Lol, it always comes back to an intellectually deficient group of morons and their baseless deity.
Yes, the army of God here to (checks notes) be absolutely monstrous fuckheads to their neighbors, just as Jesus teaches...
"And the Lord said unto thee: fuck those brown skinned mofos, they don't even pay taxes!"
I always find it ironic when religious people try to use race as a justification for their bigotry when Jesus was clearly of middle eastern descent.
It infuriates me beyond belief that I was one of the few individuals who actually read through the bible when I was forced to go to catholic school.
That and the absolutely abhorrent state of humanity really designates evidence that these books of all major religions are just the words of man to trick people into believing a god.
Malleable idiots are the easiest to control, after all. The inquisition proved this and every major violent engagement since has just been additional evidence.
What just dumbfounds me is that about every other year, my religious family start talking about how they're going to do some group thing where they read through the entire bible. I know how that goes... Even while they're reading through it all, they still cherry pick what they are going to talk about each week because there is just so many gosh dang words in there. Then they forget 60% of what they even talked about. Then they spew off as if they know everything ever about christianity while never having read any of the apologetics or philosophical underpinnings of even their creed, much less any other. It's a symptom of the last few decades, I think, where we accept the barest minimum of understanding of a subject as being enough to confidently believe we are knowledgeable. Dunning-Kruger strikes again, I guess.
