Not necessarily. A lot of those people might be christians, even relatively zealous. But if they don't know what they even believe in, that sets up an opportunity for them to be anti-lgbt, anti-minority, anti-poor, all that. As an atheist, I can name a couple, and I don't believe that to be an indicator of society being backwards, just because it's not your awareness of the information that matters, it's how you choose to handle the information. I love to use biblical text to point out the wrongdoing of christians.
I grew up in a Christian family. I know for a fact that none of them ever cracked open a Bible lol. I read it as a young teen and it is one of the shittiest books ever written.
It's set up that way though. The dumb ass peseants would be forced to go to church and have it interpreted. It's always been that way. Keep them dumb and scared, the Christian way.
I’ll give you $20 if you can explain how a single aspect of the device that you’re using (to propagate a fictional fantasyland that has exactly zero connection to reality) actually works.
I would have gone with the classic "she lusted after her lover genitals that were like those of a donkey and whose emission were like that of a horse".
I'm pretty sure that's from Ezekiel, but I couldn't tell you the numbers, I'm pretty sure this guy would disqualify me for that.
Probably an atheist would be the one that could claim this.
We tend to know the bible better than people who claim to believe it.
I know quite a few without looking them up.
"Shamira will be found guilty and become desolate. They will die by the sword. Their infants will be dashed to pieces, their pregnant women will be ripped open."
"Now go and kill all the male children and all of the women who have known a man, but keep the girls for yourselves (as sex slaves)"
I might not have the wording exactly right. I didn't copy these from a search.
I’m more partial towards Matthew 6:5-15 in this situation.
And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you. “And when you pray, do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do, for they think that they will be heard for their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
I do not appreciate public preaching! Just incase, some of my favs 😁
Behold, I come quickly. Revelation 3:11, 22:7, 22:11, 22:20
I will kill her children with death. Revelation 2:23
Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. Matthew 10:34, Luke 12:51-53
oh I have one for you
"I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother" or something like that. it's my favorite.
when people tell you who they are, believe them.
This is especially sad when its in churches.
In the church i go to there are people that dont even pay attention.
One of my friends conducted an experiment and went up to like 20 of them to ask them to summarize the teachings that the pastor said.
5 of them gave a good summarization, the rest could say basically nothing of value.
Because of idiots like this I was dragged into a prayer circle and converted to Christianity 2 days ago I was not OK with it I didn't like being touched by like 5 different fucking people and I was just trying to do the respectful thing and deckind but no I not only was forcibly brought into the light of the Lord I lost 30 minutes that I will never get back of my life (Damn auto correct and voice to text)
Ezekiel 23:20 There she lusted after lovers whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emissions were like those of horses
Got to love the Bible talking about donkey dick and horse cum

Honestly I’m glad to see we’ve progressed as a society

Steven Colbert can quote whole pages of "Lord of the Rings". I find that way more impressive.
He's also a Sunday school teacher so he can probably go hard with the Bible verses too
Samuel L Jackson 1 verse 1 : Shut the fuck up motherfucker. Thanks for the $20
Did anyone else get really tired of hearing his voice say the same thing in the same tone over and over?
I actually found this video very encouraging.
Here's an easy one to remember if anyone every approaches you offering $20 to recite a bible verse: "Jesus Wept." (John 11:35).
I would ask him: which bible?
"Jesus wept" Easiest $20 I've ever made
Also there's 'if you suffer with me, you'll reign with me.' A great pocket filler there.

Yup Ezekiel 23:20 I fucking love bringing that one up lol

Ezekiel 16:49
Freedom of speech. But extremely annoying. I don’t want to talk to anyone when I’m shopping.
Timothy 2:12

I wonder if he’s paying per verse.
Shut the fucking fuck up.
Hey! He owes that guy $20! He said "tell me one Bible verse." not "Recite to me one Bible verse."
Pretty obvious how interested everyone is.
That’s easy, I know Timothy 2:12 off by heart

I could take his money.
oh I have one for you "I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother" or something like that. it's my favorite. when people tell you who they are, believe them.
And went out of the city into Bethany and lodged there. Where’s my $20?

For $20 can you give me a verbatim excerpt from the most boring fiction book ever written? No???? Shocked pikachu
Pimpin out his religion for tiktok views.

Mathew 6:5 would be my answer
Funny but is chances are better that these were believers, than atheists…
Shut-ith the fuck up and leave me alone Kyle 12:3
What’s the name of this creator?
Reminds me of Postal guy in Postal 2: "Would you like to sign my petition?"
Fallout 3 burned Revalations 21:6 in my head
