And is also omnipotent and allknowing.

The explanation I’ve been given is actually kinda cool in a, like, fantasy worldbuilding sort of way. By nature God is perfection, and since Adam and Eve fell short of perfection, mankind is tainted by imperfection. That falling short is sin. (There is some debate about whether God “decides” what is sin, or whether it is some sort of objective nature of God, which I also think is sort of fascinating.) Man needed ways to be absolved from sin to be in communion with God. This largely involved sacrificing animals to cover over sin with blood, and this symbolism is all over the old testament.

Christianity posits that Jesus was both God and Man, combining the two natures. He lived a sinless life, but still faced death (which shouldn’t happen to someone without sin). This causes a sort of divide-by-zero error that cancels out the sin of all who are linked to Jesus through the sacraments (especially baptism and communion). This allows humans to be “in communion with God” without continued animal sacrifice. And now that living a perfect life, which is impossible, is not necessary, Christians should do good things in the world to reflect the grace they’ve been given.

Unfortunately, most Christians know fuck all about their own religion and don’t understand it at a fundamental level, and think it’s their job to go around judging people and telling them to repent.

According to Catholics, yes.

Because the bible is not the word of "god" its just the word os Kings and Popes, very real and not divine men

Yeah, there isn't much originality in Christianity. Besides the point, really.

How many billions of people in 2026 are Hellenistic? Like actually, earnestly, believe in Greek mythology?

What percent of politicians in the US worship Greek gods and use their teachings to inform policy?

The word isn't jealous though it is qana' (קנא) which is more recently translated as "impassioned" and "zealous"

IDK probably. The show was likely too woke for him.

Baby I think we got ourselves a business model! Take that, creator of the universe!

any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them.

So making fish statues are ok, but don't worship a fish statue as an idol. I don't see an issue with making a likeness to something as long as you're not worshipping it

‘The world was created in 7 days.’

‘The world is 6,000 years old. Any evidence to the contrary is manufactured by Satan to lead us astray.’

‘All of humanity was started from two people.’

I could go on but those three are fun to start with.

Oftentimes religious beliefs can change someone's worldviews, including but not limited to, environmental awareness. And I bring my own anecdotal example: since I became a syncretic Luciferian then a sudden Lilithian, I became quite eco-centric, as I got to understand Homo sapiens as just one among countless species instead of some "god's exclusive toy" on this Pale Blue Dot. I also started to personally understand LGBTQIA+ values because, thanks to Lilith, I began discovering a part of me I wasn't aware of, my queer me I've since became quite fond of (e.g. polishing my nails and letting them grow as a cisman-presenting person). Those things would be unlikely to happen if I stayed on christianity (yes, I was christian in the far past and I deeply hate having been one) due to christian brainwashing that makes christians to "fear disobeying god" (now I want "god" to go pound sand). There are religions and religions, faiths and faiths. You won't get a coven of Wiccans knocking at your door at Monday (Moon day) 3AM "do you have 5 minutes to hear about our Mother Hekate?", you won't hear Luciferians screaming "Agios Lucifer, He's coming back to reign" inside a bus/subway while you're commuting, you won't see a Thelemite lawmaker trying to shove Liber AL Vel Legis inside kindergarten and schools, you won't see Goetians bringing a Solomon's Magick Circle inside a hospital room to call upon Stolas to cure the patients with his herbal knowledge... Yet atheists tend to put all religious beliefs into the same box as abrahamic religions which have persecuted both you atheists and us pagans, instead of trying to make some rational distinction between different faiths...!memes@lemmy.world

So, what about personal philosophy? Do you count "Humanism", or "Earthseed" from Parable of the Sower as religions? No magical thinking, but heavily based in ideas of morality which have no objective truth. There is no definition of "Good" that can ever be objective. You need a philosophical basis, like utilitarianism, for example, to work off of.

There are plenty of people (including many adherents, I think) who'd identify those as religions, but I struggle to comprehend how your claim would apply to them.

And that's how the Church of Infinite Greed keeps winning no matter how rational you are. Their irrationality knows no counter.
