fun fact... killing jesus was always god's plan. god set adam and eve up in the garden specifically so he could LARP as a Nice Guy™. In fact, not killing jesus would have condemned humanity to eternal suffering, and therefore would have been sin. Not that anyone had a choice, because it's all part of god's plan, right, and god's plan always comes to fruition.

If you believe in that sort of thing.

The Abrahamic god is literally a war god. It evolved from El and Yahweh, members of the pantheon of the polytheistic Canaanite religion. El is the father of all gods and Yahweh is a weather and war god. So yeah no wonder that the Abrahamic god does crazy evil shit. Like killing all first born sons.

Fortunately; if god is real he got bored with this particular video game and moved onto some thing more exciting.

Yep, we're living in God's ant farm and he's a bored toddler. And one day he'll show up with a magnifying glass and have a laugh.

That's why I'm an atheist. I'm too optimistic.

Doesn't the Bible go on and on about how the devil is the great deceiver? Seems accurate considering how many people think God was the good guy.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

What do you think the word "Deceiver" means in this context?

He could be just really, really stupid.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

My belief is that, if there ever was a god, he looked at the world he created and died of Christian pity.
