What’s an active Christian?

Anonymous #1 7w

I believe Christ is in the Eucharist, I believe in Papal infallibility, I believe in the intersession of the saints, ect. Protestants entire belief system is why they aren’t Catholic and why Catholics are bad. Take this from a Yankee who’s doing a PhD in the south, they’re insufferable (from a Catholic perspective). Now, someone who believes in Christ but is eh about church and stuff, they might be willing to convert. My mom was a Lutheran and converted to raise me under one religion.

If you’re luke warm about your religion then it’s fine and will work. If you have strong convictions in it like I do then it just never will. I was literally texting a Baptist girl a couple months back and even over text, she wouldn’t capitalize the M for Mother Mary. If you have such blatant disrespect for my beliefs then we’re done before we start.

Someone who goes to church on a weekly basis and makes Christianity part of their daily life. The type of person who thanks God when someone beats cancer and not the doctors that gave them medicine

When someone doesn’t beat cancer, do you also blame the doctors for failing them?

Yeah. I can get along and be friends with people of almost any belief, but for a partner the question is “Is this someone I could raise kids with?”, and if we do not have closely aligned values then that’s probably going to be a no.

No, because the doctors still treated them. They still gave them medicine and spent much time and care on that patient. God has the power to cure any illness, doctors don’t. I believe that if God has the power to heal people I don’t see why he wouldn’t.

You don’t see why he wouldn’t and that’s fair, but do you think you know more than he does if he exists too? Like it couldn’t be that there’s a reason he sees in his infinite wisdom that you in your limited mortal experience do not?

I’d like to know what infinite wisdom justifies things like a child having to watch one of their parents suffer from a mortal illness in a hospital bed, bc it must be some shit that will save humanity when aliens invade. And at that point, you’re asking people to have a blind faith in a higher power with zero signs that it exists. Has god ever gave you or anyone in this modern time a signal that he’s watching? That he knows what people go through and that he has a plan?

I mean I don’t have infinite wisdom either, so I’m afraid I can’t give you that. But IF something did have infinite wisdom, and I know that I don’t, then wouldn’t a reasonable person logically expect for them to make decisions that I personally don’t understand or agree with? Now I agree with you, choosing to believe there’s a bigger picture I don’t see is an act of faith. But it’s not blind faith, it’s the net result of my entire life’s worth of lived experiences.

I would say God has given me plenty of signs in this time that he exists. And my life has not been perfect, plenty of shit has gone wrong. But if it hadn’t, I wouldn’t be where I’m at today. You can choose to write all of it off as coincidence, and that’s fine. But I’d argue it takes more faith to believe that it all happened by accident than by design.

I feel like I would have too many clashes of opinion with a devout christian, and don’t see how they would be with me without feeling obligated to try to convert me. I generally find halfhearted christians more insufferable though, because they either don’t understand their own faith, or somehow don’t care enough about something that should be central to their lives if they actually believe it
