Bible Fandom - Zoomers rediscover western canon

[Tablet County]

Every generation after the creation of social media and smartphones is a lost cause and each worse than the last. 2007 is the year the end began.

I'd say it started with that Elvis twerp. Society's been downhill ever since him and those Beatles geeks got the kids shaking their hips with their devil music.

2007 is the year the end began.

If there's ever a total collapse, at least a "silver lining" is that "smartphone" services and "social media" could become unusable.

I thought this was the Bibble fandom?

Isn't Muhammad the guy with underage brides.

So is abrahamic God

All the abrahamic religions have a massive child marriage problem.

I thought this thread could be about the fandom of "The Perry Bible Fellowship" comics.

(the comics that started the "weeaboo" and "skub" memes)

But Mormons like Welpie also think Jesus is not God, and they don't get nearly as much shit from Westerners because of it.

LDS believe there's 3 gods in the Godhead, so while Christ is God to LDS, they believe the Father and the Son are separate beings.

(both of which have physical yet immortal bodies in LDS belief BTW)

Sounds severely heretical. As a monotheism enjoyer, this shit is not monotheism at all.

 

[ToroidalBoat]

not monotheism at all

LDS beliefs are definitely not monotheistic: they teach that a man who lives LDS teachings is granted godhood (which is called "exaltation"), and that God was once mortal.

My generation is retarded, but this is Gen Alpha retarded. Yes, among ourselves we make the distinction because some of us are getting told we are old now.

Christianity is not monotheist.
Mormonism doesn't give a shit about monotheism. It's openly polytheist and proud of it. The based interpretation of the Trinity.

I've never denied any of this. In fact it's a core tenant. The FATHER sent his SON to die for us. I don't know bro, seems pretty separate to me

Arianism is the name of that doctrine. Was common in ancient Egypt and northern Europe, is also present in several other Restorationist sects (Jehovah's Witnesses are one).

I don't know that the Mormon authorities ever really clarified this, but I think the general interpretation is that there's a sort of branching and cyclical nature to creation. The Mormon concept of the soul is that it is gendered and they, essentially, reproduce sexually, not necessarily in the sense of being tied to a physical sex act, but that by definition is what two things combining to make copies of themselves is. It's implied that the cycle of reproduction is attached to a cycle of world creation, a world per god. It makes a very interesting contrast to the the static and cyclical views of other religions.

I feel you're getting at it but it's more simple also: why are we here? Just to suffer? Or to become something more? Surely God had a point to this whole earth thing than dying over and over. Our view of it is that it is a test. Some will pass, some will fail. Some will become like Him and start the cycle again. God loves all of us all the same. In the end, he wishes us to be happy. It's up to us to make the most of it while we still have time.

There should definitely be more high quality cartoons covering the Bible stories for kids and teens. Christians (or I guess specifically Thomists) have the tradition of Scholasticism and High Art, so they should be excelling at creating media like this, but it hasn’t happened for moving pictures yet.

The 50s Hollywood Biblical epics and Dreamworks cartoons come close, but these are Jewish creations with Jewish undertones.

In b4 some 14-year-old draws Jesus like this and receives death threats for "white-washing".

(Depicting Jesus as black is fine though)

A bit offtopic, but this showed up in my feed today. Can't stop laughing.
