    That’s my story. I mean, it really is boring stuff told in the most bland way possible.

      but the problem is the Old Testament treats people terribly, where enemies of god are tortured and killed, compared to the new testament which preaches freedom, honesty, empathy, and generosity.

        Erm… it preaches being “slaves for Christ”, with very few safeguards on what are good boundaries for leaders to have over you. I agree on the ideals, but the power dynamics also “treat people terribly”

          Yeah that’s how religions work, they’re all ass. My statement was not a claim that Christianity was good or justified, it was that the Old Testament was particularly more ass than the new one.

      Yeah I pretty much only got past Adam and Eve

      What sucks is I’m actually really interested in the more like meta physical side of Christianity like biblically accurate angels and stuff but no body talks about the actually cool stuff

      I am atheist tho, I’m just really interested in religion as a concept
