A Mississippi man accused of destroying a statue of a pagan idol at Iowa’s state Capitol is now being charged with a hate crime.

God damn, I wish I didn’t have morals and a conscience… With my knowledge of religion and the scriptures I could be making BANK milking the gullible.
This is my same struggle every day having been raised in a preacher’s home.
Reading the Bible is what turned me into an atheist
Loving the bible makes you christian.
reading the bible makes you athiest.
Same.
Psalms 137:9 is my favorite verse.
Hmm I looked it up and apparently one has to be careful with interpreting this. It’s not really about being happy to dash infants against rocks. It’s simply a call for the destruction of the entire nation of people. It’s really about justice! And that’s a good thing! /s
Those babies deserved it, and if they didn’t they’re going to heaven anyway, so really it’s a mercykill.
Anway, love thy neighbors!
FYI: Israelites are a branch of Canaanites, El is a Canaanitic god, and The Exodus lacks evidence from ever happening.
That was absolutely wild to learn as ex-Christian. Also, the social hole you fall into as you leave Christianity is pretty terrifying, but you’ll eventually learn to deal with it.
Same. And the ultimate irony is that the values I used to determine that the Bible is a fucked up book that I want nothing to do with, are the same values that my uber-Christian parents instilled in me, and then lost at some point along the way.
YOU MADE ME LIKE THIS
Yep. I have had these same thoughts. Start a business. Any business. Slap “Christian” in the name. Profit.
I really liked the one where somebody was prepared to buy people’s worldly goods and look after them in the event of the rapture.
It’s a great scam because it literally cannot go wrong. If it turns out they were right and the rapture happens you still don’t have to deal with all the junk and otherwise you can sell it back to them for a profit.
I like the after rapture pet insurance.
Pay me today, and I’ll totally feed your dog after you’ve ascended to heaven.
