Thanks Christians, you can shove that bible right up your collective asses.

Just because it’s not spelled out, doesn’t mean it’s not there. Critique made without a genuine effort to understand the cultural and historical context isn’t worth much.

Very first commandment (as summarized by Jesus) is “Love the Lord your God.” Combine that with the mandate to Adam and Eve to care for God’s creation, and the core tenant of Judaism that loving God implies obedience, and the concept of respecting that of his creation which bears his image becomes immediately obvious.

I don’t give a shit about cultural and historical significance, when today is what counts, and the leaders and oligarchs in charge that supposedly believe in Christian faith are actively committing genocide, bombing schools of children, and they’re entangled in a pedo ring…

If this is what the Bible is all about, ‘fOrgIVe mE faThER fOr i haVe sinNeD’ is all about, then fuckit, burn the bible and start a new belief system that actually makes sense and respects people in general, rather than abusing and killing them en masse and destroying the ‘holy land’.

What’s holy about the land anyways, ancient history, or the bomb craters today?

Sorry, Jesus ain’t coming back to save anyone, people need to put down their arms and go home to serve and protect their families.

Fuckall with war in the name of the invisible man in the sky.

One could say that’s what the New Testament is, and Jesus put a lot of focus on loving others. The two commandments, which the ten are built upon, is pretty comprehensive. But don’t worry, people will find a way to excuse bad behavior if they really want to do it. If it isn’t religion, it will be nationalism, race, culture, which direction the bill of your cap faces, or if the color of your socks match.

My cap always faces forward, as designed to be used, to block sunlight from the eyes. But wait, my socks are different lengths and one is lighter than the other?

Fuck, RUN!!!

The true heathens are the people with their cap on backwards, shading their eyes from the sun with their hands.

Oof, yeah you got a point there, I’ll never understand that.

The only time I tilt my cap is to follow and block the sunlight wherever I happen to be sitting. Backwards is never the answer.
