    If things aren’t bad, then the religion they tend to have in common is false, because it promises a depraved and lawless world that needs their religion in order to survive.

    Can’t even begin to countenance that people are happy and altruistic in spite of their religion.

      It’s especially hilarious when you see how antithetical it is to their holy book. Chronically angry and infuriated is not how I would describe the depiction of Jesus. When he did get angry, it was against people being hypocrites or selling things in the temple or mistreating the poor & foreigners.

      They’ve created a religion that is antithetical to their holy book, and they’re told to rage against the very things their figurehead would support. It’s no wonder evangelicals want kids to be illiterate.
