Agnostic atheist here who was raised Episcopalian and was an altar boy for years in his youth.

Something people tend to miss about Christianity is that the whole point of Jesus was to sacrifice himself to absolve humans of the sins and laws described in the Old Testament.

So the adherence of many “fundamentalist” Christians too the laws set down in the Old Testament seems ridiculous to me. In my mind, they ignore the most fundamental teachings of Christ, and if you do that, why claim to be Christian at all?

And the Bible’s an anthology of books written by different men from different walks of life in different times with diverging POVs on God, the afterlife, reward/punishment, etc. Regarding it as a monolithic text handed down directly from God is naive, to say the least.

If God exists, it is not jealous. Nor does it desire a close relationship with you.

Agree with the former, disagree with the latter.

Obviously the best solution to this is to give her a gun while she’s teaching.

The really funny thing is that she doesn’t look very white. She could easily pass for a minority.

It wouldn’t surprise me if she actually is of non-Aryan ethnicity.

Still no.

The idea should be that someone says something serious in the context of another conversation that sounds ridiculous in isolation. A one-off play on a Futurama quote doesn’t do that.

Agreed, though I don’t think it needs to be confined to OT.com posts (but that would be preferable).

This.
