There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses.

Ezekial 23:20

(side note, while looking up this verse it brought me to biblegateway.com where it shows dozens of translations basically in a list, and here is what the MSG (The Message) version translated that one single sentence into:

“Her sister Oholibah saw all this, but she became even worse than her sister in lust and whoring, if you can believe it. She also went crazy with lust for Assyrians: ambassadors and governors, military men smartly dressed and mounted on fine horses—the Assyrian elite. And I saw that she also had become incredibly filthy. Both women followed the same path. But Oholibah surpassed her sister. When she saw figures of Babylonians carved in relief on the walls and painted red, fancy belts around their waists, elaborate turbans on their heads, all of them looking important—famous Babylonians!—she went wild with lust and sent invitations to them in Babylon. The Babylonians came on the run, fornicated with her, made her dirty inside and out. When they had thoroughly debased her, she lost interest in them. Then she went public with her fornication. She exhibited her sex to the world. “I turned my back on her just as I had on her sister. But that didn’t slow her down. She went at her whoring harder than ever. She remembered when she was young, just starting out as a whore in Egypt. That whetted her appetite for more virile, vulgar, and violent lovers—stallions obsessive in their lust. She longed for the sexual prowess of her youth back in Egypt, where her firm young breasts were caressed and fondled.

How fucking creepy is that? First of all, the entire concept of this "translation" just seems like outright heresy, but what the fuck even is this?? Did the dude just read about massive dongs and it got him all horny so he wrote some Bible fanfiction in the middle of his "translation"?

Absolutely wild.

Edit: For people who don't click the link: This is one single verse according to Bible Gateway. This is not an entire section, this is the verse I quoted above as translated by the dude who makes this "translation." Or maybe Bible Gateway is wrong I dunno. Almost like having 3000 translations of your holy book dilutes it.

Edit: Because apparently people think I'd lie about something like this...

If you googled a single verse (this verse), and you saw this come up, how would you have reacted?

Metal as fuck

I hate, I despise your feasts, and I can't stand your solemn assemblies. Take away from me the noise of your songs! I will not listen to the music of your harps. But let justice roll on like rivers, and righteousness like a mighty stream.

Amos 5:21;23-24

or any bit. pretty sure a bunch of them cannot read at all.

The bible also says to take care of the poor and a bunch of other stuff they actively work against.

Exactly. But performative acts like this play to their base. And their base is almost exclusively people who haven't read the very book they profess to follow.

Most athielsts (myself included) have read more of the bible than any of these people ever have.

So Moses went back to the Lord and said, “Oh, what a great sin these people have committed! They have made themselves gods of gold. But now, please forgive their sin—but if not, then blot me out of the book you have written.”

The Lord replied to Moses, “Whoever has sinned against me I will blot out of my book. Now go, lead the people to the place I spoke of, and my angel will go before you. However, when the time comes for me to punish, I will punish them for their sin.”

And the Lord struck the people with a plague because of what they did with the calf Aaron had made.

They absolutely do believe in this shit. They're a bunch of evil idiots.

Generally with humans, I assume about 99% act in good faith, regardless of what they are arguing for. Someone could argue for genocide in good faith, for example. The last 1% are sociopaths who have some intense issue with emotions or socializing, and do awful things on purpose.

I think most of the republicans are good faith, they just have shitty ideology and problem solving skills, and dont do enough to counter their own biases.

Their god is a vindictive evil fucker. A god of hate, and they mirror themselves in his image.

The observation from the words that I would now insist upon is this. -- "There is nothing that keeps wicked men at any one moment out of hell, but the mere pleasure of God." -- By the mere pleasure of God, I mean his sovereign pleasure, his arbitrary will, restrained by no obligation, hindered by no manner of difficulty, any more than if nothing else but God's mere will had in the least degree, or in any respect whatsoever, any hand in the preservation of wicked men one moment.

That must have been some special magic booze to get the old man so drunk he couldn't recognize that he was fucking his own daughters, yet leave him capable of getting it up to do the deed...

Well they got em. The Lord truly does provide 🙌🥴

It's funny how fast Murica has fallen into authoritarianism, I'm genuinely having a hard time believing that such a large portion of the population can be so stupid.

The concept of God was invented by men like these to enable exactly what they're doing :)

It's the ultimate authoritarian power fantasy, and the human mouthpieces for that ultimate authority tend to be very well taken care of.

Oh they may call themselves Christians, but none of them uphold the ideals or beliefs of Christians. They are hypocrites. The same day they do this they take away healthcare from millions, take food out of children's hands, and ramp up more violence to those already hurting.

I don't care what their label is they put on the outside, none of these are Christian. They openly spit on the morals that Jesus laid down.

The bible begs to differ. I'm sure your source is better though on what makes a Christian.
