I don’t care what lies you believe, about the history of your oppressive belief system. I will admit that your religion did face a fair bit of persecution in the first few hundred years of the various sects, until they turned around and became global persecutors. I will listen to the archaologists and historians, not fanfic weebs.
As I said, you brought it on yourselves in the tiny amount of places that it might happen. You’re a hateful religion that likes killing people who don’t want shit to do with your hateful book.
Because every single form of culture it has spawned used the book to be imperialist murderous fucks. That’s how. It tells you to kill all sorts of people all the time. Though shalt not murder was immediately given terms and conditions.
“I gave you the right to choose, but with flawed biological processes, ensuring you would piss me off so I have an excuse to beat you. I could have done literally anything, but I chose this.”
“It is an act of death (mortal sins), you seperate yourself from God when you commit them and you also ruin your life when you commit them”
“Where did that come from?”
“Satan convinced Adam and Eve to eat the apple. God gave us free will but so that we could follow him willingly in faith. It is us that corrupt what he has made for good”
God gave us free will but so that we could follow him willingly in faith
If he wanted us to follow him…
…he could have just made us follow him. We’d be better off without the free will, we wouldn’t need emotions or thoughts at all. No suffering.
But even if you want to pretend free will exists (still waiting for any evidence that it does), god, being ALL-POWERFUL, had literally infinite ways he could have made us and our world such that we would all believe in him without compromising our free will.

we were and are persecuted in a lot of places

how is the Bible hateful?

Thou shalt not Murder is a commandment, no matter what, dont murder
and verses?
Well you fuckers don’t follow that commandment as much as you possibly can. Why don’t you try following your own shitty book and leaving people alone?
But killing is okay if it’s “justified,” then it doesn’t count as murder.
Fucking death cult.
“Do what I say, or suffer.”
That is not love. That is control. That is abuse.
“I died for your sins so you may be free of them, son. You may choose to follow me or not.”
“What’s sin, dad?”
“It’s the innate desire to break my rules.”
“Where did that come from?”
“I gave you the right to choose, but with flawed biological processes, ensuring you would piss me off so I have an excuse to beat you. I could have done literally anything, but I chose this.”
It is not love.
“What’s sin”
“It is an act of death (mortal sins), you seperate yourself from God when you commit them and you also ruin your life when you commit them”

God is stupid. Shockingly unimaginative.
