Almost like God isn’t real and was made up by humans to control people.
I’m sure it wasn’t made to control people, I think it was made to explain stuff they didn’t understand and became a tool of control later
You don’t say?
What if He was just a meme that got out of control?
What if God was one of us?
Just a memer on a bus
God must answer for his crimes, and he now has a physical address.
For sloth, the dude worked for one week and didn’t do squat after that.
To be fair though, according to the book he did like everything during that one week.
Burnout is real folks
Based.
Not defending god here but afaik the 7 deadly sins come from the divine comedy
Edit: It appears I was mistaken. They are just not directly mentioned in the bible.
but it is ultimately completely pointless. someone(or rather many someones) made up the OG bible canon and some fanfics are becoming almost canon by being well known. same difference
Revelation is one of the most quoted judeo-christian texts, and I recently learned that it was written as a fanfic and it took the fandom a surprisingly long time to recognise it as part of the official lore.
Yeah, they aren’t biblical, basically just Christian fanfiction
The term isn’t found in the bible,but there are plenty of references to the sins.
Mark 7:20-23 (NLT) 20 And then he added, ‘It is what comes from inside that defiles you. 21 For from within, out of a person’s heart, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, 22 adultery, greed, wickedness, deceit, lustful desires, envy, slander, pride, and foolishness. 23 All these vile things come from within; they are what defile you.’
Proverbs 6:16 - 19 (KJV)
These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood
An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief
A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren
God created hell so we can one day drag his psychotic ass there.
Not sure the gluttony thing is right. Has God ever been described eating literally anything?
Don’t forget… Gamboling is a deadly Sin… Proceeds to fuck with Lot to win a bet
If you read the old testament in particular, god never denies the existence of other gods, only that he’s the best one. Yahweh was actually just one god in an ancient pre Jewish pantheon. He was like Dionysus, a god of harvest and wine and rebirth. Different tribes had different chief gods, but all accepted the existence of the others. Just happened over time that the people who worshipped Yahweh were the only ones left and it became a monotheistic religion.
I’m sure back in the day, those gods were more similar to Greek gods, flawed and monstrous, and entities to fear. That’s why the old testament god is such a psychopath.
Note that the seven deadly sin isn’t present in the bible, and is a later addition.
Yep. The whole idea of seven deadly vices and seven heavenly virtues is a Christianization of the Ancient Greek ideas of virtues and vices. There really isn’t a direct connection to the Bible.
