"God fearing" has always struck me as a ridiculous statement. It's supposed to be a positive, like, that person respected God. No. Jesus preached of a loving God. He was delusional, apocalyptic, and a product of his time and circumstances, but he said his god loved everyone. Throw that tired shit away.

[–] FlyingSquid 42 points 2 months ago (3 children)

You're thinking New Testament God.

Old Testament God is a big mean motherfucker and he will fuck you up unless you follow his very strict rules. In fact, he won't just fuck you up, he will fuck up your entire tribe collectively because you didn't follow the rules.

Largely because he wasn't the only God kicking around. Jehovah was originally just another local deity, but he beat up the others. You really were supposed to be afraid of the awesome power your god wielded. Ties back to the language of "you shall have no other gods before Me" - they were around, and they were real, but Jehovah was the baddest of them all.

Moses didn't try to convince the Egyptians to worship Jehovah, he tried to make them scared of Jehovah.

I like how the Egyptians considered the Israelite god to be an evil spiteful desert war God that lied about how his people were treated.

There's zero evidence that they were enslaved by the Egyptians and then revolted. But thanks to one king and centuries of retoric, here we are.

[–] FlyingSquid 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

The funny thing is that they were enslaved by the Babylonians. And they did wander through the desert back to their homeland once they were freed. A much bigger desert.

Because if it took them 40 years to cross the Sinai, something was seriously wrong.

So my guess is that at some point, some Hebrew King was like, "you know what? I like the Persians. They run Babylon now. And FUCK THOSE EGYPTIAN MOTHERFUCKERS! We're changing the story!" And since the King was the voice of Yaweh on Earth, now they were freed from Egypt.

I propose a new cinematic universe, and/or game series of wrestling matches between the gods.

He'll also spontaneously change the rules at anytime and then kill your family.

"God fearing" is a train of thought for a reason.

okay but without fear isn't there no morality? and, like, if nobody's suffering, is there really such a thing as justice? if there's not at least one child in a basement being tortured and treated like dirt, can you even call it a society? I mean, obviously the optimal number of people being horrible tortured in society is "everyone but me, in the sickest ways I can imagine", but, y'know, progress is progress

"We will be GLAD to return when Christians & Those who fear God and HATE evil! Thank ------ You,"

... yeah, that seems about right.

[–] [email protected] 45 points 2 months ago (8 children)

I mean. The actuall complaint is to early and Ill agree with that part. I don't like holidays starting up more than a month before. october for holloween, november for thanksgiving, december for christmass, march for saint pats, febuary for valentines and whenever for easter if it can get its act together. Ill give that an exception as mardi gras is its own thing. Oh but if its fireworks can we keep those to just the day of and maybe before and after but we don't need a week of it. blah blah. man yells at cloud.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You can bet they don't mind Christmas decoration is up 4 months before Christmas though.

I'm impressed the people of Tulsa put aside their differences to issue this joint statement

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

Lived near there once. It was truly amazing to see how unified the entire populus was. Nobody ever got into fights over anything, and there certainly weren't any stabbings at a bar in town while I was there.

I just love the idea that their almighty god can be defeated with cheap chinese plastic decorations at the dollar store.

[–] FlyingSquid 13 points 2 months ago

It's amazing how many things hurt the omnipotent being they worship. The words "happy holidays," red cups, plastic Halloween decorations in July...

I mean, I cant say I disagree with the irrational rage of holiday creep. seeing Christmas shit out in october, and halloween shit out in July/August is infuriating.

Far better ways to to approach it than this ridiculous satanic panic and other myriad religious bullshit, though.

"the majority"...you keep using that word....

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago

People like this usually aren't smart or sane enough to understand perspective. They think everyone thinks the way they do and can't fathom otherwise.

I guess they aren't aware that Big Lots starts putting up Christmas stuff at the beginning of October.

When a minority of people think they are the majority. Fewer trash like them every year.

Have the courage to stand by your convictions and print a return address.

Fucking hell, evangelical freaks fear God too?? Is their entire day just fear 24/7? Afraid of gays, afraid of trans, afraid of communism?! afraid of socialism, afraid of Muslims...

What an awful existence...

[–] nickiwest 9 points 2 months ago

Yes. Fear is the basis of Christian fundamentalism, and it has become a super convenient way for the Republican party to keep them in line.

When fear is the baseline for your worldview, you see boogeymen around every corner.

Fuck these people. Last year they were playing Christmas carols BEFORE halloween. It’s nauseating.

3b. Christians & Those who fear God and HATE evil!

Should we... should we tell them that it's originally a Christian holiday?

Uh, Big Lots is closing all of their stores in October. Guess they won.

Hi, I understand you used to be the head warlock?

[–] carl_dungeon 15 points 2 months ago

I agree with the holiday items coming out wayyyy to early and was on board with this person at first… then I realized they’re a delusional fundie and it makes me want to buy extra Halloween stuff just out of spite.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago

3b give me a verb!

[–] BonesOfTheMoon 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I half agree with Halloween stuff not being up in October, not that I care about Halloween as a holiday, but at least wait until September.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Halloween is now a huge cash cow, it’s quietly become the holiday that people spend the most on decorations. So I don’t really blame them.

  1. c. If you are not sure how evil this "holiday" is:

i. Talk to John Ramirez: ex - Top warlock of NYC

If he's a honest to ~~god~~ tchutchulhu warlock that does real magic, I will talk to him and ask to be an apprentice :D

ii. Talk to the Police. All the WICKEDNESS!

I don't think The Police will reply back, they're probably busy with a tour.

iii. Increase: murder, child abuse, worship of satan!

Uh, I guess I can do those, but you really should've asked with a "pretty please".

[–] nickiwest 8 points 2 months ago (2 children)

From John Ramirez' website:

John Ramirez is one of those miracles with a transformed life through the finished work of the cross. He recounts his former life of being trained as a high-ranking devil worshipper warlock for 25 years of his life. He lived in the dark side in the highest realms of the demonic, specifically Santeria, Spiritualism and Palo Mayombe. In 1999, John passed away in his apartment in the Bronx, went to hell and met the devil and the cross of Jesus Christ. He was put back in his body the same night and became a born-again believer. He overcame the Kingdom of Darkness and has spent the latter part of his life being a fierce warrior for Jesus, uncompromised, preaching the gospel to the nations and setting the captives free.

Yup. Sounds like a reliable, unbiased source.
