A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Oh, 100% true. The logic behind the God of the Bible doing this to forgive our sins is asinine. Some good moral stories from the Gospels (some bad), but the story itself is the product of its time and place, not anything divine. I only didn't insist that in the title because it wasn't the focus of the thought.

Oh sorry. I agree with everything you said in your reply. I was just being stupid. I quite liked your post, and I myself am not religious. Mainly just wanted to mention old Gregg.

Great post, I had a quite sensible chuckle when I read it.
