    bestie, it is time to get tested

    You’re going to get me thrown out of church for cackling.

    There’s plenty of arguments for emotional dysregulation, forgetting what was going on, and impulsiveness.

    “SHOW YOUR DEVOTION TO ME! KILL YOUR SON! Wait. Wait. Wait! Shit I changed my mind”

    “Those bastards are using my temple as a market? I’m so angry I’ll… I’ll… whip you with my shoe leather! Fuckers!”

      Fun thing about the money-lenders story: I’m sure you know that the money-lenders were there so jews could exchange their Greek and Roman currency for Shekels so they could buy animals to sacrifice in that temple. But since these church money-lenders were the ones in control of the currency exchange rate, they would artificially depress their own currency so these people would end up playing far more for each shekel than market rate, allowing the church to walk away with a profit. I think the desecration caused by the animals and the foot traffic was less offensive than the church fleecing their own flock. I wonder how He would feel about prosperity gospel megachurches?

      The scary thing is, there are some families who will willingly kill their son to make their god happy.

      I have a dad willing to punch their children and ditch their wife to make his god happy :(

      Funnily enough, I have another post about stuff from the Bible, over on RPG memes. Go get yourself thrown out of church after all.

    I’ve read the bible several times and I can confirm that there is certainly some mental disorders involved, although I’m pretty sure it’s not just ADHD.

        You atheists can try to poison us against our Lord, but the truth is we have learned from Jesus’ example to love the poor, the mad, the sick, the hungry, the abused, and the oppressed. If Jesus Christ had a personality disorder I say: so what? I still love Him. You cannot persuade us to hate our Lord for being different when He has already taught us not to hate the different.

          This sounds like something someone who is going through domestic violence would say. I feel so sorry for you.

          Atheists can also love the poor, the mad, the sick, the hungry, the abused, and the oppressed. My particular way of doing this is voting for parties that put forward progressive and social policies (that clothe, feed, and provide healthcare for the poor), and giving blood.

          How have you put your love towards those people into action?

            Why, only 6 hours ago I upheld the dignity of the mad and the oppressed by speaking up in support of those with personality disorders, in order to counter an attempt to poison the followers of Christ against our Lord on the accusation of personality disorder. Where most people would agree with hatred towards those with NPD, I expressed my love, and I hope it was clear from my words that I extend the same love to any mortal with NPD, or indeed with any other personality disorder. If you care for the mad and the oppressed as I do, then I have no quarrel with you, for neither do I hate atheists, and rather than bicker I ask that you join your voice to mine in retorting against @Reverendender@sh.itjust.works that you, like I, have no hatred towards the neurodivergent, and that you agree it is not a shameful thing to have narcissistic personality disorder.

              So your response is that your action of love towards the poor, the mad, the sick, the hungry, the abused, and the oppressed… Is writing a comment on Lemmy? 🤣

              Is this what you learned from following Jesus’ example? Apathy? Laziness? Indifference? You are pathetic, and you’ve made your god look pathetic.

              Stop wanking yourself off on Lemmy, and actually help some people, like you pretend you do.

                I am not one to boast of my many kindnesses to strangers. I believe in evidence. I would not bore you with stories of the lives I have saved and political victories I have accomplished for the downtrodden when you don’t know me, and don’t know if I’m telling the truth. I would not expect you to believe idle bragging. Thus I showed you who I am by the actions I take right before your eyes.

                Were I a more suspicious person I would point out that neither am I assured of your honesty when you bragged about your actions, but I choose to believe you did vote left just as I did, and that you give blood as you say. However, even believing what you tell me without evidence, which is by no means a kindness I would expect of you for me, I cannot help noticing that you have not joined your voice to mine in defending the downtrodden as I suggested. I hope that you are simply taking the time to draft a proper reply, as I’m sure you took when throwing stones at my house, and that your house’s walls are not made, so to speak, of glass.
