I grew up forced to go to church and this is pretty literally a core point of the pastor’s sermon multiple times. He told a story about someone trapped on their roof during a hurricane and was offered rescue by three different means but refused each citing God. The story ended like the punchline here.
I don’t really have a point to this, but I wanted to share.
Yeah most memes from this community that I see in All aren’t atheist, they’re just not fundamentalist.
Because most of us wouldn’t have a problem with religion if it would just stay in it’s fucking lane.
I honestly think religion shouldn’t be allowed in public outside of designated areas. Keep your bullshit in your own home or in church. No one outside of those places gives a fuck
It’s like the dick comparsion:
Religion is like a penis. It’s fine to have one. It’s fine to be proud of it. But don’t whip it out in public and start waving it around. And DO NOT try to shove it down my or my children’s thoats.
Lmao, guess that wasn’t just a metaphor
I also saw a version of that tale wherein it’s instead him and his boat sinking in the middle of an ocean sometime ago.
Though, it ended with God chastising, “…what do you want, the fucking Pope?”
They’ll happily believe their God orcastrated the birth, entire life, and eventual sacrifice of Jesus to make up for the sin of Adam and Eve, yet they refuse to believe their God could’ve possibly acted to aid them by orcastrating the lives of several smart individuals for the sake of humanity?
Their God is literally meant to be omnipotent and omniscient, there is no number of pawns too great for God to move to help their creations, but they still can’t convince their creations to not wait on some stupid super-healing light ray from the heavens instead of taking what’s in front of them.
Omniscient, Omnipresent, Omnipotent, and Omnibenevolent. This is what Christians believe their god to be. There’s only one problem. They are irreconcilable with the sheer amount of human suffering in the world when one takes into account the existence of “miracles”.
Miracles means their god picks and chooses. Picking and choosing is antithetical to Omnibenevolence. This is one of the big reasons I’m pagan now. No “Omni-” stuff to reconcile lol.
Their god is based on a war god. It was never omnibenevolence. Jesus’ teachings tried to retcon and change the image of the vengeful war god. That’s why his teachings was seen as blasphemous. But it doesn’t matter what Jesus said. Christians still believe it’s the same god that made first contact with Abraham. So it is still the war god.
I thought he was a fusion of 2 different Canaanite gods. El and YHWH? Maybe I’m confused. But If memory serves, a rain and a war god. Could be wrong tho.
I misread as Canadian gods so I got REALLY confused
That sounds super interesting, I never learned about that in school.
A very fair historical assessment. I only meant modern teachings and was basing it off my theology classes in high school and college. The Catholics are very fond of their absolutism lol. They’ll put Omni in front of anything.
This was argued before Christ:
Epicurus’s old questions are yet unanswered. Is he willing to prevent evil, but not able? then is he impotent. Is he able, but not willing? then is he malevolent. Is he both able and willing? whence then is evil?
God is an orca?
Yeah. I feel like this meme puts more into religion than the usual “if god is real, why he can’t dm me?” sort of thing. Yeah, if you speak to more educated religious person, they will say that God manifest itself in every action and object that there is to exist, he doesn’t need to appear as he is, he appears as his creations, and it is everything that there is around. But there’s is something really messed up with religion and that is evil. Your average Joe religious person will be dotrinated by an priest that X thing is evil because God said so. He is just stupid, and not his religion or needing to believe in a bigger and greater being out there. Someone just took advantage of his spiritual side and can control him.
If Christian God exists and is as commonly accepted (i.e. onmi-everything), even if you believe that God does not need to show up and say hello, I still think that this meme has a point. One cannot be, by the meaning of our language, all powerful and super nice while not making the world a utopia. If life is a test and God can see the future, why have the test at all?
I don’t want to question anyone’s beliefs, I’m just not able to comprehend the mindset because religion has never been part of my life.
A helicopter.
They expect Jesus to come down from on high and perform a special little miracle just for them. They are special little snowflakes, after all.
It is pretty dumb that in a religion built around faith, you have people who can’t have faith that their unfathomable force tried to save them through fathomable things.
As a spiritual person, I approve this message.
Why God send the virus?
It was a test.
Answer to any follow up questions you may have: it was a test
Or: God works in mysterius ways.
Me in court after I committed a heinous crime
Didn’t send it per-se, just got tired with humanity and took a break.
They expect to be invulnerable, as if they are Gods.
Jesus’s left arm is twice as long as his right in that image and it’s impossible to unsee
Magical healing from a sky-wizard that he read about in a story book, duh?

Lot of faith in pharmaceutical criminals or lot of faith in god, I didn’t do either.
Yes you are very smart. Your other smart freinds will pat you on the back as the vaccinated start falling all around you soon enough. Soon… enough…
People submitting so quickly is the scary part. I know they will lick boots in mass hysteria so it’s whatever. Same thing the nazis did.
Yes. Same thing. Again. You are very smart.

Man you’re gonna double down on being a horrible person by making sure we know you’re homophobic too? Such a shining beacon for humanity to aspire to.
