Is there any proof these groups are anything more than LARPers
Which Catholic doctrine? Genuinely curious.
More than likely deists like the founding fathers were. Buncha intellectuals
Do you condemn Christianity because of the people or the book? Because the people dont make the religion, your own faith does. It seems like your experience of people has informed your reading of the book and your faith. If you had difficulties with other people, I won't shed crocodile tears, but I'll wish you the best.
And what a world without these things shows a God exists? Without pain and suffering there isn't joy happiness, all the senses are muted and we gain and lose nothing. This doesn't refute or deny God, only that how God functions is still unknown. We only know evil by name and not by nature anyhow.
It's the promised land of the old covenant, which was broken
Thank you Jew goblin for your enlightening comment
Valid. Though it's more the effect of sex that drives the plot, not the performance itself.
Violence and action do drive plot. They can build character and be narratively cathartic. Sex in movies does not do that because sex is a subjective experience between two people.
Because one of John Wicks main reasons for existing is choreographed violence? And the violence is sort of character building in the way it shows John Wick's skill as a killer. There is a case to be made here where sex is sort of superfluous, because unlike John Wick, choreographed sex generally does not contribute to story beats unless it's a porno. And there's nothing unhealthy about being uncomfortable watching an intimate moment unless your porn addled brain has made you desensitizes to sex.
I'm not entirely sure why this sub's surety of beliefs is based on criticizing other religions', instead of propounding how their beliefs could be better for society. Unless there is some elusive reason no religion in society is better than any system of faith.
