Surtur is in dispose at the moment. He is getting a shower and his wheelchair cleaned my laquifa at the moment. Just give him some time
Originally posted by SurturNo, but they're the reason why it's such a popular notion in the west. Why shouldn't it be okay to do as such? If someone ****s you over you, just kill 'em. If you want something someone has, just take it. Those ideas are much more 'rational' than the Christian ideal of actually being a decent person.
Lol Christians don't own the idea of thinking it's wrong to kill or steal for no reason.

This just becomes creepy cuz it comes off like the only reason some aren't murderizing folk is cuz they think an Eldritch abomination has a horrible fate in mind for them if they do.
Originally posted by SurturThe NT gives far better reasons to be a decent person, and it's all summed up in Jesus. The OT is about the terrifying eldritch master, the NT is about humans helping humans to create a better life for everyone. The interesting stuff is in how they're linked, but that's a whole 'nother topic.

You keep going back to the OT. Just fyi this is CHRISTianity, so it's probs better to put more stock in the NT stuff than the OT stuff.

I look at both. I think Jesus was a decent dude. More should try to be like who he supposedly was. He comes off way better than Muhammad. Jesus was at best a douche.
But you can't ignore a supervillain just cuz it tears off a piece of it's soul and it's only sort of a dick and gives people fish.
