@noctuaminervae NO fan of religion because I think the world would be a million times better off without any of it. But ROCK ON to this particular pope.

@nomdeb @noctuaminervae Why? All he's saying is that God is an asshole with selective hearing. Who the fuck needs that? #ReligionPoisonsEverything

@Imgoneinpeace @noctuaminervae I say this as an atheist: every single teaching of the Jesus of the Christian Bible preaches against everything that is being done in the name of white Christian nationalism in America — and yes, other countries too.
@nazokiyoubinbou @noctuaminervae but the bible does defend and protect slavery so...

Poor Petie. An alcohol ravaged brain, patsie-level comprehension and too many war comics up against 1500 years of "language as a weapon".

@Imgoneinpeace @noctuaminervae Alright, if you want to get down to an individual point by point basis, yes there are some things it defends (especially the old testament, though then supposedly the point of Christianity is following the new testament over the old.)
But the fundamental point remains the same. Christianity teaches things such as helping the needy, not locking them up or killing them, feeding the poor, etc etc. In almost every meaningful way it really is the opposite.

@Imgoneinpeace @noctuaminervae And don't get me wrong. I'm not defending Christianity. I already said I'm an atheist. Clearly I can't get along with it. I'm merely pointing out the freaking stupid level of hypocrisy involved in pretending that this is all somehow "ok" according to their religion.
(As a side note, my favorite is all this is built on Evangelism, which is the thing that made the Jesus of the Bible so mad he had to flip over tables and hand make a whip to hit people with.)

@Imgoneinpeace @nazokiyoubinbou @noctuaminervae The bible doesn't, people do. If they look around and put meaning into some words and not others, they can defend almost anything.
But this is already a broader scope. The original topic was Jesus and you talk about the bible. There's a lot more than Jesus in the bible. You could make a point if you find Jesus defending slavery in the bible though. Do you?

@skaphle @Imgoneinpeace @noctuaminervae The Old Testament excuses slavery, even setting down some rules over it.
I don't think off the top of my head that the New Testament and specifically that Jesus ever did however. Christianity generally puts the New Testament and Jesus ahead though, so sometimes points from the Old Testament are considered *not* correct anymore in Christianity.

@anne_twain Well, his prayer, as quoted in the above piece, is from Psalm 18:37–41, mostly, with a side order of Isaiah 9:4 ("rod of the oppressor", referring to Gideon's victory over the Midianites in Judges 6–7). The charming bit about "breaking the teeth of the ungodly" is from Psalm 58:6. All very Old Testament.
