Haha, this proves that god is not a source of morality, and instead is a dictator. I've killed everybody I want to kill, which is nobody, even when god isn't there to stop me.

If you're only a good person under threat, then you're not a good person.

The question I get asked by religious people all the time is, without God, what’s to stop me from raping all I want?

And my answer is: I do rape all I want. And the amount I want is zero. And I do murder all I want, and the amount I want is zero.

The fact that these people think that if they didn’t have this person watching over them that they would go on killing, raping rampages is the most self-damning thing I can imagine.

I don't want to do that. Right now, without any god, I don't want to jump across this table and strangle you. I have no desire to strangle you. I have no desire to flip you over and rape you.

-Penn Jillette

As an atheist and a “liberal,” I don’t kill people because I’m not a bad person.

So what’s stopping atheists from just going on killing sprees then?

Christo-fascists openly revealing that they are genuinely terrible people held together with duct tape and faith in a genocidal God will never cease to be both hilarious and terrifying.

So nothing stops this guy from killing?

Matthew 15: 18 "But the things that come out of a person’s mouth come from the heart, and these defile them"

As stated in his own holy book, he's going to hell.

Saying the quiet part out loud. If you need a god to keep you from doing awful shit, you are a terrible person on a leash but we already know this.

Yeah, uh huh... This is fake.

The thing is its simply not true. We know what Jesus is like. (🐪🪡💰) And yet most ministries in the 21st century see the right to property as central to Christianity rather than the duty to feed and clothe the destitute.

Behind The Bastards did a recent two parter on How Capitalism Ate Christianity, starting with the ministry of James W. Fifield Jr. that reinterpreted scripture to veer away from charity and mercy and towards the righteousness of capitalism. It was largely helped after WWII by the red scare in which the Soviet Union provided a fine example of the singular alternative.

So Christianity was repurposed into the Christian Nationalist movement that seeks to turn the US into a one-party autocracy with fascist features.

Why would Adonai allow His holy scripture to be subverted to serve plutocrats? In fact it is done all the time, and has been done to advocate monarchy, to endorse slavery, to oppose war, to endorse war against specific belligerents and so on.

Dan McClellan on his YouTube channel notes scripture does not feature univocality, inerrancy or divine authority according to scholarly consensus (which commonly runs contrary to what apologists might suggest). As McClellan notes the people of any era has to negotiate with the scripture to affirm their own morality, whether that's pacifism and charity or standing your ground and massacring degenerates.

But that is also to say the ministries will justify violence when it serves them, whether that's torturing POWs and massacring villages during the Iraq war or forcing conversions at swordpoint as per the crusades and holy inquisition. And yes plenty of Christians when told they need to load for bear and hunt the sinners will do so, especially if they're in precarity and fear for the security of their home, family, job, survival, etc.

"I'm only a good person because the invisible sky daddy makes me be good."

You're not a good person if someone is holding you back from being a bad person.

For the most part, never try to talk people out of religion. Some people Need skycake and the boogie man to be a reasonable human being.

This isn't even a good photoshop, it looks like it was made in snapchat

My response is simply that I'm glad they still believe in an overseer that restricts their dangerous behavior. Some of us don't need that to be nice to others.

Another way to say the sentiment of this shit-kickin' Jayzus knuckle-dragger:
"If I wasn't afraid of punishment, I'd go on a killing rampage."

"I read was told about in church saw the cover of a book about a zombie a long time ago. I now assume what the book PROBABLY said and I also hear a voice in my head based on those assumptions. I'm VERY afraid of the voice and also it loves me and it did the Holocaust - anyways, that's the only reason I'm not a murderer"

“The threat of the unknown is what keeps me from forming my own opinions of right and wrong based on what is known.”

"I do the bare minimum to function in society because of the threat of eternal punishment"

Also, looks a little photoshopped to me.

Jesus hold me back bro!!!

By all means, keep believing in that god and stay tf away from me. I don't want to risk myself being around you if and when you lose your faith.

Really looks like a photoshop, I've met the type of person but the bumper sticker is a little on the nose and doesn't quite look right.
