Biblical wisdom mostly. Certain parts definitely don’t hold up to modern morality, but there is a lot well-thought-out advice buried in it that has helped people in Judeo-Christian areas for thousands of years.
One of the Proverbs in particular comes to mind: “He who walks with the wise grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm.” Hard to argue against the inherent wisdom in such a statement.
Also, like you, I have an appreciation for old churches and some religious art.
I wouldn’t want to be reincarnated to earth, but reincarnated to a fantasy world with magic might be nice to try out. My biggest hangup with reincarnation is not bringing the wisdom of hard learned lessons with.
“Jesus H Christ” always made me smirk not sure why. Like Christ was his last name or something.
There is a sequel but it failed to capture the spirit of the first one. I think it used to be free on their website.
Also, when I watched it a few years back, they were working on a TV series but I am not sure if it ever got off the ground.
Your parents signed you up for it.
For that matter Zuckerberg and the exec from Tik Tok are both walking free.
Can we please keep anything I don’t like or agree with it off of lemmy?
That includes: boiled eggs, boiled spinach, and anyone with a number in their user name.
Thank you everyone!
Meh… I would bet most Christians ascribe to the same sort of philosophy that my pastor did back when I was in high school. He always said, “I don’t know if there are aliens out there, but if there are they need Jesus too.”
It’s a bit silly, but he was also a creationist. If he could be fine with aliens but not evolution, I imagine the same is true for most other religious people.
I created my lemmy.world account first, but I like the site name for sh.itjust.works so I have one there too.
More than just, I have accounts on 3 of those 10.
Hmm I like this but maybe I will do one for each mood I am in.
While this is encouraging, I wonder how many users have multiple active accounts, like I do.
How does it feel to be on the same side as most preachers and weekly church-goers?
Few things drives them more nuts than people who call themselves Christians and don’t even attempt to be followers of Christ. Trying and failing is one thing, and always an embarrassment to the church, but living like the worst dregs of society, while using that name, is worse than an intentional smear campaign.
