God, please protect this racist pedophile adulterous rapist thief.

Sincerely,

A “Christian”

To be fair, have you read the Bible? He'd fit right in. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I have. He would fit in many places, Sodom, Gomorrah, the rapey parts of Genesis and Deuteronomy, or the slave promoting section of Leviticus…

Plenty of parts of Revelations, too.

He, like Jesus, did call others he didnt like Dogs.

If you're only reading the old testament, then you're not reading the Bible.

If Jesus existed, he would beat Trump to death with his bare hands.

I feel like we should start calling these false Christians ~~Muslims~~ or Jews to fuck with them.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago

Maybe we shouldn't invoke other religions as an insult.

Muslim doesn’t make sense. The Quran includes the New Testament.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Thanks for the correction. I thought the old testament was the divergence point of the Abrahamic religions.

I was raised Catholic, so I remember it like this:

Jews: God talked to one of our people.

Christians: That’s great! Tell us all about it!

Muslims: God talked to one of our people.

Christians: There’s no fucking way that happened.

It's weird because the old testament was about the Jews. There weren't any Christians yet. If you are a Christian you should only be reading the New testament.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Nah. The Christian Bible includes the Old Testament (Torah) and the New Testament. The New Testament is a continuation of what they believe to be God’s word. Just like the Quran contains both the Torah and New Testament as well as several chapters that chronologically follow.

Jesus said he had not come to abolish the old law.

Looking at different Christian sects' leadership, this seems consistent.
