True Christians have taken note. False Christians, such as those who slander people they have never met, or are uncharitable, will not take heed of these warnings. Godless atheists will have a nice Sunday.

Are they asking for it?
by Hermano inafter reading throught bluepill2's thread on the wts asl masturbation video, i wonder, are they doing this on purpose?
are they somehow hoping some of this stuff goes viral to garner attention?
are they counting on a public backlash so they can claim persecution?

Hey, I wouldn't knock meeting one of those grannies. Some of them have very sweet granddaughters you might get to know.
Maybe this guy should hook up with granny, you know, to take the edge off.

HOW TO IDENTIFY THE TRUE RELIGION
by Fifth Column injesus said that the true religion would be evident in the lives of the people who practice it.
by their fruits you will recognize them, he said.
every good tree produces fine fruit.

Fifth Column, I looked up that scripture you cited, Matthew 7:16, 17)
It did not say anything about religion, or that anyone should have religion. Jesus was not talking about religion. He did not enumerate anything about six features of anything. You just made that up, and claimed that Jesus said it, but I went and checked and found out he didn't say that.
He did say that there would be false prophets, and that you would know them by their fruits. If someone tells me about what Jesus said, and I go look in the Bible and find out that he said differently, then they have lied to me about Jesus. That is their fruit, being a liar. They would represent the father of lies, Satan.
While we are looking at fruits, making claims to speak for God that do not come to pass (Deuteronomy 18:20-22), molesting and harming children (Luke 17:2 Matthew 18:6), and lying about what scriptures say (John 8:44) are fruits of evil people, and an organization whose leaders follow these practices is corrupt.
I would never be involved with a group with that fruitage. It is bad association and displeases God.

New Atheism+ calls for middle-class white cis-man Dawkins to move over.
by bohm inin what appears to be the 117th skism in the "atheist community", a group of people have desided to form "atheism plus", defined as good old unbelief plus various values such as social justice, support of womens rights, protest racism etc.
see for instance richard carriers writeup:.

Ayn Rand was an atheist.
Atheism seems like a very diverse unbelief system, with the only common thread being a rejection of the supernatural.
I would expect lots of elite clubs to emerge from that, sometimes with opposing interests.

Letter Regarding Academic Researchers

I developed a simple test to determine if there is a clergy laity dinstinction. Can every member of the organization perform weddings, baptism and other ordinances that are available, or are only a few specially selected ones able to do that. An intelligent survey could have the proper questions to determine that. Reading the literature would not. THAT is why they want to avoid academic research about their little publishing gig.

If you hold a wing up to a mirror, you see its opposite reflected in that mirror. This applies well to politics and the wingers who inhabit that wasteland.
The sad thing is that they need each other to validate their existence, much as the Christians need a Devil.
They waste a lot of money and resources squabbling with each other over scraps of meat, which could have been used to actually solve problems and build productive things.
