“I am hee hee” - Michael Jackson
😂😂
This is in poor taste… What does that say about me for laughing at it?
silly? sure… poor taste? idk, this is c/facepalm, not some theology discussion forum
Trust me, it can always become a theological discussion forum.
Why is it in poor taste?
Fuck you and take my upvote
In the near-future the Bible will be banned for spreading “Socialist Values” and being “Too Woke”
Eh, I’m fine with it. The death of Christianity will be a net good for humanity, so I’ll take whatever gets us closer to that.
All three Abrahamic religions need to die.
Have you seen the kinds of cultish grifts New Agers AND New Atheists alike have been on? Nature abhors a vaccuum.
Just saying I don’t want the Spirit Science guy calling the shots on major holidays
None of our major holidays are at all related to Abrahamic religions. Easter is still named for the ancient fertility goddess whose festival it was before it was reskinned as Christian. Christmas takes the pan-european mid winter festival and paints a star on it. The pre-christian Romans held the festival of Sol Invictus (the invincible sun) on December 25th. Christmas trees were a pre-christian tradition in and around modern Germany
There would be massive social pressure to not change holidays
Wasn’t the Easter = Ishtar connection debunked? The rest of that is pretty legit though
I’m talking the link between Easter and the Celtic goddess named Eastre
Edit to add the link more about the name: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_of_Easter
Summary: Latin languages, their local words for Passover; Germanic language, their local name for their fertility deity — Eastre in old English, Easter now
Ah that
I think a school in Texas already did that to troll all of the “Christian parents caring about traditional values”.
If evangelicals could read, they would be very upset at your comment.
Conservapedia was rewritting the bible… its very christian of them.
Wait, what?
Didn’t that get taken over by others and turned into self-parody?
I think it’s actually in the project 2025 list of books to ban.
I’m not necessarily against this idea.
Most of it’s pretty oppressive. They just need to take out the stuff Jesus said to eliminate all the wokeness.
The churches back in the day, before Martin Luther’s reforms, before the Bible could be printed in local languages, very much enjoyed their complete monopoly on the Word of God
They could say whatever they wanted
I suspect a successful ban of the Bible would give them that back.
Though it would be impossible to actually ban and all a ban could do is make the book more desirable to read. It might push people towards the online annotated, hyperlinked editions of the book such as the skeptic’s annotated Bible
They must have amnesia. They forgot that I’m HIM.
Flipped a whole brick into an empire, stop playing with me.
I was flippin’ bricks for Mansa Musa back before y’all were even a type 1 civilization
This SHIT ain’t NOTHI’N to me, man.
And even if Jesus didn’t, who gives a flying fuck?

Yeah, I dream of having this whole debate behind us, and it will look as weird to people as having religion in our ID like they had it in the 30s looks to us now.
You know, they never stopped you from calling everyone ‘they/them’ and using their name

damn
That actually makes a lot of sense. Scientists believe the Big Bang created the vast majority of the universe’s helium.
Not only did Jesus use pronouns, but tradition dictates that we go so far as to capitalize His pronouns.
I love a good double whoosh lmao.
“I am he” is more like God manifesting through a human body, than saying the current meaning.
Several translations later…
HIMself…
