The Bible, from the perspective of an atheist, is a pro-sexist, pro-slavery, pro-incest book. ( From an atheist's perspective, usually) Also, unlike Islam, Christians tend to put bible verses in their bio to look lovely, etc. From my own debates, Christians are well brainwashed as Islamic people ( for most of the time ), unlike the Quran their book is actually safer to read in voice chat, and it won't get me banned as much as it would with the Quran, however, it doesn't mean that this book is totally fine. I really think it's a scary and disgusting book that shouldn't teach anyone about anything. In fact, the satanic LaVey bible will probably give you better "morals" than the Bible. And actually, I'm going to compare the Satanic Bible and the Holy Bible, too.
Christianity also includes a LOT of false opinions that Christians made up by themselves because they don't know their own book. A great example is Leviticus 18:22, where it doesn't mention homosexuality, but pedophilia, and it was misunderstood by some people. One of my fav. things is to find verses from someone's bio on Tiktok and then look up in the same part but a different verse! So that's what I'm going to do now.
Chapter 1, The famous TikTok "bio" verses...
1 Corinthians 13:4 says... "Love is patient, love is kind...", meanwhile,
1 Corinthians 14:34-35 "Women should be silent in the churches. For they are not permitted to speak... If there is something they want to learn, let them ask their husbands at home. For it is shameful for a woman to speak in church."
John 4:16 says... "God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God"
John 3:6 "No one who abides in him keeps on sinning." In other words, if you sin, you’re not a Christian. By their own standards, most Christians sin every day. So, by that logic, they’re not Christians
Romans 8:31 says... "If God is for us, who can be against us?"
Romans 1:26-27 A verse used against gay people. The same book, the same author, Paul.
Chapter 2, What the Bible actually says
Exodus 21:20-21 “If a man beats his male or female slave with a rod and the slave dies as a direct result, he must be punished; but he is not to be punished if the slave recovers after a day or two, since the slave is his property.”
Ephesians 6:5 "Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ."
Leviticus 25:44-46 "Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves... You can bequeath them to your children as inherited property."
Deuteronomy 22:28-29 "If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not pledged to be married and rapes her... he shall pay her father fifty shekels of silver. He must marry the young woman... He can never divorce her as long as he lives."
Numbers 31:17-18 "Now kill all the boys. And kill every woman who has slept with a man, but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man."
Exodus 31:15 "Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day is to be put to death."
Leviticus 20:9 "Anyone who curses their father or mother is to be put to death."
Deuteronomy 21:18-21 "If someone has a stubborn and rebellious son... his father and mother shall take hold of him and bring him to the elders... Then all the men of his town are to stone him to death."
Chapter 3, The Holy Bible vs. The Satanic bible
The Eleven Rules of the Earth ( From the Satanic bible )
Do not give opinions or advice unless you are asked | Matthew 28:19: "Go and make disciples of all nations." |
Do not make sexual advances unless you are given the mating signal | Deuteronomy 22:28-29: "He shall pay her father fifty shekels... he must marry her" |
Do not take that which does not belong to you | Joshua 6:21: "They devoted the city to the Lord and destroyed with the sword every living thing in it" |
Do not harm little children | 1 Samuel 15:3: "Put to death men and women, children and infants" |
Do not kill non-human animals unless attacked or for your food | Leviticus 1:9: "The priest shall burn all of it on the altar as a burnt offering, a food offering, an aroma pleasing to the Lord" |
When walking in open territory, bother no one | Matthew 28:19: "Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them" |
Do not tell your troubles to others unless you are sure they want to hear them | Romans 12:15: "Mourn with those who mourn" |
When in another's lair, show them respect, or else do not go there | Luke 10:10-11: "When you enter a town and are not welcomed... wipe the dust off your feet as a testimony against them" |
If a guest in your home annoys you, treat them cruelly and without mercy | Leviticus 19:34: Actually says to treat strangers with love... however. |
Acknowledge the power of magic if you have employed it successfully | Deuteronomy 18:10-12: "Anyone who practices divination or sorcery... is detestable to the Lord" |
Do not complain about anything to which you need not subject yourself | 1 Thessalonians 5:17: "Pray without ceasing" |
Chapter 4, Christians
I think that it's important to understand this block is going to explain most Christians I see, e.g., who I debate, who I see on social media, who I see in videos, and who I see in real life.
A lot of Christian people are big, big homophobes, and a lot of this "homophobia" they have in themselves is made-up things they read somewhere, meanwhile the bible never mentions that OR the translation is completely wrong. Christians tend to articulate things how it would benefit them, they interpret verses however they suit them. If a verse says “love your neighbor,” they put it in their bio. If a verse says “kill your neighbor for working on Saturday” they say, “Oh, that’s a metaphor, it’s the Old Testament, you don’t understand the context!”
Conclusion
In my opinion, Christianity isn't something good, nor do I think that it will cause anything good in the future. As an atheist and an Autistic person, I really can't imagine someone believing in an invisible, all-knowing, all-powerful "all-loving" creature that doesn't appear, doesn't prove its existence in any form possible. Religions are just stupid, starting from the fact that, for most of the time, where you are born really benefits what your possible religion could be.
Christianity could easily be really controversial, and people who follow it really make it look worse and worse each day.
