  • Easy, because most people do. Be it by indoctrination of their children, justification of atrocities, or by feeling self righteous, it is almost always a tool of coercion.

    And people who think they’re above of it all, and who think their lukewarm faith is the answer, are disgusting to the creature they claim to serve, as per the Book of Revelation, chapter 3, verses 15-16.



  • Personally, because I take offense at anyone who proudly worships the creature who killed tons of babies and kids, just for being the firstborn of a culture and not taking in the religion of another group just for being the correct one, imposing rules on a whim and turning those who failed into salt, testing faith by asking someone to kill their child, burning up cities because it disagreed with with how some of the people in it lived, and many other atrocities.

    But more to the point, because I think it is disgusting to worship a creature so powerful and stubborn that after so much interference, now allegedly just says “I’m a hands off parent now, I don’t care if you poke your eye out, commit Holocaust or poison and kill men, women and children by pretending to be acting in my name, I’ll just judge you after you die, k, tks, bye”

    You claim to be against the sins that form the basis of your religion, and I respect that, but one can’t turn a blind eye to what the scriptures say.

    But seriously, it is far easier being on the outside, pointing and casting blame, but for us old enough to remember all the people who were blackballed, run out of the business, and even murdered for exposing sexual abuse, it is hard to tell.

    And on top of that, there are cases where a third party has exposed the abuse, to which both the victim and perpetrator deny the accusations, and it just ends up terribly for the whistleblower.

    Yet, back to the point, we’re on reddit lemmy, where nuance goes to die.
