Stupid things religious people say

[Ferrocyanide]

Woman covered herself in shit to glorify God

This is exactly god told his peeps not to poop in the camp site.

Anyone remember where in the Bible this is written?

I remember that it says to use the handle part of your sword to dig a hole (a latrine) and you poop in it and then cover it with the handle part of the sword.
I think the handle part is suppose to be a shovel.

I think there was a part about nocturnal emissions. It says that you have to leave the camp for 7 days and wash yourself. It says that god does not like finding dirty people as he walks among you in your camp.

I know what this is trying to say, trying to impart some uplifting, hopeful message. But it struck me today when I saw someone say something along these lines that it's actually really chilling. Like, sometimes, I'm like, okay, Christianity is trying really hard to give this "you're not alone" "death is not the end" intention. Other times, it feels almost like a wed to death religion, where death is glorified, death is aspirational, the end of everything is triumph in itself. And it's very creepy and malevolent. But I include it here in the stupid things because I think they're mostly ignorant of how their wish for the deaths of everyone could be interpreted as an evil thing.

You mean that christians look forward to their death?
Well, they have been convinced that they don’t really die and that they are going to go near their god and they will be in heaven.
There wasn’t much to look forward to long ago.
You reach the age of 6 or so and your family makes you work on the farm. Perhaps you can go for a walk in the forest but eventually, it gets boring. It’s just trees and bushes and some birds making sounds.
Maybe at around age 15, you have to marry someone and one after the other, a kid is born and you have to take care of them.
There are no motors, no machines, no automation. Everything is made by hand and slowly.
And there is the occasional disease.
So, it makes sense that ancient humans invented a utopia (heaven).

Today, we have a lot more entertainment: TV, movies, sitcoms, books, documentaries, video games, your local park, go for a drive.

I would hope that IF my dead relatives were conscious and aware somewhere in a parallel existence that 1. We might have more to do/more going on than simply watching the still living, rather than being obsessed with and consumed by the previous state of existence.

Well, if that is the afterlife, that’s just more boredom.

I think it is hard for ancient humans to invent a descent description of heaven. Something that would be appealing to them.
Can you invent a heaven that will be fun forever and for everyone?

Telling someone that their relative is watching over them is just a psychological band aid to the sadness.
It is easier to tell them that ^^^^^ instead of telling them “He is dead. He is over. He is in the ground and he is decomposing and he smells like cadaverine and putrascene.”
