A Mississippi man accused of destroying a statue of a pagan idol at Iowa’s state Capitol is now being charged with a hate crime.

And the Cristian wack jobs are in full force donating to his legal defense. Already at 116.000 usd, with completely normal and not at all fanatic comments, like “_ May God punish the foul souls bringing charges against you! There is a higher law than man made law, and you are upon that law. God bless you and keep you._”. Abhorrent behavior…
God damn, I wish I didn’t have morals and a conscience… With my knowledge of religion and the scriptures I could be making BANK milking the gullible.
This is my same struggle every day having been raised in a preacher’s home.
Reading the Bible is what turned me into an atheist
Loving the bible makes you christian.
reading the bible makes you athiest.
Same.
FYI: Israelites are a branch of Canaanites, El is a Canaanitic god, and The Exodus lacks evidence from ever happening.
That was absolutely wild to learn as ex-Christian. Also, the social hole you fall into as you leave Christianity is pretty terrifying, but you’ll eventually learn to deal with it.
Psalms 137:9 is my favorite verse.
Hmm I looked it up and apparently one has to be careful with interpreting this. It’s not really about being happy to dash infants against rocks. It’s simply a call for the destruction of the entire nation of people. It’s really about justice! And that’s a good thing! /s
Those babies deserved it, and if they didn’t they’re going to heaven anyway, so really it’s a mercykill.
Anway, love thy neighbors!
Same. And the ultimate irony is that the values I used to determine that the Bible is a fucked up book that I want nothing to do with, are the same values that my uber-Christian parents instilled in me, and then lost at some point along the way.
YOU MADE ME LIKE THIS
Yep. I have had these same thoughts. Start a business. Any business. Slap “Christian” in the name. Profit.
I really liked the one where somebody was prepared to buy people’s worldly goods and look after them in the event of the rapture.
It’s a great scam because it literally cannot go wrong. If it turns out they were right and the rapture happens you still don’t have to deal with all the junk and otherwise you can sell it back to them for a profit.
I like the after rapture pet insurance.
Pay me today, and I’ll totally feed your dog after you’ve ascended to heaven.
Peter 2:13-17
Be subject for the Lord’s sake to every human institution, whether it be to the emperor as supreme, or to governors as sent by him to punish those who do evil and to praise those who do good. For this is the will of God, that by doing good you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish people. Live as people who are free, not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but living as servants of God. Honor everyone. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the emperor.
Sooo yeah “God is a higher authority you need not heed” is more like government is the official middle management. Obey the management.
They can’t even write a coherent sentence. “You are upon that law”? The fuck?
Is 116.00 supposed to be like 116,000? Must have shot up since the article was published then?
French people switch
.and,for whatever reason.Lots of the world does. It’s ok as long as we all put the correct number of digits after the period or comma.
The correct number of zeros was my question tbh
In parts of (most of?) Europe they use commas where we in the US use decimals in numbers.
