    Also, Lucifer his wings were ripped off and he was banned to the underworld forever because he was asking God to give humans another chance and to have some trust in the human ability to learn from their mistakes (after Adam and Eve ate from the apple). God wouldn’t have it. Humans made a single mistake and they shall be punished forever. Such a nice guy.

    If I had to choose between God and Jeffrey Dahmer, I choose Dahmer. Dahmer doesn’t give children leukemia.

      Almost. God forced humanity into making that mistake. He deliberately withheld the ability to develop morality, so they literally could not know it was wrong. The omniscient creator of all things must have known he could have set things up differently and how it would have played out. The omnipotent creator of the universe could have made things any other way. Humanity’s fall, according to Christian mythology, was an act of ultimate deliberation.

      Dahmer became Christian in prison so he’s in heaven now living in a mansion and walking on streets of gold, while you are going straight to hell to be punished for eternity for, like, saying curse words or something.

        Yeah but at the festivals I go, there are Christians handing out flyers saying it’s the devil’s music. So at least they have good music in hell. And it’s nice and warm with loads of nice people.

        In heaven are Karens, loads of unvaccinated babies and pedophile priests. I sure have a preference, and it isn’t heaven.

        No he’s in there, pretty much all the way through.

        Like all things with the Bible, the OP of this post and most of these comments are fairly inaccurate, as are descriptions painting Satan and/or the various antagonists who may be the same or different characters throughout the bible as beings of pure malevolence- as it depends on certain translations and interpretations of a mystical and obtuse text that has been changed and recontextualized by society over thousands of years.

        For example - do you know whether harvest gleaning is morally good or bad without looking it up? What about whether someone who grows figs is considered higher in society or lower than someone who grows grapes? These would be second nature no Brainers to someone in the 1st century Levant.

        Yup, in the Bible. But there are loads of contradicting stories. It also states homosexuality is a sin, but also says it’s not. And it says you should be stoned to death if you eat pork. And God told a guy to murder his son. There’s so much weird shit in there, you can just pick whatever you like and force it down other’s throats while neglecting the rest you don’t like, like so many terror Christian loonies do. But the Bible changed over the years as it used to be copied by hand by monks and there’s the old and new testament. So it’s all just sadistic bullshit to be used to scare people into submission.
