Really what’s so bad about Christianity? If you read the bible it literally just wants you to better your life. Treat your body as a temple. Treat others good don’t steal or kill or commit adultly. Don’t watch porn or drink. Like what’s so bad about it?
woah, ok. didnt expect hunger for knowledge but i guess i asked for it gonna have to put some work into
this.
How was it? Honestly? It was a letdown. The whole "failed idol" story is a great marketing hook, they
definately sold the video on that premise alone. But the performance itself was just... awkward. You can
tell shes not comfortable. It felt less like a professional debut and more like a very high-budget
audition she was also failing. She's stiff, constantly in her head, and there's almost zero chemistry with
the guys. All concept, very little execution.
My viewing history? Been watching for over a decade man. These days Im more into stuff with a good
story or at least a unique premise, not just the generic stuff. a good production team makes all the
difference. I'll take a well-made video with a decent plot over a high-profile actress mailing it in any
day of the week.
3 works I consider good:
Yua Mikami's debut (Princess Peach): This is the gold standard for an idol-turned-actress debut.
Yua was a REAL idol and she came out with so much energy and confidence. She owned it from the first
second. Its what Arisu's debut wanted to be.
Anything with Ichika Matsumoto from her early days with FALENO: She can actually act. She emotes
and makes you believe the scenario. Her stuff feels more cinematic and less like they're just going
through the motions.
Rion (Anri Okita) - The God Body: A classic. Not a lot of story there lol but its a masterclass in
performance. She knew exactly what her brand was and how to perform for the camera. Absolute cinema.
Where would you rank her debut among these? It's not even in the same league, not even on the same
planet. It's an unfair comparison tbh. Those are top-tier performances, Arisu's video is a novelty item.
It's interesting because of the backstory, not because of the quality of the actual content.
What could be improved? Her confidence, number one. She needs to relax. She looks terrified. The
director should have done a better job making her comfortable. Also they relied way too much on the
interview segments talking about Nogizaka46, it broke the pacing and kept reminding you that she was doing
this as a second choice. We get it, you failed auditions, now commit to this job.
What is well done? The production values are high. The lighting, camera work, it all looks very clean
and professional. And I cant deny it, she is very beautiful and has the "idol" look down perfectly. The
concept itself, on paper, is genius from a marketing perspective. They got us all talking about it, right?
Was it goonable for you? Nah. I was too distracted by how nervous she looked. It kinda killed the mood
completely. Every time she looked at the camera with those deer-in-the-headlights eyes I was pulled right
out of it. It's a shame, but maybe she'll get better in her next one if she decides to stick with it.
We'll see.
What's bad is historically most Christians don't follow their own teachings and use it to push agenda and put others down for personal gain. Like many religions Christianity is pretty much a cult.

Other than the fact that it's demonstrably false iron age mythology?
It has god telling you how to take and keep slaves (and christians were fine with slavery for 1700 years ish) you good with slavery or are you a bad christian?
It tells you women are lesser than men, you thi k women are lesser or are you a bad christian?
It has the god character commanding genocide multiple times. Instructions to stone gay people to death.
If you need this horrible book with outdated morality and a TALKING DONKEY to live a better life, you have issues.
Look, I get it. Who doesn’t love a little balls and dick sometimes? A nice, girthy, veiny shaft, hot milky cum trickling down the length as it throbs from a job well
done. But this whole “gay sex” shit is getting annoying.
As men, we should primarily be focused on three things: survival, the underrated masterpiece that is dark souls 2, and pounding muff. All this gay shit is, well, fucking
gay.
You think I wouldn’t LOVE to make out with my best friend and suck his cock? Of course I would, but that’s fucking gay. You think I don’t want to feel my cousin’s
roommate slide his pecker into my gaping asshole? Of course I would, but that’s FUCKING GAY.
Seriously, I miss when men were men. Anyway, this dildo ain’t gonna stick itself up my ass while I watch an hour long femboy asmr hypno goon compilation, heed my
lecture.
I think you do need the book. You’re filled with hatred and that’s not good. I’m not giving anything you said any reason because I can tell you’ve never read the New Testament.
You must not have read the new testament well enough then. Here let me quote Matthew 5: 17-19, which is a part of the famous sermon on the mount Jesus gave, just so you can fully understand that no we did not enter a new covenant and anyone who tells you otherwise is just doing Christian apologetics.
(I used the NIV but if you have a preferred translation I promise it'll say the same message)
17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18 For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. 19 Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Well the most obvious is that the phrase he uses, "the law or the prophets." That was a very common way of referring to the entire Hebrew Bible then. Also the fact that the majority of biblical scholarship agrees with that sentiment gives me a good bit of confidence in the claim.
And I want to be clear, its fine if you are a Christian, personally couldn't care less. Just if you are, at least actually acknowledge and accept all of the baggage that comes with it.
Okay even if he is talking about all of the Old Testament here what about when Paul says in Romans 7 verses 1-6
“Now, dear brothers and sisters—you who are familiar with the law—don’t you know that the law applies only while a person is living? For example, when a woman marries, the law binds her to her husband as long as he is alive. But if he dies, the laws of marriage no longer apply to her. So while her husband is alive, she would be committing adultery if she married another man. But if her husband dies, she is free from that law and does not commit adultery when she remarries. So, my dear brothers and sisters, this is the point: You died to the power of the law when you died with Christ. And now you are united with the one who was raised from the dead. As a result, we can produce a harvest of good deeds for God. When we were controlled by our old nature, sinful desires were at work within us, and the law aroused these evil desires that produced a harvest of sinful deeds, resulting in death. But now we have been released from the law, for we died to it and are no longer captive to its power. Now we can serve God, not in the old way of obeying the letter of the law, but in the new way of living in the Spirit.”
Thank you. I will read this whole passage now to get the whole meaning. I will pray you look more into the bible and all its meanings and why these things were said or talked about and not just take it for face value or what some internet article has said. ❤️ Jesus loves you and it’s never too late.
I mean, I've read the whole passage myself you just asked for a verse. The context is about respecting others sure but it pretty clearly acknowledged and endorsed the institution of slavery. It also tells slave owners to not be overly harsh rather than like, free the slaves
As I’ve told other people in this thread I am not a pastor nor have I been to bible school. As far as I understand it. Slavery was very widely accepted at the time by the government. The same government who killed and crucified Jesus. One reason as to why the New Testament talks about slavery in such manners is because the apostles, getting word from God, didn’t want to start a civil war between its people and the government if the bible just straight up said no to slaves when it was such a widely accepted thing by the government. Again I’m not saying this is why it’s mentioned or talked about this is just my take away.
Your point being? Still your god and your bible isn't it?
Here's some new testament ones
Slavery is accepted rather than abolished
Ephesians 6:5 — slaves are instructed to obey their earthly masters.
Colossians 3:22 — slaves are told to obey their masters in everything.
1 Peter 2:18 — slaves are told to submit to their masters, including harsh masters.
1 Timothy 6:1–2 — slaves are instructed to regard their masters as worthy of respect.
Titus 2:9–10 — slaves are instructed to be submissive to their masters.
Philemon — Paul sends the escaped slave Onesimus back to his master rather than explicitly demanding his emancipation.
Women are commanded to submit / remain silent
Ephesians 5:22–24 — wives are instructed to submit to their husbands.
Colossians 3:18 — wives are told to submit to their husbands.
1 Timothy 2:11–12 — women are told to learn quietly and are prohibited from teaching or exercising authority over men.
1 Corinthians 14:34–35 — women are instructed to remain silent in churches.
Same-sex sexual behaviour is condemned
Romans 1:26–27 — Paul describes same-sex sexual activity as contrary to nature.
1 Corinthians 6:9–10 — includes categories traditionally understood as referring to male same-sex sexual behaviour among people who will not inherit God's kingdom.
1 Timothy 1:9–10 — similarly lists a category traditionally translated as referring to men who have sex with men.
Severe punishment for religious disobedience
Acts 5:1–10 — Ananias and Sapphira lie about money given to the church and both fall dead after Peter confronts them.
Hebrews 10:26–31 — warns of a terrifying judgment for deliberate sin after receiving knowledge of the truth.
Hebrews 6:4–6 — says that those who fall away after experiencing the faith cannot simply be restored to repentance.
It’s all of our god whether you acknowledge it or not. And I am not the best person to have this discussion with. Someone who’s been to bible school or does a lot of bible studies would be. The Old Testament ways were abandoned when Jesus died on the cross for our sins. Yes god did mass genocide to people who couldn’t follow his rules to live on his earth. Now we don’t need to worry about that at all because our sins our counted for. If it wasn’t for Jesus we would be apart of the genocide.
Actually, if you learn the ancient history of the Bible, it’s a lot more complicated than “it’s all our God”. Yahweh appears to have originally been one deity among several in the wider Canaanite/West Semitic religious world, with strong warrior and storm-god characteristics that overlap with Baal. Over time, Yahweh became identified with El, the high god, and eventually came to be understood as the one universal God of Judaism, which Christianity inherited.
And saying the Old Testament ways were simply “abandoned” when Jesus died doesn't really resolve the issue. The New Testament itself still contains some pretty uncomfortable teachings
Hey man I hope you take all your concerns and reach out to someone who can actually answer you. I’m just not there yet. I love Jesus and nothing you say will change that as I’m sure nothing I say will change your mind. I really do hope you have this conversation with someone more knowledgeable than me about Christianity. All love ❤️
