  • Mate, I think you’re missing the point - whether you “deserve” bad things or not is completely irrelevant - bad things happen to good people all the time, the universe does not care.

    The only thing you can do is try to be better; but not on other people’s judgement just yours - you are the only person who has to live with your conscience.

    You may go to jail if you’re doing illegal shit tho…

    To be fair, not just a problem with modern Christians, if you read ‘Daemonology’ by James the 1st (of England, 6th of Scotland and the one who wrote/edited the King James bible version) he took it quite literally too.

    I’m still not sure if it’s a case of ‘wilful ignorance’ of the bits they don’t like, or a ‘Forest Gump’ “stupid is as stupid does” - probably both, with a sprinkling of grifters thrown in.

    it’s available at Gutenberg.org if you’re interested; it’s, um, an interesting take…

    He wrote it as a response to the “proliferation” of witches in England - so with no agenda at all! /s
