    The best part is when God goes " see that guy over there, he believes so much in me, i will torment him beyond reason to proof his dedication to me"

    There are so many of these terrible examples of god being this huge asshole. When i read the bible in my early teens, it was reading the bible that ‘made me an atheist’. Seeing that people took this asshole god serious.

    Over the years i did get to learn more about Jesus, he is the proto-hippy about sharing love and kindness. But somehow, very few christians follow up on his words and teachings. Christians actively chosing to be assholes when they have Jesus as a deity in their mythological fanfinction. It boggles the mind.

      I think my favorite morality-thing to bring up is Song of Solomon.

      Especially when people get on about purity culture. It’s Bronze Age porn.

      I mean, yeah. god is a raging asshole, but that one usually gets more entertaining reactions.

      Yup, I don’t believe in God, if he is real, I wouldn’t want to follow him anyways…
