    Not all X-ians believe that, but feeding your own kid to an idiotic religious mob so they can have him tortured to death by the government is really fucked up. I think their invisible, tyrannical, despotic sky wizard needs to go into family counseling either way.

        I wonder if Bible ever says God is the good guy

        He’s almighty, and that’s why people follow Him without question, but is He good?

          The Torah, the Psalms endlessly praise God as being “good”, the word of the Lord being “perfect” etc

          Eg from biblehub.com concordance. References to God being called one of the words for “good”…

      You can tell it is fake because an omnipotent being required the torture of an unrelated party before it cleared a wholly fictitious debt. That’s some mafia shit.
