The punishment for sin is death. All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. It’s mercy that God’s let you live this long. How shall you escape?

LainTrain@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 days agoNo def not, most people I know and myself would be killed under any religious moral system because their entire existence is sin because that’s what’s written, but they’re some of the kindest, most humanist and sane people I’ve met, they just aren’t religious. Often they have individual moral frameworks that are some variation of the marxism-adjacent maximization of happiness/minimization of suffering or nietzchean fulfillment of potential.
I also have no problem calling it sinful either if it’s a useful shorthand tbf, it’s just words after all.

I genuinely cannot tell if you are being facetious or not.

They’re right, except you can set it to “everyone I know”

That really didn't clarify anything 😂

Any religious moral system that says God allows and wants you to murder kind, sane and humane folks can be safely disregarded. What the fuck, lol. Nobody who fears God’s judgment (which is a basic prerequisite to call yourself a monotheist!) can argue for that or act that way; how would you explain that shit to Him? But, you know, people… I mean, the Crusades were framed through “Deus Vult” (and the Zionist neo-Crusades are more or less excused the same way, right?), some things don’t change and all of those bloodthirsty murderers are burning in Hell, I’m pretty sure. 😔
