God has a sense of humor, this is awesome!

Upvote that is like the only funny religion based joke i have ever seen

Thanks????

That was supposed to be !!!!!

I saw this pun once, at r/Dank Christian Memes

Great minds think alike!

I've seen this joke so many times, but it never gets old! XD

If it were so important, surely someone would've mentioned it before John was written some five+ decades later ... but nope. Not mentioned anywhere. Almost as if the whole thing was made up.

Been through all that. Used to be a fierce apologist. Can't do all the mental gymnastics it takes to be a christian anymore. It's a made up religion that copied everything from other religions. There is nothing unique about Judaism or Christianity.

I know it from the inside out having started churches, led bible studies, and promoted it for 50 years.

Much of this impulse in human culture to create a religion is driven by people's own existential angst, their innate and instinctive fear of death, their own death and the death of the people they love. It can seem easier to deal with death by convincing ourselves that it is not real. "My loved one is not dead - they are in heaven and we will see each other again!", we tell ourselves. And "Of course I will never 'die!' that's absurd! I'll just go to a 'better' place."

The other impulse in human culture to create a religion is driven by the desire for power and money. An all powerful god wouldn't need your money but his representatives are always crowing about the tithe. Power and wealth. Power over other men. Power over women. Power over culture. Power over society. That's all religion is truly about at its core.

You all need to grow up. And make the most of the time you actually do have. You are mortal. Death is real ... get over it. I sincerely and earnestly do not believe that god or gods exist because there hasn't been any compelling evidence presented to me. But you christians have each other to go to "worship" with your imaginary god. Perhaps that could bring meaning to your lives as you comfort and console each other when bad things happen, blaming them on sin and the devil, and give credit to your god when the good things happen, all while ignoring the fact that anything that could be called a god would be in control of it all (kinda like Isaiah says in chapter 46:7).

While you're at it, be sure to sacrifice your child to god like Jephthah did. And make sure you take all the slaves you want.

Okay, have it your way.
See you at the white throne.

Why is it that people take such a hard line "proving" Christianity wrong, when "if" it doesn't exist, why should they care.....

Because it’s so easy. And christianity dominates our culture with its ignorance.
When a person says, “Without God, life has no meaning,” what he’s really saying is: “I want to believe that life has meaning, and I can’t imagine how that’s possible without God, so I want to believe that God is real.” While this desire is understandable, it’s neither convincing nor necessary. It’s possible to have a meaningful life without any religious convictions, and relying on religion to provide your life with significance can be psychologically damaging. When you seek validation and meaning from outside sources, you risk being failed by the same institution that previously gave meaning to your life. Moreover, the culture of religion can lead to identical group thinking and loss of objectivity. When actions are informed by beliefs, false beliefs can give rise to dangerous or harmful actions. An uncomfortable truth is always better than a comforting lie.
In order to indoctrinate their followers and secure obedience, religions frequently tear people down, creating an emptiness that must then be filled with Jesus, Allah or any other deity. People are told that they are inherently bad or sinful and that the only way to become good is by giving over control of their lives to faith. As there is no evidence that any of that is true, religion, in effect, is creating an imaginary problem simply so that it can sell an imaginary solution. The learned helplessness created by religion can open the way for charlatans and con artists to take advantage of gullible, vulnerable people. False ideas about the universe, including promises that good people are rewarded and sinful people punished, can set false expectations among believers and strip them of the tools they need to properly cope with the challenging events of their lives in a healthy way. It’s often better to face reality head-on and attempt to cope with it directly rather than comfort oneself with deception. As Bertrand Russell once said, “No satisfaction based upon self-deception is solid, and, however unpleasant the truth may be, it is better to face it once for all, to get used to it, and to proceed to build your life in accordance with it.”
