Republican Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, in his first remarks after being elected Wednesday afternoon, told Members of Congress that “Scripture” and “the Bible” are clear that they have been “ordained” by God.

            Nah, just the Abrahmic god that decided to flood the world and kill nearly everyone on it innocent or not.

              “Kill your son.”

              “What…?”

              “Do it, prove to me that you care more about doing what I say than you do about your own son.”

              “Are you serious? That’s horrible.”

              “Fucking do it. You want to spend infinite lifetimes in permanent anguish? Kill him. Now. Cut him open on that big flat rock over there. Gut him with a big fuck off knife, like a sword or something. Slice him up.”

              “But he’s my son, I live him.”

              “Sharpen the knife first then. Kill him, or I kill you, and him, and the rest of your family.”

              “Ok, but, ffs, this is insane…”

              “Haha I was just foolin, you don’t have to. I was just joshin. Just joshin with ya.”

              “Should I… Do you want me to kill my son or…”

              “WTF no! I was just messing around. But seriously don’t ever disobey me or you’re fucking done.”

                Noah warned some people, what about the rest of the planet? I’m sure native Americans enjoyed suddenly being drowned with no warning.

                    Ah yes, because the story clearly talks about Noah easily finding land again because only a small part of the world was flooded.

            Nope, talking about the one who told his followers to rip fetuses out of the bellies of pregnant women and smash them against the rocks, and to take any virgin girl children they find as sex slaves

            yahweh’s murder count is well over 2 million. he’s pretty much the god of murder.

            To be clear there is no god. Also to be clear the stories you have about your god describe a poorly written villain who even if it were real, again it isn’t, deserves nothing from humanity except contempt.

                    No fact. It is factual that your skydaddy doesn’t exist. That being is logically impossible, physically impossible, and we have mountains of evidence against it.

                    Face the universe, accept your mortality, time to grow up.

                    I’m still waiting for the day one of you proves us all wrong and gets a hold of God, maybe gets him on Hannity
