Why don't people create more propaganda that paints God as a transexual black woman sitting on the chair? Jesus as someone gay too? I feel like, if we destroy the image of God being a white bearded old man, all the religious people will develop second thoughts, specially the racist ones, which is the majority.
There is a reason why there hasn't been a black pope, or a female pope, which is Christianity being super racist and misogynistic. If their excuse is that "women are weaker creatures that cannot be the voice of God" or, as I was told in my super religious school when I was a kid and Pope John Paul II died: "if the next pope is black, it means the Antichrist is here". For a fucking 12 year old to tell me that it meant their parents were racist as hell, and I live in Mexico, in a state where there are literally like 1 or 2 black people per city, I am not exageratting.
Not only that, but if you watch the Oscar-award winner movie, Spotlight, you will see how did the Vatican and the Pope protect over a hundred of pedophiles in one american state alone out of the 50 if I don't remember wrong. In poorer countries like Mexico or southeramerican ones, they are more rampant and worse, there's a mexican movie depicting a priest having sex with a little girl and then taking her to take an abortion, in a very poor town outside the big cities. I am sure that kind of shit is so, so common here, just without the ability to make enough noise about it worldwide, it sickens me.
Nobody, absolutely nobody, needs religion to be a good person, we should indocrinate this to our kids, not religion. We can teach the best religious' values without the divine divisive bullshit. The Vatican is covered in gold, yet a youtuber like mr beast has done more good with his money than they have ever done in decades, it's really embarrassing to see their obvious evilness. Religion is poison.
There have actually been three popes from Africa! Though the last one was pope from 492 to 496. Not 1492... 492.
I totally agree with you though, I just had to "uh actually' a little because I think it's interesting.

The Scathing Atheist podcast has been reading through the new testament lately with Jesus played as a sassy gay man.
According to Genesis, man was made in god’s image. Archeologists have determined that the oldest humans were black. It would be more accurate for sure.
How do paint a woman as transexual? Why would a being without what we can recognize as a physical body even need reassignment surgery?
Or even Jesus as gay? Is he gonna be gulpin down glizzys? Because Rule 34 assures us that already exists.
I think you're a little lost in the weeds, bruv.
If anything, republicans are perfectly represented by Jeezuz Jeezy if you will because he is a total asshole true and thru. Yeah, that's right, Jesus Christ is an asshole. Last night for example a bunch of people died in Gaza and Ukraine, innocent, hungry people. And guess what? putin is still alive, Mr Yahoo is still alive. They probably had some of the best tasting grapes by licking them off virgins bodies yesterday while they were freely murdering. Where's Jesus? Oh! It's s mystery! Oh he's using putin for a good cause. Bullshit! The Christian Church is pure bullshit.
