Once you deconstruct religion, it begins to sound more and more childishly absurd each time you think about it

i think that depends on which religion you’re deconstructing. a lot of them, especially smaller ones, are basically vehicles for communicating ancestral knowledge and history across generations through story. you don’t have to believe the story to appreciate the messages

I don’t think religion itself is absurd but the way a scary amount people treat religion, or their perspective of it, is actually psychotic

Insulting a protected class btw. Do you insult people on their gender, race, or sexual orientation as well?

tbh i think you could make an argument that a lot of these religions originated from cultural contexts that didn’t have the concept of literalism that we have today. a lot of religions are more worried about their stories being remembered and retold than being explicitly believed if that makes sense

This “meme” has never made sense to me. It’s documented history vs a comic book

The Bible isn’t documented history lol. I agree with 1 in the sense of how OP’s responses are wrong, but let’s not act like the Bible is a history book. It’s stories relating to Christianity and some history retold through that lens, but at the end of the day it’s not objective; solely because something it listed in the Bible doesn’t mean that it had to have taken place at some point.

True it's not all objective, I was talking about moreso the New Testament and the life of Jesus. Even non Christian historians recognize that jesus existed, his ministry happened, and something weird happened after he was crucified to cause people to die for a cause. No comic book historian thinks spider man actually existed

the meme says "proof that GOD exists" not "proof that Jesus existed". the meme does not claim Jesus wasn't real

Does it ever matter who/what exists or doesn’t. The point is that OP was being rude about my religion.

yes it does matter what did or did not exist when somebody says "it's documented history" 😂 tf is wrong with you? this is what we're talking about! only a childish and absurd person would get mad at people correcting somebody who says the bible is documented history

i think it's funny that you point to historical documents when you clearly don't understand what gives them value
