That’s my point, I wouldn’t be surprised, unfortunately

Comment on Socialism is the actual teaching of Jesus
Passerby6497@lemmy.world 16 hours agoYou’d be surprised. I read the Bible cover to cover in high school (one of the reasons I no longer have faith), and it amazed me how many people in my life that were also Christian that were entirely unfamiliar with entire books or lessons…

The bible teaches that slavery is a-okay. It doesn’t surprise me that you’re not faithful anymore. Many other fucked up shit like that. I’m betting that if more people ACTUALLY read the bible, there’d a shitload less christians.
