Almost everything here is from New Testimony. It’s Christianity’s best, let’s judge according to it! EPIC tiers from F to S, with extra Super S section
F tier = no comment
Slave morality
You know, ackchyually the Bible is opium for the masses. It tells you not to live for yourself, like, really? Not to live for yourself, but someone who allegedly died for you? It’s really like with parents, they bring you to the world without asking your permission! Just like that guy who is supposedly in the clouds. Both later expect you to reciprocate. Sorry dad, I’m living for myself, not you!
See this?
> be Ananias
> lowkey like this God
> suffer just for that
that’s ridiculous, where’s the logic in this?!
Like my fav bro Nietzsche would say, SHEEEPP!! Lmao Especially to this:
“ You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness”
A big L.
Pure slave morality getting used by all the Chads getting all them moneys n slayn...
I’m so funny, you know? Not like these boring Christians… smh
Bible force-fed to their children brainwashes them into being sad. Just take a look at this. No joy? CRINGE!
Racing to the bottom, purity spiral:
“or it is the one who is least among you all who is the greatest.”
See the victim culture? It’s becoming - last, becoming animal!
“take the last place, be distinguished”
I wonder what could that lead to in the future!
Nihilism
“Nihilist and Christian: they rhyme in German, and they do more than rhyme... “
They see our real sadness, happiness as not worth it. Time preference set at infinity. Low is bad, but infinite? C’mon! In the long run we’re all dead!
They are so simplistic, without their God everything would be permitted for them! Operating by such hedonist logic! No valuation of the civilization. Outright rejection of everything which is not forever.
They can’t be trusted! No enlightened egoism is possible until thereafter! They don’t care about the world. Expelling THEM from civilized states?
Do they want to be happy here? No! To make each other more loyal to the transcendental they preach hate to each other and worsen their lives. Self hatred has never gone that far
E tier = cringe
Deceit
Their role of being menace to society does not stop there! They OPENLY state in their SCRIPTURES how they are supposed to be deceitful, like f****** SNAKES!
D tier = meh
Libral critique
Ah, so you like women’s rights and at least the idea of equality of genders?!
Tell women they’re ‘saved by childbirth’? Is that liberating? The ‘only’ by childbirth’ variant - is it implied?
Abolishment of unjust hierarchies, etc, etc?
Sorry sweetie, all power is from God, so if you resist, they’ll label you as blasphemer :(
Do you support rights for LGBT+ folx? Well, based on this passage, they’ll call these minorities abominations. They’re not likely to be convinced by queering this passage. [who’d be tho?]
guilt tripping
They say plainly that they will use the effect of you being forgiven something. Guilt tripping you into submission. And if you don’t have that much to be forgiven according to their scheme, then sorry, you’ll love the dictator less. And that’s not a good forecast for you.
C tier = ok
Identity destruction
Christianity preaches ego death as eschatological positive telos. Nothing’s wrong with this by itself. Other religions also feature that fate for some (chosen / deserving). The problem is how Christianity presents this aspect of itself - it doesn’t. The fundamental change of the personality of the saved is looked over. Scriptures are clear about it: name change, rebirth, becoming one with others. It’s the ultimate goal, could be featured more prominently!
B tier = decent
Kinky
Gooood morning beautiful people!
Did you know that… Uhm… Christian God is hella KINKY? That’s right UwU. He repeatedly states how he p-punishes (blemishes) those that he l-l-loves. And you also need to express your love to Senpai by keeping His discipline. Kinda hot, I know… It’’s mentioned many times in the Gospel of John: here, here, and here
A tier = good
Too easy…
So you want salvation, right?
Fortunately for you, it’s quite easy to get it, you know?
These speak for themselves...
Mark 16,16 “Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.”
1John 5,5 “Who is it that overcomes the world? Only the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.”
Acts 2,21 “ And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved”
Romans 3,24 “all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.”
Romans 10,9-10 “If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.”
Romans 10,13,13 “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
And too hard (at the same time)
These also need no additional explanation...
1Cor 16,22 “If anyone does not love the Lord, let that person be cursed! Come, Lord!”
1Peter 4,18 "And, 'If it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?”
Luke 13,24 "And, 'If it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?”
Luke 14,26 “If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even their own life—such a person cannot be my disciple.”
Luke 14,33 “In the same way, those of you who do not give up everything you have cannot be my disciples.”
Luke 18,17 “ Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”
Mark 8,34 “Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.”
Mark 10,29-30 “Truly I tell you,” Jesus replied, “no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for me and the gospel will fail to receive a hundred times as much in this present age: homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and fields—along with persecutions—and in the age to come eternal life.”
Mark 10,21 "Jesus looked at him and loved him. 'One thing you lack,' he said. 'Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”
“His winnowing fork is in his
hand, and he will thoroughly
cleanse his threshing floor. He
will gather his wheat into the
barn, but the chaff he will
burn up with unquenchable fire."
Matthew 7, 21 “Not everyone who calls me Lord will enter God’s kingdom. The only people who will enter are those who do what my Father in heaven wants.”
“Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to turn
“‘a man against his father,
a daughter against her mother,
a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law—
36 a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.’
37 “Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves their son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. 38 Whoever does not take up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me. 39 Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it”
Matthews 15,13 “But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.”
Matthews 16,24-25 “Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. 25 For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it.”
Letter to the Romans seems most liberal, while the Gospel of Matthew is most restrictive.
S tier = excellent
Anti - family
Liberalism destroys them good Christian families, amirite?
In fact, the Gospel of Matthews says family wellbeing and unity is inferior to the ideals.
And also this, which was already above
“Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to turn
“‘a man against his father,
a daughter against her mother,
a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law—
36 a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.’
37 “Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves their son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. 38 Whoever does not take up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me. 39 Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it”
And St Paul urges everyone not to marry, not to look for a spouse, but just pray as the end is near. His approval of the institution of marriage is just a concession , even a trap. Because of it that immortality does not occur, he’d prefer everyone be single and praying. Not to mention this parent hating quote - which was already mentioned before
SS tier = overpowered
Ok, time to stop clowning.
Open debate with people with interesting belief structures is of utmost importance to me. From the following you can see how Christians didn’t (don’) like honest talk.
Anti - debate
1Cor 1,17-24 the one on being ‘a foolishness for pagans’
1Cor 1,26-27 they openly admit there are few thinking people among them
1Cor 2,4-5 absolute rejection of agency = being a revealed religion, faith of a believer is not from human wisdom, but power of God
1Cor 3,17-21 again anti-intellectualism
1Cor 13,1-2 not criticism per se, but still intellectually unfavourable climate
1Tm 6,4 “They have an unhealthy interest in controversies and quarrels about words that result in envy, strife, malicious talk, evil suspicions” - that’s literally me!
2 Timothy 2,23 well, the quarrell is what I’m after. Creative destruction moment
Colossians 2,7-8 “hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ.”
Romans 1,28 That's basically how presuppositional apologetics is supposed to work. Too restrictive for me
Romans 15,20 the ambition not to build on someone else's foundation is arrogant and inapplicable in philosophy
Hebrews 11,3 through faith we know that the world has invisible parts? As if RAtioNaL inquiry didn’t get there
Luke 23,9 Pliny asks reasonable questions and gets just silence in response
Romans 1,18-22 this postulates that natural (not revealed) religion should approximate revealed one if only people were better - I don’t see this to be the case
Titus 3,8-9 avoiding disputes - I share the feeling that most are useless and maybe it was a good heuristic for them at a time
Let’s end this section with a beautiful ‘no true Scotsman’ fallacy line: "No one who lives in him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has either seen him or known him."
Neutrality is impossible
Who does not believe, is already damned, so you might just as well get on with that godless life of yours...
Uhh, is this satire? Hello? I can't figure this out! Should I be angry or amused? SMH
