In the near-future the Bible will be banned for spreading "Socialist Values" and being "Too Woke"

[-] midnight_puker@sh.itjust.works 21 points 4 days ago

Eh, I'm fine with it. The death of Christianity will be a net good for humanity, so I'll take whatever gets us closer to that.

All three Abrahamic religions need to die.

Have you seen the kinds of cultish grifts New Agers AND New Atheists alike have been on? Nature abhors a vaccuum.

Just saying I don't want the Spirit Science guy calling the shots on major holidays

[-] cows_are_underrated@feddit.org 7 points 4 days ago

I think a school in Texas already did that to troll all of the "Christian parents caring about traditional values".

Conservapedia was rewritting the bible... its very christian of them.

If evangelicals could read, they would be very upset at your comment.

It’s so sad that no one has read the fucking Bible.

[-] DarkDarkHouse 43 points 4 days ago

It’s easier to thump a bible when it’s closed.

[-] Walican132@lemmy.today 8 points 4 days ago

I’ve never heard this before and I love it thanks for sharing that.

Would an appropriate response to these people be RTFM?

[-] zloubida@lemmy.world 29 points 4 days ago

As a progressive Christian, that's something I want to say almost everytime I read somethung written by an Evangelical.

[-] Hylactor@sopuli.xyz 16 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

I am not religious, but I have devoted a good chunk of time to reading the bible. If I can do it, someone who essentially stands to gain nothing by reading it can do it, so can and should all these greasy-ass politicians who use it as a political prop. The only thing more irksome than inflexibly, overly literal religious people, are phony religious people who don't even know what they're talking about. And then the next level of annoying beyond that is yhe voting public who allows the charade. They should be the ones pressing these politicians. "Two Corinthians" Donald? What the fuck are you talking about?

[-] Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 19 points 4 days ago

No, see, you can do it because you have nothing to lose. If they actually read and understand the Bible, then they have to start living according to it, and that would suck. "For I say to you it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of the needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven?" No thank you sir, that would ruin my prosperity gospel!

[-] IndiBrony@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago

To be fair to the camel, God hadn't heard of the Byford Dolphin incident yet.

The bible’s a neat old book of parables and early concepts of morals. Like most things, the fanbase is probably the worst part.

Not even the Bible. Have these people seriously not heard the words him and her prior to three years ago? Do they really think they are new words?

[-] Signtist@lemm.ee 36 points 4 days ago

It's not that they haven't heard the words "him" and "her," it's that they haven't heard the word "pronoun." They don't know what it means, and think that it's something the trans community made up.

There's so many translation errors anyway, iirc the oldest known version says essentially "I am the living god".

Not only did Jesus use pronouns, but tradition dictates that we go so far as to capitalize His pronouns.

[-] Old_Yharnam@lemmy.world 31 points 4 days ago

And even if Jesus didn’t, who gives a flying fuck?

[-] Apytele@sh.itjust.works 14 points 4 days ago

I'm steadily approaching gender and pronoun accelerationist abolishinism. Just keep making more and more genders and pronouns until they collapse in on their own weight; all of them were fake to begin with anyway, including masculine and feminine.

At least stop putting them on standard government forms for ID and shit. The government doesn't need to know anything about my genitals or how I talk or dress (let alone any ways in which they are or are not related) for me to drive a car.

[-] HK65@sopuli.xyz 6 points 4 days ago

Yeah, I dream of having this whole debate behind us, and it will look as weird to people as having religion in our ID like they had it in the 30s looks to us now.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Pronouns have nothing to do with your genitals according to modern interpretation.

So, do they not understand what pronouns are, or do they not know the Bible?

[-] over_clox@lemmy.world 22 points 4 days ago

Every time I see a bumper sticker that says "What Would Jesus Do?" or the shorter "WWJD?"...

I'm like "Well he wouldn't have drove a car for one, they didn't even exist."

[-] Rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca 57 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

He had a Honda, but didn't like to talk about it.

“For I did not speak of my own Accord” - John 12:49

My guess is it was probably slightly dinged with a coffee can muffler with a "co-exist" bumper sticker, and missing a hubcap.

[-] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 6 points 4 days ago

All these people saying Jesus is my copilot or asking him to take the wheel neglect the fact that he would be a terrible driver and had like no sense of direction. Dude couldn't even stay dead right.

That actually makes a lot of sense. Scientists believe the Big Bang created the vast majority of the universe’s helium.
