Darklady Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 The authority's Complaints Board said the church had presented its religious beliefs in evangelical healing as an absolute fact, rather than opinion,and had to remove them ... and so they should http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11283199 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aries256 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 well other churches should be forced to remove some of the many other signs that proclaim opinion as fact. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pawn Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Some of the offensive and ridiculous signs I see near the street on church property make me want to throw a rock through the sign or drive my truck into it. I live in the south, and there are fucking stupid church signs everywhere! Most of them say the most ignorant, idiotic stuff you can imagine! And they put it up on their signs as if it were 100% fact, when its almost always just ignorant opinions that are totally unfactual. I think i'll put up a sign in my yard, saying, "christians are idiots that still believe in santa claus!"...except somebody would probably shoot me, since most christians around here are usually judgemental, gun-toting pricks.

Leo Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 What's interesting about these big fat faith healer types? Even when we went to the pentecostal glossolalia floppoflailia churches, I used to secretly read the apologetics from the Baptists, D. James Kennedy Presbyterians, independents and others who didn't believe in modern miracles and generally exposed a whole shit ton of crazy stuff from the floppoflailia movement that I never saw, usually because I didn't go often to the prayer meetings unless She really wanted me to go. You gotta remember, I'm a blind dude, so I couldn't actually SEE the "miracles" happening, so I justified my backdoor apologetics mining from that angle. Anyway, those kind, the anti-miracles apologetics kind, they would agree with us here. The floppoflails don't have any writings that support the miracle claims, only a shit ton of Bible verses like they all have for whatever they want, but never a rationalist argument like their 'bretheren' from other groups. Now, if we could just get them Baptists and Catholics and those to just apply the same skepticism they already have against modern miracles, back a couple thousand years ... they would become like us.
