A place for the finest of dank christian memes to simmer.

This community isn't inherently religious, but don't be an ass to religious people. There's a fine line between poking fun at religion and being an ass to someone because of (or lack of) religious beliefs. Don't cross that line.

Other than that, just follow the lemmy.blahaj.zone instance rules.

If this flag offends you, I'll help you pack:

Respectfully, that's a load of bullshit and not how that works.

I would strongly advise you to read. Matthew 19 to Matthew 22. Organized religion tends to have this thing where they add bullshit rules constantly to the the actual story.

The direct quotes from Jesus himself, especially in Matthew 21. Paint a very different picture than organized religion would tell you.

In short it doesn't matter if you live a overly pious and spiritual life and constantly put on that image, in fact it's worthless. What matters is the acts and deeds you do. How you treat others.

NIV Just then a man came up to Jesus and asked, "Teacher, what good thing must I do to get eternal life?"

"Why do you ask me about what is good?" Jesus replied. "There is only One who is good. If you want to enter life, keep the commandments."

"Which ones?" he inquired. Jesus replied, " ‘You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony,

honor your father and mother,’ and ‘love your neighbor as yourself.’ "

"All these I have kept," the young man said. "What do I still lack?"

Jesus answered, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me."

When the young man heard this, he went away sad, because he had great wealth.

Then Jesus said to his disciples, "Truly I tell you, it is hard for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven.
