I probably can’t give you a link since you probably don’t use the same RSS/iTunes puller client, but I believe it should be on whatever podcast client you do use.
Christians in the modern world conceive of God in entirely different ways than the original Christians did, and the host of the podcast is a Christian biblical scholar.
…John never met Jesus and his account was written decades after the 3 synoptics. There is also question if he even has access to the 3 synoptics or was just working off 1, or even just portions of one, seeing that his timeline does not follow what the 3 synoptics agree on.
Data over dogma is a really great podcast. I think you would find it interesting.
So, in the case of Native Americans, as part of the genocide inflicted upon them, their religions were outlawed and they were overwhelmingly forced into Christianity. They did not regain the right to practice their historic religions until 1971.
Perhaps his native religion did worship demons, but the vast majority of of Natives did not have conceptions of demons, and many of their religions predate Christianity. If they did worship demons, the only person to blame for that is God, the father himself, for choosing to not reveal his message to them until after the 1600s at the earliest.
In my mind, if your conception of the supernatural is correct, Chief shoefoot simply traded one trickster god (demons) for another one.
I’m also not interested in what the forger John had to say.
Yes, people of all varieties can convert to Christianity. That doesn’t mean all other faiths are demonic.
I would say my line of thought is that it is good enough to say, “I was wrong and the people who practice yoga are wrong.”
That should be good enough. Instead, it always comes down to “people of different cultures who practice a different religion are in league with demons.”
Jesus never once told these people to engage in bigotry.
Well Jesus has revealed to me that you lack critical thinking skills. He says it isn’t an intelligence thing, he says you are doing it willfully, because you care more about a perception of saving others over truth.
It’s funny, because no matter what, Jesus always seems to agree with the person using his name, doesn’t he?
Yes, you have explained how the bot posted it, but if a bot posts something an idiot says that is clearly not true, you aren’t forced to believe it because you are Christian. That is not one of the orders Christ gave to mankind, is it?
I suspect I am talking with a bot actually because nothing in this last response has anything to do with what I said.
I like that anybody can say anything and you automatically believe them without evidence as long as they say the magic words, “I am a Christian.”
You will be separated from your money unless you start having higher standards for accepting people’s claims.
So you have realized more about yoga by the very fact that you trust the woman in this video than 99.9% of people who have ever practiced it?
That’s illogical.
To your first point, are you saying you think people who practice yoga as part of their faith know less about the practice than a small cluster of white Christian women?
That’s my concern: a few hundred people are saying absolutely insane and bigoted things for attention (or possibly just mental illness) and you are choosing to believe them solely on the basis that they claim they are now Christian.
There is close to a billion people currently living who practice yoga. They aren’t making these claims. What, beyond sharing a religion with these hundred or so people, makes you believe a word they say despite being anomolies within the data?
This may be the dumbest thing I have ever seen linked to on Lemmy, and that’s saying a lot when 80% of the users are lgbt with a Stalin fetish.
When you download a podcast client, just go to the search bar and type in data over dogma. I am sure they have a patreon as well. Many people post directly to there but I haven’t used the service.
