Imagine that you’re trying to shoot a baby
No I don’t think that I will.
It’s that “I’d commit murder if it wasn’t illegal” mentality. Like “O RLY!?”
In order to verify that this wasn’t a coincidence, I would need to repeat the experiment on multiple babies.
Verification is proof and proof denies faith.
That’s not how the magic sky man deal works.
Okay, that’s great Jesus, but I’m still going to need to poke you in the spear hole before I buy this Third Day Resurrection bullshit.
Brand new sentence.
Saint Thomas has lemmy? Fuck.
Poke… With what?
I figured you’d say you’d use your underpants weevil.
😏
I like the Tim Minchin line from Storm.
Science changes its position based on what’s observed. Faith is the denial of observed truth so that belief can be preserved.
Jesus is fine with giving proof if you need it, he’ll just be disappointed you didn’t trust him bro.
He should have done a better job then.
If you’re shooting because you think there’s something to the rumor you heard, then that’s verification. So you lose.
If you’re shooting for some other reason, wtf? That should itself put you on the bad list.
What if you went back in time and the baby is Hitler?
Then you either allow someone more sane to do worse in the power vacuum, or you get killed by another time traveler trying to prevent that.
And use multiple crosses.
Make one yourself out of 2 sticks and a bit of rope. To rule out the possibility of the amulet just being magical and having nothing to do with any deity.
We would also need to test this across various age ranges.
What do Christians think atheists spend their time doing?
Asking questions. The most vile of sins.
Plotting to murder babies obviously. Post-birth abortions are a thing according to Fox News…no /s
Shooting babies?
Satanic orgies, drugs, dancing and other fun stuff.
Got a few issues with this one.
- Nobody goes out trying to shoot indestructible christian babies with a shotgun. They’re indestructible and shells cost money.
- Is having the cross forcefully removed supposed to make the baby no longer christian, indestructible, or “christian indestructible” (and if so, what’s that?)?
- Would converting therefore involve or require equipping the amulet I’ve looted off the now dead baby? And if so, will I lose my christian indestructibility if I take it off?
In essence, would you change your religion if it gave an attunement bonus to something you wore (and perhaps have looted off a murdered faithful)?
Tbf, it’d be worth the shitload in church tax I’d then have to pay… if it worked. Which is the trouble with these religious relics anyway, eh?
No, but I’d definitely put that necklace on anyway. Not like the baby knew anything about religion, but it still worked for him; should work for me, too.
Cast it into the fire! Destroy it!
No.
Isildooooor!!
Nothing about that cruel suggestion makes any sense. Why did it need to a baby, why can’t it be trying to shoot the idiot making this insane suggestion who volunteers to wear a necklace and be shot.
Counter-offer: same scenario to the ignorant Christian who is shit-posting, but the necklace is of Ra, the Egyptian Sun God. Let’s see if he would convert. Moron.
I mean… Why did the God not protect the baby anymore? Is the crucifix a required magic catalyst or something to get Gods protection? Do we have any known cases where the catalyst was not needed?
I think I’m closer to solving the riddle of Gods power…
Lack of object permanence. The baby stopped being a Christian when the crucifix was gone
Yeah and how do you know it’s not “the devil’s” necklace or some demon or god isn’t real and it’s all demons. With religious logic you have nothing real to stand on to test reality.
Why did the God not protect the baby anymore
The entire bible is about a Father who says “Look at what you made me do!”
On the other hand, the devil never really did anything bad.
What do you mean he didn’t do anything bad?!?!? He convinced some chick to steal an apple. That’s like in the top 3 worst things you can ever do.
She didn’t do anything bad. The apple didn’t belong to anyone.
The whole story is about God gaslighting them to believe that they should be punished for violating arbitrary rules.
They get weirdly intricate with their baby death fantasies
It’s almost like they’re getting it. Yes, fools, if I was shown direct evidence for your imaginary friend in the sky, I might conclude that they do in fact exist. Bring out the babies and the shotguns, by all means.
Why would I be shooting a baby with a shot gun?
I’m an evil atheist, but Christians want to shoot babies with shot guns. Seems legit.
What the even fuck is this
Needs a Christian to even come up with the idea to shoot at a baby…
No. I’d just wear the cross to become invincible.
This is good news. I can be a bee. I can live like a pet. I can live for 30 years.
Just because the amulet of protection in the shape of a crucifix doesn’t mean it has anything to do with god. Wizards are mischievous.
Yeah, put that shit on before the fuzz arrives.
you’re trying to shoot an indestructible christian baby
I really want to know why I would be trying to shoot said baby in the first place. Is it the antichrist? Am I being blackmailed? Is this some sick bet?
