God wanted to create a being "in his image". A being free, intelligent, capable of choice and to love freely, because God wanted to have a relationship with his creation, yet how can one have a relationship with a robot ?
Again, heavy sufi similarities. You're literally repeating Suhrawardi's philosophy to me. I wonder if they're based on each other since some christian theologians like aquinas were influenced by the works of muslims like avicenna.
Oh yea I forgot about this. We also have this explanation in islam. The alzheimers is getting worse.
People can come to the truth through nature, although the fullness of the truth cannot exist in multiple places, and therefore there can only be one orthodoxia, and it is the job of the philosopher to find it.
It's so over
Depends on what you call tolerance.
Well, after Constantine there were more and more anti-pagan laws put into practice within the Roman Empire. With many Emperors destroying and burning down pagan temples themselves. The pattern was simple actually, the Edict of Milan gave freedom of conscience to choose any religion at first. But over time, that too was abolished in favor of giving Christians preference over pagans. By the 6th century you could risk the death penalty for practicing paganism. There's this strange myth going around that early Christians defeated paganism with just "muh words and philosophy". Sure that was a part of it but that doesn't mean they didn't push for cracking down on the pagans once they got in power. I don't see why that should change now. If Muslims have the right to have countries free of other religions, then Christians also have that right.
I see. What I do agree with you is that Idolatry is evil, and destroying an idol once no one is left to fight for it is completely fine by me. We should strive hard for idolatry to be gone from the world, as we should strive for people to accept Christ, the both are linked.
I don't necessarily approve of a literal death penalty either, I simply think the state should have one official religion and minority religions should know their place and everyone must know which religion is the ruling one. That's basically how it is in Russia at the moment, the state gives Russian Orthodox Church primacy and cracks down on many other religious groups. They call it a form of managed plurality. There are people practicing different religions and they are allowed, sure. But everyone knows who is truly in charge. Unlike western countries where it's just le full equality (although in reality it's more like western countries are anti-christian). Russia also bans some religions it considers to be subversive, one example is Jehovah's Witnesses, they are completely banned within Russia.
So fvcking keyed
Ok yeah that I can completely get behind, I'm fine.
Retards come from every group.
If you're serious, then the reason these people exist is from apostasy; calling yourself something (and lying about living up to what you say about yourself) without actually being that. It's much more common in today's age, so you see a lot more people like homosexuals calling themselves Christians, so that they can follow their own desecrated perception of Jesus Christ while maintaining a false comfort in forcing themselves to believe that their ways are tolerated by God.
2 likely reasons
Christbros... I... Is it over for us ?
