If he didn’t, all she needs to do is “ask him for forgiveness” (aka literally just think to yourself, “I’m sorry Jesus.”), and she will get into heaven for all eternity! Good stuff.
I’ve had conversations with some religious people where they’ve basically stated that the only reason they don’t murder people is because of God and the Bible. Not the exact words, but basically that’s where all their ideas of morality come from. That’s fucking scary if the only thing holding people back is a fucking book. And not, you know, compassion and empathy.
Yep. Terrifying people. And they’re all over the place in the US.
Religion takes all of the best aspects of humanity and convinces people that they need some sort of supernatural nanny to be that way.
that’s the mindset. they’re raised to believe that humans literally aren’t capable of being any definition of “good” without church. and even still, as mentioned above, you can pretty much do all the stealing, adultering, raping, murdering you please anyway as long as you “repent” and ask forgiveness. it’s all such a steaming truckload of horseshit
