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.
