Satan just wants you to be yourself and be cool to everyone else.

I One should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason.

II The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions.

III One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone.

IV The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one's own.

V Beliefs should conform to one's best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one's beliefs.

VI People are fallible. If one makes a mistake, one should do one's best to rectify it and resolve any harm that might have been caused.

VII Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word.

I wore a shirt with the 7 tenets on the front, and my mother threw a massive fit when she saw it one day.

I sent her plain text of the tenets, and said if she can point to a single thing wrong with anything it says, I'll consider it. I got no response.

Christians frame things as "All of the Christians are sitting here in one group, and all of the non-Christians are sitting over there in a different group."

And that's fine. It's absolutely true.

And if God exists and is the creator of the universe, that's pretty good for the Christians, and pretty bad for everyone else.

But if God doesn't exist, then the Christians are just all together in a group that isn't getting to enjoy their existence while the rest of the world is just trying to enjoy theirs, and the Christians are just trying to prevent those other people from enjoying their lives.

Either way, I'm surprised that the creator of the universe would organize things so that it would look that way from the outside.

The bible also says that god loves all creatures equally and since he created everything he should love every non-christian just as much as he loves christians. So why invest all the time if in the end, he loves you just the same?

Satan doesn't do the punishing, God does.

christian hell is just fire island and satan makes a mean skinny marg

[-] youCanCallMeDragon@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago

Uh oh Deep, if you put more than five seconds of thought into your religion you might lose it. Remember any doubts you have about Christianity were planted in your mind by the devil to lead you away from God. They are definitely not your own rational thoughts!

Satan's biggest sin was giving humans free will. Let that sink in for a bit.

[-] cattywampas@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

Satan didn't give humans free will, God did. They were created that way.

[-] radiofreebc@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

Um, you might want to double check that. The apple in the Garden of Eden is literally the free will metaphor expressed.

[-] cattywampas@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

The fruit (not an apple) is the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. God tells Adam and Eve not to eat from it or they will die.

The serpent (who is not Satan, simply a snake) convinces Eve and subsequently Adam to eat the fruit, basically telling them that God is lying to them and keeping secrets from them.

God subsequently expels them from the Garden of Eden for disobeying him.

Adam and Eve had free will all along, it wasn't given to them by the forbidden fruit.

Because doing evil is evil, and requires an evil person, no matter how they are.

[-] Natanox@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 hours ago

Every individual is capable of good and evil, it doesn't require a specific person for it. In fact believing it does (and therefore usually believing it isn't you or your social group, but others) is a shortcut to inadvertently do evil shit without noticing any of it.
