I mean, if you wanna talk about the multiple books that I’ve read about Judaism and early christianity this year, I’m down.
One was about Jesus as a messianic Jewish preacher. Another was about how he went from messiah to God after his death. Another was about how he ingeniously social-engineered his way to the cross because he believed he was the messiah because he was so clever that he was able to make it happen. Another is about the author’s thesis that he was never intended to be seen as a historical person and that he always existed in heaven but was crucified in the firmament between heaven and earth but then the new idea developed. That’s half so far.

Deadass, it seems like atheist communities are full of these vibes

Like I was that kid once, but grow up please

Well maybe many of those communities are actually filled with 14 year olds

they absolutely are. Where else can a teen growing up in a religious family and forced to attend church/mosque/temples vent their frustration, and they are definitely going to be edgy about it, that’s what being teen is about after all

If you don’t let your inner 14 year old atheist out every once in a while what’s the point?

That is a real possibility and it’s good (but hard) to keep it in mind when communicating online.

Yes.

Can confirm, was an edgy atheist when I was 14 then real life managed to chill me the fuck out.
