    On the religion side the last picture should be the same as the first.

      That was the original. Evolution of the meme:

      In retrospect I should’ve posted the second image, seems funnier.

            Never mind the biblical bit where god says he creates evil, you’ll never convince the religious with facts and logic. They’ve got to feel it or realize it themselves.

              The ancients had more sense: at least a capricious, emotional God similar to humans (like the ancient Greek gods) that does everything including create evil and allows the torturing of people on a bet at the high council reconciles better with nature.

                Ouch. Job was a trip and a half.

                My, what a benevolent god is god to bet with the life of his most loyal worshiper. A bet he looses… against Satan? And then god goes down and brags about his achievements to cow his tortured worshiper?

                That actually fits with the days of Olympus quite well actually.

                  Also everything he lost is treated indistinguishably from property - e.g. he dismissss his wife to sleep with other men, he’s made whole by being given more children (probably with some other woman/en), as if having more children would replace the children you lost - it’s an insane piece of text.

            True, but every medical achievement is heralded as god’s divine will. “Thank god for sending the doctor.” I’d rather just thank the doctor, really.

              Thank the…other docs who don’t push horse pills I guess? The propaganda is real

              Should this not raise red flags? Why is your church pro-vaccine and others anti-vaccine?

              Who’s right and who’s wrong? But then again Im an atheist who questioned god long before Santa Claus, because atleast the jolly old fuck did something for me.

        I’ve been praying Jesus would just fuck Satan and get it over with. The sexual tension is way too high.

          now that u mention it i can’t think of a single other prayer i ever made getting answered so you might be right

          maybe god is just sponsored by microsoft (this existence brought to you by: Xbox Game Pass)

      That isn’t how religion works though.

      You just got to steal the xbox, then pray for forgiveness.

          You could just convince the pope to call for a holy war, that way you don’t even have to ask for forgiveness when you take a nonbeliever’s steam desk.

        lol i honestly never thought about that

        we went to a really small school (when i was in middle school there were like 15 students in the middle school and high school grades all combined, by the time i was in 12th there were 4 high school students all in different grades) so if i had to guess and give him the benefit of the doubt i’d guess that because we lived in such a small community and probably had a lot of mutual friends and connections, he probably just knew enough about me to know that i was into video games and my family was too poor to buy consoles/computers so i was still playing on a PS1 that my older siblings got for Christmas once while everyone else my age were on or moving to PS4 and (i think) Xbox One

      You deserve a good spanking for using “DmC” instead of “DMC”. We do not talk about the abomination that is “DmC”.
