    Is Jesus God? Because God had some pretty shitty things to say about women and gay folk. 🤷‍♂️

      The Old Testament, to me at least, is essentially worthless. It has likely been mistranslated and misinterpreted over the many, many centuries of its existence to the point where its original meaning (if it had any in the first place) is gone.

      The NT is at least more readable and contains quite a bit of wisdom. Message is pretty simple: essentially, love and forgive others. Which we could all do more of, especially in this day and age.

      What I don’t necessarily agree with is needing obedience to a central dogma or organized religion…I think the only thing that matters is how you live your life and treat others. Doesn’t matter the religion, or lack of religion. We are all equal.

      That’s the thing about Jesus. He was sent to earth to finally be nice to humans by his vengeful, controlling father, as a gesture of reconciliation.

        God sounds like a massive piece of shit.

        Women must be subservient to men! Stone the gays! You can own human beings as property!

        JK! LOL Here’s my son, you can torture him to death in a horrific fashion, so we’re cool, right?

        No man… We’re pretty damn far from cool…
