Found the guy who needs a sky daddy to tell him not to be a bad person.
as somebody who used to be a christian and also well aware of the loveual abuse, it's really unfair to compare somebody like me to somebody who sees a position of power they can abuse. this exact thing is commonly found with teachers too. lot of child enthusiast teachers, but you understand why that is. it's the same reasoning for the church.
the average christian i met genuinely wanted the death sentence for those types of people, drawing the line to the biblical punishment for child abuse of drowning them to death. christian philosophy is genuinely amazing and does wonders if you approach it right, i started off intolerant and hateful (using religion as a cover for this) and through the bible i grew into someone who is considerably more understanding and open to other perspectives.
crazy what actually reading your holy text does doesn't it? next time you see a self-proclaimed christian and they spew any hatred, they don't represent the faith or philosophy. there's no need to go around mockingly saying "sky daddy" if you know thisthe bible isn't just saying "don't be bad", it goes into the specifics of how you can really embody "don't be bad". would you say that same thing to an african or a latino who may otherwise have entered a life of violence, gangs, drugs, and crimes due to their circumstances, but was brought out of it through religion? through a "sky daddy"? don't let prejudice get in your way
