Critical thinking simply stops. It’s incredible. I saw someone say to a Christian that their morality comes from divine revelation from a magic purple hippo that created the universe and the Cristian accurately identified all the problems with that argument. Then when asked where morality comes from, regurgitate the exact bullshit they themselves debunked with God in place of the purple hippo.
Yes they really celebrate blind faith explicitly. Like it makes you a better person if you can put your doubts aside and just believe. And they straight up call us all a flock of sheep. It couldn’t be more on the nose as a scam. This is why every church has a daycare attached to it: if they don’t hook you young they might not get you at all because it’s such a huge steaming pile of bullshit.
Basically don’t point out small faults of your neighbor while ignoring huge faults of your own.
It’s a metaphor. No one has a beam in their eye. But it’s a metaphor that drops suddenly in the second half, because you can literally imagine a mote in someone’s eye.
Its a bibpe verse against hypocrisy, essentially correct yourself before correcting others. Take the log put of your eye before you take it out of someone else’s. The painting shows a guy talking with a log his face.
What the other person said but specifically take the tiny little thing out of your eye, before telling someone else to take the big huge thing out of their own.
Wrong, you mixed it up and therefore got the final morale wrong.
It says “while you have huge issues to fix for yourself, don’t criticize the small issues in others”. Or in other words “don’t expect others to be perfect when you’re not even adequate”
I dont think its a good idea for Christians to be picking at that thread
I think it’s a fantastic idea, I just don’t think they’ll like where it leads.
They’re SO deep down the hole with their big lie that they think everyone ELSE is lying to himself. Truly amazing.

The bible even has something to say about it:
Always loved that one.
What does the quoted passage mean and how does this painting relate?
“mote” as in a speck of dust
“beam” as in a huge plank of wood

Idk I can picture a jagged 2x4 giving me a Phineas Gage style impromptu lobotomy just fine.
Personally I went to Hunter the Parenting episode one when Kevin gets speared through the eye, don’t worry he got better.

Hm so people who are better than me can criticise me; I guess that makes more sense. I like both perspectives tbh
I mean everyone has areas in which they suck. So you could also interpret it as “nobody’s perfect, so don’t judge others for small shit”
The best parts of theology are the parts that engage in introspection.
I think they’re safe, its too deep a thought for them to catch on
