The source of Christian morality: It’s not what you might think

Church won’t excuse your bigotry,
You’re only there ’cause you agree!

John & Mary go looking for a new church

Escatological follies

So many Armageddons past,
So many days that weren’t the last,
For you the end can’t come too fast.

My death is just the price you’ll pay,
So gladly to be on your way,
And if I’m damned – well, that’s OK!

I’ve written a little poem for all those Christians who love to gloat about their salvation and my alleged damnation. It only lasts two minutes. Have a listen and tell me what you think in the comments.

Do you also unto me

You say that your morality comes from that book you read.

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

(Matthew 25:41-46)

You say that your morality comes from that book you read, its pages stuffed with guidance for the living and the dead. But if that’s true then why do you ignore so very much? What other moral guide informs your choices as you clutch your pearls and criticise, condemn your fellow men and hang on to your riches instead of helping them?

Did not Jesus say to sell it all, give proceeds to the needy? Conveniently you forget that part, it’s all so very seedy.

You focus on the Bible bits that let you judge your neighbours, judging trans men for their lack of tits and trans women get no favours. They can’t even use a public loo without explaining it to you.

You oppose sex education but insist girls go full term after a night of uneducated enthusiasm when her ova met his sperm. Some of you even shun the girl to raise her child alone. Is that really what your Jesus wants whose guidance you have overthrown.

You long for resurrection when you say I’ll go to Hell

But if your Bible tells the truth then you’ll be there as well.

By the book

By the book… a book most Christians have never read.

“It’s by the book!” Those Bible-bashing God-botherers said,
But if you look you’ll notice it’s a book they never read!

They’d better hope they’re wrong. They won’t enjoy the judgement half as much as they think.

Judgement day

Christians can’t demonstrate that their religion is true and so they threaten us with Hell and damnation instead.

“What will happen if you’re wrong?”

“What will you say to God on Judgement day?”

Christians can’t demonstrate that their religion is true and so they threaten us with Hell and damnation instead.

This is my answer!

Discussing God and atheism with a Calvinist presup

Ryan Matus is a presuppositional, Calvinist Christian. He’s no fool and he certainly knows scripture. This online conversation was one of the most interesting and enjoyable I can remember and I’m certainly looking forward to talking more with Ryan.
