The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

Fuck you and fuck this take. Theists don't have a monopoly on the capacity to be charitable and a positive influence.

But we do on rational charitability. You know what's right and what's wrong. You can believe in good and evil without believing in the same God who put it there. Just how someone can also believe the summer is especially warm without believing in man-made climate change.

If there was a just god, it would hate people like you, that's for sure.

And why's that? Because you hate me and you are always right?

If there was a god who was perfectly just and nothing else, wouldn't he hate all of us?

No, because you’re a sanctimonious asshole who thinks they’re automatically better than other people because of a belief that you have. A belief, I should add, that would be wildly different had you been born in, say, Cairo of Hangzhou or Bangkok, or any number of other cities with religious traditions outside of Christianity.
