/christianity/ - Christian Theology & Philosophy

Consider this: Mormons (members of The Church of Jesus Christ) know the Bible better than any other Christian religion: https://www.pewforum.org/2010/09/28/u-s-religious-knowledge-survey/

Also, data is clear that they are also much better at living the principles of the Bible, including observing the Sabbath Day, living a morally superior lifestyle to other Christian sects.

How then can any Christian make the assertion that "Mormons are not Christian"? It feels like an immature child throwing a temper tantrum.

Yeah, they. Stahp.

I was introduced to this behaviour at age 10, by my cousin who was 4 years older than me "went out of his way to do this to me manually" and convinced me it was okay because of my naiveity, surprise, surprise, he is an openly gay man, im scarred from this and the last 20 years the majority of my thoughts are about thinking of womens anatomy

Creator of /christian/ here. Every few months or year or so I look up what's happened to the board, and it's very cool that someone made this, it's pretty much what I've been looking for. I'm not active on any imageboard anymore, and found this thread from searching something very close to the thread subject. I think that maybe someone would find my perspective on this interesting. As a disclaimer, I won't be commenting on the "ethical" character of other board owners or mods or anything, basically because I never knew them aside from the two mods I originally put in place.

I started going on 4chan in 2009 when I was 13 (a friend on facebook who I never met posted funny photo albums and had things that referenced 4chan), and was on /b/, then /x/ and /lit/, /news/(if that's what it was called) and /pol/ once it was remade. My use of 4chan declined gradually over the years, but I was still looking at it everyday for quite some time. I actually became a Christian in January of 2014, from, in an Earthly sense, online material not from any imageboard (if anyone remembers the Christian threads on /pol/ Zimmerman trial era, those weren't what did it.)

I got to 8chan because of the pretty monumental gamergate drama, which I was honestly only passively interested in after a couple weeks, as I had hardly played video games by that point for at least a year or two (still never picked it back up), and could never keep up with the details of the whole thing. There was the "exodus", and I really liked the idea of 8chan, with all of the excitement of something new and all of the endless little boards that I spent a lot of time going on; small literary boards, writing, secret boards, ones made for small groups of people, etc. I was out of /pol/ in an ideological sense by September of 2014, and I think it's important to remember that 8chan didn't have anywhere near as much stigma as it does today. 8chan's /pol/ was pretty much straight up National Socialist if I recall correctly (and it had like 5 long stickies on the front page which I thought was funny), but otherwise the website was defined by gamergate and free speech. Within a few days of me learning about 8chan, I decided to make /christian/ by myself, without a ton of thought, but I hoped that it would grow. I thought that it probably wouldn't go anywhere, since I had noPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

I was active on a lot of boards anonymously, mostly small ones, and stayed away from /pol/ and the gamergate stuff. Other than a few scattered posts on long dead boards, I think you could see my posts as Alex. on the 8chan meta from 2014-to maybe early 2016. I was primarily concerned with keeping the board clean from pornography and gore and very blatant trolling, and since it was quite small, wasn't too worried about any precedent I was setting, and figured it would stay small, so it wouldn't be an issue. I intended it to be pretty informal I suppose, and *not* a church or anything, so I wasn't too concerned with policing discourse except for things that weren't Christian. I was actually concerned that a lot of irreligious people would turn it into a sort of "here's why Christianity is wrong" battleground, but that never really materialized. The first non trolling "threat" that I had to decide what to do with was the "Positive Christianity" stuff, which was basically Nazis interpreting Christianity through Nazism, and since I knew a lot of those people were on /pol/ I didn't want to have the board slide into that.

I was happy to see the board grow, and was surprised at how much it took off and managed to not just turn into a far-right /pol/ replica. A couple of notes of trivia would be that I remember the owner of /islam/ wishing us Merry Christmas, a guy named smiely from the asatru board offering a board skin that I didn't accept (but appreciated the offer), and me offering to co-admin a debate board with the owner of the atheism board, /atheist/ or /atheism/, which he declined, as he was fine having that stuff on his board. Also, I had nothing to do with the IRC or the twitter that apparently exists. I posted on the IRC a couple of times, though.

The first bit of "drama" that came about was me getting two moderators, one named Seminaranon and another named Fr. Milch, I think. The first was a Lutheran seminary student in the Midwest and the other was a Catholic, who I think was from Germany. I was 18 and a senior in high school at the time, and had to get up pretty early to drive to school, which meant that I had to go through the report queue every morning as the board was Post too long.

Most people who were giving it the benefit of doubt realized it was just another splinter-group of modern leftism in practice.

Preaching the same things but with a mildly upset tone about the actual end-result of their preaching as if that somehow changes anything.

Didn't help that people from these type of boards went on one of the select few places on the internet, and in the entire west, where you can argue against the status quo merely in order to preach the exact same core dogma of the status quo; that native europeans should give up their thousands of years old homelands and collective resources to hand over both to their oppressors for X, Y and Z arbitrary reasons. (some were even duplicitous about it, stating ambiguous views over there while haranguing them the second they popped onto discord or old 8ch)

Aside from those who already believe Christ is the way, net-christians aren't telling them anything they haven't already heard from secular anti-porn, anti-abortion and anti-white advocates at this point.

That's my view at least, as a lurker who gave people on here the benefit of the doubt very early on back on 4ch pol and actually argued against the anti-christians before seeing the same old two-faced selectively tribal gaslighting once on here.

At first, I was attracted to Christianity. Then I was puzzled by many decisions made by the church.

After seeing videos about "new world order", I started to see the whole image and was appalled.

Doesn't this logic mean that Whites were not ever intended to live in the American Continent?

>White people are Israelites from the 10 lost tribes of Israel. We shouldn't mix with non-Israelites.
