genuinely one of the most annoying things is when you criticize religion and someone has to come in like umm 🥺🥺 but the text has been altered over time through faulty translation 🥺🥺 if you look at this one rare version of the text from several hundred years ago as practiced in one town maybe from a certain angle while hanging upside down you can see that my god didn’t MEAN for all of this misogyny and rape and slavery and conquering and cruelty to happen in his name 🥺🥺 or maybe even her name or their name 🥺🥺 if we all returned to the TRUE version of the faith you’d see that it was good all along 🥺🥺 like girl ! i do not believe in your god. he cannot be misinterpreted because he is not real and has not spoken. the church is an institution which is made up of people! it preaches certain values and arranges certain orders and has an obscene level of influence in our supposedly secular government, and all of these things are carried out by people with agendas who have the arrogance to believe they are imbued with divine authority. a religion is precisely what it is in practice and nothing more or less!
