This is episode 168 of the Baehr and Curadh Podcast. We are going to talk about stupid things Christians believe.
Pascals Wager.Their deity is an all-knowing, all-powerful god that created the Universe.God had to sacrifice himself on a crucifix to undo sins done by the people he created in his own image."Since Jesus died on the cross for our sins, dare we make his martyrdom meaningless by not committing them?"God required the crucifixion instead of just forgiving everyone.And this is after he killed all humans and animals except the ones on the ark to purge all sin on the planet.Transubstantiation. "The transformation of ordinary bread and wine into the body and blood of Christ while still maintaining the appearance of ordinary bread and wine."The concept that just to have a lustful thought is a sin.God gave you free will, but everything is according to his plan.Despite being made in god's perfect image, we still have to circumcise the foreskin of the penis.Everything that is good comes from God, and everything that is bad comes from Satan.This all-powerful god allows innocent little children to suffer hunger and disease though they did nothing to deserve it.That everything in the Bible is the inspired words of god.That after counting the descendants of Adam and Eve in the Bible, the earth is only about 6,000 years old.That God just made the earth "appear" to be millions of years old (with dinosaur bones and everything) to test our faith.God darkened the Egyptian Pharos heart to give himself a reason to commit mass infanticide.Only your Christian sect is right. It is the one truth to get into heaven. There are thousands of branches but YOURS is the only true religion.Men making love together is a mortal sin, and they should be put to death for it.That without the reward of heaven and the punishment of hell, people would not be good on their own.There is only one true god, and the rest are imposters.
