@KingOfWhiteAmerica @Deplorable_Degenerate @koropokkur @Bernard @GoyGirl @madcuzbad @toiletpaper @hakui a lot of people teach biblical lessons very poorly unfortunately. in the midwest it's very common for people to believe that god is a single discrete entity who just swims around in the sky all day while spying on us, but he's invisible so we can't see him in return.

shit like that creates a lot of neuroticism, as if we're all living in a divine soviet-style tattletale panopticon.

there's also a lot of poor translation choices for certain words that leads to confusion (hot passions = wrath or logos = word), but this might be more the average person's lack of language knowledge. greek/latin used to be a common study subject for this reason. the sin of wrath is not anger or retribution, it's impulsivity!
