“Religion has actually convinced people... that there's an invisible man... living in the sky... who watches everything you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of TEN THINGS HE DOES NOT WANT YOU TO DO. And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever 'til the end of time!

...But He loves you."

-George Carlin

And he needs money!

[–] AllonzeeLV@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

All knowing, all powerful, all wise... JUST CAN'T HANDLE MONEY!

Carlin didn't do this one, but I always liked the joke about the three religious leaders talking about how they're going to divide up their collection money and one of them says "I just throw it all up into the air. Whatever God catches, he can keep."

Thank you, Steve Gutenberg.

Everyone takes offense to Fisher Stevens' offensive brownface act.

I take offense to the suggestion that such a shitty joke can be used to guage self awareness.

To be fair, the (Christian) Bible doesn't say you have to love God, only to ask forgiveness. Like you can be the biggest piece of shit on Earth, but if you apologize to God on your deathbed, it's cool.

What a system, it encourages bad behaviour and gives you an easy solution out? That's why it's fucked.

[–] HelloHotel@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

"Ask for" is a low bar, "geuinely be sorry" isnt, i think most cristians repent for big stuff in the same way they would to the negbor for running over his cat.

Only if there's a priest there to hear it! 👆

[–] xintrik@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

Jesus died so we don't need priests anymore 😊

Love that the creator of the universe is so fucking proud that it has to hurt itself in some weird masochistic ritual rather than admit that the creation wasn't perfect.

Martin Luther has this one weird trick to get forgiveness from God, and the Catholic church hates him!

[–] drbi@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago (2 children)

What god?

[–] Seraph@kbin.social 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Zeus always was a jerk!

[–] MNByChoice@midwest.social 3 points 2 years ago

The best part of polytheistic religions is how relatable the gods are. One is a jerk, another the unloved child. Dad sleeps around, and Mom is either super forgiving, or runs Hell.

A major one

[–] rubicon@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

Oh...

[–] scarabic@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Some would protest that hell isn’t really talked about in the Bible. But it sure is on every single page of the Koran.

[–] groats_survivor@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I always that that was a religious leader made up thing

Can someone share specifically where it says that in the bible?

[–] labrat55@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Good being fair, compassionate, or good is not nearly as important as his being real.
