We will be GLAD to return when Christians & Those who fear God and HATE evil!
what
“God fearing” has always struck me as a ridiculous statement. It’s supposed to be a positive, like, that person respected God. No. Jesus preached of a loving God. He was delusional, apocalyptic, and a product of his time and circumstances, but he said his god loved everyone. Throw that tired shit away.
You’re thinking New Testament God.
Old Testament God is a big mean motherfucker and he will fuck you up unless you follow his very strict rules. In fact, he won’t just fuck you up, he will fuck up your entire tribe collectively because you didn’t follow the rules.
Largely because he wasn’t the only God kicking around. Jehovah was originally just another local deity, but he beat up the others. You really were supposed to be afraid of the awesome power your god wielded. Ties back to the language of “you shall have no other gods before Me” - they were around, and they were real, but Jehovah was the baddest of them all.
Moses didn’t try to convince the Egyptians to worship Jehovah, he tried to make them scared of Jehovah.
okay but without fear isn’t there no morality? and, like, if nobody’s suffering, is there really such a thing as justice? if there’s not at least one child in a basement being tortured and treated like dirt, can you even call it a society? I mean, obviously the optimal number of people being horrible tortured in society is “everyone but me, in the sickest ways I can imagine”, but, y’know, progress is progress

Halloween is my favorite holiday. All the WICKEDNESS !
My only problem with Halloween is that it’s only one day and then everyone stops with the skeletons and the spiders and stuff and their houses get boring again until Christmas.
Unless you have the giant skeleton from Home Depot and dress it for each following holiday.
