What the even fuck is this

[-] Tiral@lemmy.zip 11 points 8 hours ago

Why would I be shooting a baby with a shot gun?

I'm an evil atheist, but Christians want to shoot babies with shot guns. Seems legit.

[-] Glytch@lemmy.world 9 points 8 hours ago

I'd probably start believing in magic necklaces. Then I'd start down a dangerous path of experimentation to test the limits of the necklace's invulnerability enchantment.

[-] BioDriver@lemmy.world 8 points 8 hours ago

I will absolutely not imagine trying to shoot a baby you sick fuck

[-] sirico@feddit.uk 8 points 9 hours ago

Old testament god seemed to be pretty good and offing kids so this tracks

[-] IAMgROOT@lemmy.wtf 1 points 8 hours ago
[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 5 points 8 hours ago

I’d dislike a god even more choosing to allow such a test to proceed. It’s a variant on the “Trolley Problem”.

What kind of god would sacrifice an infant to prove belief instead of just popping in with a booming voice and saying “Yes, I’m real you morons!” to prove it?

[-] Iusedtobeanalien@lemmy.world 6 points 9 hours ago

I'd turn the gun round

If I was sick enough to try to x the baby and actually did it would be time to stage left

[-] nightlily@leminal.space 3 points 9 hours ago

What does x mean here? What exactly are you trying to do to this hypothetical baby?

[-] Leviathan@lemmy.world 31 points 14 hours ago

What do Christians think atheists spend their time doing?

[-] multifariace@lemmy.world 11 points 10 hours ago

Asking questions. The most vile of sins.

[-] lonesomeCat@lemmy.ml 8 points 12 hours ago

Shooting babies?

[-] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 8 points 13 hours ago

Satanic orgies, drugs, dancing and other fun stuff.

[-] chippydingo@lemmy.world 8 points 14 hours ago

Plotting to murder babies obviously. Post-birth abortions are a thing according to Fox News...no /s

[-] Cellari@lemmy.world 19 points 14 hours ago

I mean... Why did the God not protect the baby anymore? Is the crucifix a required magic catalyst or something to get Gods protection? Do we have any known cases where the catalyst was not needed?

I think I'm closer to solving the riddle of Gods power...

[-] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 3 points 9 hours ago

Yeah and how do you know it's not "the devil's" necklace or some demon or god isn't real and it's all demons. With religious logic you have nothing real to stand on to test reality.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 8 points 12 hours ago

Lack of object permanence. The baby stopped being a Christian when the crucifix was gone

[-] bstix@feddit.dk 3 points 10 hours ago

Why did the God not protect the baby anymore

The entire bible is about a Father who says "Look at what you made me do!"

On the other hand, the devil never really did anything bad.

[-] MBech@feddit.dk 3 points 10 hours ago

What do you mean he didn't do anything bad?!?!? He convinced some chick to steal an apple. That's like in the top 3 worst things you can ever do.

[-] bstix@feddit.dk 2 points 10 hours ago

She didn't do anything bad. The apple didn't belong to anyone.

The whole story is about God gaslighting them to believe that they should be punished for violating arbitrary rules.

[-] theuniqueone@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 13 hours ago

I've missed the Christian baby genre and haven't seen it in awhile.

[-] Siethron@lemmy.world 15 points 14 hours ago

Just because the amulet of protection in the shape of a crucifix doesn't mean it has anything to do with god. Wizards are mischievous.

[-] AgentOrangesicle@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago

Yeah, put that shit on before the fuzz arrives.

[-] FreddiesLantern@leminal.space 5 points 11 hours ago

Killing babies, you know, Tuesdays.

[-] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 18 points 17 hours ago

Maybe don't shoot the baby?

[-] 6stringringer@lemmy.zip 3 points 10 hours ago

While wearing the necklace, can the baby fly? Does it have sharp teeth and can lunge incredible distances with serious force? If they are leaving out this bit of information, it doesn’t help the argument whatsoever.

[-] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 3 points 10 hours ago

Next you say a baby is not allowed to lunge incredible distances or have sharp teeth?

[-] 6stringringer@lemmy.zip 3 points 10 hours ago

If baby follows rules, baby don’t get shot.

[-] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 3 points 9 hours ago

Exactly. Be nice and the baby won't hurt you.

[-] 6stringringer@lemmy.zip 2 points 9 hours ago

What if baby try and steal from you via crypto scam?

[-] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 8 points 15 hours ago

Literally impossible without having Jesus in your hearts.

[-] OneWomanCreamTeam@sh.itjust.works 6 points 13 hours ago

Instructions unclear, several latino men stuck inside me

[-] Sv443@sh.itjust.works 8 points 15 hours ago

If shotgunning a baby is what it takes to discover immortality...

[-] Taleya@aussie.zone 25 points 19 hours ago

They get weirdly intricate with their baby death fantasies

[-] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago

What if the gun is also cross-shaped?

[-] uberdroog@lemmy.world 3 points 14 hours ago

Dude was out in his yard. Bush on fire told him to murder. Decided probably bad idea. Blames god. Gen 22:1-19

[-] IAMgROOT@lemmy.wtf 1 points 8 hours ago

Genesis 22:18 And in your offspring, all the nations of the earth will be blessed, because you obeyed my voice.”

good idea

[-] SunshineJogger@feddit.org 29 points 23 hours ago

Needs a Christian to even come up with the idea to shoot at a baby....

[-] Iconoclast@feddit.uk 12 points 20 hours ago

I haven't build my identity around not believing in gods. Show me compelling evidence and I'll reconsider. Shotgun pellets bouncing off a baby would definitely offer food for thought.

[-] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 177 points 1 day ago

Imagine that you're trying to shoot a baby

No I don't think that I will.

[-] thorhop@sopuli.xyz 4 points 11 hours ago

It's that "I'd commit murder if it wasn't illegal" mentality. Like "O RLY!?"

[-] Stupidmanager@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago

Or how about you just have this god person you’re so fond of, come on down and shake my hand and then show me how he smites the wicked as he’s done so many times in that book you carry around? Worried you might be on the smite list? Im pretty sure I’m not…

No one wants to kill a baby or eat a baby or just hurt a baby in any way. My goal in life is to get that kid giggling so hard they hiccup.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 116 points 1 day ago

In order to verify that this wasn't a coincidence, I would need to repeat the experiment on multiple babies.
