Two kinds of Christian

I guess they were too busy hurting others to read Matthew 25…
“Whatsoever you do to one of the least of these, my brethren, do you also unto me.”

There are two kinds of Christian. Some are genuine, sincere, compassionate and strive to be a source for good in the world. They’re the ones who are represented in the old hymn, ‘Make me a channel of your peace’.

Then there is the other kind. These Christians are stuck in the Bronze age mindset of the Old testament. They prefer oppression over peace, nationalism over fellowship and hatred over love. I guess they were too busy hurting others to read Matthew 25…

“Whatsoever you do to one of the least of these, my brethren, do you also unto me.”

Part 2 with Jonathan

It is my belief, which I told Jonathan several times throughout the discussion, that he simply is not equipped for this type of discussion.

This is both the longest and the most infuriating conversation I’ve had with a Christian. It’s definitely what you might think of as ‘long form’. It is my belief, which I told Jonathan several times throughout the discussion, that he simply is not equipped for this type of discussion. I have advised him to learn the basics of his religion and to actually read his Bible.

In the second half he demonstrates his utter contempt for anyone who doesn’t agree with him, his dismissal of any notion of equal rights and just how much he deserves the rarely applied (but in this case very well deserved) label of ‘Christofascist’.

His misogyny, racism, homophobia and xenophobia are expressed with a smug pride that has to be seen to be believed.

If we give people like Jonathan an inch they’ll drag us all straight back to the bronze age!

Discussion with an Eastern Orthodox Christian

Atheism is not a belief system.

Meet Jonathan Stephan, an Eastern Orthodox Christian from America who has some very particular views on atheism and the utility of Christianity.

Deus vult: an American dream

Jesus isn’t coming guys,
No raptured flight into the skies
This world needs compromise,
Your sabre=rattling won’t change that,
So calm down, Mr. Trump – you sanctimonious twat!

This might be it,

Could be the end,

Stinking of shit,

The Pastor’s friend,

Might just have started World war 3

This Yankee Christianity

Could be the death of you and me

Deus vult!

It’s a death cult,

You’ll see!

No Nobel prize for the orange turd!

He says the winner called him on the blower,
Can the orange turd sink any lower?

There’s nothing noble about Trump,

He’s just the Christo-fascist’s chump,

Barely alive,

Shat from the rump, Of Project 2025!
