    These people are scared by knowledge, they are the exact opposite of what defines us as humans

      They think, because they are afraid and ashamed of their own sexual urges, that all other natural aspects of being human are also, by extension, supposed to be resisted.

      Well yeah what did you think the serpent story was all about? Knowledge is the enemy to Christians.

    I love how useless this guy’s supposedly omnipotent and omniscient god is in his mind.

    • Cannot intervene.
    • Needs his followers to indoctrinate their children into his belief system.
    • Utterly cucked by his arch nemesis if they don’t.

      Being cucked by the nemesis is a weird part of religion. Watch out, the bad guy does this and that and everything. But don’t you worry, our hero… He does basically nothing.

    I mean, the witches are more fun (not even talking about sex… just in general.)

    And scientists are way more effective at everying except clearing out a church.

    And I’m pretty sure, though I have no fist hand knowledge, the witches are better at sex. Mostly because this guy doesn’t get any.

    This is a common anime trope. I read that threatening kids with going to hell is now considered child abuse–in Japan.

    Then there’s always the classic history of the Children’s Crusade. I don’t know any rationally minded person that would say, yeah that’s a good idea.

    So how exactly is the devil teaching people stuff if God has to rely on random people writing down his word with hundreds if not thousands of years between and often very much changed?

    Like this makes God sound like he doesn’t have the power or resources available to satan.

    Wow… I’ m supermon. I teach my child about religion, psychologie, evolution and sexuality…

    Maybe i need to find a nice witch that could teach him a bit more about the pagan-religions than i know about it.

    Than i create a homo universalis…
