I thought the last one's gonna be "— Gays? — I dunno they kinda appeared all by themselves"

They're actually fine with children dying because it means they get to go to heaven early, plus the adversity it causes their loved ones is beneficial. I'm serious, they told me this when I asked as a kid.

This is one of the many reasons why I don't get their arguments against abortion. An abortion is just a baby's e-ticket to heaven.

No it’s not- scripture says the soul enters at its first breath. Their arguments are nonsensical because they can’t really argue the real reasons.

They’re opposed to abortion because they want people- specifically the poors, and specifically the black poors- to have to have that kid. Unplanned/unwanted kids provide a huge economic strain on the family, and greatly reduce the ability of the other kids to succeed in life.

This means they’re more likely to continue a tradition of low wage blue collar jobs, or even better, get in on the school-to-prison pipe and provide more or less free labor for ages.

(Of course the other reason is the raging misogyny.)

It’s also the same reason why they’re so against social safety nets, universal health care and public education.

Then why do they want medical treatment, when their injuries bring them closer to their end goal: heaven?

Something something suicide leads to hell.

Better question is why wouldn't parents immediately sacrifice their newborns on the Blood Altar? I can only go to hell once but I could sire many children and give them all a guaranteed ticket to heaven. Actually, I could even take a shortcut and blow up a maternity.

... now that I think abkjt it, I guess some fundamentalist lunatics have probably already done it, and now I'm sad.

There are a few religions that refuse forms of medical treatment. I agree with what you're saying, but it isn't unheard of

This is why the pagan/Roman/greek gods made a lot more sense. They were all arseholes who didn't care about you.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Hera cared. Hera cared a lot.

Not that was a good thing. she cared because Zeus would come down as an animal and rape hot humans, so she cared an awful lot about people. So she could torture them.
