A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I wonder what the hundreds of thousands burned alive for not being Christian would say to your comment.

See, I could reply to this with "nothing, because there's no afterlife". That's what's irritating: taking figures of speech or offhand comments based on this old idea of God and opting to be a humourless little twerp about them.

Where does the Bible say to burn people alive for not being Christian?
