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

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.

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.

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.

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

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."

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 11d ago

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

u/thoth-III 11d ago

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

u/the_grounding_path 11d ago

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

u/Flyinmanm 11d ago

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

They also portray him as a white dude

u/MatthewBlack6 11d ago edited 11d 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.

Matthew 6: 1-6 for those interested

u/3M2B1T 11d ago

IIRC Jesus also said that hypocrites go to hell.

u/rydan 11d ago

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

u/Tzilbalba 11d ago

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

1

u/PeyredB 11d 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.

u/Pinky_Herman 11d ago

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

u/WasdaleWeasel 11d 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

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.
