Jesus would be ashamed

Marco's racist-ass supply side god

Its OK, he apologised to god afterward

Book of Karen: verse 1 chapter 0

...and so it was that Karen did flip the table, for she was tired of the terrible service. The people around her in the "Chilli's" all turned their heads in a singular motion towards her. Several loud 'cracks' could be heard; for they hadn't turned their heads in years. Their necks were for up and down..for music and phone; not the unexpected actions of a woman scorned by "Chilli's".

She demanded a blooming onion, not the unkindly service of those who care only for money and time off to spend it.

Somehow it's evil if government acts on the Bible, unless it's the punitive and murderous parts. Government should do those things, clearly /s

Chapter 0, Verse 1 starts in medias res? that's some fucking Karen shit right there alright.

Jesus would die in an ICE detention center

Jesus would be called a woke, radical-left, Democrat terrorist, libtard snowflake, then deported.

Evangelicals Are Now Rejecting ‘Liberal’ Teachings of Jesus

I've seen Christians argue that good works should be from the individual not from the government. "But God acted to put this government in place so you can act" typically isn't compelling, because they just make up stuff to justify what they wanted to do anyway.

As far as holy books go, The Bible sets one of the worst moral standards to follow. These shitheads can't even live up to that.

I'd buy your gospel

Well you see, if you blend the camel into a slurry, dilute it down, and then shoot it through it in a thin stream, threading the eye of the needle is no problem

Fash gonna fash. The actual problem is the fact that we live under the violent control of these creeps.

The most harmful religion by far: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_religion

Right, they need to think of the government as separate and not subject to the moral principles of religion, unless of course it is something that hurts people they like, in that case it's a moral imperative that the government act. Somehow. They'll explain it in the dumbest fucking way possible and act like you're the problem when you point out what a fucked up cop out it is.

I know this is the atheism community but a part of me always will think that religion is not the problem here, it's terrible people using it as an excuse to do shitty things. They don't need it to really make sense, but sound just logical enough to the dumbed down masses to gain traction and pressure even some of the smarter people into thinking in these toxic ways.

Always has been. Don't let the "good ones" convince you that there's some redeeming quality to Christianity.

Or to any religion, for that matter

I think I'm gonna start calling this the atheist equivalent of "all lives matter".

Ya gotta ditch that woke hippie shit. I like to embrace my fears and insecurities and then find the parts of scripture that really seem to fit my personal ethos.

This is the very essence of Christian Nationalism.

The Elon Musk solution.

Organized religion is just a tool utilized to control people. Nothing more.

So, to get into heaven, we just need to blend billionaires into a slurry?

Sounds reasonable.

Do what you want, but the normalization of magical thinking is a net negative for society and it's wild that we just accept everyone's fairy tales as worthy of respect.

Having been forced to study the Bible as a child is so frustrating now.
It's like "you're not even doing the evil things you signed on for the right way!"

Oh hey, it’s Fatty Chardonnay!

I mean I'm not the least bit fond of any religion, but a lot of Americans are into the prosperity gospel stuff that has little to do with the other Christian cults like Catholicism or Lutheranism.

The whole "God rewards good people with health and wealth" thing is an American concept, not a Christian concept.

Marco Rubio is such a pathetic man.

They didn't even say "organized religion". They said "all religion".

You can be religious without magical thinking.

To be fair, while the definition of religion is essentially a contested ongoing linguistics debate, it does not necessarily require magical thinking.

Take the Satanic Temple or Our Lady of Perpetual Exemption for example.

Though still, I agree with your point about magical thinking, and as it is so commonplace as to be functionally synonymous with religion... I guess the point is largely moot.

edit: oof, I seem to have forgotten that pedantry should only be used against religion, and never in its defense. I will be sure to hand in my Atheist membership card at the next meeting.

But Sikhs though. \s

The bible is an inconsistent mess that can "justify" whatever someone thinks god wants.

Christianity is a death cult. Baseless claims should not be accepted or tolerated, all life depends on the reality that defines us. Magical thinking is deadly. Humanity must mature or it will self-destruct.

In other words, please stop defending christianity at all. They'll kill you and tell everyone you deserved it. They'll go through the whole narcissist's prayer over your corpse: we didn't do it; if we did, it wasn't that bad; if it was, you brought it on yourself.

Take a stand for truth and life. Thank you.

What about Job, who was rewarded with 7 times what he lost because he trusted god? Including his children. The old ones were still dead, but he was blessed with new ones.

Christianity is rotten from beginning to end. It's significantly worse than most people seem to realize.

It's always just projecting with those types.

Literally could be said about Islam. But then leftists gonna freak out lol.

Fascists are more concerned with knowing all the lore and doing the cosplay correctly than understanding the context of the message or living the virtues as a modern person

It's weird how leftists are like "Hey, can you stop bombing LITERAL CHILDREN please?" and y'all somehow translate that into a rabid support for Islam when their religion has literally nothing to do with the request.

Yeah, the rest of Trump's crew are incompetent whack jobs that have no idea what they're saying or doing.

Rubio isn't stupid. He knows what he's doing is wrong.

As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly. ~Proverbs 26:11

Jesus died for marcos sins, so marco is clean now and will be proud o all he do now, and even go to heaven! /s

Those examples are protest movements using the trappings of religion to attack religion, not examples of sincere religious belief detached from spirituality.

Give an example.

Let's dispel with this fiction that Marco Rubio doesn't know what he's doing. He knows exactly what he's doing.

Yeah... that's what I said.

You're stupid

Don't breed

I made a catholic friend who had me convinced that maybe there was something to Christianity. It was an illusion, there is no God, and all religion does is convince you to hurt yourself and others under the delusion that an imaginary invisible man in the sky will make it up to you in the afterlife.

But the truth is there is no afterlife, neurology has completely debunked the idea of a soul.

Sucks, I really wish there was an afterlife, but this is all we get. All spirituality is, is longing for an afterlife where you get a spirit guide and super powers...... It's nonsense, you wait for it and you'll waste your only time with which you will ever get to exist.

We call Christianity "Worthy of Respect" and Transness "Delusion". Even though transpeople are real and God isn't.

No you can't, because all religion is is "Maybe God will reward me if I starve myself."
