new atheists deride religion as “primitive superstition” but when you hear their take on what religion is it’s clear they have the shallowest concept of it

Y'all are the ones with holy books about talking snakes and blood sacrifices, but go off I guess

I will start believing the day you introduce me personally to your god(s).

What exactly is there deeper to understand that y'all worship a genocidal maniac and that you only read one book???

Religion is useless. We will all die eventually and your phony gods cannot help you

Reasons why I refuse to call myself an atheist.

Religion can absolutely be used for some bad shit, but that doesn’t make it bad. Especially when you consider how much good has come from religion. Like the entire European Renaissance wouldn’t have happened if not for religion.

That’s not why religion exists so you leave me no choice

L'anse Aux Meadows. The only completely authenticated European site in North America, a Norse settlement dating back to around 1000 AD. Discovered on Newfoundland in 1961. Studies of ancient Icelandic sagas indicate that this was the land known as Vinland to the Vikings. Leif Erikson, the son of Erik the Red, is credited with first landing in Vinland.

Do you not know that from the beginning of time, since man was placed on the earth, the triumph of the wicked has been brief, and the joy of the godless momentary?

Christian Samurais: More Likely Than You Think

When the Portuguese arrived in Japan in 1549 they brought Christianity with Jesuit missionaries. During this period Japan was in a period of civil war known as the Sengoku era where several warlords were in conflict with each other for control of Japan. Unsurprisingly, many samurais - particularly ronins who did not serve a master of their own - adopted Christianity choosing Jesus as their lord instead. Curiously, many of these samurais did not share the same common practices as their fellow warriors like seppuku where they committed ritualistic suicide to restore their honor because suicide is a sin and instead they fought to the death. The most well-known of them are Dom Justo Takayama who is on his way of becoming the first Japanese saint recognized by the Catholic Church, and Amakusa Shiro, who is revered as an folk saint by Japanese Roman Catholics.
