>there is a great big man in the sky who will hurt you real bad if you don't believe there is a great big man in the sky
People unironically believe this?

Amaterasu loves you. I hope She opens your heart.

>>17829461 (OP)

Jesus loves you.

>>17829506
Jesus died 2000 years ago

>>17829506
If he did, he wouldn't throw me into magic lava for not believing he exists.

>>17829461 (OP)
Yes, God created you, didn't clearly reveal his existence to you, and will punish you eternally if you have some skepticism. Problem, chud?

You could not have selected a better picrel for an atrocious oversimplification of faith. Dawkins, as brilliant as he is in evolutionary biology, is a complete joke in scholarly circles when it comes to religion, philosophy, anthropology and the like. To put it in context, he is at least two tiers below Jordan "Lobsters" Peterson, which was among other things somewhat apparent in their more recent debate. Even Alex O'Connor was attempting to subtly explain to Dawkins what the religious concepts were that Peterson was talking about, but Dawkins seemingly didn't budge.

>there is a great big man
He’s god not a man, you can conceptualize a man. You can’t conceptualize god and you’re foolish to believe you can. You’re like an ant trying to understand macroeconomics.

there's a reason why this entire religion based on narcissistic abuse only took off because they threatened killing people who didn't convert

>>17830353
But that’s not how early Christianity spread at all

>forgive one another
>love one another as yourself
>>>>> religion based on narcissistic abuse
Might it be the eye of the beholder that's the issue?

It was a minor irrelevant cult before Rome enforced it by the sword.

>>17830365
Part of narcissism is playing victim and performative niceness.

The jews know everything about that.

People keep saying Jesus is the most humble man that ever existed but he called non jews dogs and threatened torture to people who didn't obey him as god.

>>17830373
>>Forgive one another
>>love one another
>playing the victim
Could you elaborate how either one of those translate to playing the victim?

>performative niceness
>[lists examples which disprove niceness]
That was quick. Love isn't niceness.

>>17830373
It was the largest cult in the largest empire in the world before Rome adopted it. It really wasn’t enforced by sword until the Middle Ages

>>17830387
It was 10% of the population

>>17830389
Largest cult still

>>17830386
>performative niceness

Do you think cults immediately abuse you? Nope they're gonna pretend they're your family at first lol

>>17830387
Read the image

Pagans were exiled/killed/property confiscated if they didn't judaized themselves

>>17830406
That image isn’t history though why would i take a random comic as fact? Is this really how you get your opinions?

>>17830401
Jesus said it to a woman who wasn't even Christian. You read "love", brought up "performative niceness" and ever since then you're giving one example after another why that was the wrong thing to bring up.

>>17830410
Are you denying that isn't what happened?

Pagan rome destroyed Israel and its temple

Christian rome collapsed

Europeans and white people going back to our indigenous religions. This is a good thing because Christianity is false.

>>17830406
>Rome converts to Christianity
>a few centuries later
>europe has conquered the known world
Wow
