That part at the end wasn’t really intended from the first moment i thought of replying to your comment, i added it mainly as a (somewhat offensive) joke. My trail of thought was that considering what’s written in the old testament, what is currently happening wouldn’t mean that we are “straying away from god’s light”, instead getting society (or at least Florida) closer to the morals of the old version of the deity. permalink fedilink source parent [–] PipedLinkBot@feddit.rocks [B] 2 points 3 years ago Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/zYPhXA2zHCU Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

[–] RDrew@ttrpg.network 6 points 3 years ago (3 children) I wasn’t really evangelizing as much as stating that the christian god endorsed slavery, Ephesians 6:5–8, Colossians 3:22–24, 1 Timothy 6:1–2, Titus 2:9–10. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] AnonymousDeity@beehaw.org 1 point 3 years ago* (2 children) Yes, the old testament has some ethically bad things in it, all Abrahamic religions share that. I'm also atheist. I just don't make a point of commenting "fictional character" on a meme that happens to use the word "god", not even capitalized lmao. Perhaps you aren't aware of how much of a militant atheist you come off as. Out of curiosity, have you ever put the bible in the fiction section? I would never read an innocuous meme comment condemning slavery and think "ah yes, time to make a point about religion being fake and bad". permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] RDrew@ttrpg.network 1 point 3 years ago* (last edited 3 years ago) I wouldn’t consider myself a militant atheist as much as an agnostic maltheist or dystheist. The comment that it’s fictional is more of a joke i added, knowing how riled up some can get regarding the topic. I haven’t ever placed that book in the fictional section, as i don’t visit libraries all that often, however i would certainly consider it hilarious. permalink fedilink source parent [–] RDrew@ttrpg.network 0 points 3 years ago No, i haven’t ever put the bible in the fiction section (though i would consider it honestly hilarious).
