A lot of atheist find the Christ message of love and tolerance interesting though, the rest of the bible? Meh.
It’s a bit like saying, a lot of atheists find the Scientology message of self improvement interesting though, the rest of Dianetics? Meh
Not the same. Actually reading the new testament and about what Jesus did and stood for, compared to what the church was teaching, is what actually got me thinking for myself and eventually becoming an atheist.
The ‘teachings’ of LRon Hubbard on the other hand, are JUST bad ideas, badly interpreted (or manipulated), wrapped up in a fancy bow for those too naive or vulnerable to spot there issues (ok, so that’s where the similarities remain)

He really didn’t have a message like that.
well, in their defense they are forgiven and allowed to sin until they return to donate more money… i mean ask for forgiveness.
If that God exists, the irony is that he would see right through them.
The idea isn’t to be evil and hateful until the last 5 minutes before death. I would even argue that that plan in itself would be another form of evil. It wouldn’t be true penance or regret, but instead, it would just be a way to save themselves at the last minute. Selfishness.
It could also maybe be seen as an insult to that God, to believe that he as an all-knowing deity would somehow not know their true intentions.
Yes, I find it fascinating how much religious people want to cheat their own god. There are entire systems of rituals and actions to show everyone how faithful you are. But you are showing it off to other people, not god.
It would only be ironic if god and heaven were real. Otherwise those duplicitous fucks go to their graves never knowing true retribution. My only hope is that they die with the uncertainty of not knowing, and their last few moments of lucidity are spent in internal existential angst.
This is not true
Atheists tend to follow Jesus more closely than Evangelicals, they just don’t need a leash to be good people.
