    Christian zealots: "God is omnipotent, boundless, beyond comprehension."

    Also Christian zealots: "God must fit into a little box that my tiny brain can comprehend and anyone who disagrees with what my little box looks like is persecuting me!!"

    Exactly. Also, religion is a personal thing and it should remain personal.

    As long as your personal beliefs are exactly the same as my personal beliefs. And if they aren’t then you’re a satanist liberal who hates real Christians like me. /s

    I mean, religion shouldn't be a thing at all, it's inherently divisive. However spirituality is good and inherently personal without any of the drawbacks.

    Matt 6:5-6. Big fan of that when I heard it.

    A big part of this is that they don’t understand metaphor or allegory, and take “Heavenly Father” to be literal.

    My thought has always been that the more anxious they get about "threats" to their religion, the weaker their faith.

    She didn’t mention Jesus at all, she said god. Jesus is the son of god, in their belief system. Nowhere did I read that they said hated god or Jesus.

    These evangelical Christian’s always extrapolate, make assumptions and make up whatever they need to make up to push their narrative.

    Personally, I don’t think they should have said it, but it is what it is.

    God is actually three entities in the Bible. God, the Holy Spirit and Jesus are all the same entity.

    So when people say God is it usually Jesus or his dad?? I'm confused

    In mainstream Christianity, Jesus is considered to be both the son of god and god himself simultaneously.

    I don’t care, that is beside the point. My point is that she didn’t mention Jesus. Do I agree with her, I really don’t care one way or the other.

    The logical question to ask then is, why would it be a bad thing if god is a gay man???

    Read the Bible. Yahweh is alone and makes a naked man. Pretty gay.

    And got mad when Adam stopped freeballing around Eden.

    It should be noted, people were not meant to wear clothes, according to the Bible.

    But apparently God also said that, if you wear any, they better not be made of two different kinds of cloth or you'll be put to death.

    It sounds all so contradictory, until you remember it's all completely made up

    I heard that why women were plagued with menstrual craps, because god was mad that he accidentally made a straight man and god was like.. hella petty about it.

    But God is a gay man, why else would he create so many assholes?

    These Christians are also the same pricks who complained when God was portrayed as a woman in Dogma.

    That reminds me that the Anglican church was discussing implementing the use of non-binary they/them pronouns to describe god.

    https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/feb/07/church-of-england-to-consider-use-of-gender-neutral-terms-for-god

    Also reminds me that Jesus is a transman, being born from a woman through the will of god means that he would only of had access to XX chromosones as he would effectively be a genetic clone of Mary, and yet he identifies and lives as a man.

    If God is all things... am I missing something? What's the problem with that?

    God would reasonably be asexual. Unless there's a Mrs God? Fun fact, there kind of is: Asherah was Yahweh's wife in the Semitic religion that predates the Israelite version where only Yahweh (YHWH) is featured.

    Literally no one hates Jesus. They may hate Christianity or even Christians, but what would be the point of literally hating a Biblical character?
