This made me laugh incredibly hard, so had to cross post it.

Good literate and understanding Christians know how to read the Bible and understand it is fiction storytelling, as is clearly spelled out. It is not a non-fiction history book. It is science fiction storytelling, very inspiring, like George Lucas Star Wars inspires people.
Bible verse John 1:1 - God is language and only language, God is words and only words, God is memes and only memes.
Bible verse “1 John 4:20” - how “I love Jesus” is wrong, how “I love God” is wrong, You can not love a fiction character in a story you have never seen, all hate of living human persons is wrong.
Bible verse '1 John 4:20" - repeating for emphasis: hate of all living human persons is wrong. Hate is bad.
In the Bible storytelling, verse Romans 11:32 - www.Romans1132.org website I created to educate people on this topic - you will see it is plain as day that the story character “God” is the origin of all sins and that all sin is forgiven with mercy.
But ideas beyond Twitter-length mockery and mocking take a little more effort than snark and insults.
The Tower of Babel metaphor of humanity is one of the most important concepts in understanding why people behave the way they do over language usage and differences in interpretation. I created a Lemmy community for you @DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social so you can better understand the complexity problems of diverse use of human languages in writing and verbal, electric media communications / media ecology study, and even body languages.

I was born in Columbus Georgia and my brother Jeff lives in Georgia currently. There is a serious problem with Bible Literacy. I created a Mastodon electric media platform hashtag hashtag Bible Literacy Crisis on the topic.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr was a world-famous preacher in Georgia. We should be helping her better understand how to comprehend the imported Levant Bible storybook and not just using social machines to mock and dehumanize Marjorie Taylor Greene.

“The Baptist Georgia governor won a majority of evangelical Christian voters in the 1976 presidential election. Next time around, those voters had changed sides—for the long haul.” … “Before this sustained propaganda barrage, however, many of those questions had not yet acquired any hard-line partisan or denominational coloration—indeed, in 1973, when the US Supreme Court handed down its decision sanctioning the individual right to abortion, Roe v. Wade, Carter’s own Southern Baptist conference issued a statement supporting the ruling. Instead, Carter became vilified among religious conservatives for several specific policy decisions.”
What a sad, pathetic waste of time this comment was.
I see you are giving Twitter-length one-line reaction comments at least 4 times so far on this Lemmy posting (“‘Evil is being defeated by God’: Marjorie Taylor Greene celebrates after Pope’s death”). Anything beyond Twitter-thinking length must be too much for your mind right now. I’m sorry you suffer from such literacy problems and egoism, it is very common on Lemmy, Reddit, Bluesky, Twitter that people have such low literacy that they are only able to react in negative ways when they can’t comprehend a topic.
This sort of problem of Twitter-length literacy simple-think “Hate Harder” values and reactions to complexity has even overtaken the White House in January 2025 where I live, the United States of America. It’s a very sad and sick situation I am living under in April 2025 :(

“In America, everyone is entitled to an opinion, and it is certainly useful to have a few when a pollster shows up. But these are opinions of a quite different roder from eighteenth- or nineteenth-century opinions. It is probably more accurate to call them emotions rather than opinions, which would account for the fact that they change from week to week, as the pollsters tell us. What is happening here is that television is altering the meaning of ‘being informed’ by creating a species of information that might properly be called disinformation. I am using this world almost in the precise sense in which it is used by spies in the CIA or KGB. Disinformation does not mean false information. It means misleading information–misplace, irrelevant, fragmented or superficial information–information that creates the illusion of knowing something but which in fact leads one away from knowing. In saying this, I do not mean to imply that television news deliberately aims to deprive Americans of a coherent, contextual understanding of their world. I mean to say that when news is packaged as entertainment, that is the inevitable result. And in saying that the television news show entertains but does not inform, I am saying something far more serious than that we are being deprived of authentic information. I am saying we are losing our sense of what it means to be well informed. Ignorance is always correctable. But what shall we do if we take ignorance to be knowledge?” ― Neil Postman, Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business, 1985. !BackTo1985@lemm.ee

“Too long, I can’t read beyond 3 words”
Literacy problems abound, many people can no longer read printed paper books. Neil Postman’s 1985 book “Amusing Ourselves to Death” covers that problem.
