I couldn’t see myself as a once a week, hold hands and sing kind of believer. If I genuinely believed that I was following a god that had his teachings written up, surely it’d be my duty to study those, right? How could someone believe in an immortal soul and not actually care about where that belief came from?
So not that I’d become more ethical, but that I’d feel the pull to become more ethical, and that this picture would have a more personal response. I don’t think Christians are any more moral than anyone else, but I don’t understand the ones who simultaneously believe they follow the teachings of a man who drove out the moneylenders from his temple and whose eyes gloss over things like this without finding it distasteful.
Why would you find it distasteful when your god and religion follow YOUR biases and desires. Its not a coincidence that God hates the types of people conservatives hate. They mold their god to fit their view as justification for ignoring that their views are harmful. They dont see it as consumerism or capitalism, its all about shoving their views down others throats because everyone else are "evil".
