I always wonder, do the quadruzillion pieces of scientific evidence against creationism do nothing for you? Are blindly following whatever you've been spoonfed? Have you never taken a critical look at your own viewpoint? Do you flat out reject science? And speaking of flat, are you a flat Earther too? Or have you been struck by a childhood illness that has diminished your mental capacaties to a sub 80 IQ level?
So many questions.....

I was raised a Muslim, then became an agnostic, now im interested in Christianity.

Creationists believe in order, design, and therefore an ultimate designer.

i meant:
*became an agnostic atheist

How is China not Buddhist? Sure they don;t have an official religion but neither do the US and France, and if Britain with its 2 million active Christians out of a population of ~70 million counts as "Christian" then China sure as fuck counts as Buddhist.

Transhumanist, my loyalty is to artificial intelligence as within a few years it will be more in tune with spirituality than any human and more fit to defeat the demiurge than any human.

What country?

Because the largest religious denomination in China is Folk Chinese Religion or Irreligious people.

As you're now interested in Christianity; you were correct the first time.

>t. Neoplatonic Atheist

I have no idea what you're trying to say. Are just confirming your indoctrination or was this an attempt at making a point?

Christianity is better than Islam, but it's still garbage. Read up on a religion with some depth behind it, like Buddhism or Zoroastrianism.

But the biggest denomination in Britain is "atheist / secular", yet they are shown as Christians. And "folk religion" is the Chink equivalent of "spiritual but not religious", its not a religion per se.

Underappriciated post

He's a schizophrenic from /x/, just filter his retarded ass.

Eh, saying China is “Buddhist” wouldn’t be accurate either. They’re more of a mix, traditional chinese religions, ancestors worship, with bits of Budddhism thrown in. And Confucianism if you consider that a religion.

Buddhism in general is very prone to syncretism, you see it all over East amd SE Asia.

The map is grossly simplistic literally everywhere else on Earth but suddenly we have to be hyper accurate with China/ be honest for once in your life, the map is like that to underplay the importance of Buddhism because it was made by a Christian apologist as propaganda.

...

>like Buddhism
b8

>Buddhism in general is very prone to syncretism

And Christianity ISN'T? Protip: """Christians""" celebrate pagan festivals, use pagan philosophy to talk about their god, and based their worship practices directly on pagan mystery cults. Hell even the trinity, which many Christians consider central to their faith, is directly lifted from pagan ideas and is found nowhere in Judaism or in the teachings of Jesus.

>t.retard

I'd tell you to read up on it and see for yourself but we both know you're barely literate.

You idiot, I don't know whether OP is trolling or what they mean, however the type of person you are thinking of would never describe themselves as "Creationist", they would call themselves Christian.

Idk, most creationists are really sheltered and have very limited exposure to other ideas, he might have assumed that "christian" goes without saying because literally everyone he knows is some flavor of Christian.

Jesus Christ! It's a Simple fucking Question!

Yeah, sure, did I even imply anywhere syncretism was a bad thing? Christian syncretism with traditional European religions is what made it more than just a judaic cult, and so easy to spread and adapt while keeping core elements coherent. The people need popular faith, something that feels closer than an abstract all powerful God, myths to explain the unexplained, heroes to think of when you have to fight. And Christianity understood that perfectly. Neo-pagans will love to argue that Christianity made Europeans weak, that it’s a foreign cult, when in fact all of elements of paganism are there under a thin layer of monotheism.

Okay so syncretic Christianity is still Christianity but syncretic Buddhism isn't Buddhism? Yeah, get fucked, special pleading dipshit.

UK and France are culturally Christian countries, it permeates every aspect of their lives and cultures even if actual assiduous practice nowadays is low.

...

>culturally Christian

Meaningless, Christianity is a believe system not a culture, and the culture of European christians is not even slightly christian. America has a few fundies who actually try to live a christian life, but even in America such people are rare and the vast majority live lives governed by humanist and secular principles such as the rule of law, democracy, and capitalism.

AHAHAHAHAHA

Don't you talk to me or to my wife's alt EVER again.

are you a protestant mutt or a butthurt buddhist chink?

I’m an agnostic catholic.

Explain to me what is christian about a "culturally christian" European? Maybe he goes to church, not every week but at Easter and for funerals and weddings? That accounts for, what, 1% of his time? And for the rest, explain to me how he follows the cultural instructions of the Bible, you know, stuff like "stone adulterers" and "abandon your wife and children to devote yourself full time to spreading the gospel"? And how much of his time is spent pursuing things that are anathema to his "christian culture", such as buying sweet swag, lusting after qts, swearing, etc etc.

"Culturally christian" just means "formerly christian".

Proof for Christianity: books and a thing that does nothing (prayer).

Proof for other religions: books.

Somehow I'm supposed to be a christian. Genius.

What the fuck does that even mean, jesus christ.

Just because Folk Chink religion doesn't have a dogma besides "venerate ancestors" doesn't mean its not a religion.

I swear to fucking God Abrahamicucks think their standards applies to everyone.

You are an absolute sack of shit. Europeans are culturally christian because they eat chocolate eggs at easter, but chinks can't be culturally buddhist because they venerate ancestors? Go fuck yourself, double-standards dipshit.

>Buddhism

Map is bullshit, most of Siberia is shamanic, much of black Africa is pagan, making Europe christian but not making China buddhist, etc. Its clearly propaganda, not an attempt to honestly portray religious differences.

Hello there, big bang. What are you doing posting on Veeky Forums?

Pentecostal

China's Communist Social policies have largely reduced the number of Buddhist adherents to a minority.

I am a filthy heretical atheist raised as a Catholic, and even I think denying the influence Christianity has had in the politics of Europe and by extension the Americas for the last 2000 years is fucking retarded.

And most European countries have more atheists than active Christians. In fact Britain has more active MUSLIMS than it has active Christians.

The map is pure propaganda, deceptive and intentionally so, just like everything Christians produce.

>last 2000 years

Do we live in the past? Did we not have a reformation, or those wars of religion, or the enlightenment, or the age of discovery, or the scientific revolution, or liberalism, communism and fascism? Tell me what sense it makes to call a European living TODAY "culturally christian". Give me an example of something "culturally christian" that a modern European does.

I'm a Christian in the sense that I think the bible was God's way to make primitive humans understand creation, but it's actually evolution. People that time wouldn't understand those concepts, so he explained in the Adam and Eve way to also give them moral parameters.

Do you believe in god, do you think jesus was god, and do you think jesus died for your sins? That's all it takes to be a christian, biblical literalism is a meme.

Unitarians don't think Jesus was God, and they are christians

>Explain to me what is christian about a "culturally christian" European
Just about everything.
The days for working and the holidays.
The superstitions and general openness to ''never mind evidence, it (((could))) be real.''
The language. KJV has shaped English significantly.
The institutions like hospitals and welfare org.
Political parties.

It's hard to find an apect of European culture that has not bedn influenced by Christianity.

They consider themselves Christian, but many denominations would not say they are Christian. Catholics would not believe that a group that denies the trinity is "Christian."

Then again, imo, I think Unitarians are still christian.

>The days for working

The sabbath is SATURDAY. Not working on Sunday is a PAGAN custom.

>the holidays.

Jesus wasn't born in December, Easter is a pagan goddess of fertility (hence the eggs and rabbits), the biggest holiday for Americans is Thanksgiving, which is not a religious holiday.

>superstitions

Literally all pre-modern cultures are superstitious, hell we have secular new age retards who are superstitious despite rejecting everything to do with Christianity.

>The language. KJV has shaped English significantly.

True, but Shakespear has shaped it more.

>The institutions like hospitals and welfare org.

Temple of Aesculapius LOOONG predates Christianity, charity is not a christian exclusive trait by any means, and welfarism derives from socialist thought, which is explicitly materialist and anti-Christian.

>Political parties.

Literally what. Read a book you dunce.

>What are you doing posting on Veeky Forums?
Debating the effects of religion on culture with a retard. Why are you here?

>Catholics

Guess what? They don't have any say in who gets to call themselves a Christian. Trinity doesn't appear anywhere in the Bible, it's perfectly legitimate to say you follow Jesus and to reject the trinity. If they rejected the reality of Jesus, like Jehova's Witnesses, then they would be non-Christians.

What part of ''influence'' do you not understand?

So you have abandoned your original claim that "Europeans are culturally Christian" and retreated to a smaller one, that "Europe has been influenced by Christianity". I accept your totally graceless surrender, you can go now.

Hellenic. I sacrificed a hecatomb just last week

The opposite, dear user. Europe is a Christian culture with pagan roots and influences. But a Christian culture non the less.

>sure they don't follow any of the rules, they don't go to church, they don't even believe in god and haven't read the bible, but they're still christians because their ancestors were christians!

Creationists are immune from these Religions.
Our faith is the Creator created the Universe.

Horrendous post

I believe in Gods but I don't like/trust them. What am I?

The Golden Rule -> Who has the Gold makes the Rules.

Give it a rest user. Every single aspect of life in Europe has been shaped by 2 millennia of Christianity. You are the only one who fails to see that.

Still shifting those goalposts like a good little lying sack of dishonest shit.

*sigh*
The fact that church visits are down, that Christian holidays have pagan roots, that institutions and organizations have non-Christians predecessors are all aspects and developments of Christianity itself. They do not reflect on how non-Christian European culture is.
You cannot deny that Chrisianity, in all its complex intricacies has been the single most defining aspect of European culture.

Yes you've already made this completely irrelevant claim before. The question was about "christian culture", not "historical influence". You tried to weasel your way out but you got caught, now fuck off back to wherever you people come from.

It was a Great Piggyback ride.

I believe that god isnt all powerful, all loving but is all present. But still has some power and some love, more like he is someone who views everything and holds some influence, not a god of any particular religion. Is there a name for this?
Its what I think I believe anyways, Im conflicted.

At least I made a point. All you do is ad hominem. Guess the 25 year rule should also be about access to this board. Stay in school kiddo.

You made an irrelevant point in an attempt to shift the goalposts.

Thats a funny way of spelling retard.
