      It matters because it’s less critical of the creed and more of people being (selectively?) illiterate and intellectually lazy misogynistic dumbasses!

        Tbf, followers being illiterate, intellectually-lazy, misogynistic dumbasses is one of the biggest problems with modern Christianity, I think the ridicule is deserved.

          All christianity, since always. It is founded on vague, contradictory bullshit that necessitates individual interpretation if one wants to pretend any of it is true.

            Fair point! I guess I just wasn’t around to witness the other versions, so I can’t speak to them as confidently.

              I wasn’t there, either. But have you read the bible? It was absolutely written by:

              illiterate, intellectually-lazy, misogynistic dumbasses

              First example I can think of: Snake told Eve to eat fruit. Eve relayed the info to Adam. Adam and Eve ate the fruit. Eve gets all the blame.

              If an all-powerful god allowed this to happen, it’s because he wanted it to. But he punished his creations for being the way he created them.

              The bible exists to normalize abuse.

                I don’t really disagree with anything except the claim that a book was written by illiterates lol

                There’s no way to force people to act right without also deleting free will, man. Of course God wanted to create at least one sandbox with free-willed intelligent beings in it. Only God knows why, but evidently we’re all grateful for it whether we say it or not or else at least a majority of people would commit suicide. 😅

                  So god is not all-powerful?

                  Education is the way forward. People will act right when they realize it benefits everybody, when they realize we’re all going to die if we don’t improve our behavior.

                  I have been suicidal all my life. I was abused by my christian parents. Please stop defending death cults.

                    I’m not Christian, as you can see by criticism of Roman Catholicism and offshoots here. And no, if God Himself wanted to make people he couldn’t control, because He decided so, how would He? He can just remake a universe of actual sims if he wanted to.

                    And hey, you’re not the only one who has had it hard because of Christians/so called religious people, I get it and I’m sorry. I’m not defending them here.

                    “If the gift of life was a horrible experience most people would end their lives” has nothing to do with my or anyone’s ideology???
