Interpretive authority = trust don’t verify. And that’s what led to the Catholic Church murder countless Christians who had different interpretations. Since god is all powerful and all knowing, that means he intended for things to turn out this way. That doesn’t sound like a religion of love. Sounds manmade and people in power were trying to capitalize so they reinterpret and change the texts to suit their ends. As all religions do.

yeah big yikes, the pedo club in rome "guaranteed" the canon while wiping elbows with the blood of everyone who said "bro that passage's mistranslated af" 🙄

funny thing: we have better cryptographic proof that satoshi wasn't the pope than that the gospel manuscripts haven't been meddled with.

even marmot giftwrap improves on "trust don't verify" 😂

Love doesn't presume specific outcomes. God did not intend for people to kill other people.

Maybe he did.

We have free will.

What we let be, we will to be.

Allowing something to happen is not neutral—it’s a tacit form of intention.

Nonsense. I don't want you to be gay, but I can't stop you.

You can’t because you’re not God.

Huh. I didn't know you were gay. Sorry. I hope I didn't offend...

But why wouldn’t you want me to be happy?

Umm... Be happy.

🙃

Gay means happy lol he missed it.

Better question, why make people gay and then send people to hell for the way they were created?

😄

I think the church’s stance is homosexuality is a choice. 🫣

Yeah which makes it sound worse when those pastors touch little kids
