after as a badge of honor. I wonder what is being taught in the Catholic schools today or what is left of them. I am sure little has changed.

7. Despite The Indoctrination The Catholic School System Gave A Great Education.
The Catholic Church undercut itself by educating us too well in other ways. The intellectualism and self introspection eventually led to independent and critical thinking in the end. I will bet that most of my peers gave up their religion over time. I did at 23. And getting a BFA in drama also helped.
It has been ironic in a way that a system meant to keep us all Catholic in the end most likely failed. Buried in the core philosophy and the theology were the seeds of its own destruction. And personally I have moved beyond all that brainwashing so long ago.

This has toast! Christianity is legs!

Ok, I thought that was pretty funny.
