What does faith mean to you? (lemm.ee)
 

After reading/having so many discussions about religion on Reddit and elsewhere on the internet, it's clear to me that faith means different things to different people. (Especially between theistic and atheistic communities)

So now I'm curious, how would you define "faith" and what is your relationship with it?

Are there any Christian communities on lemmy that you like? in c/[email protected]

I'm trying to get a general religion community started at /c/[email protected] if you want to join. It's for all discussion and news relevant to religion, but obviously it'll inevitably end up being mostly about Christianity if it gets as popular as r/religion

I'm also trying to get /c/[email protected] started if you're interested in more critical discussion. I'm always willing and eager to talk religion on either community :3

Edit: Apparently I don't know how to link communities... Test religion, test debate.

If Satan had written his morality on your heart rather than God, would you then say Satan was good/benevolent instead? (lemm.ee)
 

Inspired by the debate between Matt Dillahunty and Jordan Peterson.

Having "In God We Trust" on our currency (and in some US states, in our schools) is a violation of the concept of separating church and state, and should be removed. (lemm.ee)

Not much explanation needed for this one, but I will leave an article discussing the part about schools being required to display "In God we trust"

What do you believe, and why? (lemm.ee)
 

Guess I'll get things started here! Tell me what you believe about the creation of the universe, and any god(s) that may be out there. But most importantly, let's hear why you believe it!

The Bible could not have been written or divinely inspired by an omnibenevolent god. (lemm.ee)
 

I guess I will kick things off here:

An omnibenevolent god would never condone and regulate the enslavement of your fellow man. Therefore, the Old Testament contradicts the claim that The Bible was written or divinely inspired by an omnibenevolent god.
