    In apocryphal gospels, Mary Magdalene was an apostle, and one of the most important ones. In order to believe that the gospels which were compiled to become the bible were “divinely inspired” and not selected (and edited) by the fucking Romans for political reasons, you have to be either dangerously naive or have an agenda.

      Yeah but if you’re already at that point, chances are you’re just going to go a step further and not care about what books were included or not because it’s all bullshit.

        Not all of it is BS. There’s some good stuff in there, like the golden rule.

        It also warns about hypocrites like Trump and MAGA. People who loudly proclaim to be christian, but are the exact opposite through their actions, especially of treating people like dirt (putting it mildly). And of people being led astray by them.

        It’s ironic that these folks who claim to love the Bible are often called out by the Bible. Makes me wonder if they even read it…

          Your God condones (nay, encourages) slavery.

          Inexcusable. The rest of the book is nonsense, but even if you think it isn’t… You can’t rationalize that one away.
