Human sacrifice ... the choice of all bronze age religions

Whenever I see anything remotely religious or creepy on Facebook I usually "sleep" that person for 3 months, or just unfollow them. If they aren't my friends or close relatives and are particularly offensive I just defriend them.

The happy easter text from dad included the line 'hope you reflect on what this day really means'.
Would it be too much if I just texted back, 'still an atheist dad'?

I often feel, as an Atheist ..as though I’ve arrived from another planet.. continuing to observe the indigenous flora & fauna… If nothing in my life has shown any indication of the powers they describe, fear, or worship, where’s that shit coming from? And why?

Beam me up ~

Despite Christian rhetoric dieing on the cross was not all that big of a sacrifice considering he was only dead for just three days. Someone who jumped on a grenade to save his buddies is dead forever...a much bigger sacrifice I would think.

Remember Jesus was moderately inconvenienced for our sins. Being immortal he couldn't die.
Last time I was at church the priest said Jesus was alive and still walked among us. Personally I think he was talking bollocks, I just think of being paid to be there!

Some people are dangerously delusional.

Yeah, I heard from a number of ‘believers’ who were quite upset with me when I referenced the joke about Jesus making a salon appointment to have his nails done. Apparently, not everybody shares my sense of humor. Fortunately, I have achieved the advanced age necessary to disregard the opinions of others. I thought it was funny.

I found this t-shirt at church my mom was going to when I was in college. I bought it because I thought it was ridiculous even though I was a believer back then. I don't know what happened to it. That was over 20 years ago, but it's an intense shirt and you can still get it online. Word of caution...it's bloody.

Torture porn.

Think I would have googled an image of a hammer and nails and sent that back saying no, it was my hammer and nails.

Correct me if I'm wrong BUT, this Hebrew character who claims to be the Son of God and is his own father, i.e.God incarnate, can raise people from the dead, walk on water, etc, etc, lets himself be nailed to 2 bits of wood and die when both knew full well that his 'sacrifice' wasn't really a sacrifice because he wouldn't be permanently dead anyway, 'dies' for OUR sins when the sperm and ova from which we are conceived were still non-existent anyway.
How, in the name of ALL logic and reason can that be?

I feel I have to post this...

According to the dogma, none of us is without sin. So whoever told you this is just as complicit in knocking the nails in as you are.

I wonder if those same people who believe in this nonsense also believe that it was Kavanaughs sin and Trumps.

Okay, I found the meme so you all can see this image I'm trying to describe! [askideas.com]

The person just thought that he or she had something good.

So much for O Felix Culpa:

O felix culpa quae talem et tantum meruit habere redemptorem,
O happy fault that earned for us so great, so glorious a Redeemer.

...’feel that deeply,’ or insanely? This is the manner in which these religious zealots operate in the world! They place the ‘blame’ on ‘those others,’ that are not like them..,for all that is wrong in the world! See how easy it was...they said it and it was so! Lol

Not your fault. He could quite easily just have thrown a little incense on Pilate’s altar to shut him up and they would all have been on their way. But oh no! Had to do his own way and help fuck the world more than it was then. To be fair he didn’t know what a bunch of imbeciles would follow but it was his choice. Could have walked away anytime. No one has to take the blame for someone else’s doings especially with about 2,000 anos distance!
