      If you don’t have any actual scholarly interest in Operating Thetans, then you aren’t prepared for any discussion involving Scientology.

          lol as if you’re qualified to say they don’t exist without knowing the lore. Educate yourself.

            I notice you didn’t actually address the core point of your automatic dismissiveness. How about put your big boy pants on and stop trying to meme your way out of this.

                My mistake for thinking there could be meaningful discourse on the internet these days.

                Come to my sub where I can shout at you properly.

                  Meaningful discourse? Like when you tell people they make you sick simply because they pointed out that Christianity can be (and mostly is) a negative influence on progressive causes? Good for you if you are a socially progressive Christian, but no need to hate on other people just because they have a different imaginary friend, or none at all.

                    Christianity can be (and mostly is) a negative influence on progressive causes?

                    that’s only because your perspective of Christians is formed by conservative evagelicals acting badly on purpose to make the news.

                    I can argue for like 45 minutes why Christianity is literally the most progressive Abrahamic religion but none of you care because your assumption is already made and years of experience has proven you will not budge on it no matter what. So I don’t bother to cure your ignorance.

                    but no need to hate on other people just because they have a different imaginary friend, or none at all.

                    You haven’t read any of my posts in this thread then because I have repeatedly stated that his doesn’t matter and just like every other edgelad you come with assumptions that no objective data will change.

      It doesn’t seem like religion has made you very happy. Or very nice. I get that your username includes angry, and you seem to take that very seriously.

      It also seems like you’re not very different from the people you claim are co-opting religion. You are cherry-picking the parts of Christianity that work well for you, while ignoring or downplaying the rest.

      I know you’re not going to change your mind, but this approach certainly isn’t doing much to try and convert anyone.
