  1. My religion says you can’t do that to me, but I can do it to you.

Kind of inevitable when they worship a god who is supposedly always right, yet evidently wrong and blatantly hypocritical. "Always right" obscures the hypocrisy, they twist themselves into knots trying to make it make sense instead of just admitting it is literal nonsense.

"That was the old covenant."

So god was wrong then, realized it, and changed?

"Well no, you're ignoring the context."

Slavery and rape were socially acceptable, and omnipotent god didn't want to rock the boat?

"We just can't understand omnipotence."

They somehow fail to acknowledge that if god is ALL-POWERFUL, literally anything that happens is because he chose it to happen.

"No, he gave us free will."

If he's all-powerful, there is no free will. He knew what we would do with it and chose to create us anyway. All of our choices are his choice. Also, what about times in the bible when god explicitly swayed someone's mind? And why are we being punished for someone else misusing the free will?

The bible exists to normalize, even glorify, abuse.

I hope people everywhere stop tolerating death cults.

Would you like to offer any arguments?

We will not accept fallacies or claims without evidence.

No one capable of thinking critically takes the bible seriously. It is a laughably stupid book that selfish, frightened morons use to cause real harm.

Then why is it the best selling book of all time?

If you're so smart why are you 12?

Remember when I said "We will not accept fallacies or claims without evidence"? The fallacy you just provided is called argumentum ad populum. Did you know that billions of people CAN all be wrong?

To answer your question, the bible is a useful tool for controlling the stupid masses. It's a weapon, a cancer, aggressively pushed on us until we all choke on it.

If you're so smart why are you 12?

I am 34. Check out my website. I wrote a song about the abuse your cult inflicted on me. https://snoopsqueak.com/

Twelve-year-olds with more intellectual integrity than you can identify the bible as a contradictory work of fiction.

Do you have any actual arguments, any specific responses to the points I have made? Or is this disconnected dumbassery all you have?

Thank you. I have tried four therapists, trying a fifth next week. I don't see things getting better. Not enough people are acknowledging how fucked we all are. People like my parents pretend I brought my problems on myself, even though they made the choices to create me, hit me, lie to me, etc. Their death cult is currently occupying our government and rapidly dismantling years of progress. People are dying for their stupid greed, and people are pretending this is fine and normal and that I'm overreacting.

I think we might be fucked. I feel like my life and eventual death don't matter in the slightest solely because no one is paying attention to what it means.

What's my cult?

People who read Wikipedia's list of fallacies page? We're both in that.

The bible is for sure utterly contradictory and mostly fiction, but there's also some decent opinion based stuff and some fuzzy history. But it's one of humanity's most important cultural artefacts, it's still worth knowing something about.

I have more dumbassery too, but you have to ration such valuable stuff.

Are you telling me you're stupid enough to defend a bible you don't believe in? Did you... read it? Yahweh is a death god. Check my original comment. I made very specific arguments you still have not responded to.

It is a relief to hear you say so.

but there's also some decent opinion based stuff and some fuzzy history.

It's mostly deadly bullshit and outright lies. For example, the Exodus basically didn't happen. No global flood. No 6-day creation. No resurrection. Jesus did not invent the golden rule, nor did he live by it.

But it's one of humanity's most important cultural artefacts, it's still worth knowing something about.

I was raised on it, I know much about it. Hence my criticisms. Meanwhile, all you have offered is "you bible bad" with no explanation for how my interpretation is wrong or what you think would be better.

I have more dumbassery too, but you have to ration such valuable stuff.

Cute. People are dying for this shit.
