I Just realised something, I've never heard a Muslim telling anyon they can't eat pork
Or draw the profit...oh wait
Not pork, but... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_in_Saudi_Arabia
Only in their country though.
This isn't fucking Facebook, don't censor yourself
Fuck, Fuck, Fuck, Fuck.
Fuck, Fuck, Fuck, Fuck, Fuck, Fuck
Unfortunately, tolerating their delusions only encourages them.
Don't forget "Someone told me that my religion says you can't do that!"
People ask me why I, an atheist, am so political about my atheism. The answer, of course, is, that it's self defense against religion encroaching on my life via religious politics.
"My religion says I can't get my kids vaccinated."
"Fuck off."
People's kids are real people, not owned by their parents. Treating children as parental property or non humans is the foundation of a lot of problems with the world.
"Fuck off."
Fixed it for ya.
You can't say "fuck" it's against my religion!
Kind of inevitable when they worship a god who is supposedly always right, yet evidently wrong and blatantly hypocritical. "Always right" obscures the hypocrisy, they twist themselves into knots trying to make it make sense instead of just admitting it is literal nonsense.
"That was the old covenant."
So god was wrong then, realized it, and changed?
"Well no, you're ignoring the context."
Slavery and rape were socially acceptable, and omnipotent god didn't want to rock the boat?
"We just can't understand omnipotence."
They somehow fail to acknowledge that if god is ALL-POWERFUL, literally anything that happens is because he chose it to happen.
"No, he gave us free will."
If he's all-powerful, there is no free will. He knew what we would do with it and chose to create us anyway. All of our choices are his choice. Also, what about times in the bible when god explicitly swayed someone's mind? And why are we being punished for someone else misusing the free will?
The bible exists to normalize, even glorify, abuse.
I hope people everywhere stop tolerating death cults.
"I know what my God demands of you"
But when questioned further
"God works in mysterious ways"
One of my all-time favorites: "no Jesus fulfilled the law so we don't have to follow it anymore." Oh so we can do whatever we want now, the laws are gone! Don't worry about the ten commandments then.
What’s ironic is… that passage, Jesus is saying the exact opposite.
“Do not think I have come to abolish the law and the prophets I have not come to abolish it, but to fulfill it.” It goes onto say that the law is eternal, and won’t be changed and blah blah blah.
(The idea of the law being made to go away comes from the heretic, Paul, who realized that centipede were unlikely to convert if they had to get snipped as Jesus intended.)
Yes, lol. I don't even understand that phrasing. He came to fulfill the old testament law? How does one fulfill commands about beating slaves? "Not one jot or tiddle will change... except all the changes I'm making. But also I'm unchanging because I'm god." It frightens me when people assert that the bible contains no contradictions. It is a dangerous lack of critical thinking.
Jesus's real message was "do as I say, not as I do, and maybe I'll spare you my wrath." And then he didn't even say clearly what we should do. I like the golden rule. Jesus neither invented nor embodied it, he was a complete hypocrite according to the gospels.

It's almost like the whole thing was made up by an assortment of self-appointed leaders who were trying to control other people's behaviors.
It feels like Jesus and God are well, sepparate entities too.
And that's how a few satanic religions popped up, that said to do the thing the other religion doesn't want.
NAMBLA, too.
Hopped on the back of the LGBTQ movement and just started echoing all the grievances as an excuse for sexual assault.
Then religious extremists used their bad faith as a popular critique of the larger movement. And the next 30 years was this stupid argument about whether Teletubbies were a grooming gang.
When will we get rid of this right-wing artefact?
Freedom from religion(TM)
No person ought, or of right can be compelled, to attend any religious worship, or erect, or support any place of worship, or maintain any minister, contrary to the dictates of his conscience.
