    In the few interactions we have had, you have actively defended a death cult. This behavior harms you, me, and everyone else. I consider it a sign of dangerous unintelligence when someone pretends that magic is real, a staggering lack of reading comprehension to fail to recognize the bible as fiction.

    This just comes off as bigotry. Plain and simple. There’s nothing unintelligent with being religious or the lack thereof it. Yes, I, like the majority of humanity, believe in the supernatural. There’s nothing wrong with that.

    If you’re referring to your specific upbringing within a family in the Southern United States within a Baptist denomination as the “death cult”, then no, I am not defending that. It sounds like they didn’t even teach you anything about “believe or you’ll perish” but didn’t give you anything to believe in.

    Specifically, I believed in a loving god, but my parents embodied the cruel and violent tyrant of the old testament.

    This is a misconception. Jesus in the New Testament talks about hell and warns of impending doom, in addition to Revelation (more than the old testament). While the Old Testament also demonstrates God’s patience and love, teaches you to love your neighbour, etc.

      You are the bigot. I am defending reality from your death cult.

      There’s nothing unintelligent with being religious or the lack thereof it.

      Yes, there is. You accept claims without evidence. You pretend magic is real. You ignore blatant contradictions in the bible. You pretend hate is love. You lack critical thinking skills. It’s dangerous.

      Yes, I, like the majority of humanity, believe in the supernatural.

      Citation needed.

      There’s nothing wrong with that.

      Yes there is, you selfish moron. There is only one truth. “Supernatural” means not real. Stop believing in things that are not real. Beliefs drive our actions. You are actively making the world worse by pretending magic is real. You support the same death cult that ruined my life and is killing more people every day.

      It is wrong to be wrong. Grow up.

      If you’re referring to your specific upbringing within a family in the Southern United States within a Baptist denomination as the “death cult”, then no, I am not defending that.

      All the abrahamic faiths are death cults. Yahweh is a death god. He solves problems of his own making with needless violence. Christians worship a zombie savior, drink his blood, eat his flesh. Belief in an afterlife devalues our real lives. My parents think they are going to heaven when they die. They don’t care when human life is lost, they pretend the dead are better off that way.

      And you are defending it. Magical thinking is intolerable.

      It sounds like they didn’t even teach you anything about “believe or you’ll perish” but didn’t give you anything to believe in.

      Don’t make assumptions. Ask questions. Kids are dying for this.

      This is a misconception. Jesus in the New Testament talks about hell and warns of impending doom, in addition to Revelation (more than the old testament).

      It was their interpretation, the church’s and my parents’. How do you know they were wrong and you are right? There is no standard, no way to verify. You already normalized delusion, and I was abused for it. There is no undoing that.

      The least you can do is stop spreading this cancer.

      Your false beliefs are a threat to all life.

      While the Old Testament also demonstrates God’s patience and love, teaches you to love your neighbour, etc.

      Dumb fuck: “do what I say or suffer” IS NOT LOVE. God is not patient in the bible, he’s impulsive, cruel, and really fucking stupid. “I made man bad. I flood world. Oops, man still bad. Oh well.” What an idiot.

      Fuck you for choosing death. There is blood on your hands, murderer.
