    Christians. Making God seem like a massive asshole for millennia.

    And God not smiting them.

    Maybe “he” is an asshole.

        My favorite story from the Bibble is when during the march of the penguins Hebrews to Canaan, the Hebrews got hungry and whiney. I would likely feel the same taking 40 years to get out of the desert (biblical numerology meaning why the fuck are we still in the desert Moses how do you get lost when you can see the sea and only have to march 450ish miles (at an ungenerous 5 miles per day that takes 3 months)). So YHWH sent them magical floor-bread every night. Then the Hebrews collectively rejected the concept of divine floor-bread and demanded holy floor-meat. So YHWH sent so many quail quesadillas to the Hebrew invasion march that they (and this imagery is part of the Bibble) were so full of quail that it came out their noses. I think the version I read first time said they ate quail until they vomited out they nose, all of them did it’s in numbers. At… I can’t remember the supposed numbers of the mythical march out of Egypt but let’s say 50k-100k people (per tribe? Idk just multiply by 12 I ain’t being paid to be a calculator right now) that’s so much vomit.

        Goofy ol YHWH. Act like you don’t like his magic floor bread and he’ll send quails to run around in your sinuses or whatever.

              Oh most certainly I’m just pointing out that Bible literalism dies on the throne of ancient culture, another one is forty days and forty nights most likely just means a long time.

              As you noted it’s still got a enough kick to it that you could revive it easily.

    Old people raving about religious crap should be committed to a home and not allowed to drive or vote.

    …and then God put them on Earth where the humans live, just like everything else on flags. Are you saying that was unintentional? God made a mistake??? WHAT THE FUCK?? HANG THIS HERETIC!!!

    The breadth of senseless violence caused by men with rapist tendencies goes beyond the simple act of rape. It is appalling just how many people have been harmed due to what is effectively projection from straight men.

    This is my favorite alt-right move.

    “Racism/sexism/cultural appropriation/systemic inequality doesn’t exist, but if it did, hetero white Christian American men would be the victims.”
