Lanky_Pomegranate530Is true. Just open the bible.
Oh how many of them would abandon the faith if they had actually read the damned book and realized how lefty Jesus comes across as, although it’s worth reminding that he would technically be classified as an absolute monarchist by present definitions, seeing his emergence coinciding with the backlash against Rome just blowing the Judean throne up in favor of riling the place directly after the jews kept getting “unruly”
Reading and studying the bible (and not listening to apologists), is how atheists are made.
Not always, sometimes it results in oddballs who end up founding a new denomination or being the figure of admiration when some grifter founds a denomination in their supposed image.
Really the sheer number of protestant denominations should be held up in literature classes to teach just how many interpretations to a single text can be determined just from how different people read the same passages.
What’s so funny about this shit, is my protestant atheist reading of the Bible explicitly denounces sola scriptural interpretation. The Bible was put together by church councils and was explicit that it wasn’t the prime authority of Christian tradition. For Christ sakes most of the new testament is just Paul writing about how the church hierarchy should be run.
