Why are WOKE people saying that CHRISTIANITY isn't true?
I pretty sure I m going to get virtually lynched over this question.
Why is that on instagram and all the social media ppl are posting stuff like "from unconscious to conscious" and they usually have a picture that implies Christianity is for the "sheeple"?
For instance, yesterday I saw this before and after pic. Before there was a lady with a tattoo of two hands held together in representation of Christianity. Then, the after pic was that one of an African lady covering the previous Christian tattoo.
I know a lot of ppl argue that Christianity was enforced by the Spaniards when they came to the Americas. However, why are there people who used to be Christians now "waking up" to "reality"? It seems to me like they re bashing Christianity bc it condones slavery?
SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN I M CONFUSED.

A lot of people were raised in communities/families in which Christianity was imposed upon them.
They got no other side of the story, they didn't even get a choice to disagree. They were simply told that this is what they had to believe and live their lives by.
When a time comes that you realize there are other point of views, it feels like a bit of an awakening. It's like your whole world gets bigger.
When you start thinking for yourself and realize you don't believe Christianity the way you were told you should, you can experience a lot of backlash from your family, community, society. This makes people feel rebellious towards what they see as something that was forced upon them.
They become more outspoken against it, in hopes of giving courage to others who are 'waking up' to new perspectives.
Then you have Christians trying to impose their beliefs on everyone by pushing them into laws and schools and the public arena. Christians would understand how annoying if a Wiccan or a Buddhist was trying to do those things; well, not Christians find it just as annoying when Christians do it. (only difference being, of course, that Christians actually try to, while Buddhists and Wiccans don't).

People who claim Christianity isn't true, are deceived by Satan.
There is lots of evidence that Christianity is true.

The only way primitive religion exists today is through the child abuse of forcing it into very, very young children but thanks to better education and growing intellects so many teens are able to discover the truth, throw off the indoctrination and step into the real world!
Atheism is not a conscious decision or a belief but a realisation, those that cannot escape remain prisoners of their conditioning!
The first person to produce a single tiny little piece of verifiable evidence for any god will become world famous and mega rich!
Academia states that in the absence of any sort of evidence of the existence of something it must be deemed not to exist until verifiable evidence is found - thus god is held not to exist pending some sort of verifiable evidence.
The bible is what is called "Faction” A fictional story set in a factual time and place. Thus the time, place and real historical characters are all correct but the fictional characters and stories are not!
There is not one single mention of Jesus in the entire Roman record - that is right - not one! At the same time as he was supposed to have been around there were a number of Jews claiming to be the messiah - all of whom are well recorded!
There is not a single contemporary record from any source and even the bible mentions of him like all other references were not written until many years after his supposed death!
He was supposed to have been a huge problem to the Romans and produced wonderful miracles but still not one contemporary record?
Even the bible mentions of him like all other references were not written until many years after his supposed death!
Pilate is recorded in the Roman record as a somewhat lack luster man but no mention of a Jesus, a trial or crucifixion that would surely have been used to make him look brighter!
At best he was an amalgam of those others but almost certainly never existed!
Not one word of it is contemporary with the period and was not written until several hundred years after the period the story is set in!! How did the apostles write their books more than a hundred years after they would have been dead?
Christianity is an invention of the Italians and that is why it came from the Holy ROMAN Catholic church!
Please realize that those claims for the Old historians are worthless since they were not even born until long after everyone in the stories would have been so long dead!
Josephus AD 37 – AD 100
Tacitus AD 56 – AD 120
Suetonius - 69 – 130 AD
Pliny the Younger, 61 AD – 112 AD
Justin Martyr (Saint Justin) AD103–165 AD
Lucian - AD 120 -180 AD but he was hostile to Christianity and openly mocked it.
Pamphilius AD 240-309 AD
Eusebius AD 263 – 339 AD
Photius AD 877 – 886 AD
Thallus - But there are no actual record of him except a fragment of writing which mentions the sack of Troy [109 BC] Showing that he was clearly not alive in biblical times.
Some even try to use Seneca. 4 BCE – 65 CE but as a Stoic Philosopher he opposed religion yet made not a single mention of a Jesus or Christianity!
Even funnier is trying to claim Celsus AD ? – 177 AD Who said that Jesus was a Jew who’se mother was a poor Jewish girl whose husband, who was a carpenter, drove her away because of her adultery with a Roman soldier named Panthera. She gave birth to an illegitimate child named Jesus. In Egypt, Jesus became learned in sorcery and upon his return presented himself as a god.
Research shows education reduces religious belief but each year of education more than the basic reduces it by 10%!

Religion is guilty of many atrocities toward mankind. It has lied about God, it has deceived much of the world. And due to this many people are fed up with religion, but sadly they mistakenly blame God instead of reading their Bible and doing research on what they read.
Religion seeks to write history that camouflages her prolonged silence on the atrocities of dictatorships and hushes up her conniving with them. These religions did not do anything to stop people of the same religion from slaughtering one another. For instance, in World War II, Catholic killed Catholic and Protestant killed Protestant because they were of different nationalities and on opposing sides. Both sides claimed to be Christian but practiced what was totally contrary to Jesus’ teachings.
Many people have WOKE-up and they have now learned the true teachings of the Bible. With this Bible education, they have turned their lives around and become better fathers, mothers, sons and daughter. They now have happy lives, free of the falsehoods that false religion teaches.
They now recognized what a true Christian is and they make great strides in following the example of Jesus Christ. As Jehovah's Witnesses many of us who were apart of these religions were not WOKE, but now we are very, very appreciative that we are now.

theyre typically so out of touch with reality they wouldnt know it if was hanging off of their rear end .. Christianity is under attack because it is adamantly against the globalist narrative and likens it to ' the anti christ' system ... so theyre trying to stamp it down from the top .. if you read the writings of the globalist 'mouth pieces' they outright tell you in plain english that christianity 'must go' ...

What do they mean by waking up to reality? Ask them that. Ask them what reality? Where's the proof that God doesn't exist?

Christianity is the biggest joke and who made it that way? You Christians did! Very poor representation of your loving god by the hatred you have and that you display to all that are not christians...christianity means bigotry, hate, discrimination, hypocrisy, perversion and murder. Who in their right mind would want that horrible association???
