Narrator: "They didn't."
See, they even blame their own religions for their hatred. Abolish religion
The clearest proof that the God of the New Testament doesn't exist is that He was unable to formulate the Bible in such a way that it wouldn't get co-opted by people with an agenda that runs contrary to His central message of tolerance and compassion.
Why would God divinely inspire writers to write down the story he wants to tell, but not divinely inspire it to be copied and transmitted reliably. There are hundreds of thousands of differences between various biblical texts.
Someone says that the Bible is literal truth. The only question then becomes which version of the Bible?
Bart Ehrman goes into great detail in his YouTube channel.
Not so fast. By my calculation, this means the Christian god is still 66% not racist. That’s not the best percentage, but it’s still a majority. /s
What?
God was all about wiping out entire ethnic groups due to the minor sleights of a few members.
At best Trinity Megazord is 33% not racist
Yeah but all that that was so long ago. Are you implying that an ever-omnipotent and omnipresent god that exists outside of time and space can’t change?

You don't "blame" the holy spirit. That means she's saying one of the incarnations of God wanted her to do it. That's like saying God is a Nazi.
well he DID kill a large amount of Jews?
This but unironically. God is pretty much a supernatural fascist tyrant

or Hitler was divinely inspired
I always love how Christians regularly freak out about the idea that "blasphemy of the Holy Spirit" is canonically the only unforgivable thing they can do, but then rationalize it as some amorphous thing that's just not believing enough such that they go on to claim the Holy Spirit does all sorts of shit.
"The Holy Spirit supervised the creation of the Bible so it's inerrant (even though the majority of scholars think things like 1 Timothy are unquestionably forgeries)."
"The Holy Spirit moved me to post Nazi memes - I was an unwilling vessel."
If that shit really is unforgivable I'd imagine the vast majority of Christians are in for a surprise down the road...
Who had "The Holy Spirit Defense" on their descent into fascism bingo card?
"When Fascism comes to America*, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross."
* or Canada, apparently.

The other holy trinity: the father, the son, and Adolf Hitler
Hmm... Christian theologians have spent centuries debating whether the components of the Trinity have the same essence, substance, nature, personality, etc.—but have they considered whether they share the same ideology? What if Jesus is a socialist but the Holy Ghost is a fascist?
What if Jesus is a socialist
Everything in the bible about Jesus makes him sound like a socialist...
But that doesn't keep church leaders in funny hats and gold. So the stories changed over the last couple thousand years
To be fair, it's mainly the Catholic church that has the "funny hats and gold" thing going on. Protestants are all about the expensive suits and private jets.
Don't want to be stuck with demons in a metal tube...
If anyone on this planet is a demon in a human suit, it is 100% that creepy asshole.

And oddly, the funny hats and gold guys have been relatively progressive lately. Definitely a shit history, but certainly better than their modern suits and jets competition

Monique has decided to play the victim card, wailing about "cancel culture."
Again facing repercussions for your actions is not "cancel culture".
Well, if they are claiming God made them do it. Maybe we should look to the bible for their punishment.
So apparently she, member of the board of Red Deer Catholic Regional Schools in Alberta, Canada, posted a meme comparing pride activism to nazi activism, like they're "both brainwashing". The board stripped her of her committee duties and she's now lawyered up in response to sue other Christians about it with the claim that she's the real victim here, that this infringes on her right to express her faith like every other normal Christian.
Oh honey, when you use your faith as a shield for your politics and your politics equivocate oppressors with those you want to see oppressed, you've just told the world that God is, in your image, a fascist. 🍿 🤡

Only in Americ.... wait, what? Canadians are supposed to be better than this. :shocked picachu:
Canadians are just as fucked as the rest of us. Just look at how they treated (and STILL treat) indigenous peoples.
Who told you that? I live in Canada and it's full of assholes up here. Tons of Trumper, Confederate flag waving types.
These people confuse me. Why are you trying so hard to betray a country you aren't part of?
They're just shitty people that have had their shitty beliefs validated
I thought they were eh'holes?

"Brainwashing is brainwashing" according to a Catholic school board member. As in those schools whose entire purpose is to indoctrinate children into the Catholic faith from a young age.
There’s no point in arguing with these people. Faith and superstition is much more flexible than logic. They will always believe they’re right. The absolute best we can hope for is empty lip service that does a passable job of imitating rationality.
Either provide proof of this "holy spirit" or fuck all the way off.
We don't have freedom of speech in Canada, it's Freedom of Expression, which limits hate speech among other nasty things. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_expression_in_Canada
Think of it like a built-in Paradox Tolerance solution!
So the Holy Spirit is a Nazi? Good to know I guess.
He works for the Celestial Fascist, so yes.
The holy Spirit gave me devastating diarrhea, it's its responsibility to clean it up.
Not the first person who hears voices in her head, only this was the supreme commander of the universe, who MUST be obeyed.
That Holy Spirit be pretty sneaky
