@Eightfour I do! I bloody love it - we love a song along in the car to it 😄

This is my favourite verse:

Fuck me Sam, what are the odds
That of history's endless parade of gods
That the God you just happened to be taught to believe in
Is the actual one and he digs on healing?
But not the AIDS-ridden African nations
Nor the victims of the plague, nor the flood-addled Asians
But healthy, privately-insured Australians
With common and curable corneal degeneration

Sums it up beautifully 😄

I do actually believe in evolution and stuff. I know that probably stops me qualifying as a True Fundie though. Smile A Priest said to me that after all we don't know how long one of God's days is. Smile

Yup. You're a heathen if you don't believe Genesis is literal.

Nope. You're not alone.

I raise my hands in praise and worship, speak in tongues and have seen a friend's physical healing of a long standing disability.

It makes me laugh when people bang on about 'biblical femininity" because it has next to nothing in common with how Jewish women of the bible lived.

Eightfour · 15/02/2024 00:53

@Notjustyousis - genuinely interested to understand your beliefs around your friends long standing disability.

Do you believe God made your friend disabled and then healed them? If so for what purpose? As a test?

If God was not responsible for the disability then who was/is? Why was your friend healed but others aren’t?

Oneofthesurvivors · 15/02/2024 00:53

Also, I grew up in a fundamentalist church. It was extremely traumatising.

kittensinthekitchen · 15/02/2024 00:55

Oh, you're trying on Fundamentalism this week? Nice.

Are you the same poster who thinks books are evil? If not, there’s at least one other on here somewhere.

Edited

Yes - apparently so!

Eightfour · 15/02/2024 01:00

I assume there is one book they don’t find evil? Otherwise they really have gone off piste.

Eh?

Is this a person who likes dressing up as furry animals

Are you trying to convert us OP

Actual fundies hate priests.

I remember that one of my favourite Ian Paisley conspiracy theories was that the yugoslavian war was faked by the Vatican to help the Muslims take over Bosnia and Serbia.

Oblomov23 · 15/02/2024 02:46

Funny thread.
I didn't even know what a Fundie was! I had to look it up. A fundamentalist christian. Who knew?

Laughed at :

"Are they related to cunties?"
"Is this about headscarves?"

GrinGrin Tee-hee.

What is this all about Abby Shapiro?

not the sister of Ben? the highly intelligent, fabulous Jewish Ben Shapiro? Wink Because he is fantastic, and I won't have a word said against him!

Oblomov23 · 15/02/2024 02:54

@Eightfour

Abby Shapiro?

TheBunyip · 15/02/2024 05:51

I’m a bit addicted to fundiesnark on Reddit and can’t turn away. It’s a mixture of horror and fascination. Mostly horror.

Cherryana · 15/02/2024 06:01

Is this question so you can find your tribe or prove you are not like the other girls?

You must realise this makes no sense. So GOD made your friend disabled ( for shits and giggles?) and then some dude fixed it. Did you tithe for that by any chance?

Gatekeeper · 15/02/2024 06:43

Nevee mind all the biblical stuff OP @porridgeisbae did you get yer hair sorted?

Iwouldlikesomecake · 15/02/2024 07:20

I mean you’re super rude and that’s not the Christianity I know.

Brawcolli · 15/02/2024 07:38

Hopefully yes!

solidarityname · 15/02/2024 07:42

Generally, the bible is a pretty good framework for life. You can't go too wrong with the 10 commandments
It has absolutely no concept of women’s rights and hardly touches on human rights. The Old and New Testament are ok with slavery.

I like to think we now have better moral
codes to guide us. Hell, our own UK laws are a vast improvement on what’s in the Bible.
