THIS book is where you get your morality from?

 The story of Abraham being told to sacrifice Isaac is certainly fucked up. God tells a man to kill his own son, makes the kid carry the wood that will be used to burn his corpse, and then at the last moment shouts "Sike! I just wanted to make sure you're loyal to me, go ahead and kill that goat instead."

But: This story, though certainly fucked up, isn't even in the top ten list of fucked up things in that book. 

There's also the time that God sent bears to maul a bunch of children for calling a prophet "baldy". 

And the time God had his son tortured to death because he was pissed off about the behavior of everyone EXCEPT his son. 

And the time a dude vowed to sacrifice the first living thing he saw, and when that turned out to be his daughter he went ahead and sacrificed her because he was less horrified by that than by breaking a rash vow. 

And the time Jacob tried to marry Rachel, ended up with her sister Leah because her dad tricked him, then went ahead and had ten kids with his girlfriend's sister while he worked to buy his girlfriend. 

And the times God told his people to kill every man, woman, child and animal in a city... in his mercy. 

And the time God drowned not only every man, woman, and child on the planet, but also every animal, for the sins of adult humans. (But left behind ONE family to incest their way into re-populating the earth). 

And the time God killed every firstborn child in an entire country (and Mr. Omniscient couldn't tell which kids he should and shouldn't kill unless the door was painted with blood). 

And the time a dude sent his concubine out to be gang-raped to death so it wouldn't happen to his guest, then cut the corpse into pieces and sent them to all the tribes of Israel, starting a war that almost ended in annihilating an entire tribe. 

And the time God burned an entire city to the ground (children too), and turned a woman into a pillar of salt just for looking at it. 

And the time a lady and her friend ate her son during a famine, then the first lady was pissed at her friend when the second lady wouldn't give up her own son after they finished eating the first kid. 

And God condemning his beloved children to eternal torment for the hideous offense of eating an apple because they wanted knowledge. 

And... know what, just pick any page at random that isn't Jesus telling powerful people to stop being assholes to powerless people, and chances are good that you'll find something fucked up.

The Baby in the bathwater?

Image
A Christian minister asked a Christian president, who was elected by Christians for Christian reasons, to behave in accordance with Christian principles. And yet, the majority of the country's Christians are mad about it. And despite that, the rest of the nation's Christians continue to insist that there's a "real" Christianity that somehow the majority of Christians are failing to practice despite the fact that those Christians make their whole personality about how Christian they are. The decent humans that still adhere to Christianity - who are very much the minority of Christians - continue to believe that Christianity has an actual moral core and a message that can make its adherents behave in a more moral way. They continue to tell me that there's a baby I've thrown out with the bathwater by rejecting Christianity in its entirety.  And I get it. I used to think the same, for decades. I would "no true Scotsman" every Christian who behaved im...

On Kilmar Abrego Garcia, Evangelical Republicans, and Judas Iscariot

Earlier today, I posted this on Facebook: "Tonight, for Maundy Thursday, Christians all over the world will commemorate a time when an innocent man who had done nothing more than criticize people in power was imprisoned and ultimately executed without due process, due in large part to a mob of religious people demanding his destruction and claiming he was a danger to the rule of the emperor. And 80 percent of American Evangelicals will never, EVER realize that they are the Judas in this story." But on further reflection, I realized that this was unnecessarily harsh and insulting. ... ...to Judas. After all, Judas realized almost immediately that he had done something monstrous, something unforgiveable, and felt such remorse at the enormity of his betrayal that he could no longer live with himself. But Evangelical Republicans lack the moral clarity of JUDAS FUCKING ISCARIOT. No, they're something far worse. They're the crowd chanting "Crucify him!" and "...

A matter of principle

Ever since November of 2016, the question has haunted me: How did the conservative Evangelicals I grew up with so thoroughly lose their principles? And the correct answer is: They never had principles.  But for once, I don't intend that as an insult. I mean this as a distinction between two different ways of looking at morality. Evangelicals never had principles; they had RULES. Because that's how their churches train them to think. They (along with the Catholics, who have fallen into the same error) are religious fundamentalists. They don't treat morality as a set of flexible guidelines that can and should change over time; they treat morality as a set of rules that are "the same yesterday, today, and forever". If the Bible said it in 2000 BCE, then it's still binding 4 millennia later (except if there's another rule that negates it, such as the "no bacon" thing being negated by Peter's vision in Acts).  But there wasn't a "That wa...
