“Won’t the judge if the whole earth di what is right? (Genesis, 18:25). Ultimately, god is fair. Nobody will be able to walk away from the judgement and say god wasn’t fair to me.”

watch me. god is fucking unfair

“Remember he [God] doesn’t send people there [hell], people end up there because they’ve chosen to live separately from god their whole lives […]”

AND WHO SET THAT SYSTEM UP?? (spoiler: it was your all-loving god)

“Another reason I don’t believe in reincarnation is that the evidence for it, things like memories of past lives, an be explained by other means: psychological explanations, or lucky guesses, or even demonic influence.”

but your divine intervention is of course completely rational and not at all stemming from religious psychosis /s

“[…] I know from experience that god is infinitely greater in his goodness, holiness, kindness and justice than anyone else.”

HARD disagree, see: Old Testament

“But I believe that truly the worst thing a person can do is to mock and dishonour and refuse to love the person that we owe absolutely everything to: god, our creator.”

oh sure, nothing is worse than not worshipping a fictional character

“when we think about the worst thing a person can do, usually we’ll say it’s harming animals or destroying the environment […] and no question, all of those are horrible.”

yet I highly doubt, you’re a vegan. so don’t tell me anything about how horrible you find animal cruelty when you’re taking part in it

as for my argument that the Israelites were colonisers in the bible:
- god told them to systematic displace and kill indigenous Canaanite populations, which is a core element of settler colonialism
- “the conquest is framed within a specific covenant between God and Israel, giving them a unique, divinely ordained claim to the land, distinct from secular colonialism” BULLSHIT

“Other details about warfare in those days help me understands gods mercy a little better. […] Whenever the Israelites went into an enemy city, they were first to make an offer of peace. If the people accepted it, they wouldn’t be killed. […] Whoever has wanted to be saved, God has saved.”

oh yes, defend colonisers, so true bestie /s

“[…] you may have problems with […] I sure did […] god tells his people, the Israelites, to wipe out their enemies […] until I realised one important thing about god: whoever has repented, god has been willing to save. […] when the firstborn in Egypt died, any family that followed gods directions about marking their homes were spared”

OH HOW VERY KIND OF THE MURDERER
