No, Jesus, like God himself, loves all his children. He shall not smite me, for I wish no doom upon my brethren. You, however, are full of hate and anger, wishing for others to be smitten. But I am sure Jesus will forgive even someone like you.

Nothing creates an atheist faster than reading the bible and understanding it.

[@fatkat311]

Holy shit that is the truth

[@HopefulPessimist]

The problem is: You keep using the word "understanding." I do not think it means, what you think it means. Most atheists not understand the Bible still think that it's all allegory and fantasy. sleiman looked at The Iliad and odyssey as if it was a history just romanticized and found Troy. Scientists did the same thing with the Bible and found Sodom and Gomorrah, they also found David and especially Goliath. Scientists that *UNDERSTAND* that the Bible is history, are finding the places mentioned in the Bible. And finding it is a historical account of real events. Most atheist still refuse to *UNDERSTAND* that the Bible is a historical account of real places and real events.

[@spork8655]

@@HopefulPessimistJust because Harry Potter was set in England and England exists, doesn't mean that Voldemort is real. And no, they didn't find Goliath. Fantasy is fine, but when you start trying to repeat it as fact, I start to have very little time for your silliness.

[@HopefulPessimist]

@@spork8655 and that's exactly what I mean. 2016, scientists found Sodom and Gomorrah, found it was destroyed by a meteor or comet. ATHEISTS still claim story is fantasy? Bible is a historical account. *WE* don't even have the technology to warn people to get out of an area, before a meteor or comet strikes, yet these people were warned ahead of time, that the cataclysmic event couldn't be stopped. Wake up and take I'll look around and smell the toast burning... Instead of trying to pretend it's coffee. Your atheist attempt at strawmanning the issue, doesn't help. But it's what you do. just like the flat-earthers I deal with every day that ignore reality and try to fantasize their way out of it and then call the globe... fantasy. You atheists and flat earthers have so much in common, it's absolutely ridiculous.

[@SkilesHasFun]

@David Eller Okay, I'll meet you in the middle there. Was the original, actual, physical collection of these manuscripts that may or may not have been bound together, a book? Technically, no. You're correct. That's just a bunch of paper. Or stones, or whatever they used. But the version that is in the library, in hotels, on shelves, in the homes of a billion people, IS unquestionably and unarguably a book. It's printed by book publishers. It has pages. You read the pages. You turn the pages. It's a book. I can't believe I'm explaining the concept of the book to someone.

[@alecLogan]

George Carlin was hilarious - no denying that! I watched him often recreationally.... Yet, he wasn’t without quotes that kind of made me cringe, personally... Although he lampoons the concept of ‘higher authority’ with this statement - lol - It can’t be said that he had absolutely pinned the complete character, nature and personal testament of God Himself. I’ve been to Southern California private [Christian] schools - I’ve dealt with politics, behavioral inconsistencies, and treatment - I’ve seen the things on part of other that should have turned me to agnosticism or atheism... Fortunately I did some Bible studying, and critical thinking on my own and committed myself to the “truth” - Jesus was not interested in “religion”, He was interested in ‘reestablishing relationship’ between God and His image bearers - namely every human being. I have a relationship, and discipleship that is based on love, not fear or condemnation - God Himself didn’t woo me with hell threats, He did so with grace. Two things I hope for this world: (1) That all people would live by the “Mark 12:30-31 Principle” [evil wouldn’t stand a chance]. (2) That people, specifically interested in accuracy, would always consider this saying : “the source material, is usually the best material”👍🏾 Love and peace everybody!

@@mikej8198 I'm forced to disagree. Religious beliefs might not be called 'insane', yet they still exhibit all the symptoms of insanity. Society has conditioned us to omit 'religion' from the broad definition of insanity. Why do we omit it? Because religion is useful to the political, economic, and social leaders of society. Religion is used to manipulate and exploit the masses - that's exactly why it was created in the first place. True, secular and religious views aren't necessarily in conflict, but watch the sparks fly if facts disagree with religious interpretation. Religion will insist THEIR interpretation override facts. For instance: Galileo discovered evidence that the earth was not the center of the universe. Religion forced him to renounce his discoveries and writings, and then imprisoned him for heresy. This, allegedly, a mercy in lieu of being put to death as many 'heretics' of that era were. And, like it or not, there are many fundamentalist religions who want to return to this sort of behavior, where THEIR INTERPRETATIONS are considered the last word on any matter, and in many cases, LAW. Witness the Islamic regimes for proof of that.

Necromancer? Those are the bad guys. Jesus wouldn't be a necromancer, he was resurrecting the dead, not raising them as undead. Leviticus 19:31 “Do not turn to mediums or necromancers; do not seek them out, and so make yourselves unclean by them: I am the Lord your God.” No, Jesus would be more like this: Jesus Christ, Priest 15/Risen Martyr 10 Race: Godling (Humanoid) with Half-Celestial template Base Class: Priest (Cleric variant) Prestige Class: Risen Martyr He's taken the following feats: Endure Torture Leadership Suffering Transmute Food

Imagine if we traveled two thousand years into the future and people were worshipping the Harry Potter books.

They debate the meanings of certain passages, look for evidence of which castle in England was the real Hogwarts castle and there are different sects who have different interpretations and they're all killing each other over their differing opinions. That's how crazy religion is! Both books have some pretty good morals and lessons in them too, but the fact that people try to debate whether they are REAL or not is kind of not the point.
