Impiety

@noholyscripture.bsky.social

"But you haven't studied the Scripture, so you don't know ..."

Why would any omnipotent God make belief in him/her contingent upon years of meticulous study of a book written, transmitted & interpreted by mere, fallible human beings?

Scripture is 100% MENmade, & claimed gods within are imagined.

Paradise Lost

@paradise-lost.bsky.social

Thy thunders magnified; but to
create
Is greater than created to
destroy.
Who can impair thee, Mighty
King, or bound
Thy empire! Easily the proud
attempt
Of Spirits apostate, and their
counsels vain,
Thou hast repelled; while
impiously they thought

VII, 606-611
