One of the very first things that happens in the Bible is God canceling Adam and Eve by casting them out of the Garden of Eden. He made a bet with Satan to cancel Job and his family. He canceled the firstborn sons of Egypt, and then he canceled his chosen people by stranding them in the desert for 40 years. He canceled Lot’s wife, Sodom and Gomorrah, Babylon, I could go on…

I find that the most โ€œreligiousโ€ people donโ€™t actually know anything about their religion or read any of their books. They only have their specific form of bigotry, and only search for quotes to support said bigotry.

Didnโ€™t he cancel his own son?

He canceled Lot’s wife into salt for looking back on their home as he was canceling it with fire and brimstone.

You know who didn’t get canceled? Lot. And he offered his virgin daughters to a mob to get raped instead of the angels he was protecting.

God is an interesting fellow.

In the tale of Noah’s Ark what really puzzled me as a young person was how the tale glossed over the drowning of all the people and animals and how the premeditated decision to kill babies and young children was carried out by a supposedly caring being. https://youtu.be/FEe5-geLopM

God has the largest body count of anyone lol

I see signs (always on MAGAt lawns) tbat claim God is pro-life.

Well, except all the times he’s not.

I cancelled God.

Search “smite” and see how many were smote (or turned into a pillar of salt)

God, lol

And God promised us he was going to do it a second time with fire. So we have that hanging over our disobedient heads.

โ€œHeโ€ literally throws people in hell for not figuring out a religious riddle? โ€œHeโ€ condemns most people of an infinity of hellfire/suffering for finite crimes? This is the entire reason we are where we are. Christianity promotes a God that throws people in hell for โ€œnot being rightโ€ but God is all love โค๏ธ So they feel justified in their horrendous behavior

… what? God is a biased actor throughout the entire book and only cleans up his act after he had a kid.ย  He literally cancels people on a whim and even makes them go through trust exercises just to make sure they still obey him (“kill your brother if you RLY love me lol”)

My literal reaction as an 8 year old attending subday school was: “this bitch seems toxic as fuck…”

well, prolly he meant on twitter but not on floods, wrath, hell haha

Well he evicted the first couple from their luxury residence in a manner that would not stand up in court these days.

Letโ€™s not even mention the whole kicking his children out of the house for one infraction. Seriously 1 mistake.

And promised fire next time ๐Ÿ˜‚

He also gives kids cancer

The amount of people quoting the Bible to argue something a Muslim said isโ€ฆ concerning.

Adam and Eve got cancelled first, then Nimrod in the tower of Babel, then this. Let’s not forget how many Cannanites, Edomites, and Termites the Israelites cancelled during the reign of Judges before a King was anointed. David cancelling out Goliath. Or when the Israelites got themselves cancelled a few times by losing their kingdom for over 70 years in Persia. Lot of cancellations there.

God booted Lucifer out of heaven, kicked Adam and Eve out of Eden, razed a city to its foundations and turned anyone who looked back into a pillar of salt, flooded the earth to reset humanity, numerous sins are punishable by death or other forms of removal from society

God’s been on a cancellation spree since the dawn of time, huh? Guess He’s the original influencer.

I donโ€™t think she can say literally lol. None of the shit was ever real to begin with.

God canceled all the firstborn sons of Egypt.

God canceled just about everyone he decided to develop a personal relationship with. And if he wasn’t canceling them, he was outright playing mind games with them and sending them through loyalty trials. Heck, he canceled the first two humans ever because they ate a fruit from a tree that really had no business being within their vicinity because his omniscient ass knew beforehand that their asses was gonna let a talking pool noodle convince them into doing it. More of his mind games and tests. He made them stupid, set up a trap that he knew they’d waltz right into, then let it happen so that he could cancel them and all of their offspring. At one point, he cancels all of Egypt in some rather creative ways, and of course, he canceled the whole world except for one family and a bunch of animals. The man is a loose cannon!

I realize this is just a comment but if you want to understand what was actually happening in these old narratives, and other similar narratives across other cultures, youโ€™ve got to understand that the Bible is not โ€œmonotheisticโ€ as everyone purports. Itโ€™s โ€œHenotheisticโ€ by nature. Henotheism is choosing to worship one God from among gods.

In Genesis we see an agreement to create the world, and humans. And then we see a split, between the โ€œElohimโ€ the plural form of โ€œgod.โ€ We see El and Yehovah El driving two sets of actions.

For example we find El placing the tree in the midst of the garden, and another El โ€œHalelโ€ as the serpent. And then we see Yahweh El confounding the plans of El. El intends to flood the earth, and Yahweh El chooses Noah and his family to preserve the human line, which is completely contrary to Elโ€™s plan, etc.

When we see this clearly, the sort of crazy split personality of the gods becomes much clearer and makes a lot more sense. This trichotomy of โ€œElโ€™s (El, Yahweh El, and Hal-Elโ€ continues until the Book of Joshua, where Joshua gathers all of Israel (the name means โ€œIshโ€ man โ€œRaโ€ struggles with/against โ€œElโ€ God) before the gathered counsel of El and the nation chose Yahweh El to be their God from among the Elohim.

I hope that as you read the Old Testament and understand this tug of war that it will help you in your theological understanding and to make sense of this book whichโ€ฆ without this context becomes a mad attempt to reconcile far too many discrepancies.

literally cancels you to hell

Of course god doesnโ€™t cancel people. Figments of your imagination canโ€™t do anything.

The earth needs a stupid people cleansing.

A lot of first born sons in Egypt would have begged to differ.

God isn’t real, only a fool believes otherwise

Sodom and Gomorrah were cancelled. Folk enjoying themselves too much. God took it personally and destroyed the two cities.

If you believe the myths he made 2 people and cancelled them both for eating an apple.

Yeah he just fucking kills them and holds them in contempt for eternity for shit they canโ€™t control.
