I have never sinned

I have never sinned - Lemmy.World

It is freeing to recognize that I have never sinned and it pissed Christians off when I say this. To clarify, in Christianity sin is not simply “the bad things we do” it is specifically an offense against god. God does not exists so i have never sinned against him. I’ve been an atheist for for 16 years but it was only recently that I realized this distinction. It short-circuits the guilt based evangelism. It forces the christian to first demonstrate that god exists before they can convince me I have sinned and need to be saved from that sin. And to say the least, they are ill equipped to demonstrate the existence of god.

The Bible proves God is real, and God wrote the Bible, which proves he’s real because he wrote it.

I know you’re illustrating the circular logic at play here. But don’t these people ask how the words got onto paper? Like didn’t Yahweh need a scribe and a printing press or something? And which version did he write anyway? The ancient Greek one? The King James version from well over a millennium later? The modern one used at their local church?

god’s version was like a shitty draft of short stories and some people made a really terrible translation of it and tried to tie it all together in the same universe

Like how Nintendo tries to say the Zelda series is cohesive, lol

(Except Zelda is amazing, imo)

Hey, if you take out all of the preachy bullshit, the Bible has a lot of pretty amazing stories too. The entire world drowns except for one family and a boat full of animals. A lady turns into a pillar of salt. A group of people try to build a tower, but can’t finish it because suddenly everyone speaks a different language. That’s just in the first chapter.

So maybe we can look at the Bible as someone playing Zelda games, but really badly.
