"So what about the fossil record?"

"Dude. God put fossils in the ground to test our faith."

"No. I think God put YOU here to test MY faith."

I mean, have you read the tenets of Satanism? Pretty darn convincing. Call me a devil's advocate.

The difference when a cult grounds on logic and reasoning instead of on an ancient high-fantasy-book which makes no sense from beginning to end. But was probably a cool read some centuries ago. Still, admittedly, the greatest way to control the sheeples and keep them in line.

If I'd be forced at gunpoint to choose a religion, I'd pick them. Or buddhists.

Buddhists get a little murdery sometimes too.

I know, i know. But of all the misogynistic, supressive silly retrograde murder-cults, those are the least misogynistic, supressive silly retrograde murder-cults. At least they have some actual wisdom to share, not stories about a whole incest-species with a base-gene-pool of an estimated two people of which one even was made out of the first one.

Long story short: Yes. Fuck them too. Just a lil less.

I might be missing something here but how do we know precisely what 4bil. years of random mutations looks like?

Your nick is pure poetry. I stand here in admiration.

Brevity is the soul of wit.

[–] infinite_ass@leminal.space 7 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

Thanks. It was indeed absurdly verbose. These clowns who downvote you suffer from 2 tinfoil ears.

"your joke but worse"

[–] gofsckyourself@lemmy.world 50 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That's a different joke, now.

[–] poke@sh.itjust.works 54 points 1 day ago

Also removes the joke of the kid having more complex thoughts.

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago

But now it's not a sendup of the Watchmaker's Paradox.

Do cows not match their 4 billion year chain of evolution?

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 6 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago) (1 children)

Not the cows humanity fiddled with.

They promised they wouldn't say anything.

[–] WraithGear@lemmy.world 26 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They do! But the Christian argument is that Satan tied them into his plot to trick people as well.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 45 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Satan's plan sounds awesome. They won't even tell me what God's plan is. Just that he has one. Does he have a plan? Or does he just have the concept of one? 🤔

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

honestly when you read the bible god is pretty relatable, he's kinda just proud of having literally created everything (including evil, isaiah 45:7) and wants to be worshipped for it, and gets angry when you don't worship him for having literally created everything by himself.
It all makes more sense when you drop the idea that god is arbitrarily perfect and good.

I can't say i'd do better with absolute power of creation and having to literally create the concept of existence on my own. If we're created in the image of god then frankly it's a wonder we're as friendly as we are.

[–] WraithGear@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I don’t know, i read the Bible. Those stories aren’t the flex god thinks they are.

[–] Benjaben@lemmy.world 3 points 22 hours ago

Pshaw, let's see you or your deity turn someone into a pillar of salt for looking the wrong way, fuck yeah Team God!
