Zororo hasn't stopped the souls coming in to obliterate.
Must be the highlight of it's day.

Pretty much the reverse of this:

Probably they would've killed him for being heretic and meet god again in a short time.

Nah, Sithrak's followers are chill, they know eternal torment awaits everyone eventually, there's no rush; they just spread the horrid word, no need to implement it themselves.

The Christian god eats souls. The more chaste you are during life, the more energy he obtains. That's why he started the religion.

The light you see after death is like an angler fish, guiding you to your consumption.

The great seals are probably all still in place, and Gallowspire was definitely still there a few decades ago. It's probably fine...

Matthew 28:18-20

And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

Stop trying to pander your beliefs towards atheists and unbelievers who want nothing to do with God. They aren't our authority

Good works apart from faith don't make you saved.

Ephesians 2:8-9

For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.

It's not being a good person that saves you.

Acts 16:31

And they said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.”

Matthew 7:22-23

On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’

James 2:18-22

But someone will say, “You have faith and I have works.” Show me your faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe—and shudder! Do you want to be shown, you foolish person, that faith apart from works is useless? Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up his son Isaac on the altar? You see that faith was active along with his works, and faith was completed by his works;

What love is it to let someone wander into Hell? That's not loving at all! Yes, we should be good people and do good and show our faith by it, and share our faith in a calm and respectful manner- not soapboxing on a street. But we should still share our faith.

Matthew 5:18. You better not be wearing any mixed fabric right now you heathen.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Well that's good i guess. Most people dont view Christianity that way though. Most Christians think its their job to spread Christianity far and wide, and therein lies the problem.

No, its the spreading of the word. I grew up christian, my partner grew up Catholic. You're not telling me anything I dont already know.

It's a book, a collection of stories written second and third hand by a bunch of guys who lived thousands of years ago, and then rewritten by the catholic church, and many others to suit their needs. You're not going to convince me that it was misinterpreted. I dont even know why we are having this conversation honestly. You can keep your faith, thats fine. I dont want, nor do I feel the need to share it.

Books are where it's at!

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

The Christian god tells his followers to push the religion onto as many as possible and punish those who don't believe.

Source: history and current events.

If god wanted his followers to believe quietly, he'd have written his book differently. I have to assume, since he's perfect and all knowing, that the outcome was the goal. Otherwise he's a HUGE screw up.

Yes yes, free will. But god knows about free will, and still chose to write the book the way he did. So he intended the outcome that exists.

^1^ Take care not to practice your righteousness in the sight of people, to be noticed by them; otherwise you have no reward with your Father who is in heaven.

^2^ So when you give to the poor, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, so that they will be praised by people. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full. ^3^ But when you give to the poor, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, ^4^ so that your charitable giving will be in secret; and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you.

^5^ And when you pray, you are not to be like the hypocrites; for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and on the street corners so that they will be seen by people. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full. ^6^ But as for you, when you pray, go into your inner room, close your door, and pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you

—Matthew 6:1–6

There are some rather stark differences between the old and new testament depictions of God. The only two ways to reconcile the differences imo are that either Jesus led a pretty standard major-religion-themed-psychedelic-"love"-cult or that the Gnostics were on to something about this reality being a prison created by a divine abomination and that Jesus was trying to save us from the OT "God".

Al hail the great ZORORO

May they blast me into sweet oblivion of nothingness as soon as I die, existence isn't for me.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

"Wait so I'm being judged for being too meta?"

"It's not a sin, but I will judge you for it."

"Some shitty little middle management bitch is going to judge me?"

"...Fuck you, die." Zaps into oblivion
