Thanks to the bigoted, racist “Christians” in the Instagram comments, they helped me solidify that Christianity isn’t healthy for me so now I tarot read and I have a collection of witchcraft books instead. It’s so much better for my mental and emotional wellbeing.

Or American christians. 🤦🏻‍♀️

A whole lot of those men were gay.

It does seem to me that religions are about people refusing to accept that they won't live forever (even if all other living things have a finite lifespan). Who knows, they may be right. Those who take quiet comfort in that belief are not a problem. Those who weaponise their belief certainly are.

🙄

Yep!

🤣

I refer to them as Ancient Middle Eastern Faerie Tales. I like that spelling because it make it even more mythical. The entire world needs to #ApostatiseNOW!

the condensed version

Yes. The Upanishads were the product of many authors. Buddhist scripture is even more diverse, as well as Islamic hadith, though al-Quran itself is the record of one man’s dictation.

...so you can see the light.

.. with color photos! 😜

👍👍👍👍

And followed by 2 billion Christians. Add the Muslims and Jews and no wonder the world has gone to shit

That's one theory. 😁

And edited so many times, the original text was lost completely

I kinda wish we could rip out what Paul wrote 😆

Worst game of post office ever...

Don't forget the editors...

Was that on Didney? I can’t remember now

Pretty sure there are no quotes of Jesus saying anything like this. But to be fair, Jesus didn't write any of it.

At least among the apocryphal parts of the Old Testament there’s a “Book Judith”. It’s a sex-and-crime story about the beheading of a hostile general by a woman in order to save her city from capture. Very 1940ish, in a way. (And probably also written by men.)

Would women have put somehing like “and subdue the world” into writing?

MEN 'authors'

Yeah, the 40 relies on traditional authorship. It's really far more, but over significantly less time. Probably closer to 800 years, with the incorporation of some older poetic fragments. And most likely only on two continents, unless some of the New Testament was written in Egypt

And translated by someone who read someone else’s transcript which was translated by someone else who read someone else’s transcript which was translated by someone else who read someone else’s transcript which was translated by someone else who read someone else’s transcript which…

As I always tell people, it’s just a fairytale that got a bit out of hand.

Sure, accept, “Aside from early structural trims, the text of Romans did not undergo major rewrites or theological doctoring. What you read today reflects the exact message Paul dictated from a house in Corinth nearly 2,000 years ago.”

Considering the original subject only committed to writing the Ten Commandments … the rest is here say, folklore, he said she said, selective storytelling and contrived moralistic fabrication.

Yeah but you have a brain in your head and understand what's going on. Some folks don't.

Jesus turned water into wine. I turned wine into hangovers

Say what you like, of the 2 most influential USA citizens I prefer Pope Leo to Donald Trump.

‘Blasphemy’, like the ‘Holy Spirit’, is not a thing in the adult world of joined-up thinking! Superstitious nonsense!

Bingo

The entire story falls over at the first hurdle in Genesis when light is created without a source which any scientist can tell you is physically impossible. Let us not gloss over the physical threats of violence for non compliance either which proves believers to be nothing but pure EVIL!!

By men

Well, there was Sodom and Gomorrah.

The 1st few lines are relevant & must be followed. PLANT-BASED LAW (The Word is beyond the senses: is not written, spoken or physical. Vibration, Resounding Consciousness. We & Everything are this Consciousnss. It is within us & can be journeyed upon via correct meditation) Scholars know the edits

My first year of high school, I had to take Theology, and the teacher showed us paragraphs in the Bible where two completely different narratives were just stitched together. Everyone knew those were just stories.

🤣

The inspiration for the Faux News channel.

And copied and recopied, with scribes helpfully assuming everything they didn't understand must be an error, and "correcting" it to what they guessed it should have been.

The Jefferson Bible makes more sense. It’s also much easier to carry, being quite small after Thomas removed the parts that didn’t make sense.

Y'all know that the entire bible was written by Jewish men, right?

Just in case this wasn’t posted here…

Written exclusively by men to control people. You wont see The Gospel according to Kate in here

But it's a money maker.

The slave owners manual

king james . was that one of the catholic church's revisions?

Koine Greek, the predominate language of the apostolic period, hadn't been spoken for a thousand years by the time the King James Bible was translated. Being divinely inspired, the translation was perfect, word for word.😆

Kinda makes it more interesting now... lol

Sooooo...God is a committee? (an animal with sixteen legs and no brains)

Greed, Religion and stupidity is destroying the world !!! All religions are cults !!! All religions groom from birth !!!

Thank you, Karen.

💥💯

Lately I've been on a kick to get people to think about the real history of the bible as opposed to thinking of the bible as an accurate historical account. It's about time these bible thumpers REALLY learned about their religion and just didn't take their pastor's word for it.

I’ve believed that for many years!!! Also rewritten by men with an agenda!!!

Afuckingmen 🙏

But every word is either inspired by god or was handed down word for word via facsimile 🙄

Creepy story

AKA "Gullible's Travels"

And interviews highlighted in red!

I mean I fuck with, like, Job. I fuck with Qoheleth and Ecclesiastes.

Exactly 👍

People are entitled for their opinions. But I read my Bible. I believe in what it says. The old testament is more of historical accounts. The new testament is for my salvation. I am a democrat, a believer, a freedom lover, love human kind. #Dignity for all #Americans whether they believe or not.

revised king james version

Bible literalists and young-Earth creationists put a lot of store in the idea that 'Evolutionism' is nothing more than a competing religion, and biologists are its priests.

More grim than Grimm, those bible stories. ~Shudder~

Two continents really, and only about eight hundred years.

And nowhere near as interesting or creative as the Mahabharata

Something for everyone! And I do mean everyone.

over and over again ... and again ... and yesterday

This thread should be read by anyone who considers themselves a Christian, a Muslim, a Mormon, a Jew, a Scientologist, and all those religions I haven’t mentioned.

It's got some pretty crazy mythos.

Yeah, but still...

All religions are male constructs designed to subjugate women.

So do you have the same opinion about the Quran and the Torah because if so then pop those up as memes too.

Religion is the worst plague ever invented

And translated by people who had their own agenda

Who wrote the first part of the bible, man did not start writing until a good way through the bible?

and there's this one story that the carpenter guy died but came back to life later. you know they made up that one because 2000 years ago it was always the women who played the central role in important myths. you know how those jewish men were.

✅✅✅✅✅

narcissistic personality disorder

That's what I've been telling people. It can't ALL be wrong!!!! P.S. How exactly do you go about 'not tolerating' any form of bigotry? Might wanna think about that one.

Are you another non Jew that has no idea what the Old Testament means?

a game of telephone

yeah, at least, now add in all the translations and review how the 'telephone game' works
