What would happen if they did it with Islam? The same mental illness but instead with more violence.
I mean south park had to take an episode down making fun of Islam because of death threats.
I don't seem to recall them having to do it for any of the countless episodes (rightfully) making fun of Christianity. So there's definitely something differnt going on there.
My thing is though if these Almighty gods (or the almighty god depending on who you ask) really didn't like to be made fun of couldn't they just, you know, take care of that?
I mean hey man one fiery head in the sky speaking demands for like, 20 seconds of time is all it would take. Boom. Suddenly everyone is on the same page.
But nah, god is a trickster and wants to make you pass tests for his amusement like a rat in a lab. Difference being the almighty god of course knows the results of the test anyway so really just makes you do it for his own enjoyment.
Religion is a disease. It deserves to be made fun of.
They will take care of it. The Lord laughs at the wicked, for He knows their day is coming.
Also the fiery demands thing won't work, as God was literally leading the Israelites out of Egypt like that, then Moses was like "I'm gonna climb this mountain, don't worship false gods when I'm gone" and guess what they did
Again, I don't know what tests you are talking about - you aren't saved by your works but by a relationship with Christ alone.
If it's okay to make fun of diseases, then you're opening a can of worms here.
sure I know the story of that book humans wrote and what it says and I'm telling you that's wrong.
If a fiery head appeared in the sky and rumbled the earth with his mighty voice and demands and every camera and human eye saw it on the earth at the same time (I mean it is God right? Should be doable) then nah, no one is gonna dispute that.
You're taking stories that have never actually happened and saying they are the truth. I could do the same with the hundreds of religious texts that predate the bible by centuries but that wouldn't make that true either.
Also, if god knows that a person will remain wicked forever why does he keep them here to live a full life? And in turn, if he thinks they might change wouldn't that be a test?
People believe the earth is flat despite seeing pictures of it from space lmao. People also smoke cigarettes knowing it's going to ruin their lives and people also destroy their lives with drugs and alcohol.
People also leave their kids alone with priests despite how many of them rape children.
And also with teachers, too. People do stupid things
I love how you equate these things which people do because it makes them feel good to a giant head of fire in the sky lmao. One of those isn't like the other.
And as far as the flat earthers go, exactly. That's the same sort of blind belief that is at play with religion except one can actually be disproven.
Just seems like this god dude could sort a lot of shit out and end the pain and suffering in the world but doesn't do it for some reason. And yes I know I know, some woman ate an apple and then some dude did too so that's why we're all tortured forever.
What an awesome god.
We're all rebellious towards God- Many reject Him and He respects their decision
As always, how convenient.
