    Hmm before or after he unleashes mass murder and torture on earth? This is an important thing for me. I try to tell people I like them before they slaughter humans, not after.

    Of course the best part never get mentioned:

    Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.

    And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.

    Jesus turns a woman into a sex slave forced to make rape babies and watch said babies get murdered.

    Christianity everyone!

      Another day, another Atheist taking the Bible out of context.

      ‭‭Revelation 2:18-29 ESV‬

      “And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write: ‘The words of the Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and whose feet are like burnished bronze. “‘I know your works, your love and faith and service and patient endurance, and that your latter works exceed the first. But I have this against you, that you tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess and is teaching and seducing my servants to practice sexual immorality and to eat food sacrificed to idols. I gave her time to repent, but she refuses to repent of her sexual immorality. Behold, I will throw her onto a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her I will throw into great tribulation, unless they repent of her works, and I will strike her children dead. And all the churches will know that I am he who searches mind and heart, and I will give to each of you according to your works. But to the rest of you in Thyatira, who do not hold this teaching, who have not learned what some call the deep things of Satan, to you I say, I do not lay on you any other burden. Only hold fast what you have until I come. The one who conquers and who keeps my works until the end, to him I will give authority over the nations, and he will rule them with a rod of iron, as when earthen pots are broken in pieces, even as I myself have received authority from my Father. And I will give him the morning star. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’

      If you actually read it in context and have an ounce of intelligence and honesty, it’s referring to someone who’s seducing men within the Church of Thyatira. But of course, if you read it in context, you won’t be able to make the weird conclusion you were trying to make. This is low, even for an Atheist argument.

      Atheist lies to make a stupid point

      Atheism, everyone!

        There is no context that makes sex slavery and infanticide acceptable. It doesn’t matter what her supposed sins are. This is a new low even for Christian “thought”.

          1. Where does it mention sexual slavery?

          2. It sounds like you’re upset when God punishes sin. So you’re upset both when God does something and when God doesn’t do something? How can this be? Do you want God to just let us be evil without punishment?

          3. How come it’s wrong when The Creator of the universe takes a life He ordained, but it’s perfectly acceptable when a woman has an abortion? Her body her choice? What about His universe His choice? I see a double standard appearing.

            1. The part where she is confined to her bed with her lovers and watching her babies get murdered

            2. Yes I am upset that anyone would believe sexual slavery and infanticide is an appropriate punishment. It makes me wonder about the people who think this is acceptable. Torture is bad, rape is bad, murder is bad.

            3. Now you are just throwing stuff at the wall.

            Anyway enjoy your block I can’t get into yet another argument with a xian who thinks rape is fine.
