I’ve seen Christians argue that good works should be from the individual not from the government. “But God acted to put this government in place so you can act” typically isn’t compelling, because they just make up stuff to justify what they wanted to do anyway.
Right, they need to think of the government as separate and not subject to the moral principles of religion, unless of course it is something that hurts people they like, in that case it’s a moral imperative that the government act. Somehow. They’ll explain it in the dumbest fucking way possible and act like you’re the problem when you point out what a fucked up cop out it is.
I know this is the atheism community but a part of me always will think that religion is not the problem here, it’s terrible people using it as an excuse to do shitty things. They don’t need it to really make sense, but sound just logical enough to the dumbed down masses to gain traction and pressure even some of the smarter people into thinking in these toxic ways.
Having been forced to study the Bible as a child is so frustrating now.
It’s like “you’re not even doing the evil things you signed on for the right way!”
