I am not an atheist, I genuinely believe that God exists and he is evil, like a toddler who fries little ants with a lens.

    I’ve always said (jokingly since I’m an atheist) that Christians got it mixed up and thought Satan was God, so they’ve really been worshiping Satan all this time. They don’t want to admit they’re wrong about him being good, so they make up all kinds of excuses for all the horrible things he does. That’s why they were totally conditioned and ready to do the same with trump.

      Just a gentle reminder that there are very many more Christians in the world that aren’t American and certainly don’t support Trump. Or even care that much about American politics.

        LOL there aren’t people in the rest of the world. America is everything and everything is America. If you don’t agree will bring “Freedom” to you.

        And a reminder that the Crusades and Inquisition both happened before USA was a country or even colonies. And Protestantism started because some people thought the Catholic church was too lenient (while trying to avoid being put to death by the Catholic church for saying that publically).

        Not to defend American Christianity, but I’m not buying that it’s fine outside of America.

      No, Satan is just a being created by God who realized how fucked up God is.

      Of course, the issue with God is that its presence equates power with morality, which makes people think Trump is a moral man.

        I can’t agree with this enough. My sister, a Christian, even agrees. Things are “good” and “bad” because god says they are, and for no other reason. And god is the highest good simply because he said that he is. The reason he gets to make those rules is that he’s the most powerful.

      The Christian god is just a spurned lover who wrote in their diary about how stupid and mean their ex is and they should never have dumped him.

      Satan is the dumper and has moved on long ago.

      Most ancient religions had gods that were both good and evil. They were flawed and just as bad as humans if not worse for their abuse of power. Christianity and Judaism is pretty different in that they claim god is super good, especially Christians, even though there are things in their own Bible that show their god being evil.

      I always used to wonder why they worshipped such a shitty god, and if I, a mere human, have better morals and know right and wrong better than the Christian god, what good is he?

        There’s simply no reason an all-powerful being needs anyone to be tortured to death to initiate a forgiveness. Torturing someone’s descendants because they fucked up is some cartel shit. If your religion has morals on par with a cartel you might be objectively incorrect.

          God works in mysterious ways

          It’s all part of his plan

      100% and they should swap jobs too. You hear from Christians all the time “this is the devils work” or “Satan made me do it.”

      Conversely, how often do you hear this?

      “What, that place? That one their? Yeah, that place is heaven on earth.”

      Never

      But “hell on earth” we hear all the time. You know why?

      Because Satan is busy.

      Imagine how much work hed do, if he got to be in charge. “Wanna know what will really piss yahweh off?”
