I know a large portion of them genuinely don't believe in the science or what have you, but a majority of them simply don't give a fuck, because they've been promised a golden mansion and all of their loved ones healthy and happy. And all they have to do is stay meek and easily forgive all transgressions until they die. Then they're free!

[–] NegativeInf@lemmy.world 58 points 2 months ago (1 children)

HA! Meek and forgiving my ass.

[–] kamenlady@lemmy.world 40 points 2 months ago (2 children)

They forgive the real aggressors and unload all that anger at targets chosen by the very same aggressors.

This guy gets it.

Sorry. Lady.

Yeah this. Shortly before he left the church, a friend of mine's pastor told him not to recycle because it delays the end times. These people want Armageddon and think they're doing god's work by hurrying it along.

[–] futatorius@lemm.ee 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

According to mainstream Christianity, that's trying to force God to do something. And the Bible is clear that nobody, not even the faithful, will know when the end times will come.

Not that I care, being an atheist. But these people make shit up without even bothering to see if it's consistent with the shit that's already been made up.

How about this, if god has a plan, all prayer for favoritism is a subversive of that plan. People will pray for their kid's little league team to win, but eye ball parasites must stay.

“However, no one knows the day or hour when these things will happen, not even the angels in heaven or the Son himself. Only the Father knows.".

I feel like I should start calling myself an ironic Christian because I've actually read the book.

Making decisions in God's name - that should be heretical or something?
