    And frankly, if your god is real, he’s probably cool with it.

    He’s definitely cool with it. All one needs to do is read the Old Testament.

      For what it’s worth, i was referring to Jesus being okay with genocide.

      (if he’s really god and really still, you know, not worm food,) The only reason Jesus wasn’t a white supremacist was that he wasn’t white. he was also, basically, what we’d call a religious fundamentalist today- he advocated to a return to the written law of moses in comparison to the pharisee’s adherence to the oral law (“tradition of the elders”). Which, the oral law eased certain things.

      But yeah. the OT is replete with all sorts of awful and abhorrent things.

      You don’t even need to go there. the simple fact that trump and Kegseth and the others still draw breath while doing this shit in his name suggests something. Either that god is not all powerful, that god is oblivious (and not all knowning); either of these two lead to it being not-god… or that god approves, and therefore evil.
