So translated from Spanish she said along the lines of: "Religion makes Satan stronger than God in it's teachings."
me: floored
gma: It's true, mija.
Explain more.
I'll try. It's kinda hard to translate it cohesively from spanish to english because the woman also speaks in riddles.
Basically what she said is that if God is all knowing and all powerful as is told then nothing, especially one of his creations would be able to tempt humanity into darkness and evil. Even with 'Free Will', we are made in God's image to be perfectly imperfect, our souls are a piece of him and should therefore be unable to be influenced against him.
She also went on about how the church uses Satan (satanas) to put fear into the masses so they are easily controlled by the church.
Mind you, this woman prays a rosary at lest 3 times a day (a couple more if I'm coming over–I'm her 'problem grandchild.) so for her to say this was really insane.
I…I think your grandma might be fae….
Or a deity.
I don't even know her but I love her.
She's a primordial being and completely loves to hate me because she said "you're too full of magic for men to love you."
I WAS 15. WTF GRANDMA.

Not to be overdramatic but I would die for this wonderful force of nature.

I dunno, I still don't think any human can be more likable than my grandpa

If that was the case then how is this evil in existence?
Idk about your perfectly imperfect bit. Not Christian doctrine by any means.
Well firstly– she's not christian. :P If you wanna get technical.
I don't know how to answer your question?
I want to restate something that has already been clearly established. Eris your grandmother is awesome.

Why does she pray a rosary then?
Catholic is Christian. In fact, Catholic is an original part of when the church split. It’s one of the most Christian churches there is.
i dont even know, i'm just joining the conversation with no context
Trust. There is still a difference. Especially to an old timey Hispanic Catholic who's name literally translates to "Mary of the Rosery Of God"
Oh? Interesting. Explain please.
well i am, baptised into the roamn church and everything, but i dont fully believe in their system
Same with me, Catholic, but like… Not really.
yes, other catholics! i go to a christian school, did you know they dont believe in saints?? so there is no mary mackillop, no xavier or nagle, NONE OF THAT?!
Yay, more Catholics!!!
I am extremely dedicated to the teachings though
YAY CATHOLICS!
we should start a catholic cult aha
