“As human knowledge expands-spanning science, history, and philosophy-the justification for belief in the Biblical God weakens. (See Alt) #hoffmasterstatepark #beliefsystems #science

The cumulative growth of empirical and rational understanding not only fails to support traditional theological claims but often contradicts them, rendering such beliefs less tenable today than in earlier, less informed eras.
Furthermore, the existence of billions of people adhering to mutually incompatible divine revelations undermines the plausibility of any single claim. Statistically, the prior probability of one specific revelation being uniquely true diminishes as the number of conflicting claims grows. This pluralism of belief systems, combined with the absence of objective evidence, further erodes the rational foundation for asserting the truth of any particular divine narrative, including the Biblical one."

“One of the most successful pieces of far right propaganda was to convince so many christians that helping the poor, feeding the hungry, bringing healthcare to the sick, loving all our neighbors, and caring for our planet was “leftist” and wasn’t actually part of following jesus.”

Church Is Canceled “When Christians demonize and harm the immigrant, the poor, the sick and the marginalized with oppressive laws, you don’t need to tell me about your religious beliefs. (See Alt) #photography

You’ve already shown me what they are by how you’re mistreating the immigrant, the poor, the sick and the marginalized.
Cruelty isn’t just a fruit of many Christians… it’s a goal of Christian, adherents see themselves as proxy Kings for god, and lust for the power to act as such.
Want to know one of the reasons 84% of the American Evangelical Church has stood beside Trump, so strongly? Because most of them, like Trump, treat the people as mascots. Mascots that can be labeled on a whim as the “good” or “bad .”

Vile.

“I was hungry” and you cut $1 Billion in funding to schools and food banks.

“I was sick” and you worked to gut medicaid, depriving me of healthcare.

“I was a stranger” and you defined my humanity by legal status.

“What ever you do to the least of these, you do unto me.”-Jesus
Imagine cheering on people in power who are actively targeting and harming the hungry, the poor, the sick, the elderly, the veteran, the disabled, the different, and the stranger and still somehow expecting people to believe you follow your Jesus.”
