It doesn’t matter. it’s just an intellectual conversation that is fun to do a ton of introspection on. I love when Christians ask me about my worldview too and where I get my morals comparatively. It’s a joy to constantly learn tbh!!

There’s a ton of hypocrisy within the religious texts of Christianity, which is really what I meant. Even particularly with Jesus himself, but I’m specifically talking about the whole of the texts and not just those written after Jesus died.

Your initial post gives the impression that you’re less interested in introspection and more interested in the pleasure of challenging what you perceive as hypocrisy in someone else’s beliefs. Theres nothing wrong with questioning someone’s worldview, but there’s a difference between genuinely wanting to understand another perspective and simply wanting to prove someone wrong. So it’s why I ask, what’s the point?

It literally is hypocrisy though it’s not perceived. God can’t be all-loving, and also kill everyone on the planet and command Moses to murder all the Midianites. God can’t be all-knowing, if he regrets making humans. God can’t be all good and just, if he suggests slavery is not only okay but tells them HOW to do slavery lol

My point is that I don’t see why someone’s personal beliefs should matter so much to you if they’re not imposing those beliefs on anyone else You’re more interested in exposing said hypocrisy’s rather than finding mutual introspection (as you stated above), I find this to be a waste of one’s time

Like I said, I’m just interested in people and curious about their beliefs. They can ask me the same shit no problem if they’d like. I’m not going around judging people so making them feel some type of way. If they’re knowledgeable and they’re game, we can discuss it for fun! Fun isn’t a waste of time. It’s a lot like discussing phylogeny in biology to me tbh. Abrahamic religions are just a phylum or class of religion imo. You’re allowed to find it a waste of time so you don’t have to partake!

Jesus referred to a woman as a dog when she asked for food in Matthew 15:21-28 which is… not great. The supposed flood killed tons of innocent babies and children so God therefore does not love children unconditionally, nor is that justice in any way so he is not just. Not only that, but holy shit Numbers 31:1-18 is a big fat yikes. 😬 Also, Leviticus 25:44-46 condones slavery and Exodus 21 describes how to treat those slaves… which is NOT great or anything positive at all. 🥲

Genuinely thank you for asking though! I don’t think the Christian belief is inherently hypocritical, but the book itself definitely is which can be frustrating when someone swears the whole thing is the truth. Some people suggest it’s even a historical & factual text, like it’s contemporary. I find that fascinating and I enjoy talking to those people about it and why they think that way (besides the usual that’s how it’s always been type of vibe)
