A belief is a concept of acceptance of something as accurate to its properties or proposals offered.
“Damien, you just don’t understand the BIBLE.”
Ok. Well, let me put it this way the parts I do understand offend me deeply.
Proverbs 20:30 “Blows and wounds scrub away evil, and beatings purge the inmost being.”
Exodus 21:20-21 “Anyone who beats their male or female slave with a rod must be punished if the slave dies as a direct result, but they are not to be punished if the slave recovers after a day or two since the slave is their property.”
Leviticus 25:44-46 “Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them, you may buy slaves. You may also buy some of the temporary residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and they will become your property. You can bequeath them to your children as inherited property and can make them slaves for life, but you must not rule over your fellow Israelites ruthlessly.”
Exodus 21 1-6 “If you buy a Hebrew servant, he is to serve you for six years. But in the seventh year, he shall go free, without paying anything. If he comes alone, he is to go free alone; but if he has a wife when he comes, she is to go with him. If his master gives him a wife and she bears him sons or daughters, the woman, and her children shall belong to her master, and only the man shall go free. But if the servant declares, ‘I love my master and my wife and children and do not want to go free,’ then his master must take him before the judges. He shall take him to the door or the doorpost and pierce his ear with an awl. Then he will be his servant for life.”
Ephesians 6:5 “Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ.”
1 Timothy 6:1-2 “All who are under the yoke of slavery should consider their masters worthy of full respect, so that God’s name and our teaching may not be slandered. Those who have believing masters should not show them disrespect just because they are fellow believers. Instead, they should serve them even better because their masters are dear to them as fellow believers and are devoted to the welfare of their slaves.”
Luke 12:47-48 “The servant who knows the master’s will and does not get ready or does not do what the master wants will be beaten with many blows. But the one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows.”
Deuteronomy 22:28-29 “If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not pledged to be married and rapes her and they are discovered, he shall pay her father fifty shekels of silver. He must marry the young woman, for he has violated her. He can never divorce her as long as he lives.”
Exodus 21:7-11 “When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she shall not go out as the male slaves do. If she does not please her master, who has designated her for himself, then he shall let her be redeemed. He shall have no right to sell her to a foreign people since he has broken faith with her. If he designates her for his son, he shall deal with her as with a daughter. If he takes another wife to himself, he shall not diminish her food, her clothing, or her marital rights. And if he does not do these three things for her, she shall go out for nothing, without payment of money.”
Numbers 31:18 “So now, kill all the boys, and kill every virgin-girl, spare for yourselves.”
Deuteronomy 20:10-14 “When you march up to attack a city, and they open their gates in peace, all the people in it shall be subject to forced labor and shall work for you (slaves). If they refuse to make peace and they engage you in battle, put to the sword all the men in it. As for the women, and everything else, you may take as plunder the Lord your God gives you for yourselves.”
Judges 21:11-24 “This is what you are to do, Kill every male and every woman who is not a virgin. They found four hundred young women who had never slept with a man. But there were not enough and people grieved because the Lord had made a gap. Asking how shall we provide wives for the men who are left? Receiving instructions to go and hide in the vineyards, then when the young women come out to join in the dancing, rush and each of you seize one of the women carrying them off to be your wives.”
Deuteronomy 22:23-24 “If a man happens to meet in a town a virgin pledged to be married and he sleeps with her, you shall take both of them to the gate of that town and stone them to death—the young woman because she was in a town and did not scream for help, and the man because he violated another man’s wife.“
I am starting to reject the thinking that Christians usually believe the bible, that is without cherry picking it. I say it is more like accept the bible is completely accurate no matter what even if they lack confidence in the bible’s accuracy. They often accept whatever it claims no matter how senseless if they agree but where ever they don’t like it they agree with the bible as metaphorical or must be understood in a way they like, even if to try to do so makes no real sense.
Christians often will try and interpret the bible any way possible so it fits their personal thinking. Here are a few common responses to the bible that do not make sense: “Avoidance—pretend it doesn’t exist, hoping it will go away. Assume the misunderstanding was ignorance on the reader’s part thus one needs to read more verses or a whole chapter and once doing so even if the senselessness of a verse is still there they feel it is watered down by reading other verses. Make up an answer that will work within their theological worldview. Hide their confusion, afraid that there might be a flaw in their faith. Decide “it must be cultural differences” and not look for further answers. Then, this is furthered with little to no thinking all, likely they say it takes faith god will make it clear in time. It accepts not belief born of reason, if the bible said if you love god you would hate blue eyes, they would hate blue eyes and likely make up reasons to justify such nonsense. If the bible said there is no moon and what looks like the moon is a hologram and this is proof of the devil many Christians would accept this as true. Belief is to have confidence in the truth, the existence, or the reliability of something. But how can they have such confidence? They were not shown facts only told to accept the bible as true and before reading the entire bible or likely not even a quarter of it believed the entire book was true not even knowing what it said and not being presented with any real reasons to believe just encouraged to accept it all sight unseen and without adequate proof to convince real confidence needed for valid belief. So, I say Christians mostly just accept the bible if they like it, thus no belief is really required instead they just have to have faith in how they want to see it. Acceptance is connected to belief but it can be baseless just like all religious faith. ref
I know what the jesus myth said that christians don’t like this,
1 Peter 3:15 “Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have (in the bible god/jesus). But do this with gentleness and respect.
Luke 14:26 “If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even their own life—such a person cannot be my disciple.”
Matthew 10:34-35 “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.”
Matthew 19:21 “Jesus answered, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”
Matthew 6:5-7 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray, standing on the street corners to be seen by others. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door to pray and when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans.”
Matthew 18:8-9 “If your hand or your foot causes you to fall into sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life crippled or lame than to have two hands and two feet and be thrown into the eternal fire. And if your eye causes you to fall into sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into the fire of hell.”
The bible god myth does not love atheists as we blaspheme the holy spirit.
Mark 3:29 “but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; they are guilty of an eternal sin.”

I do not hate simply because I challenge and expose myths or lies any more than others being thought of as loving simply because of the protection and hiding from challenge their favored myths or lies.
The truth is best championed in the sunlight of challenge.
An archaeologist once said to me “Damien religion and culture are very different”
My response, So are you saying that was always that way, such as would you say Native Americans’ cultures are separate from their religions? And do you think it always was the way you believe?
I had said that religion was a cultural product. That is still how I see it and there are other archaeologists that think close to me as well. Gods too are the myths of cultures that did not understand science or the world around them, seeing magic/supernatural everywhere.
I personally think there is a goddess and not enough evidence to support a male god at Çatalhöyük but if there was both a male and female god and goddess then I know the kind of gods they were like Proto-Indo-European mythology.

The “Atheist-Humanist-Leftist Revolutionaries”
Cory Johnston ☭ Ⓐ Atheist Leftist @Skepticallefty & I (Damien Marie AtHope) @AthopeMarie (my YouTube & related blog) are working jointly in atheist, antitheist, antireligionist, antifascist, anarchist, socialist, and humanist endeavors in our videos together, generally, every other Saturday.
Why Does Power Bring Responsibility?
Think, how often is it the powerless that start wars, oppress others, or commit genocide? So, I guess the question is to us all, to ask, how can power not carry responsibility in a humanity concept? I know I see the deep ethical responsibility that if there is power their must be a humanistic responsibility of ethical and empathic stewardship of that power. Will I be brave enough to be kind? Will I possess enough courage to be compassionate? Will my valor reached its height of empathy? I as everyone earns our justified respect by our actions, that are good, ethical, just, protecting, and kind. Do I have enough self-respect to put my love for humanity’s flushing, over being brought down by some of its bad actors? May we all be the ones doing good actions in the world, to help human flourishing.
I create the world I want to live in, striving for flourishing. Which is not a place but a positive potential involvement and promotion; a life of humanist goal precision. To master oneself, also means mastering positive prosocial behaviors needed for human flourishing. I may have lost a god myth as an atheist but I am happy to tell you my friend, it is exactly because of that, leaving the mental terrorizer, god belief that I truly regained my connected ethical as well as kind humanity.
Cory and I will talk about prehistory and theism, addressing the relevance to atheism, anarchism, and socialism.
At the same time of the rise of the male god 7,000 years ago was also the very time there was the rise of violence war, and clans to kingdoms, then empires, then states. It is all connected back to 7,000 years ago and it mover across the world.
