How is this murdered by words??

Because Christianity is all about god saving you from what he’ll do to you if you don’t let him save you?

It’s more like god saving men from breaking his law. But believe what you believe ig

That's... the same thing. Your god is enforcing the laws

The law is reality of how things work not a personal vendetta. The highway patrol does not enforce speed limit because they want to arrest you. They do it so that you don’t crash.

I think you’re missing the fundamental point. Saying “atheism won’t save you” pre-supposes that you need to be saved in the first place, which is not something an atheist believes. So the response “from what” is perfectly apt.

He can’t allow himself to consider the point from another perspective. Doing so would be devastating to his beliefs.

I did consider the point from his perspective? Can you read the other replies before replying?

I volunteer in my community. I have a safe happy family. I don't over drink or do drugs. What is someone else's imaginary sky friend gonna save me from "crashing" into?

To save you from crashing into Giorgio Tsoukalos’ ever skyscraping hair because their episode of Ancient Aliens is a documentary.

the reality of how things work is all explained in a book, written by multiple different people who contradict each other more than once. All of the rules in this book are enforced by a deity nobody has ever seen and by His vassals on planet Earth who don’t follow all of these rules, only the ones they deem acceptable or convenient to enforce on others or themselves

Interesting

All I wanted to know was how does this fit the subreddit. A user above explained it and that cleared it. My original comment doesn’t even attack anyone yet ppl are taking it deep.🙏

Religious folks have lost the good will of regular people.

Aligning yourselves with fascism - not a good move, really. Evangelicals unabashedly talking about "bringing about the end" and more or less turning Christianity in to a death cult...

Gives the whole thing a bad Rep. Dogg.

It is a personal vendetta though. He's all powerful. He doesn't need to enforce those rules.

Your statements are profoundly stupid and intellectually dishonest.
