This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Christianity is has almost always been so dangerously close to polytheism that it’s laughable it isn’t considered to be.

It’s just bureaucracy at this point, I guess it’s not polytheism if you lower everyone to “middle manager god”

Yeah, that's pretty much what it is. Father, Son, Holy Spirit, Satan, but it's "monotheistic". Uh-huh, sure.

I'm far from being Christian but to be fair you're ignoring centuries of philosophical and theological debate about those

I'm more interested in what is done in practice, and many Christians behave as if Satan is an evil god.
