    This is why humanities degrees are important. We’re putting people into leadership positions surrounded by others who also have never critically engaged with a book.

      They’ve read the Bible! Well, some of it. Well, they’ve heard their pastor read it. Well, paraphrase it.

        Not just the Bible. A lot of this extremist ideology comes from people who like to sound smart, but don’t know what they’re talking about.

        Like the whole effective altruism movement, or even just the resurgence of eugenics with Musk and his whole birthing weirdness.

    The oldest praying automaton we know of is from the 16th Century. This is basically that but with more capitalism.

    I can’t help but notice how captured the Christian mind is, when even the return of the Savior is a business opportunity; a revenue stream. These people are already robots who can’t worship without a prospectus and a spread sheet.

      Deep Christians are the perfect group for grifting, and these evil fucks use that info all the time. It’s like why the “Nigerian Prince” scam is so obvious, it automatically sorts out those that are the easiest dooped, to funnel them into even more money extraction scams.

        So that’s what those are for? That’s like saying “I don’t need to go running. Look, I can just draw a stick figure in this book, flip the pages, and he runs for me!”

    Such Christians, acting like they know better than god.

    Mathew 24:36
    [36]“But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son,

    Mathew 24:42-44
    42Watch therefore, for you do not know what [g]hour your Lord is coming. 43But know this, that if the master of the house had known what [h]hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into. 44Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.

      They think God works through them, and it is their divine duty to do this.

      It’s how they justify a lot of the shit they do.

      Don’t you know, God is a lazy slob who needs to be provoked into action. And of course he has no idea what’s happening on Earth unless someone tells him in a very specific way.

    Remember when God said he didn’t want idols made, then he punished the Jews to wander the desert for 40 years.

    This gives those vibes.

    It feels plain wrong.

      You are about 1700 years late to this argument. Christians reconciled with iconography some time in the Byzantium Era.

      • idiomaddict@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Sorry, totally unrelated but fun memory: Iconoclast was the first word whose unexpected etymology I (mostly) worked out on my own. I was watching a vh1 documentary on iconoclasts, and I’d just had a biology class where I’d learned about acetoclastic bacteria and I had a eureka moment wherein I leapt to the conclusion that “breaking the mold” was an older euphemism than I expected. I wasn’t totally right on that, I was still psyched to have broken it down correctly.

        I don’t have any problems with building beautiful things like cathedrals or making art in the name of God

        But building oracles and such is gross. The who AI pope question was insane.

        But I will have to read that article deeper, that’s an interesting wikipedia link

      Also I don’t think Christ would return if we were all being cool to each other, so they’re admitting they’re just trying to push humanity more off track.

      How does that help you in God’s judgement? I’m pretty sure disrespecting all of his creation and doing the opposite of everything Jesus stood for won’t go well.

      I’m agnostic, but selfishly I would not purposefully try to hasten driving myself to hell/damnation if I believed in it.

      Thankfully the values my mom taught me are the same ones Jesus taught: love your neighbour as yourself and do unto others as you would have done to you.

        This is what baffles me when my dad argues with me for being left of center.

        You sent me where they taught this, did you not want me to learn it?

        Yeah, that one took me a minute. I think “drip” or “slow drip”? I know “drip” used to be a term but was never one I associated with “screwball” or “crackpot”. Usually I’d heard “drip” to mean something closer to “dull” or “boring”.
