[quote=outtamojo][quote=scaredyclassic]I may be dark, but the Bible is wayyyyy darker. Jesus is,supposed to be the fun part, but the bottom line is believe in him or spend all of time in hell. that seems…kind of a bummer
Abraham kicks ass. doesnt it seem like G-d kind of wants us to stand up to him, pipe up, not just sit there and take it?
maybe He can overreact a bit….and we need to calm him down. like me.[/quote]
What kind of person would be able to fully enjoy themselves in Heaven knowing that the other half of humanity, even people they knew or cared about was being tortured in Hell?[/quote]
people who possess and think and worry about money a lot, i.e., rich people, aren’t likely getting into heaven anyway.
wait….thats us….
i see no moral force. Abraham wanted to kill isaac because that’s how the video game played out, because he was a psychotic abusive dad. similarly, even if i heard the actual voice of G-d, and i knew for sure it wasnt just me being delusional, i would not sacrifice my son. because even if He exists, and he has an inscrutable plan, and he created me, I do NOT GIVE A SHIT, when he is just playing games with me, “testing” me. fuck you, Mr creator and your tests, and all the other patriarchal testing bullies out there in the real and virtual world, whether you’re the programmer of this world we think we inhabit, a military recruiter, a scammy preacher, a politician, Jesus or a fellow human.
the game runs and we try to pretend there is a moral narrative but it is like replaying a round of Grand Theft Auto and trying to find a moral message there where nothing but a meaningless unfurling of events possible within the rules unfolds.
I guess in the same way thato an evangelist gets pleasure from bringing someone to Christ, i get an equal inverse pleasure in the opposite possibility. I’m like a missionary for our utter aloneness in the universe.
I’m pretty sure I need therapy for this.
the isdue has to do with a general sense that I’m an idiot who believed certain lies. pretty sure this,anger has nothing really to do w religion.
