Talk:Chris and religion

To do

• Chris's warped version of Christianity (homosexuality = bad, lesbianism = good, sex before marriage = okay).
• his twisted double standard of morality (anyone else lies = "vicious lies and slander", Chris outright lies = "half-truths"; also how Adam Stackhouse cheating = bad, Chris cheating = okay).
• God's influence on his dreams
• how Chris is guilty of all seven deadly sins

God is a Troll

If we assume God exists and it was God who talked to Chris could it be argued that God is trolling chris as well?

Split

I'll entertain the motion of splitting off GodJesus into its own page, since Chris has invoked God specifically in much of his work, which can be considered a separate thing to how Chris views religion, in addition to GodJesus being in the comic and a popular meme amongst trolls. We can document all the times Chris has invoked GodJesus in various media.

Thoughts? --Champthom 12:07, 2 September 2009 (CEST)

I guess go on. --Sonijew 11:11, 3 September 2009 (CEST)

That could actually be really funny, thinking about it. Go for it! --Jump 18:36, 30 October 2009 (CET)

Sounds like a good plan. --AdderCress 23:55, 3 December 2009 (CET)

The Seven Deadly Sins

The seven deadly sins aren't really 7 specific sins so much as seven categories that cover all sins. In other words, every wrongdoing is motivated, in one way or another By Greed, Sloth, Lust, Pride, Wrath, Gluttony, or Envy. So whether it's lying to save face (pride) raging against guys with girlfriends (Wrath, Lust, Envy) or basically anything else Chris does at all, it all goes back to one of the deadly sins.

That said, I doubt there's any need to actually include that in the article. Making this whole paragraph moot, I guess. whatever.--Beat 05:38, 15 October 2009 (CEST)

Apparently someone doesn't like the Seven Deadly sins portion of this page much at all. Does the article really need it? I mean, all it does it repeat the point that Chris wallows in wrongdoing. --Beat 19:20, 19 November 2009 (CET)

10 Commandments

Now that's better. I'm half-tempted to delete the 7 deadly sins part completely now that we have this. To whoever wrote it, you're awesome. --Beat 03:28, 11 December 2009 (CET)

Possession?

christfag here i believe chris might be possessed or demonically oppressed having cast demons out of people before he acts very similar to them ultrajinx 17:31, 20 November 2009 (CET)

of course if this is true and if some one at his church has half a brain and recognizes this expect the saga to be over very quickly (this is just a theory after all) ultrajinx 17:36, 20 November 2009 (CET)

I'm also a Christian, but I really don't think there's much evidence here for demonic possession. Chris strikes me as just a terrible person on the whole, not a terrible person the devil is controlling.--Beat 17:56, 20 November 2009 (CET)

The devil is wasting his time if he's controlling Chris. --T K 19 18:54, 20 November 2009 (CET)

but if he is truly born again then he can't be possessed only oppressed ultrajinx 15:32, 21 November 2009 (CET)

the only reason i started thinking about this was when in one of the many chats he mentions how he hears things like "chris is gay" ultrajinx 04:16, 22 November 2009 (CET)

Other Religions?

Should we document Chris's opinions on religions other than his own? Unfortunately, there's not much to go by, save a few Mumble chats and recent mailbag responses, but he seems tolerant of other people's beliefs (although this could be attributed to his willing ignorance of everything outside Virginia). --AdderCress 00:00, 4 December 2009 (CET)

Thanks, Dkaien. --AdderCress 21:35, 4 December 2009 (CET)

• That's definitely going to be hard since Chris is unfamiliar with any non-Christian religion. Hell, he doesn't really know the difference between Catholics and Protestants. —Preceding unsigned comment added by AntonImausMk2 (talk • contribs)

Chris said in the mailbag that he agrees with all of Fred Nile's views, and Fred Nile is apparently quite anti-Muslim. Make of that what you will. --sonichuis44 07:51, 21 December 2009 (CET)

Source?

Has Chris ever actually been asked why he believes that there is pain and suffering if there is a loving God? The page suggests he has, but I can't find any source for it. --Mekka 03:22, 15 December 2009 (CET)

Reincarnation

Right here.

Chris's religion is now basically just a mishmash of every faith he's ever heard of, with a good helping of shit he just plain made up.--Beat 07:20, 21 December 2009 (CET)

Afterlife

So I wrote a little bit about Chris's stance on the hereafter, and how it really doesn't have anything in common with Christianity at I just kinda tacked it onto the end of GodJesus, because I couldn't really think of anywhere else it would fit properly. Pretty much the entire idea of Christianity is that Jesus saves, and that it's impossible to save ourselves no matter how many good deeds we do.

It's weird, considering he bases so much of his identity on it, but Chris really isn't a Christian at all.--Beat 08:26, 3 January 2010 (CET)
