    As an actual bible believing Christian, I would like to officially distance myself from all this nonsense.

        Jesus teaches that He will return at the head of a Holy Army, to kill all who won’t accept Him as Lord.

        “They” can’t even come close to the horrors Jesus promised. The lake of blood will be miles wide, and as high as a horse’s bridle (according to Him).

        His billions of victims won’t even have peace in death, as He promises them eternal torment in a lake of fire (according to Him).

          Which shows that you did not understand the bible. Forget the Apocalypse. It should never have made it to the book, and has nothing to do with what Jesus preached.

      As a Christian in faith. I believe the bible needs to fade into obscurity. We need a new narrative that defines the sense of love, compassion & spiritual growth we seek. Fuck the dogma & the original sin idea that has been used to oppress and strike fear into peoples hearts and minds. Fear of god is spiritual abuse. That is what Christianity teaches right out of the gate. 🤦
