religious horror
@Draekos funny you should mention this now. I’ve been thinking about punishment, maltheism and worthiness a lot as part of trying to hack Yom Kippur (it’s where some bad messages from Judaism stacked with terrible messages from fundamentalist Christians). The assumption that God makes one moral is so wrapped up in really southern dualism about people being good or bad. It’s a mess.
What got you thinking about it?
re: religious horror
@Draekos defining God’s benevolence by Her ability to punish and keep in line is consistent with how the same people assign value to police and soldiers. I don’t think it makes happier or more ethical people. It’s kinda a sore point for me, given where I grew up.

@Leucrotta video essay on christian propaganda movies. Although it's a point I've thought about several times before.
