      They do! But the Christian argument is that Satan tied them into his plot to trick people as well.

          I don’t know, i read the Bible. Those stories aren’t the flex god thinks they are.

          honestly when you read the bible god is pretty relatable, he’s kinda just proud of having literally created everything (including evil, isaiah 45:7) and wants to be worshipped for it, and gets angry when you don’t worship him for having literally created everything by himself.
          It all makes more sense when you drop the idea that god is arbitrarily perfect and good.

          I can’t say i’d do better with absolute power of creation and having to literally create the concept of existence on my own. If we’re created in the image of god then frankly it’s a wonder we’re as friendly as we are.

    “So what about the fossil record?”

    “Dude. God put fossils in the ground to test our faith.”

    “No. I think God put YOU here to test MY faith.”

    I mean, have you read the tenets of Satanism? Pretty darn convincing. Call me a devil’s advocate.

      I think you first need to pass the Satanic bar exam to call yourself a devil’s advocate

      The difference when a cult grounds on logic and reasoning instead of on an ancient high-fantasy-book which makes no sense from beginning to end. But was probably a cool read some centuries ago. Still, admittedly, the greatest way to control the sheeples and keep them in line.

      If I’d be forced at gunpoint to choose a religion, I’d pick them. Or buddhists.

          I know, i know. But of all the misogynistic, supressive silly retrograde murder-cults, those are the least misogynistic, supressive silly retrograde murder-cults. At least they have some actual wisdom to share, not stories about a whole incest-species with a base-gene-pool of an estimated two people of which one even was made out of the first one.

          Long story short: Yes. Fuck them too. Just a lil less.

    I might be missing something here but how do we know precisely what 4bil. years of random mutations looks like?
