Here’s one small item of Christian mythology that really irks me: if you die a non-believer, you will be cast into the lake of fire to burn for eternity. Really? He’ll use the result of evolution, pain, a system to warn living things of a danger to their well-being, to torture the damned for eternity? I find that annoying.

I talk about conspiracies on another thread, and I can’t forget the God conspiracy: God won’t reveal himself, because it would destroy our alleged free will, so he has to hint about himself with the wonders of the universe, his best-selling book, and arbitrary visions to certain individuals. Either you figure it out or you’ll cook for eternity.

So how many so-called Christians are cheering on the Ukrainians and handing them more weapons? If I’m not mistaken, their Jesus told them not to resist an evil person (Matthew 5-38/-40). Probably the most ignored teaching of Jesus.

Thinking again about Jesus telling us to turn the other cheek, (Gee, I wonder why?) it almost seems like he is talking about Karma (something else I don’t believe in). If someone strikes you, it’s his bad Karma, but if you strike back then it is yours. By the way, Boris Johnson mentioned Jesus’ turn the other cheek sermon when talking about Ukraine, but then went on to say Putin has pushed us too far. Why did he even bother?

Was taking a trip to my local feed store and saw a big sign saying “God is Love”. Is it true? I don’t know. As A=B means B=A, does that mean that Love is God? Not sure about that.

So one of the basic tenets of Christianity is sin. So what is sin? Apparently mere, humans can offend the creator of the universe with their behavior, even though he created us. Sorry, that is one of the lamest ideas I ever heard.

One big piece of evidence to me that the Bible is not divinely inspired but written by man is Jesus’s claim that “the truth shall set you free”. That is the second dumbest words ever uttered, only beaten by Marx’s “From each according to their ability, to each according to their need”. The “truth” will not set you free even if truth exists. It sounds like something that some self-help guru would say.

So man is made in God’s image? So God looks like an ugly hairless ape?

Changed the name of this thread from “What’s it all about, Jesus?” because if there is any quote that sounds more like it was the word of man, not God, it’s this. As I said before, it sounds like something a motivational guru would say.

What is truth anyway? I see things that I believe are true yet few others do. Whose truth will set you free?

Did people invent God so there would be someone who cares what they think?

So the evangelicals are getting all wacky with some claimed revival coming out of Kentucky. I tried to tempt them to come on this board a while back to defend their trailer trash religion but got no takers.

So God has helluva a great deal for you: He’ll give you 70 years or so of the ups and downs of life, but if you screw up you get an eternity of damnation. Such a deal! When did I sign up for this exactly?

Spent a few minutes with Babylon Bee, a Christian comedy site. Sorry, I can’t listen to any guy with his cap on backwards.

Haven’t picked on Christianity lately. Why don’t I also pick on Buddhism. Islam, or Hinduism? Maybe if I was born in Thailand, Morocco, or India I would fell the need. Or not. Who knows? But I was born here and I have to rant against Christianity, which I think is a nightmare.
