    Why not kick him for making you?

      I know we haven’t been formerly introduced but user TimDave seems like a much cooler, and real, person compared to your Jesus myth. As far as I know TimDave has never ordered that his enemies be murdered and cast at his feet.

      So why would he be upset about existing?

        When did Jesus order that his enemies be murdered and cast at his feet?

          Luke 19:27

          But those enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them—bring them here and kill them in front of me.’”

          Luke 19:27

          He sets up an analogy of himself as king and then has the king say that. It’s a weasel way of saying stuff. On the level of me taking a hand puppet out and making it say mean things. “Don’t get upset it was Mr. Scruffy that said it not me”.

            I love how you were like “look! I’m not taking it out of context!” And proceed to take it out of context. You may have supposedly placed the characters, but you haven’t placed the timing. It’s clearly referring to the future events (the final judgement) when Christ’s enemies will be thrown to the place prepared for Satan and his angels. The story is about future events. No matter how you want to frame it, there is no way that’s a command to kill people in the present. Even a plain reading shows you this.

            Luke 19:11 even shows that it is referring to the Kingdom of God, something which hasn’t come yet.

      Bud, you’re not doing any good here. Your approach assumes the other person believes that Jesus is real. That’s like arguing for human rights with a Republican – it’s fundamentally against their ideals.

        At least they’d never be able to say that they weren’t told about this.

            We aren’t the ones who condemn you to hell. You condemn yourself.

          Do you really think you’re the first Christian who’s told them this? Did they just emerge from the cave they’ve spent their entire life in just to post on Lemmy?

      God fucked TimDave’s mother?

      Does that mean TimDave is Jesus’ half-brother?
