How liberals read the Bible

Which one was you?

@ShitpostRock The Austrian part of Austria-Hungary was actually very stable, so much so that the Czechoslovak state, the new Austrian republic, and Yugoslavia had to rely heavily on propaganda to turn their citizens against the Habsburgs and the concept of a supranational state.

@burncorpos In der Grundschule hätte man dich vielleicht ernst genommen

hot take aber ich finde religion immer problematisch egal was, wer, wie es ausgelebt wird. ein solch realitätsfernes konstrukt sollte nicht existieren.

@vintagemapstore Anyone who believes this is real lacks basic historical knowledge.

"Europe's future map", German propaganda postcard, 1916

No-one will take seriously a weak and divided Europe: neither enemy nor ally. It is already clear now. We must finally believe in our own strength, we must continue to arm ourselves, we must stay united like never before. One for all, and all for one. Otherwise, we are finished.

@GatGans @gonefishin1948 @Qwarz_Atarz Proof?

@gonefishin1948 @Qwarz_Atarz And by the way… they’ve been proven correct.

transphobes are literally repeating the same talking points I used to hear from homophobes back in Russia

Christmas is about Christianity Nothing else

Atheism. x.com/rainmaker1973/…

@HajoRieks @GerdaRotkehl Du bist nicht der Hellste oder?

@GerdaRotkehl Bischof von Myra (heute Türkei): Er wurde um 300 n. Chr. in Patara geboren, wurde Priester und später Bischof von Myra.

Nikolaus war übrigens ein Türke. Josef, Maria und das Jesuskind waren Flüchtlinge. Und die heiligen 3 Könige waren Araber.

Atheism is the dumbest religion mankind ever invented.

@nyaraVT It’s not an identity, it’s a trend. And you are the recruiter."

@nyaraVT If you 'cannot turn a kid trans', explain the 4000% increase in teenage girls identifying as trans in the last decade. Did biology change? No. Social contagion did. Peer groups, TikTok, and activists like you ARE turning confused kids into lifelong medical patients.

You cannot turn a trans kid cìs. You cannot turn a cìs kid trans. A trans girl is a girl. A trans boy is a boy. Trans people deserve to live as their authentic selves and fit in with others of the same gender identity.

@_Ochiedike It's a prophecy written 1000 years earlier that predicts piercing hands and feet and gambling for clothes.He wasn't confused. He was declaring victory: 'I am the fulfillment of the prophecy.' Read the whole chapter before you laugh."

@_Ochiedike Tell me you don't know the Old Testament without telling me. ​Jesus is quoting the first line of Psalm 22. Every Jew in the audience knew the rest of the song by heart.

My favorite passage in the Bible is when Jesus cries out, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" as if he didn't know it was his Father's plan. 😂

@ArchTheAtheist That is 'Newsflash'. Apply your skepticism consistently, or admit it's just bias

@ArchTheAtheist By your logic, Alexander the Great never existed. His earliest biographies were written 400 years after his death. ​The Gospels were written 30-60 years later, while thousands of eyewitnesses were still alive to correct them. In ancient history, that is not a 'gap'.

THE GOSPELS AREN’T BELIEVABLE - Mark: c. 40 years after Jesus, Was later added to, Only ID’d as Mark in the 2nd century - Matthew: c. 50 AJ, highly doubtful to be written by Matthew - Luke: c. 40 years AJ, Luke never met Jesus - John: c. 50 years AJ, doubtfully written by John

@_Ochiedike Objective morality requires an anchor outside of humanity.

@_Ochiedike Without an objective standard (God), your 'morals' are just your personal feelings or the current fashion. If society changes its mind tomorrow and decides murder is okay, on what basis would you object? You couldn't. You'd just have a different opinion.

If you need religion to have morals, then you are evil.
