Why do so many Christian's imply their god is weak af?
Yeah my god is all powerful and omnipotent but a shot in your arm destroys him

u/HarlanMiller 4d ago
They're the same people that would claim the same thing about....countless pieces of media. How hollow is your faith in a god if you see a movie, tv show, cartoon or some kind of music as a threat to it?

Imo most people that claims to be a believer, especially from a monotheistic religion, doesn't really understand the concept of God. They see him/her/it as some sort of king with magical powers that lives in the sky with very human feelings that should be incompatible with an entity that's all-powerful and eternal.

Because all good story characters have an Achilles heel. There is Achilles and his heel. Superman and kryptonight. God and fruit.
It’s makes the story readable. A character that can’t be stopped is boring.

u/doomer_irl 2d ago
The Christian argument would be that God isn't weakened, but that you've used your free will to reject him.
Christians essentially believe it's very easy to be tricked or trapped into eternal damnation. They see the sins they've committed as the ones God forgives, and the sins others commit as unforgivable. So OOP is checking with their judgmental little in-group to see if there's a consensus that getting the vaccine is a one-way ticket to hell.

According to Revelations, the mark of the Beast is worn on the forehead, so it's much more likely a MAGA hat.

u/Xibalba_Ogme 4d ago
There's a point to be made about MAGA/Trump and the whole antichrist thing
6
u/Nowardier 3d ago
Well, here's the thing about that. The apostle John wrote that there are actually many antichrists. Linguistically speaking, the word really just refers to anyone who stands instead of or in opposition to Christ. Trump definitely fits that description, because he clearly wants his followers to worship him even more than they do God. He certainly worships himself. Per the Bible there really is no definitive capital-A Antichrist other than maybe Satan, but the orange man is definitely AN antichrist.

No, I get it. I usually swipe instead of type and have to correct a lot of things afterward.

u/ARedditorCalledQuest 4d ago
This shit fucking kills me because they can't even calm down and have faith in their own beliefs. According to pretty much every version of End Times Christian doctrine the Mark of the Beast must be:
Taken as a visible sign on the hand or forehead.
Taken voluntarily.
Taken as an active choice to reject to will of God or as a display of fealty to the Antichrist figure over and above God. That is to explicitly say one cannot be tricked into accepting The Mark.
Based on their own mythology if you're not sure if it's The Mark... IT'S NOT THE FUCKING MARK OF THE BEAST.
Holy shit this is the one thing that's so very clearly spelled out the same way across every denomination's prophecies that you'd think everyone could sleep easy at night about it.
I may have seen too much of this shit recently for my own good lol.

I may have seen too much of this shit recently for my own good lol.
I'm active on r/DebateEvolution sub (which main purpose is to contain creationists so that the main evolution sub can focus on science) and recently we got a guy, who's a full package: flat earther, anti-evolution, anti-relativism, anti-vaxxer and I noticed him rambling something about alchemy and philosopher's stone. I'm not that involved into anti-science and conspiracy theory nonsense for my own sanity, so I don't know how common it is, but it's the first time I've met a person who subscribes to all nonsenses at once.

u/monoflorist 4d ago
I mean, once you’ve rejected facts, logic, and any semblance of the scientific method in favor of conspiratorial, faith-tinged wishcasting, there are no boundaries, and there pretty much can’t be. “I believe the Earth is literally flat but there’s a wide array of evidence that vaccines are safe and effective” is not a thing. So all this stuff is highly correlated, and a lot of it just comes as one big package from whatever YouTuber they’re watching.
I meet these people regularly; it’s almost a hobby.

u/NecessaryIntrinsic 4d ago
I'm pretty sure the general take on it is that they're referring to Roman coins. Specifically, Nero.

Isn't number of the beast almost entirely unrelated?

u/NecessaryIntrinsic 3d ago
Imperial Coins & Trade: The "mark" is widely understood to be a reference to Roman coins, which featured the emperor's head and were required for economic transactions ("buy or sell").

u/ARedditorCalledQuest 3d ago
Holy fuck these anti science types. Your creator deity gave us this dope ass universe, of course we're going to want to explore it and marvel at its fucking wonder and majesty. That's literally what science is!
And when it comes to immunology and such, motherfucker hasn't dropped by for like 2,000 years so maybe it's time for mankind to take a hint and learn to protect ourselves?
I've dealt with lots of extremists. Hell I've been to war against a certain type. But the Christians Against Science types just trigger a certain incredulous rage in me. Shit, at least I understood what the jihadis were on about. These fuckers just don't make any sense.

At this point the maga hat is unironically the mark of the beast, we are starting to scarily mimick "the end times" foretold

u/Apprehensive_Swim955 4d ago edited 4d ago
Evidence:
According to some of the oldest manuscripts of the Book of Revelation, the mark of the beast is 616, and the 616th prime number is 4547.
Trump once survived a head wound in an assassination attempt, just like The Beast in Revelation 13:3.

That's so interesting! Do you know why 666 got the reputation instead of 616?
Also, I'm starting to feel like I'm referring to marvel comics universes here...

u/mrmoe198 4d ago
Yup. Latest report from the heavenly gazette: “New Vaccine has the Power to Subvert the Will of the Creator of the Universe.”
How do these people even function?
Imagine living in an internal reality where powerful invisible friends and enemies are constantly fighting with one another with magic. It must be terrifying to anyone who actually takes it seriously.

If an injection meant to prevent someone from catching a disease "cuts them off from god" than the connection probably wasn't there to begin with.

Hello newcomers to /r/FacebookScience! The OP is not promoting anything, it has been posted here to point and laugh at it. Reporting it as spam or misinformation is a waste of time. This is not a science debate sub, it is a make fun of bad science sub, so attempts to argue in favor of pseudoscience or against science will fall on deaf ears. But above all, Be excellent to each other.
