A House Divided
For a unified body, the church has an awful lot of divisions, disagreements and doctrinal "don'ts." In this short video, we explore "A House Divided."

Man, this hit it on the nose. Whoever made this video obviously grew up in the church because it is all spot on as far as the schisms go.

I have to say one thing. After being brought up in that environment, and going through a serious self -valuation phase I can honestly say that i derived a significant amount of good things from the biblical teachings because i payed attention and tried to figure out what Jesus was getting at:

Almost everyone gets hung up on the bullshit and doesnt actually read the meat and potatoes of the Bible which is:

Don't be a douche

Don't exploit people

Money sucks, it will corrupt you

Forgive Damn-it!

Love your enemy

TRY to ALWAYS love EVERYONE (impossible but try at least).

Funny how you never see anyone try to teach this method. Especially not the church. Im sure the first thing Jesus would do if he came back would be to roundhouse kick the pope in the face.

Re: A House Divided
Unfortunately, most church memebers seem to have a severe form of selective amnesia, forgetting the good parts but remembering the ambigous bad parts of the bible...

"Though shall not kill" looses it's touch when people chant "He's dissadent! Kill him!"

Re: A House Divided
Don't they all agree that God exists and that there's only one true god? But, yeah, they can't make up their minds as to what that god is, so in the end they're all doing God knows what.

Re: A House Divided
The funniest part is that Lincoln didn't originate the saying, "a house divided against itself can not stand - that was first spoken by none other than Jesus H. Christ himself.

He was a smart man. The fact that 99.9% of Christians ignore nearly everything he said is all the evidence anyone should need to dismiss the idea that religion even remotely represents any kind of "truth" at all. It's then a short step to concluding that there's not likely to be a god behind any of it.

Re: A House Divided
In addition to believing in a God, I also believe in a devil. What better way to prevent people from finding God then to create mass confusion. Factor in hypocrisy and no wonder atheism is on the rise.

Re: A House Divided
That is a good question, why somebody becomes an atheist, the devil made them do it?

In some cultures the devil is a man, with curly hair and awful shoes to cover his misshapen hoofed feet, seeking other mens souls by words, trickery and promisees. Sounds like a lot of noways preachers, has anyone been checking out their footwear?

Re: A House Divided
It's interesting to hear the details, but do most people really not know that Protestant Christians are so divided in their beliefs?

Re: A House Divided
its funny how these videos on M&C always are followed by pro-christian ads on the side =)

Re: A House Divided
That's funny. I noticed an anti-religion ad, but you're right: it's often misplaced ads, like when one of us M&Cookiers sends in something exposing Scientology (all or most of us here loathe that crap) and then next to the video there's this free offer of thetan exorcism or something. Hahah.

*ducks (are yummy)*

(These Scientology folks can be downright mean. But I don't think they'll kill (or, worse, kill) me. After all, I read L. Ron Hubbard stuff, and the guy is a hoot.)

Re: A House Divided
Change the second 'kill' into 'torture,' of course. I can't see why being killed is worse than being killed.
