Weird, I would have thought Elon was more of a Decepticon kinda guy.
Even their names fit Elon better. Megatron. Starscream. Dirge.
Not a fan of the guy btw, in fact I'm saying if you're the devil you shouldn't call your new demonic general The Archangel Gabriel, ya know?
Nah, it makes sense. Religions weren't invented to maintain power for the good guys. People carrying crosses saying they worked for the god of light and benevolence would then hang you by your feet and chop you in half. This is pretty spot on for an evil person.
sources?
The Hammurabi Code, The Pharisees, The Spanish Inquisition, etc. (I'm sure my fellow lemmings could go on and on).
All of civilization has been: 'jumping from one bullshit ghost story to the next to reinforce laws created by the rich'.
Are you new?
That's Lemmy's resident Catholic apologist. They actually believe Christianity has been proven true. Don't waste your time.
the Pharisees hated Christ
"do not murder" is a commandment
Who cares how the Pharisees felt about Christ? They used religion to control people for the rich long before and after Christ. Then others did it in Christ's name. All religions are dumb control mechanisms for the weak willed.
They are not
you have no other sources than a few historical events
and can I have a verse in the Old Testament used to "control the poor"?
So to clarify: you asked for sources. You received sources. You dismissed those sources and asked for more, even though you can't explain why they are not valid to you.
Rejecting evidence is intellectual cowardice.
All of it. Let's see: "Don't seek knowledge or you will be punished." "Be fruitful and multiply; kids are ammo in your quiver, not people." "In fact, it's fine to take slaves as long as the rules are followed."
And it all hinges on: "Obey me or I'll make you suffer and it'll be all your fault." It is fear and guilt used to manipulate people too uneducated to think critically about what they are reading and recognize fiction.
verse?
verse?
Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins. If God was as "evil" as you portray him to be, why would he bear unbearable torture for our sake?
Have you even read one chapter of the bible? Genesis 1:
Psalm 127:
You're mixing up two things here.
Jesus was crucified. A real man was murdered. That was not god, god is not real.
The god described by the bible is 100% evil. He had all the power, chose to make us suffer, guilts us for it, and calls that "love".
The idea that god sent himself to die to solve problems of his own making is a later addition that makes him seem weak and stupid. Nothing is necessary to an all-powerful being.
Oh
It's you
How tiresome.
