And honestly, while I haven’t talked to god in a while, I doubt he’d get mad over a little lie to protect the health and wellbeing of me and my family. Bit of a dick move otherwise
The church I was dragged to as a child had several “teachers” who drove it into us year after year all about how there will be people coming to the church to kill everyone who doesn’t say they hate God. Then asked us who would deny God to “cling to your sinful flesh”.
I got in trouble and had to stop going to their “lessons” because saying “yeah I’d do it so I can live another day and fight back” was not the answer they were looking for.
They really do love painting that target on their forehead and pretend it’s real and that someone else put it there.
It would have been more believable if it was some other religion’s symbol instead of a “no Christianity” atheism symbol. It’s really only religious folks who get worked up about someone else’s religious beliefs unless that someone else is trying to force them on others.
Ah yes, the roving bands of atheists who will demand you renounce Christianity or die.
Who hasn’t heard of those guys?

My catholic school taught the same
