Lot of bs. Catholic as far as I know is the only religion where non believer aren't damned to hell. If they act rightfully trough their life they won t go in heaven but a place call lymb where they will live happily until the end of time. The only difference with heaven is they won't get to see God. The pope doesn't have influence over leader around the world. I mean he ask for the end of war in Gaza or ukraine and look how it goes. They never hold scientific progress and where keeper of it during a time science wasn't spread because of the need of manual labor. Meanwhile Muslim littérale genocide ppl of other faith. So often ressort to violence that u have wikipedia page about it for any european country. Littérale believe the earth is falt and so on. It s not even comparable. It s just bad faith argument over and over that want to compare the incomparable. I would 100x time prefer to be Muslim in a christian country than the opposite.
Forgot about it but children forced marriage are legal in islam u dont need the child permission only his father and it s well done cause rape in marriage doesn't exist. So it s litteraly pedophilia legal and permit under religious law just with extra step. Compare this to Christianity just expose your stupidity
So, I did exaggerate a bit sort of. Under Catholism, the virtuous non-beliver and unbaptised innocents go to Limbo, which is not exactly Hell. But Limbo is not a happy place either. It is like an offshoot of hell, minus the explicit pain and punishment of actual hell. It's residents are described as suffering by their separation from God.
Also Catholics are most definitely not the only religion that doesnt condemn non-believer to hell or the equivalent. There are plenty of religions without even a concept of hell or an analogous eternal punishment, so that's simply not the case.
Horseshit. He doesn't have control, but to pretend that he has no influence is at best ignorant and at worst dishonest.
So because violent leaders don't follow his directives, that means his influence is null?
They have historically been patrons and stewards of the sciences. However there are moments in history where conflict between doctrine and scientific discovery have led to the church using its overwhelming power to suppress the science and condemn its discoverer(s). Galileo and his Heliocentric model is obviously the most notable of such cases.
See, you misunderstood the point. My point was about how easy it is to frame facts in a way that makes what would otherwise be seen as normal religious activities and history to us make a religion seem abnormal and menacing in comparison. This was a critique of that framing, not of the Catholic church. You then got super defensive and then doubled down on this framing against Muslims.
Catholicism is fine. Silly but fine. Islam is fine. Silly but fine. More or less all religions are silly but fine until fundamentalists, bigots, jihadists (Muslim or otherwise), theocrats, or or any other prick that uses religion to push their terrible fucking ideas onto others or to justify hurting others gets involved. Islamic states are a problem, no doubt. But frankly any religious theocracy is, and for the exact same reasons.
again you exagerate. The pain come from the separation of god. Not tormenty or anything else. It s describe as happy place but your not complete.
Give one exemple of his great influence ? Yeah he have some but it doesnt have any ramifications
And that s just misinformation. Galileo wasnt reprimended for his discovery but for having use published it without enough evidence for suporting his claim while he did ask before and that was refuse. He litteraly use church ressource to do something that he was forbiden to do prior.
ok you loose any credibility. U do the basic im super smart since im atheist and i dont believe in god just to loose any credibility by not even be abble to properly criticize. U know what im the first aware that the church (wich isnt the same as the faith) isnt perfect and made a lot of mistake. U framing it as it was comparable to a religion that the literal interpretation allow you do to crime againts mankind is wild and quite horrendous about your knowledge on the subject
Keep up the pedantry and ironic bigotry, dude. Keep on pretending that Catholocism/The Bible doesn't actively support religious murder, slavery, rape, incest, etc, same as the Islam/Quran. Fine by me.
