The Bible says the exact opposite, saying you shouldn’t be a hard person, but God will turn you into a soft one. Religious people are so stupid sometimes.
Unless you're Job. Fuck that guy and his herd animals and wives.
Don’t forget all his dead kids
God is such a prankster XD
Some transitions encourage us to be "meek" as well.
Sometimes?
Shhh I was trying to be nice
The show Scrubs sort of changed my perspective on this. Religion has its place as a thing for people to grab on to in order to give them the strength to make it to the next day.
The problem comes when religion is used to oppress others.
Can you connect the dots? How did Scrubs demonstrate this?
JD and Turks cryptohomo relationship taught me it’s ok to truly love another man, but how did the show change your perspective on the utility of religion?
Just curious.
I was gonna say "It's kinda a prereq"
You think these people read the Bible?
It’s very selective. They know Bible stories from Sunday school and have been told a few passages.
It’s a really complicated anthology of books written across 1000ish years (earliest being fragmentary bits of poetry preserved in altered context, most of it being 400 BCE on). Tons of it is related to distant political struggles or cultural norms, stuff so hopelessly distant from us and written in hard to understand language (especially with this KJV only-ists.)
Then, you add 2000 years of history, pop culture, and interpretation. It’s a really difficult text and it’s difficult for anyone to understand without getting a lot of support and context. The context is often presented in a misleading way, pick your denomination and flavor of distortion
No need for the qualifier. Religion is dumb.
