Morality = Popularity Contest?

This post is reliant on the reader to be aware of some of the ugly portions of the Bible, watch these two videos before reading further.



If you are a slow reader, you may have to pause this video from time to time because it scrolls relatively quickly.




These quotes reflect the warped sense of morality that religion can create. I have made many posts on religious morality, especially the so-called "morality" found within the Bible. It goes without saying that in any other context, Christians would view quotes like these as being disgustingly immoral. So the question is: what is it that turns actions as evil as these into ones which are acceptable, or perhaps even moral? For Christians, morality is a mere popularity contest. I say this because if it was the devil that was discribed as motivating/causing such things how do you think Christians would view it? Of course they would see the light, they would view it as being pure-evil. So this means that Christian-morality has very little to do with actions, much more to do with who is the motivator. For example, remember the story of Adam and Eve? Remember how God freaked out from Eve eating that fruit? Christians base their entire religion on sacrificing a guy to scapegoat the guilt they feel because some lady ate a fruit which caused people to wear clothing. What if it was God that motivated Eve to eat the fruit, and it was the devil which didn't want this to happen? (God maybe liked seeing a naked Eve) Christians would not view the act of eating the fruit in the same way, which, as has been previously put -- morality for Christians has very little to do with action and nearly everything to do with who is giving the "orders". In a perfect world, Eve would have never eaten the fruit, we would all walk around naked, and Jesus would never have been needed to 'die for our sins'.

Sorry Christians, but the devil told me to write this, does that make this post evil? I sure hope so.
