What happened with Islam would be as if immediately after Christ's death, all twelve Apostles (and a few liars claiming to have been Apostles) would have all started up their own sects and immediately started murdering each other for centuries.
They had the big advantage of having rival Messiah cults to rally around to demolish. A documented one that likely is the source of Lucifer being one of the names of the devil specifically comes from a similar Messianic movement from that time: the Luciferians, who claimed their guy was the Son of El as well. On top of that it is thought that Barabbas, the murderer, may have been another Messiah claimant.
I'm most reminded of the time Saint Nick beat a man to near death with his fists for having a hot take on the nature of Christ's divinity being slightly different than his own Chalcedonian take.
Not just any heretic, but Arius, the man who Arianism was named for. He merely slapped him, but that was from a hagiography 1000 years after the fact.
Wikipedia is the last place anyone should go to get information about religion. I have gotten a lot of bad information about Christianity from there, and you have to consider that a twelve-year-old child could edit Wikipedia (was that way back in the day, not too sure about now). The arrogance of atheists telling Christians "I know everything about your religious beliefs after a thirty second glance at a Wikipedia article about the denomination of the church you attend" is absurd. Plus, those sorts of people do not even bother to read the Bible itself.
I'm an atheist and found the meme funny.
That's just whataboutism. It's positions of influence in general, since it gives you access to people to hurt.
The constant heresy and blasphemy from the left is really exhausting
It's unreal that people like this still exist online. This looks like it was taken from a time machine from 2011-2012, and posting shit like this was still cringe as fuck even back then.
What's even more pathetic about it is that a lot of these people are well into their 30's and acting like obnoxious teenagers. Likely mentally stunted people spamming this tripe all over the pages of Christians on social media... why, exactly? What do they seek to achieve by just spamming nastygrams and laughing reacts on people's pages day in and day out?
Plain & simple: validation, most of these types are the same ones that resented their religious parents to the point of ruining what could have been a good or stable relationship with them, then they also made themselves unlikable to the general public with their new atheist era stunts (ya'll remeber crackergate, blasphemy day or the infamous "ridicule them" proclamation at the reason rally?), now they only have themselves as a result , for me the worst part is that these types are sometimes middle aged people with PHDs that instead of contributing to society they do the opposite acting like total asses on social media
"Acckhualy this beautiful architecture and marvel of musical engineering were designed to scare the retard peasants who built them!"
It wouldn't surprise me if he wants to pick fights with people to make himself "feel good".
Not to mention that the vast majority of these insufferable morons jumped headfirst into gender woo. Go to any skeptics(™) convention and say there are only two sexes.
Don’t forget that there are way more pedos in the public school system (for obvious reasons) yet these types act like they don’t exist because being pro-public education is predominantly a leftist cause. They also ignore the fact that a lot of the pedo priests they bloviate about are homos too.
Trust is the absolute last thing science is about. That's literally missing the entire point of science. I guess if you've replaced God with science, you would mindlessly worship it.
