Example: I believe that IP is a direct contradiction of nature, sacrificing the advancement of humanity and the world for selfish gain, and therefore is sinful.
Edit: pls do not downvote the comments this is a constructive discussion

Edit3: sort by controversal
I have EDS and am medically angry nearly all of the time, it is in my fucking profile. It is a burden for me to mask my coms style and frankly anyone who expects it is too thin skinned to be worth talking to anyway. Using my response to justify your persistent bigotry is entirely you my friend and I can guarantee you that I am not like anyone you have ever spoken to before.
I too was born Catholic, Catechism and everything, and became an atheist at age 14, then an anti-theist at 20.
There is literally no argument you can make that I haven’t already made better
And at 30 I had an experience that profoundly changed my perspective and I abandoned my childish atheism and have been a gnostic Christian ever since.
Every one of my past arguments were laid bare for what they were: Justifications for me to continue to live a life that I desired, instead of the life my creator made me for.
I would truly enjoy a spirited debate with atheists, and I have tried to have such since before the internet had pictures, but sadly I haven’t found more than a clumsy shopkeeper’s handful of you that could maintain intellectual honesty for more than 3 posts.
Wait a second… gnostic like in Gnostic? I didn’t know it was still a thing. I thought they had you all killed by the other Christians in the 2nd century.
Not completely, there were holdouts in Ethiopia and Iraq but the writings survived and are only more applicable today.
Point of order: In my case the supposedly heretical sect label happened to apply but when most Christians use lowercase ‘g’ gnostic they are referring to the fact that they have certainty that God exists via inner secret knowledge.
While that does hold true for the myriad of sects labeled as ‘Gnostic’, there is a ton more conceptual dogma that is not considered true by most lowercase ‘g’ gnostics
Not that any of you heathens really care.
