Since the global pandemic, we've learned a lot about some of the people around us...
<p>Such as the fact that they don't believe in science or facts. Though they use science to get through their daily lives (internet, transportation, medication, etc.), somehow, part of the population is convinced that the virus is a conspiracy created just to inconvenience them.<br></p><p>We're all familiar with such folks.

People Share The 'Plot Holes' In Their Religion That They Find Hardest To Reconcile
August 06 | 2020
Religion can be a beautiful thing...
<p>But even the most devoted can notice flaws. While learning the stories behind your faith, or reading religious texts, there may be some passages that make you do a double take. Maybe it's outdated or completely lacking logic, but sometimes there can be humor found in it.</p><p>Redditor <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/i1o99j/what_are_some_plot_holes_in_you_religion/" rel="dofollow" target="_blank">u/sebastian-yrigoyen</a> asked people to share the plot holes they've noticed while practicing their religion, and some people made very good points.</p>

Could someone explain the rules for heaven?
<p>Late to the party, but in Islam there's the belief that God knows everything you will do before you're even born. Meaning that we don't control our own actions. At the same time, to get into Heaven, you need to-- of your own accord-- pray 5 times daily, read the Quran, etc. So my thing is this: If God knows what everyone is gonna do beforehand, and He <em>knows</em> people aren't gonna do what it takes to get into Heaven (cause he is omniscient); doesn't this then mean that God has already decided who goes to Heaven and who gets Hell? Cause there's no possible way in any Abrahamic religion (cause they all operate under the "do this to get into paradise" thing and all have God knowing everything before it happens) that we'd be able to try to get into Heaven. And this is just the tip of the iceberg on questions</p><p><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/i1o99j/what_are_some_plot_holes_in_you_religion/g0ejf3g?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x" target="_blank">tartarcassy</a></p><div class="ad-tag" data-ad-name="In_Content_Responsive_36" style="min-height:280px"></div>

Or did God make marriage a thing in the future and just brush it off since Marriage wasn't a thing back then?

The mysterious story of Easter
<p>Why did they roll a big rock over the the entrance of the cave where Jesus's body was taken to after he died? It seems like something that was insanely impractical for people to do at the time. Was it common practice to throw bodies in a cave and then seal it? If so, was Jesus the last body to be put in? To a non-believer, it just seems like something the story added to make the story more convincing, but it doesn't really make sense outside of the set up for a resurrection story.</p><div class="ad-tag" data-ad-name="In_Content_Responsive_5" style="min-height:280px"></div>

<p>On the same subject, I've heard a preacher talk about how Jesus basically teleported out of the cave after the resurrection, but god apparently sent an angel to sit on the boulder which was moved out of the way (for no reason). That implies that not only was there a resurrection, but god thought it wasn't miraculous enough and had to add a dash of showmanship to the whole coming back from the dead thing. What's up with that?</p><p><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/i1o99j/what_are_some_plot_holes_in_you_religion/g02cxj2?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x" target="_blank" rel="dofollow">piejam</a></p>

The ridiculous life spans of Biblical figures
<p>Christians claim that the people in the Bible lived to be absurdly old. For example, they say that Noah was around 650 years old when he built the ark and didn't die until he was older then 900.

Political Optics

<p>This one is easily explained and historically substantiated. Rome was working furiously to kill all the Christians. However, it just wasn't working. It seemed the more that they killed, the more their numbers would grow. Constantine saw a political opportunity and followed the advice of the old adage "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em" and officially changed the religion of Rome to Christianity. Most consider it a politically motivated decision. The Catholics say he converted himself and the entire country and they recognize him as an important figure in the history of their religion.</p><p><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/i1o99j/what_are_some_plot_holes_in_you_religion/g00plrf?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x" target="_blank">redditorhowie</a></p>

Lilith?
<p>Lilith, who was Eve before Eve. She was created first to be equal to Adam, but didn't take kindly to constantly being told what to do, so she was kicked out of paradise (or left of her own will maybe). She supposedly had sex with angels or something, creating other tribes. Then God was like, "Well, screwed that one up. Next one will be a total sub." And so he made Eve out of a piece of Adam to make sure we always remember that women are owned by men. </p><p><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/i1o99j/what_are_some_plot_holes_in_you_religion/fzzh6uj?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer dofollow">HostilePasta</a><span></span></p><div class="ad-tag" data-ad-name="In_Content_Responsive_32" style="min-height:280px"></div>

To the Point!
<p>I could live my entire life, adhering completely to the Christian moral compass, save millions of lives, treat every person with the utmost respect and dignity, refuse all toxic thoughts and actions, and yet (according to most Christian dogma) I would still burn in hell for eternity if I didn't believe the Christian God exists.</p><p>That sentiment alone tells me that morality, and the course of our lives in general, is irrelevant in the end. All that matters is that the Christian God gets recognition. That God, to me, sounds more narcissistic than benevolent and loving.

<p>There's also issues such as, if God is truly omnipotent and omniscient then he could have purged the world of all suffering and pain. But he hasn't because... he loves us? Because somehow the gift of free will, and therefore the gift of imperfection is more important than letting your children suffer and experience pain? Some children are born into poverty, beaten, starved, and killed before 10 years of age, without ever seeing kindness. What's the lesson there God? Why must you treat the creations you love with such disdain solely to "make a point."</p><p>I could go on.

<p>God teaches us that it is a sin to be envious, and to be prideful, and that we must have compassion and understanding for others.

Morals be damned
<p>No longer religious, but one of the biggest contradictions in Christianity is that human beings by nature are <em>morally</em> imperfect beings. Yet a necessary component for the forgiveness of sins includes having the right sort of beliefs toward Jesus. How does it make sense that a person's eternal destiny relies <em>solely</em> on an <em>imperfect</em> being having a specific belief. I think we can all agree that human beings are morally imperfect, but I'd argue that they're far more imperfect when it comes to having true beliefs (assuming Christianity was true). It seems entirely unfair that that is the thing that people are judged on. People would have to be epistemically perfect to be judged on their beliefs. </p><p><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/i1o99j/what_are_some_plot_holes_in_you_religion/fzywi43?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer dofollow">StaticCoutour</a></p>Woof

To Hell!
<p>Not my religion, but why a Christian will condemn someone to Hell for being gay (condemning someone to Hell also being forbidden), because Leviticus, while eating shrimp and covered in tattoos, also Leviticus.

After you've lived someplace for awhile, you learn what is acceptable in a community.
<p>
There are unspoken rules we all follow. For example, don't cut in line. Or, always offering to pay a dinner bill. It's these little things that keep us all getting along for the most part. A downside to traveling, especially abroad, is that you don't know what others expect of you. You may mean well, but your actions could be seen an rude or insulting.

This very specific taunt doesn't fly in Romania
<p>In Romania (mostly in the north west) yelling "Istenem pierdut Ardeal" has been known to cause massive street fights between hungarians and romanians. "Istenem" is magyar for "Oh my God" and "pierdut Ardeal" is broken romanian for "we've lost Transylvania" making fun of the hungarian minority status and the stereotypical hungarian who can't talk romanian well (emphasis on stereotypical) all at the same time.</p><p><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/hrsfdb/what_is_a_big_nono_in_your_country/fy9mime?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x" target="_blank">mihai786</a></p><div class="ad-tag" data-ad-name="In_Content_Responsive_5" style="min-height:280px"></div>

<p>Being left-handed. It substantially lowers your life expectancy, in part because it's easier to hurt yourself if the world is designed completely ass-backward for you.</p><p><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/htydge/whats_much_more_likely_to_get_you_killed_than/fyn6tu1?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x" target="_blank">fluffychonkycat</a></p>I don't understand why you wouldn't wear a helmet
<p>Not wearing proper protection (helmet, leather coat/gloves, covering exposed skin) while riding a motorcycle.

Socializing is a tricky thing.
<p>People ask questions to get conversations rolling. "What do you do?" or "See any good movies lately?" are questions we're familiar with, and have probably heard from strangers on numerous occasions.</p><p>But some people don't know what an appropriate question is. Or, they have trouble reading a room and ask you to answer something that makes you feel awkward. You'd think some questions would be universally considered off the table, but then again, some people just don't seem to care about how others feel.</p><p>Reddit user chickenoodlesoupp asked people, "<a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/hp9xzr/whats_the_most_uncomfortable_question_you_can_ask/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x" target="_blank">What's the most uncomfortable question you can ask someone?</a>" and people opened up about the questions they've been asked, or have asked in poor judgement, that were totally inappropriate or weird. </p>

<p>Once, back in college, when meeting my then-girlfriend's parents for the first time, her dad greets me with a handshake.

<p><em><strong>Edit to add:</strong> </em>He didn't mean it in a threatening way or as an "alpha" move, and that was perfectly clear in the moment. My girlfriend had warned me that he was a bit of a kidder, and I was also aware of the fact that they were very open when it came to discussing sex. I knew before I met him that her dad knew we were sleeping with each other, and that it wasn't something that had to be kept secret. I just didn't expect to be greeted with it during introductions. </p><p><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/hp9xzr/whats_the_most_uncomfortable_question_you_can_ask/fxq1wog?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x" target="_blank">djseptic</a></p>
