[21] “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. [22] On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ [23] And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’
But we do on rational charitability. You know what’s right and what’s wrong. You can believe in good and evil without believing in the same God who put it there. Just how someone can also believe the summer is especially warm without believing in man-made climate change.
No, because you’re a sanctimonious asshole who thinks they’re automatically better than other people because of a belief that you have. A belief, I should add, that would be wildly different had you been born in, say, Cairo of Hangzhou or Bangkok, or any number of other cities with religious traditions outside of Christianity.
If your definition of truth includes religious texts in any capacity other than, perhaps, a very dated take on philosophy, then that’s a point we are simply not going to agree on.
And yet they will continue to do so
God will judge them
Matthew 7:21-23
Yahweh is a sadist. Of the possible deities to worship Jeebus’ dad is the worst.
Jesus is Yahweh, and punishing sin isn’t sadism.
God does not exist, and will not be judging anyone

Fuck you and fuck this take. Theists don’t have a monopoly on the capacity to be charitable and a positive influence.

troll.
If there was a just god, it would hate people like you, that’s for sure.
And why’s that? Because you hate me and you are always right?
If there was a god who was perfectly just and nothing else, wouldn’t he hate all of us?

I’m not a big fan of your book about imaginary friends that tell you what to do
If only truth was so easy to dismiss so we can follow our own selfish desires…

What do you mean by “dated take” - does right or wrong change with time?
The morals of the Abrahamic Religions are the morals of blood-thirsty totalitarian pedophiles.
What would you say: is buying slaves from the nations that surround me still right, did god instruct people to do wrong or did right and wrong change?
Yes. Yes it does. The bounds of what society considers acceptable or reprehensible changes with time, location, and culture.
