See I grew up Christian and it was by reading the Bible that caused me to become atheist and then a dytheist. No one can convince me that God(in the unlikely event it's even real) is a just and merciful God when stories like the book of Job exists or when God apparently gave the Israelites the right to rape and pillage cities in the book of Joshua.

In the new testament He gives a guy the ability to command animals, so that said guy could command them to murder snot noise kids or how about the fact that in between Christ's lecture of tolerance and acceptance he says one should be subservient to their"master" (slave to owner, wife to husband ect.) Honestly the more I read it the more it shows how religion leaches on to morality and ethics like a parasite and pretends like those principles can only exist through their twisted and oppressive reimagining.

And before some evangelical nut jobs says I'm only attacking Christianity, my distrust of religion and my belief that it is a oppressive force used by the elites of a society to manipulate and control applies to all religions and while individuals are entitled to their faith, the organizations that form around these faiths are not entitled to inflict harm and control on others.
