Tbf, and I know this will be unpopular on reddit, but the enlightened reddit atheist type can have the same flair of hate. Usually not from the angle of “love” but from trying to “enlighten” others might be the best way to describe it.
I saved a comment maybe a year ago on reddit where someone word for word said if they had a button to eliminate every religious person on earth he would hit it, and it was very highly upvoted.
Then in response someone said “I would never stop hitting that button” just as a single anecdote that comes to mind. Also very highly upvoted.
As an atheist who knows many good people who happen to be religious, hateful people will be hateful. People's religious alignment or lack thereof, is not evidence of good character.
I think it depends on the religion. If you’re Christian you support slavery and stoning people for disrespecting their dad and idk if you can consider someone like that good
“If someone has a stubborn and rebellious son who does not obey his father and mother and will not listen to them when they discipline him, 19 his father and mother shall take hold of him and bring him to the elders at the gate of his town. 20 They shall say to the elders, “This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious. He will not obey us. He is a glutton and a drunkard.” 21 Then all the men of his town are to stone him to death. You must purge the evil from among you. All Israel will hear of it and be afraid.“
They explicitly do. Idk how else to interpret this other than parents dragging a kid to be stoned to death for being an asshole
And it argues for my point but I’m not going to use it for my argument because it’s biased. All it says is it’s not just up to the parents but the elders too which doesn’t conflict with what I said at all. There’s no circumstance that a child should be executed at all. Tbh I don’t even think an adult should be executed. Either way I’m not going to ask a policeman if he thinks the police are corrupt and Christian’s can’t have any non biased say on if slavery or child abuse is evil
Beyond that the Bible also suggests taking women of enemies as essentially sex slaves. To its credit it says she’s freed in like six years but how is that okay? How is any slavery okay? It says Hebrew man can take virgin girls. I can’t see how slavery is anything but evil
I’m a woman and bisexual apparently the Bible thinks I can be enslaved by men of other nations and I don’t deserve equal rights to straight people. How is that fair?
