Rejecting evidence is intellectual cowardice. can I have a verse in the Old Testament used to "control the poor"? All of it. Let's see: "Don't seek knowledge or you will be punished." "Be fruitful and multiply; kids are ammo in your quiver, not people." "In fact, it's fine to take slaves as long as the rules are followed." And it all hinges on: "Obey me or I'll make you suffer and it'll be all your fault."

If God was as "evil" as you portray him to be, why would he bear unbearable torture for our sake? You're mixing up two things here. Jesus was crucified. A real man was murdered. That was not god, god is not real. The god described by the bible is 100% evil. He had all the power, chose to make us suffer, guilts us for it, and calls that "love". The idea that god sent himself to die to solve problems of his own making is a later addition that makes him seem weak and stupid. Nothing is necessary to an all-powerful being. permalink fedilink source parent [–] FistingEnthusiast@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago Oh It's you How tiresome. permalink fedilink source parent
