I'm not very active on any of my social media profiles. I lurk mostly. I checked out Facebook this morning, and I am sickened by the number of my "friends" posting conspiracy theories. People I grew up with are attacking children.
These good "christian" folks are spreading vile & hateful lies. My 1st thought was to post some of those commandments they love & warn them all that I was going to unfriend them.
I've decided to just start purging. I still may post Exodus 30:16 first.
@Srtolar You might want to add Matthew 16:26 as well.
@starbreaker @Srtolar The Old Testament should hold no power over Christians. As I have come to understand it, the OT’s sole purpose for Christians is to provide perspective of why the NT exists and why Jesus came to be. The amount of hatred and violence in the OT is staggering. There are rarely situations where it provides a positive message.
The one core message of the NT is that which replaces the 10 commandments: do to others as you would have them do to you.

@feld @starbreaker @Srtolar the toxicity of modern organized Christianity under the guise of Catholicism, etc is really the worst representation of the message. Especially as there is not supposed to be any proselytizing (looking at you Mormons, Jehovas, etc). The message was meant to be spread through action: treat others well, and they’ll feel good and do the same.
Anyway, hope things go better for you. I’m just a friendly internet atheist 🙃

@starbreaker @Srtolar very true.
