        are you trying to imply that being a fedora’d edgelord is somehow worse than being gullible enough to believe there’s some invisible magical sky wizard watching you diddle yourself?

        LOL the answer to your question is no, but that would be me if the choices were that, or be someone who gets butthurt any time someone belittles jeebus

        enjoy your “family friendly” chick fila tv

        this you?

                who cares? if you think something happens to your “immortal soul” when you die, then fine, that’s your business. honestly one of the most annoying things about christians is this core duty of the “good christian” that “we must convert the entire world to christianity” – excuse me, but gtfo with that shit.

                apologists have been trying to convince the world of this “butbutbut whatabout after you die?!” crap for thousands of years, and guess what–the “evidence” that any of it is true is exactly the same as the “evidence” that harry potter is true i.e., storybooks. i’ve heard it all before dude, and no, i’m not buying it.

                Funeral or wake. Lots of death certificates sent out. Mourning. That kind of stuff. The world will keep turning, though.

          Ah yes, because calling God “santa for adults” is totally reasonable and not belittling. It’s okay when an Atheist does it because daddy dawkins says there is no consequences for my actions! But when a (Trigger warning) xtian does it, oh no no that’s horrible it shows that they’re unreasonable!

            It’s not an unreasonable point of view, when you consider how focused on judgement and divine surveillance Christianity is compared to literally any other religion. Santa, with his list of good and bad boys, who sees you when you’re sleeping, and rewards all the good boys and girls for their belief and behaviour, is very very very clearly influenced by Christian mythology. He might have weaponized it in a most uncharitable way, but you kind of have to own the core criticism.

              So Santa is more like a simplified and false materialist christianity for children?

              Although in Christianity, your works have nothing to do with your salvation. It’s your relationship with Jesus and if you trust Him.

                The Bible is not 100% consistent on whether or not it is important to be a good person. Most people believe it is important or necessary for eternal joy rather than eternal suffering.
