TLDR - First few sentences

Christian Science does not agree with the theory that morals grow out of people’s behavior. It stands firmly on the ground that morals for mankind are derived from the divine Mind, God, and that they are therefore ageless. Morally right behavior pertaining to sex was revealed by Moses.

      When the cure comes from God, it is called miracle.
      Look up Padre Pio. It hasn’t been that long since his death.

        Padre Pio was one of the biggest scammer southern Italy was ever plagued by and he did more damages to this land than any of the mafia family living there has ever done.

        I’m glad he died the horrible way he did and I hope he is now rotting in a metaphorical hell where he belong.

            He died of an heart attack at 81 years old, just like a normal man would do. No golden carriage descending from the heavens to collect his body nor no resurrection three days after his death.

            A con man dying like a normal human after a life of lies and peddled “miracles” to poor, uneducated people.

            Lmao, your ignorance about this subject shows immediately.

            Padre Pio was considered a scammer by the Catholic church itself and was also found to be a fraud when visited by the doctors sent by the pope to determine if the scars he showed to his followers were of divine origin. When analysed the doctors found that they were most likely self inflicted wounds (there’s also the testimony of a pharmacist who sold this con man some carbolic acid) and that he was putting forward a show for his followers, so much so that he was denied the right to celebrate mass for his schemes. It was John Paul the 2nd who canonized him in 2002 because he realized that if he wanted the support of the gullible people in southern Italy he would have needed to give them something in return; and so he did, by making him a saint against the better judgment of Benedict the 15th and of Pio the 11th, the popes who lived during his times and who barred him from celebrating mass.

            I’d love to give you some references to educate you but unfortunately most of the material is in Italian language and your ignorance prevents you from accessing it.

            Padre Pio did not invent the microscope but he was able to create a cult worshipping his image in lieu of god, a sin which should be very grave according to the Christian faith tenets

              No. You are a story teller. Your source is mainly calumny.
              Anybody can do that to Jesus, Francis of Assisi, Padre Pio. In fact, stigmas of Christ is not something new in the Church.
              When something miraculous begins, it has to be investigated.
              According to my source, people wanted him out of the way.
              According to my source, there was no carbolic acid mentioned.
              According to my source, doctors examined with wonders (lots of blood loss).

              He lived in a monastery. You don’t need a doctor to declare it was a fraud if it was really a fraud.
              Perhaps the whole monastery was involved?
              Pope Pius 11 had no letter against Padre Pio.
              Your story is full of interpolations and holes.
              And I see your trust in the ‘popes’ here.

              Catholics don’t worship images. (Your ignorance again).
              Padre Pio lived through the 1st and 2nd world war, and he fought modernism tooth and nail.
              Please give me your Italian reference (even a child could read Italian these days).
              Make sure it is Catholic (that is what you claimed) (or don’t worry, I will accept any link).

                https://it.cathopedia.org/wiki/San_Pio_da_Pietrelcina

                Is cathopedia catholic enough for you?

                You are as ignorant as adamant in your ignorance so I don’t think this will make any difference for your bigoted mindset but still it’s funny to see you squirm while trying to justify your position.

                I used the popes version of the story just because they should be considered the highest authority by people like you. If they did decide something that should be the law for all Catholics or are you suggesting you have more authority than the popes who lived during padre Pio’s time?

                Catholics do worship images, have you ever heard of so called “holy cards”? Italy is full of it and in Pietrelcina there’s a very profitable business running around them.

                When something miraculous begins, it has to be investigated.

                Three lines under this statement

                He lived in a monastery. You don’t need a doctor to declare it was a fraud if it was really a fraud.

                You really can’t make any sense, do you?

                  Even though I made repetitions? Too bad.
                  So what was I wrong about…
                  You don’t believe the article you sent me.
                  You only believe his prohibition (not condemnation) and not the reversion of the prohibition.
                  Don’t forget calumny was flying… (Time to pray).

                  Even St. Joseph of Cupertino had a similar condemnation and reversion story.
                  Like the link stated, he had many enemies who wanted him out of the way. He was misreported to Pius 11 probably.

                  Even St. Bernadette, they had the Grotto barred at first.

                  Many people in the course of History have been laid greater allegations, but at the end, the dark cloud normally clears.

                  And can you show me a link also where Catholics say they worship images?

                  But read about Padre Pio from a true source.
                  I need his sources.

          Food is sweet, but not every substance is to be taken (poison, your 12-year old boy).
          Eyeglasses to the eye, and knives to vegetables (things have purpose).
          Syphilis is rightly a disorder, so is marriage with a boiling pot (dis + order).

          Some people are bully, and they love that about themselves.
          Your youthfulness will still fade,
          You’ll grow old and will need another’s help.
          You’ll die one day, and after death comes judgement.
          If you love yourself, choose one suffering.
          Suffering twice is: in this world and after judgement in hell.
          A wise person will choose to suffer once.

          We have to give God thanks for everything, even if not by miracle (by practice).

              Government is people (president, vice, ministers, senators).
              They too eat and go to toilet.
              You shouldn’t fear them (but you must not commit crime/killings).

              Drones and robots are man-made.
              Just like bombs, gun etc.
              If they kill people, know that man/evil government… (pressed the KILL button).

    The healing of homosexuality—and many such cases have been genuinely healed

    Citation needed.

    P. S. A list by a kindly person long ago in red place of things forbidden by the old testament ( with biblical citation!):

    Eating rabbits, pigs, or camels.
    

    Leviticus 11:4 “Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the hoof: as the camel, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.”

    No shellfish, clams, oysters, urchins, or lobsters.
    

    Leviticus 11:10 “And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you.”

    No eating cats, dogs, and ferrets
    

    Leviticus 11:27 “And whatsoever goeth upon his paws, among all manner of beasts that go on all four, those are unclean unto you: whoso toucheth their carcase shall be unclean until the even.”

    No eating snails, moles, weasels, mice, rats, bats, bugs, insects, worms, spiders, roaches, etc.
    

    Leviticus 11:28–29 “These also shall be unclean unto you among the creeping things that creep upon the earth; the weasel, and the mouse, and the tortoise after his kind, and the ferret, and the chameleon, and the lizard, and the snail, and the mole.”

    Don't eat fat or blood
    

    Leviticus 3:17 “It shall be a perpetual statute for your generations throughout all your dwellings, that ye eat neither fat nor blood"

    You cannot eat certain birds.
    

    Leviticus 11:13–20 “These are they which ye shall have in abomination among the fowls; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the osprey, and the vulture, and the kite after his kind; every raven after his kind; and the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind, and the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl, and the swan, and the pelican, and the gier eagle, and the stork, the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat. All fowls that creep, going upon all four, shall be an abomination unto you.”

    If you wear ripped jeans, you're going to burn.
    

    Leviticus 10:6 “Uncover not your heads, neither rend your clothes; lest ye die, and lest wrath come upon all the people.”

    Oh, yeah. You also can't wear mixed cloth, bitch.
    

    Leviticus 19:19 “Neither shall a garment mingled of linen and woollen come upon thee.”

    No short haircuts

        First, I’d suggest you to take some classes on writing and syntax, your posts are barely readable and understandable.

        Second, the old testament is the foundation of the new one so its core tenants are still considered valid by all Christian denominations, some even recognizing it more authority in respect to the new testament.

        Third, a father should be obeyed AS LONG AS he is a reasonable and caring father. An abusive or violent parent should not be obeyed just like a tyrannical or undemocratic ruler shouldn’t, expecially if they ask for something causing stress or harm to his children/subjects.

        Fourth, a child would also not exist without his mother but in your Christian mindset this is never taken into account.

          Barely readable because you are Italian. (Italians bear with me for a while.)
          Barely understandable? What then can you understand?

          “Second, the old testament”: More display of ignorance.

          Children too don’t like to go to school. I can understand.

          1. School is stressful to children. But they need to be educated to get a job (self employed or not).
          2. Taking bath is stressful to children (they even shout and yell).
          3. The ear of female children needs to be bored for ear rings (great harm).

          There is one God.
          Two Gods: A problem (who created the other?)
          In the order of things here on earth,
          We have carnal fathers and mothers.
          Spiritually, we have fathers and mothers too.

            You speak English because is your mother tongue, I speak English because that’s the only language you can understand. We are not the same.

            There’s a difference in forcing a child to go to school and forcing a child to blindly follow the tenants of a cult established by uneducated people living more than 2000 years ago. In the first case you are forcing your authority on the child to provide him with the tools needed to be accomplished in this life, as our history as a species has shown for the past two centuries, when child teaching has started to become more and more common also for the poorest classes in our societies while also our standard of living have been improving steadily. In the second one you are forcing unreasonable and, in some cases, even conflicting beliefs not based in any logic or research but in pure faith alone. What if your son does not share the same beliefs as you? Who are you to force these onto him without a single shread of evidence proving their innate validity? What if you are wrong about the afterlife and Muslims, Buddhist or any other religion are right? Are you ready to bring upon yourself and upon your child eternal damnation due to your decisions?

            Lastly there is no god. Or at least there is no god as it is described by Christianity or any other major religion. God is a concept completely alien to humans, were we able to understand it we would be god’s ourselves. Since this is not the case one can only logically assume that we still haven’t find the right “god” to worship

              That is the reason this present life is difficult. There are counterfeits to true things.
              Be sincere with yourself and see the disorder in LGBTQ+ first, before other judgements.

              You don’t become what you understand.
              God revealed himself to us (Moyes and others). We did not create the concept (though you’ll arrive at that by philosophy (Plato, Aristotle)).
              From the beginning, Adam walked with God…
              Others born were like you and I (clean memory that needs to be educated).
              But at the end, the people that are God’s people will see God.

                Well then, wait for god to show himself to you and you alone while, at the same time, leaving everyone else free to live their lives as they see fit for themselves.

                Remember what Jesus has left as only commandments: don’t judge if you don’t want to be judged and love the others as you love yourself. Of course these are two commandments which are not applicable for modern rightoids as they are well too ready to judge others and hate their neighbours if they don’t think as they would like them to but this is something they will have to discuss with their god once they’ll leave this earth. Until them we will be in their way when they’ll try to fix the their false religion and god upon us non-believers as our constitutions and legal frameworks allow us to do.

                  Ignorance at play again.
                  Judge not.
                  Kill not.
                  Swear not.

                  You don’t just pick two words from the Bible.
                  We Christians enjoy and are Joyful this Christmas season.
                  We kill chickens, cows, sheep etc.

                  You will be judged by God at the end.
                  Judge just judgement.

                  Go away, if you don’t want to be told the truth.

    If God says murder is cool now, is it cool now? If yes, then your system of morals is arbitrary. If no, then God is only following a moral law, rather than creating it.

      That’s what scares the fuck out of me when it comes to major religions. If the Pope one day said, “rise up and kill” and only 1% of Catholics followed his orders, the bloodbath would be vast.

    The healing of religion—and many such cases have been genuinely healed—comes, like the healing of any other abnormal condition, through the application of the truths of life and man as taught in Science. These truths include rational thought, scientific theory and experimentation, rejection of groupthink, and the elevation and celebration of fellow women and men as Equals.
