       @lednabwm whoops, no it isn’t. Those aren’t the words of Christ but the words of Paul, written 30 years after Christ’s death. That quote has been changed to read “me” instead of “Christ”.I’m no fan of right-wing Christianity (or, in fact, ANY Christianity) but presenting false evidence gives the fascists a nice easy straw man to hang their argument on.

       @choobs @lednabwm Except that the Christians themselves say that the Bible is the Word of God even if there non-existent god did not write any of it.

       @the5thColumnist @choobs Well, by his reasoning, christ isn't responsible for anything because the eye-witnesses are all of questionable character. Not to mention, they were not that bright.

       @lednabwm @the5thColumnist <shrug > I spent the first 15 years of my life in a cult and several decades after that trying to deprogramme so I have a better than average understanding of how Christians work. You do you - all I was trying to do is point out that you’ll never be able to score points against them by using misquoted scriptures because I guarantee they know them better than you do.

       @choobs @lednabwm I would bet the average atheist knows the bible better than the average christian, but since there is no book of Christ, none of the Bible was written by him, why do they always refer to it as the word of god, if it isn't.

       @the5thColumnist @choobs @lednabwm Friend... the dude above was talking about cults in particular (they will know their batshit better than you do) But!To answer your question the Bible (not just, but in this case) is by and large propaganda. It is also not the same Bible as the OG version etc...Kings, Popes etc all "edited" the Bible so it would say what THEY want it to say. And we all know they have good intentions.The ones who refer to it in a literal way know its not... its a weapon

       @Aviva_Gary @the5thColumnist @lednabwm to be honest, I’ve stepped away from the whole conversation as I find zealots of -all- varieties equally obnoxious :)

       @choobs @the5thColumnist @lednabwm cool ☮️ When it comes to religious books however, there is more to them than simply what is inside them...If you don't have the context/motive you got nothing and I feel like people miss that a lot I mean still believe what you gonna believe but religious books change way more than some people would care to admit 😉
