Bud, you’re not doing any good here. Your approach assumes the other person believes that Jesus is real. That’s like arguing for human rights with a Republican – it’s fundamentally against their ideals.
Do you really think you’re the first Christian who’s told them this? Did they just emerge from the cave they’ve spent their entire life in just to post on Lemmy?
Do you really think He has turned a blind eye to that? Because He has not.
Matthew 7:21-23
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’
Luke 17:2
It would be better for them to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around their neck than to cause one of these little ones to stumble.
yeah, I mean, if you have to reach back to an ancient book (that was written by man, and rewritten by man to suit the times and ideals numerous times there after) to find a case for"proof", then the proof is pretty much meanginless… unless the proof is to prove how condoned it is and how long they’ve been allowed to get away with it.
Will you tell Him that to His face on judgement day?
I’d kick him right in the Jimmy for making that worm that burrows into children’s eyes in Africa, destroying their vision
Why not kick him for making you?

At least they’d never be able to say that they weren’t told about this.

God fucked TimDave’s mother?
Does that mean TimDave is Jesus’ half-brother?
Sure.
before or after cockslapping the fuck out of him for turning a blind eye to all his followers diddling kids?

so what you’re saying is he has turned a blind eye seeing as I’ve yet to see a bishop with a millstone, yeah?

Bible hasn’t really been rewritten much. The ESV we have now is pretty accurate.
Its cute that you think that.
We’ve got pretty early manuscripts spread out from across the world. Some dude would have had to travel the world and edit each individual manuscript
Are you posting from hell right now? 🤣
Your choice!
Is it?
Yes?
There is a pretty old debate that if God is all knowing then free will can’t be a thing. I was making an admittedly subtle reference to that.
Isn’t that Calvinism?
Calvinists were loony enough to consider that a feature. But it’s a rough philosophical spot for pretty much all flavors of Christianity.
The only judgement day anyone on earth needs to be concerned with is a Will Smith movie. All others are a load of horseshit.
How dare you ignore our Lord and Savior Terminator 2!
Damn, you’re right! My mistake, make it two Judgement Days
That’s what Satan wants you to think
Who’s that?
He will fuck you and you will beg him to do it again, but he’ll go play piano instead. So fickle, yet such a troubled mind…
Who?
God
So Zeus?
Cute.
Irrelevant since this isn’t a thing.
Still don’t get the unhealthy obsession with that fantasy book.
What counts as an unhealthy obsession? And what fantasy book?
Why wait?
Yep. I’m going to be judged anyway for being an atheist and for being born one of those heathen Jews (I even had a bar mitzvah!), so why not?
I’m going to hell either way. Might as well get my say in.
