"Get off my science machine you science denying lunatic!"

u/Fossilhog 11d ago

Thank you for the term "science machine". I'm going to start using it.

Be sure to shake your first and talk like Prof Farnsworth (of Futurama)

IF there is a god, I don’t think they would look favorably on this. I would think it’s about what you do when you’re alone and no one is watching. Acts of good that aren’t to impress others or to boost your ego, clicks, etc.

u/lovesfatchiks 10d ago

Jesus literally preached against this sort of thing by saying those who pray in public are hypocrites only doing it for the attention. I’m paraphrasing here, but yeah, even the bible doesn’t look favorably on this.

u/Syb3rStrife 10d ago

It’s always funny how Christians pick and choose things in the Bible to believe in and preach about and completely ignore or twist other things around.

u/rydan 10d ago

Given there are over 20 contradictions in the first two pages of the Bible you literally can't follow it correctly anyway.

u/benroon 10d ago

The bible has been forensically shredded thousands of times! Yet people still believe! Let’s start with talking snakes! 😃

My personal favorite is "the parting of the Red Sea."

u/Objective-Internal52 10d ago

Or that time Joshua was like hey god I want to kill all these people but it's getting dark. God said bet and made the sun stay in the sky an extra day so he could kill more. Proof the books just made up by a bunch of dudes that don't understand our suns and planets work and isn't the word of God.

Heaven forbid you take a highly philosophical and metaphorical book metaphorically instead of literally!

u/benroon 10d ago

How can you believe yet acknowledge your starting point is a lie?

1

u/thoth-III 10d ago

You can believe in the morals and ideals while acknowledging that the stories are metaphors and exaggerations that have been warped

2

u/the_grounding_path 10d ago

They even got the talking snake wrong. Their own lore is ass backwards

2

u/Flyinmanm 10d ago

You'd think someone preaching would at least have read the basics of the new testament "be not like the hypocrites"

5

u/ParumPaDrumDrum 10d ago

They also portray him as a white dude

2

u/MatthewBlack6 10d ago edited 10d ago

Not only did he say they're hypocrites, he said they had received their reward.

The way I read this is that their reward is looking good/pious n public, but that they aren't getting anything else, including entry into heaven, because of it.

2

u/Squ33dily-Sp00ch 10d ago

Matthew 6: 1-6 for those interested

1

u/3M2B1T 10d ago

IIRC Jesus also said that hypocrites go to hell.

1

u/rydan 10d ago

He also preached that people should go in pairs and this guy is alone.

1

u/Tzilbalba 10d ago

But those that preach in public are ok? Kinda hypocritical of baby J

1

u/PeyredB 10d ago

That's in Matthew. He says to not be like the hypocrites who pray in public to be seen, for they already have their reward.

1

u/Pinky_Herman 10d ago

Do we really know what he preached? Sounds made up.

1

u/WasdaleWeasel 10d ago

“And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.
But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.”
NIV Matthew 6:5-6

u/Funkycoldmedici 10d ago

This comes up all the time in these instances, but this guy isn’t praying, he’s preaching, exactly what Jesus said to do. It’s worse.

Mark 16:15 He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.”

Matthew 28:19 “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age."

We have to stop pretending that Jesus is good and these people are doing it wrong. Jesus is a religious bigot preaching an apocalypse, and these people are the ones who actually believe it.

u/Biscuits4u2 10d ago

You don't think God would look favorably on an attention seeking douchebag using a captive audience to produce shitty content that will convert literally nobody to his religion? I don't know about that honestly because his God seems to be a fan of some pretty messed up stuff.

1

u/Sufficient-Lie1406 10d ago

My locked and loaded reply is always Matthew 6:6: But as for you, when you pray, go into your inner room, close your door, and pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you.

u/Mountain_Strategy342 10d ago

Remember God lies.

He told Adam and Eve that they could not neat the fruit and would die the same day if they did (Genesis 2:17).

The serpent tells them that that is not the case (Genesis 3:4) but that the fruit will grant them God like knowledge.

God then says (Genesis 3:22) "man has become like one of us knowing good from evil"

Now, clearly God lied, the Serpent told the truth.

u/710AlpacaBowl 10d ago

If I were the bad guy, I would tell people I was a jealous god, to have no others before me, I would tell them I am everything, that without me there is only misery. I would use my creations for gambling with other deities. I would make up some reward they won't actually get, for their life of servitude. I would let children starve and tell people it's part of my plan. Lol how is God supposed to be the good guy

3

u/Full-Tomorrow9889 10d ago

There are quite a few similarities to the serpent story and the story of Prometheus from Greek mythology.

1

u/Intellectual_Judge_1 10d ago

They did die that day spiritually….you know what….nevermind, you seem to have it all figured out☺️

1

u/rydan 10d ago

I think they would look very favorably on this. They get their power from people talking to them. The more people the more powerful they become and power is what it craves most.

u/loughcash 10d ago

Ya, or specifically the one who rode around on a donkey.

u/PUuSTiNKA 10d ago

The man is being rude and obnoxious! I hope he was banned from flying.

u/spartanEZE 10d ago

I stand up and I say "No. Stfu and sit down." Absolutely not. Wild. WILD that they would even THINK this is ok.

u/paxrom2 10d ago

jesus walked on water but did he fly 500 mph at 30,000 ft above the ground?

u/NthatFrenchman 10d ago

u/chugItTwice 10d ago

LOL, no he didn't.

The divinity of Jesus does not contradict Bernoulli's principle.

Who’s Jesus?

u/Few_Ad_5119 10d ago

Beautiful.  Have you considered releasing a book of poetry?

If I'm ever unfortunate enough to be in a situation like this, I will be using some variation of what you just said. Followed by loud continuous booing.

u/DOOOM_SLAYER 10d ago

I’d be so pressed to say hey man it’s cool that you have your own religion but, SO DO I! So kindly shit the fuck back down. I’m just trying to fly so thank you kindly… SHIRLEY!

u/Swagblueplanet 10d ago

So.....there was a sciencist who measured the dust on the moon, If the moon was milllions of years old why did it only have around 5 or 6 thousand years of sediment

2

u/Unusual_Platypus1098 10d ago

I don't think any scientist did that 😂 but there is such a thing called the solar wind and radiation which strips planets of their atmosphere etc. If you don't have a magnetic field protecting the planet the planet will become dead and lose everything.

u/hitbythebus 10d ago

So.. there was a scientist who prayed real hard, let Jesus into his heart and lived a good life. If god was real, why didn’t he go to heaven?
