"Laughing At Religion" Meme Thread

[Oldandeasilyconfused]

 
Don't forget God's chosen people slaughtering all of the Canaanites because Cana was the land promised to them by God.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. YHWH of the Torah is a dead cunt. 

 Without exception, religions reflect the cultures which in invent them and the people who practice them.  How could it be otherwise?.

The tribes which became the Jews were nomadic, illiterate bronze age sheep herders. Their lives would have been nasty and brutish and short.  Only natural  that their gods would be even more nasty and brutish.

Interesting to note that over centuries, El the petty Sumerian storm/war god became YHWH , the one creator god ,lord of the universe, god the loving father.

As Jewish society evolved, so did their religion.  Same thing has happened to Christianity, with different levels of success. Even so, we no longer stone people for adultery nor burn them alive for heresy.   IMO that is only because church no longer controls state, at least not to the degree it once did in christendom,  up to the early seventeenth century at least. 

I won't comment on Islamic societies  which have yet to evolve beyond brutal tribal law. 

It's been sobering to watch the behaviour of the extreme right all over the world in recent years. There is no doubt in my mind that many of those people would cheerfully see heretics, gays, commies et al murdered for being themselves. Probably broadcast it at half time during sporting events on Fox.
