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.

                The whole story was bullshit, however floods throughout history are extremely common. Just look at the Libya flood.

                Old tales from the bible were loosely based off of real life, but embellished heavily.

      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

      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.

                  So most people don’t believe in the leading scientific theory? Despite it being extensively tested and supported by numerous studies? If you’re open to learning more, I recommend exploring the following resources:

                  https://www.livescience.com/474-controversy-evolution-works.html

                  https://bio.libretexts.org/Courses/Lumen_Learning/Biology_for_Non-Majors_I_(Lumen)/12%3A_Theory_of_Evolution/12.03%3A_Evidence_for_Evolution

                  On the other hand, there’s an entirely different perspective regarding the existence of God. You can delve into this topic by visiting Britannica - Existence of God. When you examine these sources, you’ll find that the evidence supporting evolution is rooted in reproducible scientific studies, while arguments for the existence of God often rely on philosophical reasoning, such as the ontological argument. While I can’t disprove this argument, it ultimately hinges on faith rather than concrete empirical evidence.

                  https://www.britannica.com/topic/existence-of-God

                  Anyway, I don’t expect to convince you or anyone else, just wanted to waste some time and further my own understanding of the subject, ignore this if you want.

                    I meant must, not most, sorry, also, I can see you are not a nut job like many other users here, just a bit bored lol Evolution is a legit theory and possibility, I am unable to deny that obviously, but it’s more of a “It can technically happen, but will it happen?” thing for me, appreciate the effort you put on your comment tho
