@glowybandit @darwintojesus Will you practice what Jesus said in Matthew 5:19 and have society force you to spend the rest of your life in prison?

@abc098788 @darwintojesus It’s giving fatass cringe Reddit mod

Probably the biggest self own I’ve seen this year.

@GrammarJedi01 @darwintojesus @GrammarJedi01 I have valid facts. You don't want to talk about them because you are brainwashed

What I actually think is that any worldview which is completely dependent on deflection, leading questions, and imposing its chosen parameters without question is automatically suspect. If you had valid facts, it wouldn't have required multiple posts just to get you to state your motivation.

Evidence for God is fiercely debated because it’s easier to pretend there’s no evidence than to argue you have good reason for your rebellion.

@JetDr3 @darwintojesus After watching the 2 minute video below, I'm unable to think that N.T. Wright is mentally well youtu.be/RV_aa-926TA?is…

I agree with humanity first on this. This brand of unhinged charismatic “Christian” worship has more in common with Hindu kundalini than Christianity. Soooo…yeah please classify that as a mental disorder, and make sure you count those that practice Hindu kundalini in with the mentally ill.

What on earth is a “mental disorder” on atheism? Are minds supposed to be ordered? Are they supposed to be one way, and not another? I thought everyone just arbitrarily evolved to be the way they are, and for all you know this might even be an incredible survival strategy.

@darwintojesus Christ is king over all people

@aquavitae96 @JMill6919 @darwintojesus The Hebrew analysis below is critical to understanding the translation of love thy neighbor. And Christianity recycled love your enemy, forgive others, and good samaritan parable from prior Greco-Roman texts bibleinterp.arizona.edu/sites/bibleint…

@JMill6919 @darwintojesus The propaganda is all on the atheist side: academia, Hollywood, media. And it doesn't work. Reality is against atheism. In fact, even atheists cannot stand atheism and steal from Christianity.

@JMill6919 @aquavitae96 @darwintojesus Per capita is indeed different 👍 It's silly to bring up abortion in a sacrifice context as if going to an abortion clinic is akin to going to a sacrifice temple

@abc098788 @aquavitae96 @darwintojesus It's only true because the majority of people in America are christian. About 62% Show your per capita numbers.

Why do you think atheists love defending witches so much?

@JMill6919 @darwintojesus Human sacrifice?

@abc098788 @darwintojesus False. There are still dozens of religions on earth that currently practice blood sacrifice.

@SpeckMartyn @darwintojesus Pilate was fired for being brutal. Does that sound like he would let a Roman soldier killer walk free? Barabbas means the son of the father and is even called Jesus Barabbas. So we have 2 sons of the father. One is released, and the other is sacrificed. It's Yom Kippur allegory

@darwintojesus Someone didn't read it: Luke 23:4 Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, “I find no guilt in this man.”

@abc098788 @darwintojesus The last?

@GrammarJedi01 @darwintojesus Due to my humanist worldview, I think denying facts and being fooled is bad. Do you think denying facts and being fooled is good?

I'm going to keep asking, because you're apparently going to keep trying to brush it off: What's it to you what I believe? Why are you invested in this? At no point in time are we going to jump straight to "Defend and justify your religious beliefs to me" past the question of "Who are you that I have to justify anything?"

@BladeOfSpirit @darwintojesus The nonexistent fictional man made deities of the region commanded daily food and child sacrifice. Yahweh commanded child sacrifice and that his food be served on time. The creator of the universe behaves just like the other fictional deities of the region

@darwintojesus Literally. The more we discover the more unlikely it is that all of this happened 'naturally'.

The greatest miracle of science isn’t what it discovers… it’s that discovery is possible in the first place.

@GrammarJedi01 @darwintojesus @GrammarJedi01

@abc098788 @darwintojesus It's for me to decide what's bad and a scam for my life, not you. The question remains, and will not be rushed past or deflected: what is your investment in evangelizing your worldview?

@CriticalDragon1 @SolanumComa @hookskat @Truth_matters20 👍 The following is the best take down I've seen of Bart's book. It's a long take down, and the conclusion is so thorough that you can just read the conclusion thesaviorcomplex.substack.com/p/the-jesus-ap…

@abc098788 @SolanumComa @hookskat @Truth_matters20 However, his positive teachings, even if one is able show how some of them may have been enlightened for their time, still does not erase the horrible things he said, assuming he actually said them. The Bible is not a reliable source of history after all 2/2

🎯

@CriticalDragon1 @SolanumComa @hookskat @Truth_matters20 A critical point that Bart misses is the following Hebrew analysis bibleinterp.arizona.edu/sites/bibleint…

@abc098788 @SolanumComa @hookskat @Truth_matters20 Well perhaps not everything he believed was morally abhorrent, and I think that's obvious. 1/2

@CriticalDragon1 @SolanumComa @hookskat @Truth_matters20 👍 Even highly educated people get wrong what Jesus says. Bart Ehrman's latest book is a good example. Jesus said some terribly immoral things, and Bart skips over them

@abc098788 @SolanumComa @hookskat @Truth_matters20 The Bible is not a good source of morality and the people, including Christians who opposed both slavery and child abuse, may have been good people, but they were good people in spite of the Bible, not because of it

@CriticalDragon1 @SolanumComa @hookskat @Truth_matters20 On your point regarding the stoning of children who verbally insult or curse their parents, look at what Jesus says to the Pharisees: he calls them hypocrites for not stoning said children

@abc098788 @SolanumComa @hookskat @Truth_matters20 He's also still denying the fact that the Bible endorses stoning children and slavery, in spite of what it actually says biblegateway.com/passage/?searc… and biblegateway.com/passage/?searc…

@SolanumComa @CriticalDragon1 @hookskat @Truth_matters20 When Jesus said to follow every Torah law until heaven and earth pass away, what did he mean?

@CriticalDragon1 @abc098788 @hookskat @Truth_matters20 Again. Your assertion on the Bible being “pro slavery, pro stoning, pro genocide” is absurd. If you believe the message of Christ is summarized in any of those, you’ve lost sight of the North Star.

@SolanumComa @CriticalDragon1 @hookskat @Truth_matters20 When did heaven and earth pass away?

@CriticalDragon1 @abc098788 @hookskat @Truth_matters20 That’s simply an appeal to personal incredulity on your part. And for the fourth time now. Please answer my question.

@cryptic_nc @DNLSHLR @darwintojesus Do you have a citation in mind?

@abc098788 @DNLSHLR @darwintojesus It is actually amazing when you learn historically how the idea of witches came to be.
