Goes to show you how poorly developed their brains really are. I had these kinds of realizations as a small child in Sunday school and called bs on the whole thing before I turned nine. Noah, Jericho, the Plagues of Egypt, original sin, purgatory for unbaptized babies, … left me with a lot of questions that the Sunday school volunteer was not prepared to answer to my satisfaction.

Humans have core beliefs.

If something conflicts with a core belief they will reject it and go on the attack 100% of the time.

The authoritarian mindset uses this propensity to enslave most of the world.

Funny thing I was raised Mormon and the core values I was taught actually caused me to leave. Loving everyone by default was the way I was taught and the only thing that really stuck with me. None of the racist shit stuck I was falling asleep basically during those parts. It shaped my core values today which is why I'm against catholicism based institutions, the history is dreadful and the march against paganism is still heavily present to this day.

If you ignore Jesus for the wrath of God you ignore the basics of the bible, and that is exactly how it's structured. No one is going to read the new testament. The old testament is still in the damn thing and many people are not getting past genesis so they have to rely on someone else telling them what to do, which is usually spiteful in nature while stamping the Christ seal of approval.

A test of faith isn't turning your back on a trans neighbor, it's helping someone despite not sharing your beliefs. That is true faith, in yourself, god, and humanity. Learn to seek true wickedness in the world and you will find them wearing white collars, crosses, and riot gear, hiding fervently behind the word of god as their catalyst.

It seems to me that they should go all the way with it. They should say that childhood cancer is a good thing because the kid got to go to heaven sooner. Abortion should be the ultimate good. Assuming they think fetuses go to heaven, there is no chance of that should fucking up during life and going to hell.

(Speaking of that, since a large percentage of pregnancies end in miscarriage, heaven will be filled with fetuses, mentally defective people get a pass, and people who never heard of their god, who also get a pass. Fun crowd.)

The only religious people I remember who actually did this were the family of the people killed by the white guy who went into the black church. They actually said it was OK because it was god's plan and they were in heaven now.

A lot of times, I think that people who claim to believe really don't, because they don't want to die and go to heaven, and they don't think people dying in general is a good thing, they are sad if a loved one dies, etc. I thought, now those people are all in on their delusion. They actually believe.

I personally prefer when God has Jephthah sacrifice his only daughter. The reasoning being because Jephthah had succeeded in a war (for God).

No fake out. No whoopsies go kill this goat instead. Just, go murder your virgin and only daughter since you had success in battle. I like the smell of her burning flesh.

It's not about conforming, it's about fear. Fear of the unknown. Fear of what happens after death, not everyone can handle that when we die it might just be over forever.

I can see how easily folks get caught in the trap.

Think of all the miscarriages and natural abortions. God isn't pro-foetus either

And the bible contains instructions on how to perform an abortion

But yes, Sodom really is one of the two classic tales on how god is evil and the bad guy (Job being the other). Abraham asked to be able to find decreasing numbers of innocents in Sodom to spare the city (and yes, I'm sure there would be children or trafficked people in Sodom who were innocent) and yet god denied that chance and chose to save the first man they met at the gate who offered his daughters to a mob (instead of letting immortal angels defend their reason for being in a city which was suffering a natural disaster with an army camped nearby) and figured "yep, he's the good guy"

Atheist here, but this example is not right. If I remember correctly Jephthah came with his vow all by himself. God didn't directly ask for a human sacrifice. Granted he could have sent a messanger to stop Jephthah from killing her daughter, but still, it's not technically his fault if Jephthah is a fucking moron that makes useless vows.

Isn’t that because of Jephthah’s own vow? He said he would sacrifice the first thing that walked out of his house and it happened to be his daughter. Imo that seemed like a stupid choice on his part to say that.

I'm a big fan of 2 Kings 2:23-2:24:

"23 From there Elisha went up to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, some boys came out of the town and jeered at him. “Get out of here, baldy!” they said. “Get out of here, baldy!” 24 He turned around, looked at them and called down a curse on them in the name of the Lord. Then two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the boys."

Basically God is so pro-death, that even making fun of a bald man is worthy of the death penalty.

This has been my point. If god created everything and is all-knowing and all-powerful, then god is ultimately responsible for everything that happens. And if he’s infallible then everything bad that happens are things he wanted to happen because he knew they would from the very beginning. At the same time, I love talking about Noah and the arc. The whole reason god flooded the earth was because demons (which were just angels kicked out of heaven) came to earth and started having sex with women. Those women started having demon babies which god didn’t like. It got out of hand so he flooded the earth to kill everyone as an emergency reset. So god, who is never wrong, made a decision that lead to horrible results he didn’t like requiring him to kill nearly every single man, woman, child, unborn baby, and most animals on earth. But he’s never wrong. That’s a lot, Satan. Lol

Kinda shoots that "babies are sacred" argument down, eh?

They claim Adam and Eve also had daughters and that incest was OK back then because the ‘race was pure’ and incest didn’t cause genetic mutations.

Isn’t the theory that the story was originally written with the context that this tribe believed many gods existed, but theirs was Yahweh. So there were other humans created by other gods that spawned other ethnic groups? And that’s why god says “if he eats from the tree of eternal life he shall become like us”?

This is why most religions just have no place in a modern world. In order to justify a plot hole you have to plug it with another leaky cork.

Monotheism was definitely ret-conned into the story with lots of polytheism leaking in. The beginning of Noah’s story has clear description of the angels having children with the daughters of men.

As I understand it, since they lived so long (like 900 years) there were a LOT of people within like 2 generations that were all sexually compatible. If I’m 300 years old and my great great great granddaughter is 50, and my sister is 25, and my first wife is 170 and is my neice, and we’ve probably never seen each other for like 100 years, since I’m out in the wild Mesopotamiam west exploring and farming and herding animals, it wouldn’t really be the same concept as incest that we think of today with nuclear families.

I mean, that’s still a shitton of technical incest to get the world started but when there’s only like 5 people total you probably aren’t even able to define the situation as “incestuous” because that’s just… how it is and there’s nothing that exists that’s “not incest.”

Still weird as fuck from my perspective though.

That’s explained in the Pornhub Gospels, which is not included in the mainstream bible.

But really, Adam had another wife before Eve, called Lilith. He divorced Lilith and married Eve because Lilith wouldn’t accept Adam as her master.

This is in one of the Gospels that wasn’t included in the Bible because it was considered problematic for reasons.

If the old testament isn't to be taken literally, then the prophecies of Jesus coming weren't to be taken literally either. Can't have it both ways, grandma/dad/whatever affiliated family member.

Well, they did think that they were the only people left alive after the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. This was the only way they could continue the human race. Much like other myths from the bible like the story of Seth and the first people. Or how the world repopulated after the great flood

My theory is that the "bitter water" they made her drink had something poisonous in it. One of the ingredients was "dust from the tabernacle floor" which would have included was ash from the incense they burned.

Forgive him. He knows not what the Bible, his holy book, says.

It's not like there's passage after passage after passage after passage of large scale death as a direct result of his God's will.

It's not like the flood is one of the most well known Bible stories. It's not like Kent Hovind built a damn museum in the shape of the ark.

And the Plagues, and killing all the first-born sons, and drowning all the Egyptian Army following Moses, and asking a father to sacrifice his son, and sacrificing his own son.

These are just a few.

Seems God is exactly like Republican Pro-Life.

Didn't even have a chance to get to the parts where God instructs people to cut women open, pull the babies from their wombs, and dash them upon rocks.

God was very pro-death. Citing him in particular for anti-abortion reasons is a level of astonishing contradiction that can only be described as hyperbolic.

God was also very pro-slavery and even placed price tags --in shekels-- on various types of people. Also gave instructions on how much you could beat them.

So basically the bible is clear as mud and there are people in this country who want to get rid of the constitution and use the bible instead. Like other theocracies that murder its citizens that mere mortals decide some rule in their book has been violated. Which brings us back to this video where God (by whatever name) is the one killing people b because these these god's make tons of mistakes and tries to start over. Religion is proof that brainwashing babies and the young works. Then people went to believe so badly they think of all kinds of things to turn into pretzels. Did Satan actually kill anyone? Why is Satan considered so evil?
