A song I wrote about my parents.

I am not a professional musician, I am a broken human being.

"Ever since I was a little child,

I asked my mother why we believe in god.

She told me that he loves us, with a smile...

But that answer always kind of struck me as a little odd.

Because I was a better reader than my parents.

The bible's god and their god weren't the same.

Any honest kid can see there is no defense

For the psycho who will kill you if you mispronounce his name!

That ain't love...

That ain't love.

There ain't no hate like christian "love".

That ain't love...

That ain't love.

When all you have to be is honest, LYING IS NOT LOVE.

Maybe if you ever had a real friend,

You would understand just what you took.

But jesus pleased you more than your own children,

So you sacrificed us all to the death god in your stupid book!

You never ever really learned what love is.

You sold us for your own disgusting lie.

You used VIOLENCE on your BABIES to ENFORCE it

And it ruined my whole goddam motherfucking ONLY LIFE!!!

That ain't love...

That ain't love.

There ain't no hate like christian "love".

That ain't love...

That ain't love.

When all you have to be is honest, LYING IS NOT LOVE.

I guess I'll do my best to wind this song down.

Thinking about you makes me want to scream.

So before I go, let me alert the whole town:

To never let your children close to JOHN STOWE or CHRISTINE.

Because these two are the FUCKERS who ABUSED ME-

...

Because these two are the FUCKERS who ABUSED ME.

I begged for them to stop, they told me "NO".

So if you, my friends, could all join me in cursing

Until my dying breath, the liars: JOHN AND CHRISTINE STOWE.

That ain't love...

That ain't love.

There ain't no hate like christian "love".

That ain't love...

That ain't love.

When all you have to be is honest, LYING IS NOT LOVE.

When all you have to be is patient, VIOLENCE IS NOT LOVE.

When all you have to be is GIVING, TAKING IS NOT LOVE.

When all you have to be is LOVING, HATRED IS NOT LOVE.

...and FUCK YOU. for RUINING my life."

Have you ever tried Muslim love?

The abrahamic faiths sure are a treat for humanity. Would be way cooler if like Jainism or Sikhism was a major default religion.

Would be way cooler if Religion as a whole would go the way of the Sabletooth Tiger.

Fuck dude, just ... fuck. I'm sorry you had to endure this, and I hope you can heal one day. Rather sooner than later, if I had to decide.

One of the main killers is politics and I doubt we are chucking moral and ethical philosophy as well as everyone's debates about it out the window. That's to say we can get all the same genocides and torment without anyone calling upon the supernatural and unfortunately we do.

Thank you. I suspect I will be dealing with echoes of my trauma all my life. I have to remind myself that my parents were and are wrong, that I do not deserve to be hit. I have dealt with suicidal ideations all my life, my parents were hurting me before I could consciously understand anything.

The abrahamic faiths are death cults and should be opposed. What happened to me and worse is still happening to others all over the world.

But we should still oppose superstition and we should correct wrong beliefs. Magical thinking makes accountability impossible.

You blame "politics," but what would politics look like if no one could lie? I suspect we would finally work together to do what's best for us all. We can't stop people from lying, but we can stop accepting faulty excuses. There is no evidence, argument, or reason for anyone to believe in any god. Only fallacies. But when people are allowed to believe whatever they want, abusers take that as far as they possibly can.

Huge hugs. You've been abused and it's going to hurt for a long time.
I want to say that you're not alone and many people are recovering from similar abuse. Much of life is finding the people who will make your life better. Finding your people takes time, but it's possible.
I wish more people realized that your blood family is only a starting group of party members. You sometimes need to cut party members and find new ones. Family is what you choose to make of it, not what the universe has decided for you.

It hurts now, but you're still alive. They tried to ruin you forever, but recovering, growing, and living well is the best thing to do for you, and something that will hurt them to their graves. Take the high road, find new people to travel with, and don't look back. Each day is a new one with chances to be better than the last and you can do this.

Brother, I hope you heal.

Please stop associating Christianity as a whole with the people that hurt you.

Please use your goddam brain, fucking moron.

The bible compels people to abuse themselves and each other.

Christianity is a cancer.

There is no christ. There is no god.

Grow the fuck up. Your death cult is killing us all.

I can't heal while the knife is still in. Get your goddam hand off the handle.

I have another song, for people like you: https://snoopsqueak.com/videos/fys

YouTube version, though you have to sign in due to the nature of the lyrics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7dWyYeOBkg

My life is not yours to throw away, shitbag. More real children are abused every day in the name of a god that does not exist. I'm relatively lucky. I'm still alive to talk about it.

Now stop killing us. I am not your brother. My brother was arrested for making a "christ-damn promise" to shoot up a Spurs game. Where do you reckon that came from?

Stop choosing death.

God is real.

Brother, watch this video and review it's contents with an open mind.

https://youtu.be/WCfbS4k1KNc

Your brother, Christopher Stowe, did what he did not because he believed in God, but because of his mental state

"Video unavailable." I'm not signed in to YouTube on my phone.

I am an atheist because I see no reason to believe the baseless claim that any god exists.

Did you watch any of my videos with an open mind? Here is one explicitly about why I don't believe in god: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgC2juc3Rx4

Non YouTube version: https://snoopsqueak.com/videos/disproving-god

Your brother, Christopher Stowe, did what he did not because he believed in God, but because of his mental state

You're so close. Connect the dots. Who ruined his mental state and why? It was our christian parents doing what the bible explicitly commands. Hitting their children before we were old enough to understand anything. Lying to us every day about god, heaven, hell, and christ.

It's a death cult. Stop defending child abuse.

I watched your videos but it's full of absurd takes like "Jod". God can't be created as he would rely on his creator and thus not be God.

"God would be subject to the same limitations as everyone else" ??? He isn't, he's God. Our omnipotent creator is of a different nature than us.

It works for me, I'm not signed in too

the Bible does not command the senseless beating of children

That's the special pleading fallacy. You can't define god into existence. If you can, I can define jod into existence. Play fair, people are dying for this shit.

How much child-beating do you believe is sensible?

Are you saying they should never be stoned to death in the public square? The bible says otherwise.

If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who will not obey the voice of his father or the voice of his mother, and, though they discipline him, will not listen to them, then his father and his mother shall take hold of him and bring him out to the elders of his city at the gate of the place where he lives, and they shall say to the elders of his city, ‘This our son is stubborn and rebellious; he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton and a drunkard.’ Then all the men of the city shall stone him to death with stones. So you shall purge the evil from your midst, and all Israel shall hear, and fear.

Are you saying children shouldn't be hit with a rod? The bible says otherwise.

Whoever spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is diligent to discipline him.

Folly is bound up in the heart of a child, but the rod of discipline drives it far from him.

And before you say something like "it's actually a shepherd's rod used to guide-" Nope, it's explicitly for striking children:

Do not withhold discipline from a child; if you strike him with a rod, he will not die. If you strike him with the rod, you will save his soul from Sheol.

I called my mom a bitch because she made excuses for abusing us instead of admitting it was wrong. Should I be put to death?

For anyone who curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death; he has cursed his father or his mother; his blood is upon him.

People like you are the reason my parents are getting away with child abuse.

It works for me, I'm not signed in too

Probably my VPN. Thank you for at least taking a look at what I have to say. I am angry because others have it even worse than I do, and it's completely unnecessary. Stupid, selfish people believe in magic and treat their own children like property as a direct result.

Our omnipotent creator is of a different nature than us.

You believe god is all-powerful? So you must also believe he does not love us. Why else would he create suffering?

Before you try to use "free will" as an excuse, there is no free will with an omnipotent god. He could create anything any way, he knew what would happen, and he chose to give children cancer. That is psychotic.

Just sensible utter destruction of children:

"Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass."

can I have the verses? And the old testament was fulfilled by Christ. That's why we can mix fabrics and eat shellfish

It's not special pleading if it's actually special.

Do you actually think an omnipotent creator would be bound by the same constraints as us?

https://www.regnumchristi.com/en/ask-a-priest-why-does-god-allow-so-much-pain-and-suffering/

Prove that it's actually special.

You can't.

You're making a deadly assertion with zero evidence.

The existence of suffering absolutely disproves any god that is both loving and powerful.

If god is all-powerful, literally everything that happens is his choice, including free will and what we do with it.

I personally don't believe in free will, exactly like I don't believe in god. There is no evidence for it.

Stop defending death cults. Real people are dying for your fake god.

can I have the verses?

You lack a functioning search engine? Fine, I'll do your goddam homework for you.

If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who will not obey the voice of his father or the voice of his mother, and, though they discipline him, will not listen to them, then his father and his mother shall take hold of him and bring him out to the elders of his city at the gate of the place where he lives, and they shall say to the elders of his city, ‘This our son is stubborn and rebellious; he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton and a drunkard.’ Then all the men of the city shall stone him to death with stones. So you shall purge the evil from your midst, and all Israel shall hear, and fear.

That's Deuteronomy 21:18-21.

Whoever spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is diligent to discipline him.

Proverbs 13:24.

Folly is bound up in the heart of a child, but the rod of discipline drives it far from him.

Proverbs 22:15.

Do not withhold discipline from a child; if you strike him with a rod, he will not die. If you strike him with the rod, you will save his soul from Sheol.

Proverbs 23:13.

For anyone who curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death; he has cursed his father or his mother; his blood is upon him.

Exodus 21:17.

And the old testament was fulfilled by Christ. That's why we can mix fabrics and eat shellfish

He "fulfilled" commands to take slaves and rape them? What do you think "fulfilled" means?

If you believe Jesus is god, then you believe Jesus commanded those things. Even if he later changed his mind and/or the law, he still commanded heinous abuse. You cannot excuse that.

Also, his entire pitch is "submit completely to me or be punished for all time."

There ain't no hate like christian love.

https://youtu.be/W6dC2eKQBFc

Stop defending child abuse.

Stop defending baseless death cults.

He created us, right? He is thus of a different nature than us as our nature had not existed before he created it

did you read what I sent you?

And an omnipotent God gave us free will, but chooses not to take it away. Free will is a beautiful miracle.

Deuteronomy 21:20 And they shall say to them: ‘This our son is reckless and disobedient. He shows contempt when listening to our admonitions. He occupies himself with carousing, and self-indulgence, and feasting.’

this verse is focused more on the sin of gluttony

Fulfilled means that those precepts were written in preparation of Christ, and Christ has come, and suffered on the Cross and rose again.

Exodus 21, again, has been fulfilled.

Can I have the slaves and rape verses?

Mark 10:5 But Jesus responded by saying: “It was due to the hardness of your heart that he wrote that precept for you.

He created us, right?

Wrong. Why do you keep pretending this is a fact?

He is thus of a different nature than us as our nature had not existed before he created it

Weird use of "nature". So who or what created god?

Maybe the universe is of a different "nature" to us and always existed. We don't know, so stop pretending.

Yes, and you ignored the counterargument.

The existence of suffering absolutely disproves any god that is both loving and powerful.

If god is all-powerful, literally everything that happens is his choice, including free will and what we do with it.

Your version of god knew what we would do with our free will, including all the suffering that comes with it, and still chose to create us. Your god chose suffering. That is not love.

this verse is focused more on the sin of gluttony

That verse advocates for stoning a child to death. Stop ignoring the point.

Fulfilled means that those precepts were written in preparation of Christ, and Christ has come, and suffered on the Cross and rose again.

God needed slave rape to prepare for christ?

Exodus 21, again, has been fulfilled.

Hey fuckass, stop ignoring my points. Address this:

Even if he later changed his mind and/or the law, he still commanded heinous abuse. You cannot excuse that.

You can find slave rape multiple times throughout the bible. Abram and his wife's slave in Genesis. Moses's army taking the virgins for themselves in Numbers. David's wives being raped in 2 Samuel.

Do some reading for yourself. Stop cherry picking and stop ignoring how blatantly abusive your god is.

Fortunately for us, he is not real. Unfortunately for us, you are real, and other real people are DYING for the bullshit you refuse to stop spouting.

Be more honest. There is no reason to believe this deadly nonsense. Stop being selfish. No one is going to hell, no one is going to heaven, focus on real life.

God cannot be created or else he wouldn't be God.

Read Aquinas

Deuteronomy 22:25 But if a man discovers, in the countryside, a girl who has been betrothed, and, apprehending her, he lies with her, then he alone shall die.

Deuteronomy 22:26 The girl shall suffer nothing, nor is she guilty unto death. For just as a robber rises up against his brother and slays his life, so also did the girl suffer greatly.

The Bible does not condone rape, it speaks out against it.

And the word is "Son", not "child". I don't think a 10 year old occupies himself with carousing and feasting

Did you know that saying something doesn't make it true? I have read Aquinas. He's full of shit and so are you. You have no argument supporting god's existence.

The Bible does not condone rape, it speaks out against it.

Wrong.

What happened when Sarah's slave ran away after being raped? God sent an angel to tell her to go back and have the child for her rapists.

Why did god explicitly command Moses and his army to take child sex slaves?

Why would god have David's wives raped if he did not condone it?

Even Mary was raped. The angel did not ask her consent, he told her she was going to give birth.

Fuck you for defending rape, stupid death cultist.

People are dying because you're a hopeless, selfish idiot.

God cannot be created or else he wouldn't be God.

You cannot define god into existence. Provide evidence for his existence. You can't.

Luke 1:38 Then Mary said: “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. Let it be done to me according to your word.” And the Angel departed from her.

can I have the verses?

there is a lot of philosophical proof for God's existence

Did you research the Principle for Sufficient Reason?

Everything that exists has a sufficient reason to exist

Tell me, what is your reason?

I said:

The angel did not ask her consent, he told her she was going to give birth.

You quoted the bible:

Luke 1:38 Then Mary said: “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. Let it be done to me according to your word.” And the Angel departed from her.

But you conveniently left out the fucking rape immediately before that:

29 Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. 30 But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God. 31 You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus. 32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, 33 and he will reign over Jacob’s descendants forever; his kingdom will never end.”

34 “How will this be,” Mary asked the angel, “since I am a virgin?”

35 The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God. 36 Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be unable to conceive is in her sixth month. 37 For no word from God will ever fail.”

What were her options? Say "no" and be damned to hell, or have a baby she doesn't want?

Her consent was not a factor. It was rape.

Philosophy is "some guy said ___." I am asking for actual evidence.

Everything that exists has a sufficient reason to exist

Including god, then? So Jod is real?

Can you use fucking google, you stupid fucking sea lion?

What happened when Sarah's slave ran away after being raped? God sent an angel to tell her to go back and have the child for her rapists.

Genesis 16:3-15.

Why did god explicitly command Moses and his army to take child sex slaves?

Numbers 31:17-18.

Why would god have David's wives raped if he did not condone it?

2 Samuel 20-23

Bonuses:
Deuteronomy 20:14
Deuteronomy 21:10-14

There are more.

God exists on a completely different plane of reality from us, can you stop trying to portray him as an equal to us?

again, what is your reason?

philosophy is NOT "some guy said x"

She wanted Jesus, first of all

and this was NOT rape in the slightest

the "greatly troubled" part is just her being afraid and in awe. Wouldn't you be too if an angel of the Lord appeared before you?

God doesn't exist at all, can you stop lying about shit?

Tell me your philosophical "proof" then, and I'll tell you which fallacy it is.
