Troll or not, straight to the blocklist
Weak troll with a brand new account? It's more likely than you think!
lmao
In what way?
Create a shitload more atheists?
Ew
"Morally good" as defined by who? Because according to the Bible, God's a dick. Wouldn't look to that fairytale to seek morality.
You might want to try reading that there book you're professing, I doubt you're a good faith actor, if you are you're certainly oblivious to what you're talking about. Either way you get on my blocked list.
Let's say you're not trolling, I'll point out 2 issues with this.
The first is that biblical morality is not what you think it is. You can find a litany of issues with this outdated "code of ethics", for example, the Bible is not only OK with slavery, it even provides you guidance on how hard you can beat your slaves.
And the second is, do you really think it's "your" Christianity that will be taught? Since the newly appointed head of the white house office of faith is a follower of the "prosperity" gospel, it's much more likely fringe denominations will pervert "good" Christianity rather than the other way around.
And if you haven't heard of the prosperity gospel, man, have you got some fun reading to do. It's the belief that the rich are rich by virtue of God, that their wealth is a reward and a sign of their alignment with Christian principles, and that maybe if you weren't so wrong you wouldn't be so poor. No more of that false prophet shit like "easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle", fuck that Jesus guy and his socialism, we've got a new god, and it's name is money.
Bible also says:
Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
I am Christian myself, but seeing other people who call themselves Christians imposing Christianity on others while they themselves not living according to our faith and then inventing excuses to justify it. I believe there's a special place in Hell for them.
It also condones slavery. It tells you exactly how much you're allowed to beat your slave without killing them.
Good stuff to teach children.
Or how about Lot's daughter's raping their father because... reasons? Gross.
Yes, slavery and raping women and murdering children all being a-okay is definitely morally good nods head
Fess up. You’ve never actually read the Bible, have you?
Our children would be better off in the future without their heads full of lies.
Well now I'm confused, I thought we were talking about the Bible? Who's talking about evolution?
Bad troll
Not in public schools. Keep your filthy smut away from children.
Freedom of religion also means freedom from religion.
Eww, theocracy gross
It absolutely does not.
Naww, belief is an action. There have been thousands of beliefs, yours will fall out of fashion as the others have.
It would help your culture, which is currently allying with white supremacists to overthrow the U.S. government. I don't think we need any more of your hateful culture in the U.S.
Oh, good idea, which part? /s The part about the brutal indoctrination of the indiginous peoples in the new world, the part with the papacy in Rome was a bought position and caused war and strife in Europe for centuries, the crusades [checks notes] plural... "gosh yall did a lot of them", or the more recent pedo stuff.
Which part of history of organizations and groups that use the bible as a core text should more people learn about?
(Apologies if that came off as too harsh, I have reasons to take issue with that point of view. If you want to truly debate this topic, feel free to DM me, be sure to bring your references.
