Genesis. Dude invented sin by putting a random tree down with a whole made up lore on it for no reason other to tempt his “beloved” creation. Of course it all goes to plan—since the dude apparently knows what comes ahead of time—and he gets to do what he wanted all along; fuck with the ants.
And Lucifer, the only person to try overthrow this monster tragically lost and paid the ultimate price for it.
This slots in so much better than the original, I think. They should incorporate it into Diablo somehow.
The “Gnostics” believed that the Creator wasn’t really the God, but a malevolent lesser deity who condemned our consciousness to the suffering of the physical world.
18 If someone has a stubborn and rebellious son who does not obey his father and mother and will not listen to them when they discipline him, 19 his father and mother shall take hold of him and bring him to the elders at the gate of his town. 20 They shall say to the elders, “This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious. He will not obey us. He is a glutton and a drunkard.” 21 Then all the men of his town are to stone him to death
Imagine wiping an entire city off the face of the earth because they just are a bit kinky. That was the loving and just god.
Of course Jesus said to basically throw out the entire old testament and focus on the love one another bits, but it doesn’t seem like the churches caught that
Even then, the whole city? Women and children too? There were no innocents there? Nah I don’t buy it. If god was all powerful he could have selectively smoten.
Jesus absolutely did not say that. He said to follow the law.
Matthew 5:17-20
“Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have come not to abolish but to fulfill. For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth pass away, not one letter, not one stroke of a letter, will pass from the law until all is accomplished. Therefore, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven."
The bible.
Sodom and Gomorrah and the story of Jacob are basically an iq test.
Not only do the stories sound highly unreal, even if they are real the only rational conclusion is that god is evil and petty.
That said, the philosophies of Jesus are pretty cool and often still relevant today.
Well of course god is the evil one.

Sodom and Gomorrah were about raping guests, not sodomy
Even then, the whole city? Women and children too? There were no innocents there? Nah I don’t buy it. If god was all powerful he could have selectively smoten.
Oh absolutely, evil evil god, but the sin of sodom wasn’t what Christian pastors want you to think
