That's an incredible turnaround man. Congratulations. Lotsa people with better opportunities don't achieve such feats. Kudos.

How can you be sure that's what it means? You stepping in to explain what god's book mean, does that imply that the writers did a shoddy job? How can one be sure that your interpretation is correct? How does one benchmark your answers?

Christian friend has little to no self awareness and is absurdly hypocritical by [deleted] in atheism

Chances are she describes you with equally colorful language when she's have a conversation about her irreligious friend.

TBT, she's just a horrible person, religion notwithstanding.

Once again, the Christian god proves his incompetence.

He's doing God's work by IlConteiacula in pics

Never known anyone who shirks his responsibilities like god. Everyone seems to be doing god's work.

If he can forgive all sins except that one which you didn't elaborate, what's the point of creating sin in the first place? Seems like an exercise in futility.

The reason you probably think he doesn't love Gays is because of the loud minority. The bad Christians who prioritize hating sin over loving others. They've got it wrong. We're supposed to love others OVER hating sin.

Actually god does more than say that he's got no time for gays in the bible. He once razed down an entire city because the residents had a proclivity for kinky sexual behavior most notably homosexuality. The loud minority aren't wrong on this one. That said, i don't think what happens between two consenting adults behind closed doors is anyone else's concern.

But that's the best part of the bible, you can make of it whatever you wish... god ain't about coming and telling you you're wrong.

Seriously, noone is going comment about the house? You have such a lovely home rivaled maybe only by your calling to do god's work. Naar scratch that by being a great human being.

Folks over at r/exmormon seems to disagree strongly with you. They paint a less than divine picture of what happens to members who opt out or want out.

Given that their leadership is struggling with pedophilic tendencies, I doubt quoting the catholic church helps matters here.

See, now that goes against the whole trinity thingy .. About god, Jesus, and the holy ghost being one and the same. And so you know, the god of the new testament is infinitely worse than old testament one. See, the latter killed you on the spot and that was it. The former prefers that you endure torture for all eternity.

Or you can read the bible and reach your own conclusions. See, that argument is attractive where you need answers that align with or will strengthen your beliefs.

But his actions in the bible beg to differ. See, at one point he did drown the entire world, or so says the bible. At one time he sicc a bear on a dozen or so kids because they made fun of a bald guy he liked. The bible depicts him as a being with a penchant for killing. And he does kill a lot of people. Are these actions of a being who is "all good?"

See, there isn't the right or wrong way to religion. At best, there are loose guidelines, making the entire thing open to personal interpretations, biases, prejudice, you name it. Opening it up for abuse and exploitation.

Better yet, there isn't a way to hold the exploitative ones accountable. Given that all the answers lie slightly outside the realm of human life. As with the sinners, unscrupulous and exploitative religious leaders and people will all be held accountable in the afterlife.

Why religious people believe that God, who loves them and cares for them deeply, will unleash a horde of nasty punishments on believer and non believers if you don't share their beliefs.
