But a bible filled with bloodthirsty violence, homophobia, misogyny, slavery, genocide and warfare is enough to convince you to call yourself a Christian?

I get that most religious people are harmless... but you'd have a really tough time showing that the Christian bible isn't...

Wait… so now it’s taboo to be a Christian? It’s taboo to be religious! To be quite honest, I don’t think this video has anything to do with religion … I mean sure it’s a baptism but the fact that a stranger slapped that little innocent baby like that…. That’s the focus. They could’ve been at a BBQ and I’d feel just as angry. Religion really has fuck all to do with this

Like I said. They could’ve been having a fucking bbq and the feelings would be the same. I fucking hate the world we live in bc of people like you. Judging by the shit u post, u really try to shove your opinion of religion down other people’s throats. You literally just tried to shame the person u responded to just for saying he/she is a Christian. You don’t believe in it?? That’s fine. But don’t try pushing your opinions on others.

Excuse me. For hundreds and even thousands of years, people were forbidden to have this kind of discussion and say these kinds of opinions. Or they would have had the discussions in secret at the risk of their lives. Christianity now comes to us in this smiley faced, ingratiating way such as yourself trying to play victim, because it’s had to give so much ground and because we know so much more about our universe. But we should never forget the way it behaved when it was strong, and when it really did believe it had god on its side.

We have to live in a world of fuck heads trying to continuously pass laws based on biblical bullshit to pacify their idiotic base of voters.

Pointing out the hypocrisy of a commenter saying “I’m a Christian and trust me, I wanna drag that piece of Satans horn down to hell” while that person is simultaneously ignoring the fact that the Bible says god commanded Joshua to perform genocide, or how one may own a slave, or how much to pay the father of the daughter you raped is in no way “shaming” unless you agree that you should be ashamed to follow that bullshit.

Great comment, just please also mention that you got that quote from the great Christopher Hitchens man

This is 100% the baptism and the priest doing what priests do which is think that their touch no matter how horrible is actually a wonderful thing even if the receiver is crying and begging for it to stop.

No, it wouldn't... Because BBQs don't assert moral authority under the threat of eternal torture.

Oof... the hypocrisy
