    Yes, the old testament has some ethically bad things in it, all Abrahamic religions share that. I’m also atheist. I just don’t make a point of commenting “fictional character” on a meme that happens to use the word “god”, not even capitalized lmao. Perhaps you aren’t aware of how much of a militant atheist you come off as. Out of curiosity, have you ever put the bible in the fiction section?

    I would never read an innocuous meme comment condemning slavery and think “ah yes, time to make a point about religion being fake and bad”.

      I wouldn’t consider myself a militant atheist as much as an agnostic maltheist or dystheist. The comment that it’s fictional is more of a joke i added, knowing how riled up some can get regarding the topic. I haven’t ever placed that book in the fictional section, as i don’t visit libraries all that often, however i would certainly consider it hilarious.
