        Honestly the r/atheism type angry mocking atheists sure seem to have an axe to grind with someone they say doesn’t exist.

        Like, most people aren’t going into religion with ill intentions, and god doesn’t exist, who you mad at bro?

      The book is a bunch of non-sensical, contradictory fairy tales written and rewritten by a million dudes, a thousand times over, to manipulate others.

      True, but one of the few things it isn’t unclear or downright self-contradictory about is that the main dude said to help the poor and otherwise marginalised people.

      I love it when people pretend to know what “the book” says better than Christians

      As an atheist who’s actually read the damn thing rather than just gotten the perspectives of conservative preachers and politicians, I’m not pretending. I do in fact know better than some so-called Christians what their stupid book says.

      I also follow the more empathetic parts of it better than anyone on the “Christian Right”

      I love it when people pretend to know what “the book” says better than Christians (or anyone else for that matter).

      There’s no pretending. Most christians have never actually read it, and a lot of atheists are atheists exactly because they have.

          even if you just take the overarching themes of it without looking too much into detail about it, you have one deity saying to commit genocide, then later on the same deity (purportedly) says to not be violent, turn the other cheek, yadda yadda. then a few pages later you get some rando coming in and writing fanfic about the deity’s son that he never met and somehow changes most of the fledgling religion.
