People who identify as Christians are usually hypocrites. The majority are Christian in name only and only go to church on special occasions and maybe not even then. Most of them know very little about the Bible and actually reading the Bible is what turns people to atheism. I’m not sure I believe that there is anyone on earth who genuinely believes that the Bible is 100% factual and the word of God. it would be a terrifying thing to actually believe given how evil and inconsistent the God portrayed in the Bible is. People who claim to believe it pick and choose and make excuses for the parts they don’t like
Yeah, because Christian Nationalism has never been about Christianity, it’s about ethnic cleansing. They just wrapped their message in religion to make it more palatable.
See also Russell Brand only becoming “christian” when he gets accused of being a rapist.
its on “brand”
I appreciate some religious people trying to distance themselves from the shitty ones, really, I do.
But people who do stuff that isn’t normal for a thing that only they believe in or know about still really shakes my faith in the social contract with them.
Add on to that that the bad people share the same beliefs makes predicting when evil behavior or shadowy fucked up evil behavior is gonna happen really difficult.
And then finally, that bad stuff happens overwhelmingly often from the people that believe that stuff… I have a hard time not believing they’re all bad. I know they probably aren’t, but the vast majority of them have been hostile and crazy and freak me out and I just stay away because I don’t need to deal with that and it’s just easier and safer for me to avoid them and warn others like me.
No offense, religgies. ✌️ 🕊️
My holy book says “you can rape the children of your enemy” and “beat your wife and your kids, but try not to do it too much” and “everyone else will suffer more than the human mind can conceive”
But I only practice that last one.
IMO, does not make someone “one of the good ones”, and I hope they take it to heart that I think they are no better than the overtly murderous and racist ones. Because they are separated but by the width of a hair from the pocket-foreskin of their savior.
“Not all Scotsmen”
Yes. And when this happens:
Add on to that that the bad people share the same beliefs makes predicting when evil behavior or shadowy fucked up evil behavior is gonna happen really difficult.
…the response is usually “well, they weren’t really christian.” The implication being “they based their morality on an unreachable source with divine authority and committed their lives to it in a BAD way, I’m doing it in a GOOD way.”
Magical thinking is deadly.
I am not religious, but I think the following phrase suits “the devil will quote scripture if it suits his purpose.”
Weird that apparently English churches make you more accepting of others and american churches introduce you to other members of the cult.
Gee, just like across the pond - who coulda guessed that a bunch of hypocritical haters didn’t actually follow the teachings they claim to support? It’s all in keeping with their “rules for thee, but not for me” bullshit.
🤨
When Richard Dawkins called himself “culturally Christian” I threw up a little in my mouth.
Western civilization gets its guilt/innocence culture due in no small part to Xtian influence.
well, that would be most of the UK yeah ?
he’d the exchange gifts at “Christmas”, similarly at Easter, that sort of stuff, which is about my limit as well… rather than a fire cracker at Diwali and wash your hands in some cow urine ?
You seem like a genuinely horrible person.
