The Religion Thread (I hate you guys)

[Kaslo]

If you are unaware, the United Methodist Church may be on the verge of a major schism based upon the inclusion of LGBT members. Conference seems to be heading toward adopting policies that are harsher on LGBT community and those who support them.... ugh

[Zealot]

Oh no I'm 1/4th Methodist.

Is that how that works? I've never been clear on how that works.

[Fondue]

I went to boy scouts at a methodist church so I'm pretty much an expert

[mallister]

i dated a methodist in high school.

Saw this on Reddit today. Who doesn't love Katy Perry killing a nun every now and again?

I don't even disagree with you fuccboi. I'm fully aware of where many terrorist groups and 'rebels' get their funding and weapons. I know who we are allied with in the middle east and that they are the epitome of devout followers of Wahhabism. I was never even talking about our political leaders benefiting or not. I was talking specifically of what is a large number of people that people like Aks defend even though she would be directly opposed to the enforcement of their beliefs if they were to leave Indonesia in mass and move to where she is, and rightfully so. I'm just sick of the muslim minority myth and just because my video is hosted by a known conservative does not change the accuracy of the pew research data.

Wahhabism isn't the only problem. There are extremist Sufis like Turkey's AKP who fund terrorism. The Ottomans were Sufis. Sufism doesn't mean moderate. They can be bad as or worse than Wahhabis.

[Roranora]

is that like the arab pope or sumthin

[Sirious]

Iirc, kind of. But Aga Khan is akin to a Bishop or maybe Cardinal, only one sect of the faith.

A Caliph, would be akin to Pope.

[Tyrath]

No I think Pope is a fitting comparison. It's a spiritual leader of a sect of islam

Only Catholics follow the pope yes?

Only one branch of Shia Muslims follow Aga Khan

Yes, the Aga Khan is just like the pope for a branch of Shia Muslims, called Ismaili Muslims. The family is one of the richest in the world. According to scripture, the family are a direct decedent from Mohammed.

[Bombur]

Also for triva !! The Aga Khan's Grandfather married hollywood legend Rita Hayworth in 1949. It's why they look sorta white, instead of Arab.
