Shiver me timbers, the God that doesn't bother preventing rape and genocide may lift a finger against me. Must mean I'm a good guy.

That's like a child telling me Santa's not coming this year.
Why should I be afraid? Isn't he like really merciful and stuff?
reads bible
Oh
Yeah, the God of the Bible is a monster.
That's why there was a whole school of thought back in antiquity called Gnosticism where they thought the god of the bible was an evil demiurge that had stolen their souls and locked them in this hellish earth to torture them lol
Shit, are we actually in hell right now?
Would that really be all that surprising?
If you are a Christian, you should be absolutely horrified by the reality of God's coming judgement, since most major denominations of Christianity do not allow for salvation for any other. There are 40,000 denominations (slightly less). It's highly unlikely yours is the right one.
There are a few exceptions. The Holy See recognizes the Orthodoxies, but not Protestants.
And Universalists offer salvation to everyone, even if they're not Christian.
(If God was judging us, They might have given us clear instructions.)
Well given the whole tower of Babel thing I'm inclined to think that God just likes sewing chaos. So I suspect none of the denominations on that "right" denomination
Sowing, but sewing kind of works, too.
I saw this thing once where a christian group had done an experiment where they interviewed people and they found that "people who said they didn't believe in god felt uneasy when saying it" and used that to conclude that they were afraid of gods judgement. No you fucking idiots. They're uneasy about YOU!!!
Threatening people with torture, very Christian
It's because he loves you!

Religious people like being watched and punished.
lol I mean… same
The shear lack of cognitive empathy here is mind blowing. They cannot fathom a world in which they might be wrong. I mean there’s faith and then there is this. I have faith the sun will rise tomorrow, but I can imagine a scenario, however contrived, where that doesn’t happen.
Why would I be afraid of the Abrahamic God's judgement when I know that wily Odin is forever forestalling Ragnarok?
If we're being real Odin would absolutely body the god of the bible in a Flyting.
I mean, that's sort of by design.
The God of the New Testament throws fights all the time. All their favorite people are Martyrs. The greatest hits mostly involve dying and then doing benign miracles from beyond the grave.
idk if you know what a flyting is
Hahahahahaha don't hurt me sky daddy
Omfg laughing so hard
Is Santa gonna come get me too? And the tooth fairy
Hahahahaha
Honestly, of all three, the Tooth Fairy is probably the scariest if real. God couldn't care less about you. Santa visits only once a year when sober, but only if you're sleeping. The Tooth Fairy? How many teeth you got???
Pratchett's Hogfather has an interesting take on that.
Spoilers...
The original Tooth Fairy (the whole thing is now a franchise started by him) is a bogeyman who realised milk teeth, being parts of the body, could be used to control the people they belonged to through sympathetic magic and, lacking a proper occupation due to people no longer believing in bogeymen, decided to collect them and keep them safe to prevent anyone from controlling their previous owners.
Also tooth fairies tend to carry a pair of pliers, in case they're short on change and need to take an extra tooth.
Be nice - pretty much everybody believes something that's wrong.
That to one side, those are not the same things at all. There's evidence for Santa and the Tooth Fairy.
The Easter Bunny is coming! The Easter Bunny is coming!
My thinking is, if the Christian God does exist, then based on his own scripture he's a heinous war criminal who isn't WORTHY of my respect.
Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones.
I always thought I had come up with a similar version of this of my own accord and then I later found out it was an existing quote. Wasn’t it by Marcus Auralias almost 2,000 years ago?
Me too. I don't know if he exist, but if he does, he's a fucking douche.
Just kidding. He doesn't exist.
Pff, you wish, loser, my sky dad can definitely beat yours up. Pussy ass bitch sends angels to do all his murders anyways.
Idk if god isn’t some morally bankrupt joke and actually thought about my life, I think I’d be ok, I volunteer regularly, I give to charity, I like to do random acts of kindness, I’m always ready to lend a hand or a shoulder to cry on. I believe very strongly in the power of community and I’m a lot more culturally christian than most believers I know, I like all the love your neighbor stuff, do unto others, what we do to the least of us… I feed the hungry, I give drink to the thirsty, I welcome the stranger, I clothe the naked, the only one I don’t do is visit those in prison. If god is a good and moral being, I’ll be ok and if it turns out they don’t exist, well I’ll have lived a good life
But if you are a Christian, God might come and randomly tell you to murder your child or randomly rape you wife and you shall be fully accepting of that reality.
That's unrealistic. You can't rape your wife. You own her. It's like saying masturbation is raping yourself. - MAGA
Telling someome who isn't Christian to fear God and his divine wrath is no different from someone who practices Hinduism telling a non-Hindu person they're gonna reincarnate as a lowly worm. Or a devout Muslim telling a non-Muslim person they're going to Hell for eating pork.
It really doesn't do much for anyone other than make you look like an asshole.
christofascists making bioweapons or dirty bombs or some shit, wants to murder millions, but it's not their genocidal fantasies - it's GOD.
sure bud.
Lol, I'm horrified so many people still believe this dualistic, supernatural hocus pocus. If you study the history it's obvious men made up all the supernatural stuff to control people easier than just force. It came about when groups got larger and wealth inequality took over. The men wanted to keep their benefits and power and made up one version after another, each with a more fantastic story to really impress people!
Real truth does set you free from all that unhealthy baggage and truth withstands scrutiny, unlike the unfalsifiable stories they demand belief, like Sagan's invisible dragon story. It's a system that made up a problem for them to solve, and people don't see that. The NT was written to match the OT. The namesake said we can transcend here and now, as conscious stardust, not some magic realm later, be woke now. Peace!
No noes! Alduin will end us all! HA
I'm afraid of his current world
My reasoning is, that if God exists and is just like Christians claim, then it is enough that I live like a good person. If he is petty and judges me for the fact that I don't worshop him, then I wouldn't want to worship him anyway and fuck him.
It really isn't that terrifying, when you tell me, that your imaginary friend is angry with me.
My thinking on the matter is this:
If God exists, he would be more pissed at me for lying and taking his name in vain, rather than being honest about it and say that the evidence available to the normal man doesn't convince me he existed.
Surprised to see no one here thinking: modern American Christians are the ones that better hope God isn’t real. By his own words, he will cast out these two faced “believers” that praise him with their words but defy his teachings with their actions. They all think they have fire insurance in their back pocket by being baptized and publicly declaring they accept Jesus. But, as a testament to their ignorance of their own religion, they fail to read Jesus’ actual words saying that isn’t enough.
The righteous badass power people try to project into their keystrokes just doesn't come out of the screen.
