Today in hilarious bible passages: Joshua chapter 9
[b]The story so far:[/b]
[i][c=#BF0000]The Israelites have been cutting a path of destruction through the promised land, mercilessly killing every man, woman and child that they find in the towns god promised to them. The People of Gibeon see all this happening and so they pretend to be from a distant land so that the Israelites will make a peace treaty with them. When the Israelites discover the deception they respond thusly:[/c][/i]
[quote]Joshua called together the Gibeonites and said, “Why did you lie to us? Why did you say that you live in a distant land when you live right here among us? 23May you be cursed! From now on you will always be servants who cut wood and carry water for the house of my God.”
24They replied, “We did it because we—your servants—were clearly told that the LORD your God commanded his servant Moses to give you this entire land and to destroy all the people living in it. So we feared greatly for our lives because of you. That is why we have done this. 25Now we are at your mercy—do to us whatever you think is right.”[/quote]
Like [i] no shit[/i], Joshua! Why do you think they lied to the family butchering horde rampaging across their homeland? And then you get salty about it?!😂😭
Good stuff.

@Pikachu I am so sick of them shoving their beliefs down my throat my whole life and I have had it up to HERE with their agenda to force their religious beliefs on others who don't agree. They're IDIOTS who don't know how to think critically. Adults who believe in magic are fucking fools.
@Doomflower I understand the frustration of living in a place where Christianity is forced upon you but remember that for every proselytizing Christian there are more who are just practicing their faith normally
@Pikachu those "normal" ones provide the background support for the bad ones. There are no good Christians. Just because they're not actively doing harm, they contribute passively by supporting their sick religion.
They are all morally reprehensible for their worship of a god that accepts human sacrifices. Like, holy shit. Back when I was a kid during the satanic panic they projected literally every icky part of christianity onto others. Abortions and rape and human sacrifice are all things that christians accused "cults" of doing these things and yet are ok with as long as their god commands/does it. They think the greatest expression of love is the most gruesome human sacrifice by torture. They are deplorable for accepting this crap. Evil is as evil does and Christianity is clearly evil as evidenced by its effects and they support it therefore they are doing evil.
Sorry for the rant. I'm just not going to "agree to disagree" with people anymore. Christians and republicans are both evil and I know that is emotional and might sound crazy but this is me losing it. I'm done with tolerating one of my greatest sources of pain.
