    Why would you go to hell for wishing a better world for basically everyone other than the ultra rich? Good meme but wrong community imo

      Because the christian god is basically satan, kills people left and right, tortures you for eternity for the stupidest reasons etc.

        This is not wrong, but they also believe when “Jesus died for our sins”, he freed souls from hell and basically opened a pathway out of hell. So everyone (or some believe just Christians or babtised ppl) will go to heaven and their sins will be forgiven.

        So interestingly, Gnosticism is basically a take on Christianity that makes Satan the good guy in the story for exactly this reason. He’s essentially just trying to get people to think for themselves and question this despotic creator. The forbidden fruit in the Bible is said to grant “the knowledge of good and evil” so why the fuck wouldn’t you want that?

            Someone who puts up an apple that gives you enormous bonuses and forbids you to take it, but also allows you to do it just like that, will just add something else if you don’t fall for it.

            Actually, the banana will grant incredible sex, but it’s forbidden too. As for the orange…

        Wasn’t there a thing in the Bible about Satan seducing people to his side? What if that was what happened and God is Satan after all.

        But also religion is fake.
