    The lone unitalicized initial letter in the name bugs me inordinately

    If you believe in The Bible (I don’t), it was God (who is also identified as Jesus (the word)) who killed him and no one else. It was basically a suicide.

    24 Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 25 For whoever would save his life[a] will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. 26 For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul?"

    “If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even their own life—such a person cannot be my disciple."

    -Basically a death cult that poised itself to be a suicide cult.

      You forgot the cannibalism and zombification parts.

        The “no true Scotsman” fallacy is strong with that meme.

          It just notes that there are a plurality of interpretation of the Bible, and that edgy atheists and evangelicals generally have the same, but the firsts reject Christianity because of this interpretation while evangelicals embrace this interpretation.

        Anyone who argues ‘context’ should provide correction with context.

          I’ve wasted enough time arguing with edgy atheists and fundamentalists on the internet… I’m limiting myself to real people and memes these days.
