We will be GLAD to return when Christians & Those who fear God and HATE evil!

what

Real Christians understand.

Aneurysms work in mysterious ways

“God fearing” has always struck me as a ridiculous statement. It’s supposed to be a positive, like, that person respected God. No. Jesus preached of a loving God. He was delusional, apocalyptic, and a product of his time and circumstances, but he said his god loved everyone. Throw that tired shit away.

You’re thinking New Testament God.

Old Testament God is a big mean motherfucker and he will fuck you up unless you follow his very strict rules. In fact, he won’t just fuck you up, he will fuck up your entire tribe collectively because you didn’t follow the rules.

Largely because he wasn’t the only God kicking around. Jehovah was originally just another local deity, but he beat up the others. You really were supposed to be afraid of the awesome power your god wielded. Ties back to the language of “you shall have no other gods before Me” - they were around, and they were real, but Jehovah was the baddest of them all.

Moses didn’t try to convince the Egyptians to worship Jehovah, he tried to make them scared of Jehovah.

“God fearing” is generally used in the context of Christianity and the New Testament God. If you believe in Hell, fear makes perfect sense.

He’ll also spontaneously change the rules at anytime and then kill your family.

“God fearing” is a train of thought for a reason.

okay but without fear isn’t there no morality? and, like, if nobody’s suffering, is there really such a thing as justice? if there’s not at least one child in a basement being tortured and treated like dirt, can you even call it a society? I mean, obviously the optimal number of people being horrible tortured in society is “everyone but me, in the sickest ways I can imagine”, but, y’know, progress is progress

-every fascist

I feel like those should be reversed? Or something…?

Trying to interpret grammar/meaning for what is obviously a real-world schizo post is where u made your first mistake

They think Halloween is evil and that everyone should hate Halloween.

okay but it’s cool for me to not hate evil, right?

When you learn how to nest lists in your favourite word processor

Uh, Big Lots is closing all of their stores in October. Guess they won.

The news I’m reading says they are only closing some stores.

What am I supposed to do now, buy couches at normal prices???

Their furniture prices have gone way up, at least here. Not really all that different from a regular furniture store. You can easily spend over $1000 on a sofa there.

Ask JD Vance. I’m sure he knows where all the best deals on couches are.

He probably gets those fake high class sofas. I wouldn’t trust him

Know what else is in October? HALLOWEEN and all the wickedness!

Have the courage to stand by your convictions and print a return address.

There’s not enough room for the addresses of all the citizens of Tulsa

Halloween is my favorite holiday. All the WICKEDNESS !

My only problem with Halloween is that it’s only one day and then everyone stops with the skeletons and the spiders and stuff and their houses get boring again until Christmas.

Unless you have the giant skeleton from Home Depot and dress it for each following holiday.

There’s actually someone who lives relatively near my mother with a giant skeleton in their yard that they put a Santa hat on in the winter. And big props to them. I drive to the town where my mom lives once or twice a month, so I see it fairly regularly.

Halloween and then Thanksgiving my friend.

Most people don’t decorate their house for Thanksgiving.
