A collection of writing that bid you to credulously accept as literal fact their claims or suffer incessant torture in the afterlife the likes of which man can not conceive. A collection of writings, if I might add, that are littered throughout with such absurdities.
Pic related is another one.

There are only like 2 billion Christians, and I doubt even half of them are Biblical literalists. Most of the Christians I know take the useful doctrine and interpret all the miracles and such as metaphors or ways to give the text clout in the ancient world. That includes people who have been to seminary and are very devout.

Like yeah, it's fucked up that people have been killed because of Christianity (either for disbelieving or believing). But this isn't a problem that's exclusive Christianity, or Abrahamic religions. There are Buddhist militias killing Muslims in Sri Lanka and Myanmar for fuck's sake. Mild, pacifist Buddhism has crusaders.

>>11655629
Conventional Christian doctrine teaches that the Bible is inspired of God and is free of all errors. The argument made was that the Bible contains absurdities and therefore shouldn't be taken as the inspired word of God. Bringing up the beliefs of nominal Christians is utterly irrelevant to this discussion.

Itt. Another episodd of lefties critiquing christianity as if it was the only religion now or ever to exist.

>"im an atheist. There are thousands of religions. To think yours alone is correct is stupid. But im just gunna insilt yours alone. Cuz i respect everyone elses"

Sounds like a classic case of marxian jewish brainwashing.

>>11656961
people generally attack things they want to differentiate themselves from. we must then ask, why would athiests want to differentiate themselves from christians, specifically fundamentalist christians who are most commonly attacked. The answer is of course because athiests are midwitted, state school (or even community college) mediocre faggots.
