        Yeah. Arabic Christians literally call their God “Allah” too.

          It’s all the same invisible sky daddy anyway, just interpreted through different hallucinations 🤷

              That you’ve been doing something ridiculous for a long time doesn’t make it any less stupid. Quite the opposite.

              Also, this is Lemmy, not Reddit.

                  Holy strawman, Batman!

                  I’m very far from being a nihilist. I believe in things that can actually be verified. I believe in some people and some ideals.

                  I just don’t base my beliefs on self-contradictory and often batshit insane orders from long dead idiots and wielders of unearned authority pretending to represent a fictional being that’s its own dad.

                    In another comment you kept linking Christianity with paedophilia, which is a big strawman. And trying to ask me why I didn’t drown nonce priests like I am in charge of a completely different denomination which I am not even a member of.

      Ah, but see, if you don’t call him by his real name, wackytoodlerpops, you are committing blasphemy by worshipping a false idol. Ergo, free grounds for some chop chop in my cult, at least until we get to the religious stage and actually have to establish a stable society which has to consider things like trade from and mingling with the outside world. That’s sort of why Scientology has had to tone down on its fair game policy.

      Well, El was just A god in the Canaanite pantheon (hence the lines like “You will worship me before other gods” and such in the Old Testament (not a transcription, English is not my main).

      Then he went all “now worship only ME” and El ended up meaning God.
