Post by imshotta So God impregnated a teenage girl so she could give birth to his son... who was also himself... so he could sacrifice himself... to himself... to convince himself to forgive humanity... for breaking rules he created.

Only in some sects. Some actually believe they're separate entities, some believe in only God and Jesus, some think they're the exact same being.

If we're counting sects that Christians have killed off (literally, by murder), there is a huge slew of entities discussed, and in quite a number, God the creator is the bad guy using the physical realm to torture souls.

Basically... Abrahamic religions are just as diverse as old mythologies, as much as modern Christians hate that fact.

    That's true but those groups are super rare offshoots. LDS is the only one I can think of. And IIRC it was pretty fringe early on

    I mean, I cited three different sorts of a very narrow set of beliefs, and also mentioned that Christianity has a lot of lesser (or greater) deities.

    The main point of my post is that LDS beliefs are still in the mainstream while christians still literally murdered a huge number of other established sects. Some that were older than the Mormon church is today.

    The main point is it's all fucking fairytales, and any inkling of hegemony is only because of a massive history of murder.
