Your Christian God demanded animal sacrifices for MANY MANY years, prior to his sacrificing his own son... according to dogma... right?
Imagine how many sheep, lambs, doves, etc, etc were killed to appease Him! Blood thirsty, a bit? Passover-like?
Almost like the primitives sacrificing humans to THEIR "Gods"... no?
Is not communion still the eating of Christ's actual flesh and drinking his blood (according to Catholics), to re-live the blood sacrifice... or at least representative of that (for other Christian dogmas)?
Heavy sigh, God is truly a mystery and parts of the Bible make me very sad for humans and animals alike. I still can't believe God would sacrifice the 1st borns of Egypt as they were children, babies. Most were not even adulterated yet. That is a very hard pill to swallow. Adults are one thing, children, babies are another IMHO. Another heavy sigh. Blessed Easter or Passover to you AD, whichever you celebrate.
Ok, agnostic it is although I hope someday even with the harshness in the Bible you reconsider. But I certainly respect whatever you feel. I assumed you were Christian bc your profile pic reminds me of what Jesus may have looked like. Foolish me, I know.
I never watched the movie. Perhaps I will when I have more free time. Nothing like a real deep down belly laugh as it is good for the body and Soul! I had one the other day and laughed for about 4 minutes straight. It was wonderful.
Keep your heart and mind open for that visit. It will happen! And when it does, you can decide yea or nay. Free will of course.
I am a square. No grass for me. The only grass I make contact with is the kind that is a green carpet of lushness that I lay upon looking upward at the sky while under a tree watching the clouds go by and hearing the calls of the birds and watching the squirrels run back and forth. That is my drug of choice, lol!
This is evidence that you don't know God. God is not a man. He is the Creator and He's made a plan and written a story that includes us and is far away and above us. Thankfully He has left many evidences and even a Book about who He is and what His plan for humanity on Earth is about. There's much more that He has done and is doing outside of our ability to know.
Of course He is a man in Spirit form and the Creator RJ! And I do know God, quite well in fact. But yes to all the other comments you made! Enjoy your evening!

that is why I am very happy to be an agnostic.
Have a fine Easter Weekend!
PS: Passover?!!?!? Not hardly! Some more harsh truth:

Why reconsider? I am here if God wants to call on me.
My pic is of Lebowski, from the movie. But yes, I agree, and find that a bit humorous...
Oh yes, it sure is. How stupid of me. And yes, God will call on you. He knows the exact timing of when to come for a visit!
nah, not stupid... "The Great Lebowski" is n old flick and not much followed.
I just like his laid-back style and found it to be very funny... and I do not have much of a comedy "gene".
A visit will be welcome.

I will keep an open mind and heart.
I hope you enjoy the movie. Smoke a little grass before you do. 🤪

Nothing wrong with that... sounds nice.
But God made weed... yes? Mushrooms too, though I have not tried any of the "magic" kind... but would like to!
Have a nice evening.
