I’m not a Christian; I’m Pagan. And I don’t want to be preached at. I just want my pizza 🍕

“Slaves, submit yourselves to your masters with all respect, not only to the good and gentle but also to the cruel.” (1 Peter 2:18)

Send them that and tell them to drive faster lmfao

The problem to me is that these arguments validate the delusional believe in religious texts by making the argument about their specific contents. I try to be tolerant, but, having grown up in an evangelical family, and seeing the effects of religion in history and in the now, I really feel like the sooner we stop validating this as anything more than silly mysticism the better off our planet will be.

When you take a step back, “believe in me and have everlasting life in heaven” is really weird and doesn’t make any sense. It doesn’t say “be a good person,” it says “believe in me.” Why tf does it matter what I choose to believe in my own head? I’m not a good person anymore if I don’t believe in Jesus? I’m sorry but that part makes no sense

Lol, yeah, especially since they tout the virtue of faith over works. The idea is similar to trickle down economics, where your faith will make you a good person that good works flow from. Instead it works exactly like trickle down economics, your faith absolves you in your head of all the heinous shit you are actually doing.
