    True, but one of the few things it isn’t unclear or downright self-contradictory about is that the main dude said to help the poor and otherwise marginalised people.

    Absolutely not true. “The main dude” did all kinds of fucking heinous shit, up to and including genocide of the entire human race.

    As an atheist who’s actually read the damn thing rather than just gotten the perspectives of conservative preachers and politicians, I’m not pretending.

    It doesn’t matter if you’ve “actually read the damn thing” because as I’ve already explained, it doesn’t make any fucking sense and has no principles.

    You can do what Christians do and cherry-pick passages that affirm your current beliefs, or what you want to believe, but then you’re using the same flawed logic they are where you ignore giant swaths of contradictory statements.

      Show us all the verses that contradict the help the poor message, then, since you’re so smart.

        I already have. Do you consider genocide of the entire human race “helping the poor”?

          What does genocide have to do with contradicting the message of helping the poor? Explain your whole thought process and logic.
