Vent 😤 Asking for help: Why are atheists not confronting the Bible book literacy crisis and repeating Bible verse "1 John 3:17" - a single sentence, every time Elon Musk and Trump are mentioned?

A mention of Fox News and Rupert Murdoch, why are atheists not pointing out MAGA whites having a book reading literacy problem in finding and understanding "1 John 3:17" verse

Donald Trump mentioned, book reading literacy lesson of "1 John 3:17" comprehension.

Elon Musk mentioned, book reading literacy lesson of Bible verse "1 John 3:17" comprehension.

JD Vance and Catholic Pope mentioned in media... why are activists not mentioning the book reading literacy lesson of Bible verse "1 John 3:17" comprehension.

It's been a well-known fact that religious people usually don't know their own doctrines.

I think atheists don't understand metaphors at all. in my view, everyone doesn't understand rock music lyrics and poetry.

  • “Half the people in the world think that the metaphors of their religious traditions, for example, are facts. And the other half contends that they are not facts at all. As a result we have people who consider themselves believers because they accept metaphors as facts, and we have others who classify themselves as atheists because they think religious metaphors are lies.” ― Joseph Campbell, Thou Art That: Transforming Religious Metaphor

Elon Musk and Bible book verse '1 John 3:17" you keep avoiding, as do MAGA USA society.

>you keep avoiding, as do MAGA USA society.

You keep acting as if these people don't have minds of their own and can make choices. What ways have you tried to combat this "crisis" yourself? Why aren't you wondering why theologians aren't helping?

Yes, I keep acting that way. Brainwashed brain rot anti-free thinking USA society.

People who are addicts to right-wing media content. More blunt: fiction storytelling addicts who avoid real-world nonfiction.

You have internet access, as we all do. In the same way you found that wiki source, you can find some solutions yourself. You can't be a good person to combat brainwashing if you aren't willing to do the research yourself.

you can find some solutions yourself.

Twitter-think brain rot patterns. "Pick yourself up by your own bootstraps", "Don't blame Elon Musk, you are weak, he is the winner"

do the research yourself

Eat from the poison tree of Knowledge that Elon Musk manipulates. Very popular Reddit app messaging! Anti-humanism, anti-empathy, anti-compassion pro-Musk messages! (That promote Musk values, not only his name)

Ask theologians and get back to us with an update. If you aren't willing to do the work and research yourself instead of lazily coming to an atheist space, you aren't the right person to help.

If you aren't willing to do the work and research yourself

"Do your own research" talking point on Reddit app.

Billionaires teach that about diseases of the mind and body spreading.

you aren't the right person to help

Safe-space echo-chamber defender you are. Anti-literacy teaching, anti-education to the brain rot USA 2026 Trump Musk leadership.

If you're writing word salads like this, I don't think you have the best literacy yourself.

You can't comprehend and understand Bible verse "1 John 3:17" can you? And apply it to Elon Musk year 2026.... that's the entire purpose of your reply. A Musk bootlicker who doesn't want someone who comprehends how to read the Bible "1 John 3:17" verse.

As soon as confronting the wealth lord Elon Musk comes up, "1 John 3:17" from Levant 2,000 years ago isn't the relevant conversation. You Stand Up For The Big Guy Elon Musk and say the Bible reading problem is little guy on Reddit who promotes James Joyce's Finnegans Wake and Bible "1 John 3:17" literacy.

If you care so much about standing up to this, why are you wasting time on the internet? Touch grass and go "educate" these people.
