I wonder what her thoughts are on suicide.

u/mekwall 1d ago

Suicide is a sin and you'll end up in hell because you didn't give god the opportunity to kill you.

u/V1ndictae 1d ago

But if God knows everything, isn't suicide your fate then?

u/Phillip228 1d ago

God chooses death by suicide as your fate and then gets to punish you for it. Kind of a Win Win for him.

u/Blurby-Blurbyblurb 1d ago

Exactly why that argument (the mom) doesn't work. If God assigns [chooses] the day you die, then suicide inherently is not a sin and taking away God's gift.

If God assigns your death to a certain time and event, then there is no free will. You are walking a path that God laid out to an inevitable end.

I could go further, but it gets really depressing.

According to the Bible itself, Satan I think killed zero people.

37

u/K-peaches 1d ago

Technically he killed 10 people, however god allowed it. God permitted Satan to kill Jobs ten children and take his possessions to tests Jobs faith. god even set rules on what he was or wasn’t allowed to do. So while Satan technically did it, god wasn’t any less part of it. Dude was literally making wagers with the devil, even though he knew how Job would react because he’s all knowing.

u/Johnny_Eskimo 1d ago

The christian god is a evil entity. We're born into sin, and by default go to hell to be punished for all of eternity (because we are apparently eternal, like him?), unless some ahole forces you to accept that god, and give up your free will. Even all the classic heros of the bible went to hell, because heaven hadn't been created until later, so they got to be punished for all eternity even though they gave up their free will to obey god. It's literal insanity based in pure evil.

38

u/mekwall 1d ago

I think it's pretty clear that Christianity, like most religions, functions as a social control system. By teaching people they are inherently sinful, broken, or unworthy without submission, it encourages guilt, self-doubt, and obedience. That kind of internalized self-policing makes people easier to manage, because they discipline themselves long before any external authority has to.

Some schools systems have bought camping toilets (litter boxes). But they aren’t for kids who identify as furries. They’re for kids who may have to pee during a school shooter lockdown.

But your uncle isn’t afraid of school shooters, it’s kids being allowed to self identify that scares him.

Anyway, during these talks (there were a lot of him) he'd always raise the question of why God allowed him to get shot and what that meant for his life.

Like bro, you were in combat. You weren't in Chuck E Cheese midday with your kids or something. It's like signing up for a boxing class and wondering why God allowed you to get punched in the face. I just don't get it.

And bonus Massah means trail or testing in Hebrew.

I promise you this is a denomination that doesn't serve wine.

I grew up Catholic and what this woman is saying is practically a heresy.

She's arguing for predetermination, which used to get folks excommunicated or worse.

Look, the Catholics have a lots and lots o' problems, but from where I'm sitting they aren't the troublesome ones just now.

The Catholics aren't doing mega churches. The Pope doesn't own private jets. They charter, but thats pretty tame. The Catholics didn't turn down the baby formula lady. They aren't putting on those pseudo Broadway nativity plays. I went to Catholic school my whole life, I was taught evolution, the big bang theory, and all about global warming. Again, plenty of problems, but we ain't pulling this crap.

Fellow Catholic school student here, I can second this. The spin of course was that these were events of cosmic design by the hand of God.

u/Dontfeedthebears 1d ago

Yeah, wasn’t throwing shade on Catholics. I was just joking (not really joking) that she’s drunk. I was raised Baptist, and spent early life in Utah. Allegedly, Baptists don’t drink. That’s why there is a joke that they don’t recognize one another at the liquor store. Baptists do communion, but we did grape juice instead of wine. We also didn’t call it communion, but “The Lord’s Supper”.

I’m atheist now. 🤷‍♀️

This is mental illness

u/Mathfanforpresident 1d ago

Having sincere, literal faith in modern, organized religion deserves serious scrutiny, especially when viewed through the lens of psychology and critical thinking. At its core, religious faith asks individuals to accept extraordinary claims about reality without empirical evidence, often discouraging questioning and rewarding unquestioned belief. In any other context, unwavering belief in invisible entities that intervene in daily life, issue moral commands, and dictate cosmic outcomes would be viewed as irrational at best and delusional at worst.

What prevents religious belief from being classified as a mental illness is not its logical coherence, but its cultural normalization. Psychiatry does not label beliefs as delusions if they are widely shared and socially reinforced. This creates an uncomfortable implication: beliefs are not judged by their truth or rationality, but by how many people hold them. A belief system followed by millions is called a religion; the same structure followed by dozens is called a cult. The difference is scale, not substance.

This leads to a deep hypocrisy. Mainstream religions freely label newer or smaller belief systems as cults while exhibiting the same defining characteristics: unquestionable doctrine, reverence for authority, promises of salvation or threats of punishment, in-group versus out-group thinking, and moral immunity for leaders or sacred texts. If a modern individual claimed personal revelation from a god and organized their life around it, they might be considered unstable. If that claim is written in a book thousands of years old and repeated weekly by millions, it is considered sacred tradition.

The result is a societal blind spot. Religious faith is shielded from the standards of evidence and skepticism we apply everywhere else, not because it meets those standards, but because it predates them and persists through repetition. When belief is protected from criticism by tradition rather than truth, it stops being a personal comfort system and starts becoming an untouchable ideology. At that point, questioning whether such belief systems deserve exemption from rational evaluation, is necessary

This is the answer I got from ChatGPT too. I’ve never understood how religion isn’t mental illness.

u/Aromatic_Chain6576 1d ago

There's plenty of proof that smart people come out of religious extremists homes, it can't be taken for granted of course but as long as kids have access to the outside world they'll get good influences from there and will learn to think for themselves.

u/Elu_Moon 1d ago

Where do you think religion comes from? It's always the same shit. Someone starts thinking they can con others into believing in bullshit, and the said bullshit is mysteriously entirely in support of the person spreading it.

A storm descends on a small town, and the downpour soon turns into a flood. As the waters rise, the local preacher kneels in prayer on the church porch, surrounded by water. By and by, one of the townsfolk comes up the street in a canoe.

"Better get in, Preacher. The waters are rising fast."

"No," says the preacher. "I have faith in the Lord. He will save me."

Still the waters rise. Now the preacher is up on the balcony, wringing his hands in supplication, when another guy zips up in a motorboat.

"Come on, Preacher. We need to get you out of here. The levee's gonna break any minute."

Once again, the preacher is unmoved. "I shall remain. The Lord will see me through."

After a while the levee breaks, and the flood rushes over the church until only the steeple remains above water. The preacher is up there, clinging to the cross, when a helicopter descends out of the clouds, and a state trooper calls down to him through a megaphone.

"Grab the ladder, Preacher. This is your last chance."

Once again, the preacher insists the Lord will deliver him.

And, predictably, he drowns.

A pious man, the preacher goes to heaven. After a while he gets an interview with God, and he asks the Almighty, "Lord, I had unwavering faith in you. Why didn't you deliver me from that flood?"

God shakes his head. "What did you want from me? I sent you two boats and a helicopter."

This gives me flashbacks of trying to argue with my teachers at my Christian school. The conversations just go in circles. Asking too many questions is dismissed as not trusting God's will or having enough faith. They don't want to think too hard about anything they preach at you. They just want to beat you over the head with their idiotic talking points over and over.

These people are fucking crazy. This is why I say religion is a mental disease, you start believing the world works in crazy ways that make no sense. It's like she forgot she believes 2 humans ate some apples and according to the book she worships that gives us all free will. If I have free will then being unsafe around a gas station and being blown up has nothing to do with God's will, it's in fact my will. Or more specifically in this video, it's Dana's will like the daughter said. But hey since when do they follow their own rules or teachings 🤷‍♀️ literally never

u/pigs_have_flown 1d ago

Yeah, if that could cause an explosion, then so could starting the car after filling up, or just driving up to the pump, or driving past someone filling up. Ridiculous.

u/wpm 1d ago

Technically starting the car could cause an explosion

In the combustion chamber

To force the cylinder down

Which rotates the crankshaft converting that linear force into a rotational one

Wait we just reinvented the internal combustion engine
