Hence the sucking at it.
Edit: to expand, I’m an atheist and was raised that way and therefore have no personal baggage related to religion and approach it as a historical resource cause I don’t believe it but a fuckload of people did and do. So yknow, I’ve read the Bible before and yeah, these people are fucking terrible Christians and their heresy runs far deeper thsn my own because I just reject God where they distort and pervert Him and His messages. A literal witchfinder general ofnthe colony of Massachusetts Bay in the 1600s would aside from bisexualitiy (which is still kinda up to God to punish cause you’re not supposed to seek vengeance on God’s behalf) I’d be sitting fucking pretty compared to most practicing Christians of this ilk.
i’d say mormonism is the only religion actually doing the core tenets or scripture thing but but they decided black people had souls in the 70s so they’re not doing it either.
whatever idealized version of a religion you think is doctrinally correct is exactly as legitimate as a megachurch
