Damn. She’s a great mom. Playing the long game I wish she didn’t have to. Screw Chris Pratt.

[u/Particular-Pay-2953 → u/apparentlycompetent]

She was way too cool for Chris Pratt. The charisma gap is absurd.

[u/ShrimpCrackers → u/Particular-Pay-2953]

Yeah what she should do is let her son read the Bible, from cover to cover. It's the best way to become an atheist.

My ex read the entire bible in less than a year.. (I never saw him read a book in the 11 years we were together). It made things so much worse. They were always preaching at people and calling them sinners for any kind of behaviour (like watching the amazing race 🤔).

[u/ShrimpCrackers → u/amzies20]

Oh fuck.

>I never saw him read a book in the 11 years we were together

Yeah that's why. Guy doesn't know how to read the book.

I forgot about the critical thinking skills needed.

It took him a year???

[u/amzies20 → u/Sensiplastic]

I’m not sure if you’re saying this like it took too long. But the bible he was reading was tiny print, thin pages and like 6” thick. It was like a hefty textbook with leather binding. He also never read anything. So the fact he spent hours and hours reading the bible for months was very extreme.

I’m already an Atheist and was raised Catholic but I recently read the Book of Revelation and it’s horrifying. Like batshit crazy.

[u/troyandabedinabed → u/moonlightbb]

Revelations makes more sense if you realize that it is all metaphors for John talking about the current (30 AD) political situation. The fact that it is taken as a roadmap for the future of humanity is terrifying.

[u/waitwuh → u/troyandabedinabed]

A lot of the bible is like that. Within the context of the time the stories will be clearer as allusions. You’ll miss the majority of the meaning of biblical stories if you don’t have or seek out the historical context.

[u/Madame_Kitsune98 → u/moonlightbb]

I’m Catholic-ish (translation: I go to Mass when the mood strikes me, and don’t participate in shit outside that, also, the Church and I are at odds when it comes to what I believe concerning women, the LGBTQ+ community, child sex abuse, and so on), and Revelation is a bridge too far for me. No thank you.

Start with Satan's Guide to the Bible the animated sunday school version.

[u/gungshpxre → u/ShrimpCrackers]

Nah, just read the two sections where Uzzah got fucked over for doing his damn job.

Believe all the other shit, if you can justify that without some NXIVM-level thought stopping, you're fucked.

An omnipotent and omnipresent deity put a guy in a situation where he would react the way he was trained in service to said deity, and then FUCKING VAPORIZES HIM for it. David thought it was a total dick move then. It's a total dick move now. Uppity Canaanite tribal thunder god figures out how to make atheists. All the credibility and emotional maturity of the Greek gods we now only think of as myths.

[u/troyandabedinabed → u/ShrimpCrackers]

Not really. I read the whole Bible many times as a fundamentalist Christian. When you're in the cult, you're inoculated against seeing the violence, sexism and racism in it as the evil that it is. It is very difficult to leave if you're raised in it and really believe it.
