You need to understand that most of these people have never cracked the Bible open, let alone actually try to read it as a collection of 55 separate books mostly chronling One tribe and of their stories covering poetry, life lessons, spirituality, morality, etc over roughly a 3,000 ish year time span bound in one binding.
Or to put this in perspective. Imagine somebody made a supercut of all Star wars media ever produced all of the clone wars episodes, the prequels all of the new Disney shit and they made it into one massive supercut. That's what the Bible is.
I understand that... But imagine you have all these star wars fans who love dressing up like storm troopers and doing crackdowns. They're even in government, screaming "for the empire!" as they bomb random people in the middle east
And obviously, a lot of people are going to think Star wars is evil
But reading the Bible without commentary is like a vaccine for the mind virus. Especially the gospels, they're short and based as hell
The mental gymnastics required to replace mutual aid with magic is truly extraordinary. That's why they explain the Bible to kids, sentence by sentence, to make sure they don't accidentally understand it
There's not a single line. You've said that I disagree with across either of your comments. But it's not even just the Stormtroopers. It's the people that are going on and on and on about how Star wars is the story of jar jar Binks and not the story of the skywalkers...... And the Binks people are the majority of the Star wars fans at this point
I agree, and that's kind of my objective
We need to encourage people to watch the source material so they know to mock the larpers for never having done the same
Side note, Darth Jar-Jar theories are dope
That really is the rotten heart of the probelm. Doesn't matter which flavor of fundamentalist. Christian/Jewish/Islamic fundies all pour that mind poison into children.
