If it invokes discussion or meant to provide opinion or expound on the beliefs of any religion, that's against the no religion rules.

As a Christian it is my duty, and joy, to edify others of the faith. As for what it means to edify: to build up. To say something to strengthen another's faith. To remind you that you are loved by God and forgiven for your sins. Also Making people smile.

I don't know how to use emojis on the forum but Imagine I'm giving you a really intense thumbs up.

You're correct. I also know that Jerusalem, omitting the "Jer" for "Jew" (w's didn't exist yet), uru meant "found", and I'll get to "salem" in a second after this: Jerusalem translates into "Jewish foundation of "Salem"". Jerusalem used to be a Canaanite city and "Salem" was their god of dusk. History is interesting, truly... I want to know why you brought up Constantinople/Istanbul (which both have the same translation).

I brought it up because op is trying to edify Christianity, which Paul asked for the reason. I made a joke about op's motive being to do the crusades again and that's how we got the 1204 A.D incident and its lasting consequences on the Orthodox branch.

And I do know that Istanbul is a corrupted version of how Greeks called the city. A lot of names are like that, especially when put through the Anglicization filter.

Yeah, that causes all kinds of confusion throughout history. I have a tendency to call it "bastardization". :blob_dizzy:

Corruption is the more commonly used term by linguists and academics. And it gets confusing especially with things like inventions and native produce. Since a lot of languages just use loan words for many things that have foreign origin. Overall, etymology is really interesting. Such as when it extends to slurs.

I was raised Catholic, and I still believe some parts of the story, but given that the Bible was written by men, and at least one of those men was a jerk, I don't follow things to the letter. I believe that there is a little bit of God in everyone, so the way I pray is very personal. I pray to Jesus sometimes, but I don't do it often.

Umm... I don't remember what its called, but I got registered as a member of some christian church... back when I were still and infant I think... and I pay some related taxes... Weddings, funerals, etc, tend to involve priests and churches and such as well, but beyond those, I am not really involved...

I think Jesus is kind of like King Arthur, or Merlin, or such, in that maybe he is based on a real person who lived long ago, or maybe he is multiple historical figures rolled into one, or maybe he is as fictional as Darth Vader... In any case, I don't believe any supernatural events ever happened...

Am I a christian?
