      Yes, slavery and raping women and murdering children all being a-okay is definitely morally good nods head

      Fess up. You’ve never actually read the Bible, have you?

      You might want to try reading that there book you’re professing, I doubt you’re a good faith actor, if you are you’re certainly oblivious to what you’re talking about. Either way you get on my blocked list.

      “Morally good” as defined by who? Because according to the Bible, God’s a dick. Wouldn’t look to that fairytale to seek morality.

      It also condones slavery. It tells you exactly how much you’re allowed to beat your slave without killing them.

      Good stuff to teach children.

      Or how about Lot’s daughter’s raping their father because… reasons? Gross.

      Let’s say you’re not trolling, I’ll point out 2 issues with this.

      The first is that biblical morality is not what you think it is. You can find a litany of issues with this outdated “code of ethics”, for example, the Bible is not only OK with slavery, it even provides you guidance on how hard you can beat your slaves.

      And the second is, do you really think it’s “your” Christianity that will be taught? Since the newly appointed head of the white house office of faith is a follower of the “prosperity” gospel, it’s much more likely fringe denominations will pervert “good” Christianity rather than the other way around.

      And if you haven’t heard of the prosperity gospel, man, have you got some fun reading to do. It’s the belief that the rich are rich by virtue of God, that their wealth is a reward and a sign of their alignment with Christian principles, and that maybe if you weren’t so wrong you wouldn’t be so poor. No more of that false prophet shit like “easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle”, fuck that Jesus guy and his socialism, we’ve got a new god, and it’s name is money.

      Bible also says:

      Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

      I am Christian myself, but seeing other people who call themselves Christians imposing Christianity on others while they themselves not living according to our faith and then inventing excuses to justify it. I believe there’s a special place in Hell for them.
