“And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.

Matthew 6:5

Broken clock moment.

Leviticus 24:16
Whoever blasphemes the name of the Lord shall surely be put to death. All the congregation shall stone him.

Plenty of other nice punishments for whatever. burning at the stake, hanging, and crucifixion.
Or maybe some non-lethal whipping or wife beating.
No thanks

You assume I'm extolling the virtues of Christianity when I'm just pointing out that their own religious text agrees with the comment I'm replying to.

I get the feeling you're beating a dead horse.

Your reply might very well be that, since there is nothing in your verse contradicting his faulty statement that there are good 'true' christians.

[–] papertowels@mander.xyz 8 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Jesus Christ, there's nothing stating there are good true Christians either. Are you this combative with everyone, or is religion just a tender spot for you?

[–] Bloomcole@lemm.ee -2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Projection much?
I simply made a statement.
No noeed to jebus me or give me your amateur psycho-analysis.
Why do you get so triggered by it?
Religion is nothing to me, hapily atheist youth in western Europe without annoying bible thumpers.
It's nothing more to me than a subject of ridicule.
But I'll leave it at that since it clearly hits a nerve. Bye now

...yeah, and I just provided a quote. Didn't stop you from projecting your assumptions onto me below.

What is this "YOU DIDN'T DISAVOW, YOU MIGHT AS WELL SUPPORT IT" juvenile reasoning.

you can just say "my bad, I didn't know where you were coming from and thought you were a bible thumper"

But I'll leave it at that since it clearly hits a nerve.

Ah, the classic "I'm rubber, you're glue" line.

Well, have a good day as well.

Do you imagine that the same people wrote the stuff in Leviticus and Matthew? They were composed like 400-600 years apart

[–] Bloomcole@lemm.ee -3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Why would I care about that?
Not a fan of the fantasy genre

[–] porous_grey_matter@lemmy.ml 0 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Oooo so edgy lmao, maybe because you're pretending to care about facts

[–] Bloomcole@lemm.ee -2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

yawn.

Stopped discussing bible thumpers and flat earthers when I was 12. So bye

[–] porous_grey_matter@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Yet here you are

[–] Bloomcole@lemm.ee -1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I'll just block you, the online equivalent of slamming the door in the faceof annoying biblethumpers at your door that won't go away.
Go cry somewhere else with your BS

[–] porous_grey_matter@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 weeks ago

I'm not at all religious, haha
