“paint said "It is such a comforting thought, to think that someone died for your terrible sins”
This is comforting? I’m headed to hell for things other people did?
And for things that came naturally to me, but offend an invisible judge I’ve never seen?
This is not comforting, this is a paranoid fantasy.
“and that all you need to do is have "faith" and you will be "saved".”
Yes, accept that this secret police system is just, for no reason but that some pretty fucked-up people TELL me it’s just, and it’s real?
The same salesman who tells me I NEED saving just happens to be my best connection to salvation. Nothing suspicious there…
"You don't have to lift a finger!”
Having faith in this bullshit story is more than a finger being lifted.
And then there’s the tithing….
“Not only that, you will have eternal life and be in heaven seated next to a father figure who now extends his unconditional love and approval to you, and his other children."
His unconditional love once I meet the terms and conditions?
Do you not KNOW what the word means?
“And don't forget all the perks! Like a personal relationship with our Creator while we're here on earth.”
This is a perk?
“And the humility of discoving how far short we fall from His holiness and grace,”
Low self esteem is a PERK?
Who taught you English, Elmo?
“yet receiving more and more grace anyway.”
Yeah, but if something sounds too good to be real, it usually is…
“And where we ask Him for help and guidance and He responds.”
Holocaust. Witch trials. Every single day of teh calendar being an anniversary of a mass shooting… His responses are for shit.
“And, and! Knowing that we can do anything we want to do. And wanting to do it HIS way.”
No. Other way around. I’ve watched you fuckers. Every single Christain is sure that God wants what they want and hates what they hate. And none of you agree completely.
“Yep. Pretty cool.”
Pretty self-serving.
