Originally posted by FMF Religious doctrines and stern gods have gone hand in hand with the management of essentially totalitarian social orders all the way down through history all across the globe. Ancient Hebrew mythology, with its angry, jealous, and vengeful god, apparently appeals to KellyJay's imagination and personality. He finds purpose in dishing out his Christian trash talk on behalf of his god figure.
Trash talk. That's what that is. You believe the lie.

Who has talked about shelving our responsibilities? We are to love each other from our family, our friends, as well as our enemies.

It's not an attempt insult anyone so it's not "trash talk". It's a perspective on the history of how societies organize themselves down through the ages. KellyJay likes to speak on behalf of an angry vengeful supernatural being he believes is going to punish dissenters. It's nothing new.
