Just because it says so does not mean you have to believe it.

Sorry for repeating myself but taking a christian text literally is still very much a Protestant cult thing.

The people who told you its supposed to be literal are lying or mentally living in the dark ages.

    They got that idea from the bible itself.

    In my case, it was evangelicals. But the fact remains that every abrahamic faith is a death cult, including christianity.

    I already told you i am no fan of protestants, i am not defending them.

    Pressuring your believes onto others and getting angry when they don’t is pretty bad. No matter what the believes entail.

    Teach people to think critically and let them form opinions of their own.

    I have referenced the following a coulle of time, i still believe that on principle you approve of it. But that the terminology keeps blinding you.

    Post-theism is the belief that religions related to, or focus on the worship of a God or deitiesbelongs to a previous stage of human development and, thus, a division of theism vs. atheism is obsolete. It is a variant of nontheism. The term appears in liberal Christianity and post-Christianity.

    Surely you don't believe that.

    Example: you see a grown adult taking advantage of a young person in a heinous manner.

    That should make you angry enough to intervene.

    Now bring it to the conversational level. You chat with someone who reveals they love taking advantage of young people. Do you try to change their minds? Do you get angry when they deny or dismiss the harm they are doing? I do, because I am a human being with empathy.

    Teach people to think critically and let them form opinions of their own.

    That's what I'm trying to do, but you're still denying that christianity is a death cult.

    But we still have more traditional christians, most of whom believe in god. We still have theists. We still have the concept of "god", ill-defined as it is, necessitating "atheism" as the position of one who does not believe in any god.

    a division of theism vs. atheism is obsolete

    I wish. Many theists won't shut up about their imaginary friend, and they pretend I'm wrong and deserving of punishment for not accepting their baseless claims.
