Catholic vandal on trial: punishment would be an "attack on Christians."

[Wyrd of Gawd]

So, the woman who vandalised a satanic monument in Florida went on trial the other day. Predictably, the logic used in her defense is large on lip-trembling persecution porn, and light on rationality or remorse:

“We are not sure there was a crime,” Hemeryck’s attorney Mike Bauer said. “I think this case represents the state basically putting an attack on Christians. That would be her viewpoint.”

Why is it that this is the attitude of so many fundamentalist christians, that they should be able to do whatever they like and not face any consequences?

It sounds like she was following the First Commandment from Exodus 34:12-13 (NLT), which says in part = “Be very careful never to make a treaty with the people who live in the land where you are going. If you do, you will follow their evil ways and be trapped. 13 Instead, you must break down their pagan altars, smash their sacred pillars, and cut down their Asherah poles."

Moses must have been talking to her.

But for arguments sake, if God was Malevolent, What are you going to do about it?

Futile as it might be, I would work against his evil, hoping to make the lives of his victims better.

Kinda like what I do now, except for the part where your god is real.

Is there anything that isn't an attack on Christianity these days? I found a 2p coin down the back of my sofa, and experts told me that even that is an attack on Christianity.

I'm going to not worship him, and have a clear conscience.

It's easy to talk big on the internet.
I suppose if a guy put a gun to your head and asked for your wallet, you'd refuse? I doubt it.

Yet you pretend to be Mr. tough guy in the face of eternal damnation, please.

I'm going to bookmark this post, so that whenever I see you plead "free will", you will have to swallow these words.

Typical thoughtless Christian. If your god needs to level threats in order to command respect, he's probably not worth respecting. How can you not feel dirty, falling to your knees praising such a little cunt?

You should be ashamed of yourself, because you see the forcible nature of the relationship posited by your little Bible, yet you still buy into it.

And yes, put me on your tough guys list. I'll happily say to your god what I'll happily say to his followers: fuck off.

Someone could force me to do what they want. They can't force me to accept what they do is loving, just, and merciful, unless they screw with my head enough. Which is very likely what Yahweh does when you get into heaven if he wants it to be any different than it is on earth. removing disobedience to him.

Do you accept Jesus scapegoating your sins? Or do you take responsibility for your own actions?

Lets use Joyce Meyer as an example, she claims to be a christian.

Did you know the bible is against women cutting their hair.

1 Corinthians 11:6
For if a woman does not cover her head, she might as well have her hair cut off; but if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, then she should cover her head.

Did you know that the Bible is against women wearing men's clothing (pants)

Deuteronomy 22:5
A woman must not wear men's clothing, nor a man wear women's clothing, for the LORD your God detests anyone who does this.

And before someone point out that "they make women's pants", you should know that when women started wearing pants, it was scandalous, It wasn't the bible that's changed, but us that's changed. If a man/woman walked around in their underwear back in the day, they would be thrown in a mental institution, but all of the sudden, it's normal at the beach.

So, you're going to use the No True Christian™ argument?

[Huggy Bear]

Wait... sorry to jump in, but you're equating your god with a mugger?

No I'm drawing a scenario that's easier to comprehend.

I guess you already forgot that I clearly stated "for arguments sake, if God was Malevolent, What are you going to do about it?". Everything I said was as it relates to a malevolent God.

Do you accept Jesus scapegoating your sins? Or do you take responsibility for your own actions?

The thing is, accepting responsibility for your actions means total annihilation, are you prepared to accept that? look at it this way, According to Hebrew law if you went into debt, and sold yourself into servitude, a kinsman (male relative) was able to purchase your freedom, this is referred to and the "kinsman redeemer"

Leviticus 25
47 And if a sojourner or stranger wax rich by thee, and thy brother that dwelleth by him wax poor, and sell himself unto the stranger or sojourner by thee, or to the stock of the stranger's family:
48 After that he is sold he may be redeemed again; one of his brethren may redeem him:
49 Either his uncle, or his uncle's son, may redeem him, or any that is nigh of kin unto him of his family may redeem him; or if he be able, he may redeem himself.

As Jesus said, "the scriptures cannot be broken", therefore God, had to become man (Kinsman) to redeem all that Adam lost, Because there simply was no one else that could do it.

Sounds shitty, not interested.

So, you're going to use the No True Christian™ argument?

2 Corinthians 11
13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

Matthew 7:15
15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

Romans 16:18
For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.

Shall I keep going?
The concept of false Christians is nothing new...

Ah, do we have another Drich-ceritifed True-Christian™ detector here?
