7 Apophis - once an extremely powerful Goa'uld System Lord. Arch enemy of the Tau'ri, he impersonated the ancient Egyptian deity of chaos, darkness and fire.

[–] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Apophis is a false god. Say it with me, it’s what you really believe.

[–] emotional_soup_88@programming.dev 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You will pay for your insolence. With your life.

Taken per capita, probably LaVey. Taken as "Total harm done" it's Jesus, no contest

I would honestly agree. The fanfiction is getting out of hand.

Jesus while he lived or modern? cause that's two completely different groups of people.

[–] ArgumentativeMonotheist@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Jesus, by far. The people who have been murdered in his name is probably close to or over a good billion, right?

He's not really a "foundational figure of Christianity" though, his image was just co-opted by the Roman empire which then created the religion also co-opting the actual "Jewish revival" Jesus was at the core of (bringing the fundamentals of monotheism back into mind and expanding the teachings to everyone, not just a small select community).

[–] realitista@lemmus.org 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Not disputing you but I'd be interested in how you arrived at this count.

Completely eyeballed it but I included every Western imperialist project that was done with Bible in hand and chanting variations of "Deus Vult", so that's large chunks of Asia, most of Africa, all of Latin America, and every Western incursion on West Asia from the Crusades to Iran today. And let's not forget the pagan persecution in the West itself by the Romans. That's a shit ton of people through the ages, right?

Jesus never asked for wars in his name though. It’s not part of his teachings.

Christianity changed a lot once it became the dominant religion of the Roman Empire.

However Christianity also brought a lot of positive social changes with the focus on forgiveness and helping the unfortunate for example.

It was spread by conquest, but also peaceful friendly missionaries. These missionaries often invented a writing system for the illiterate people they visited.

Oh yeah the man was a prophet of peace, I'm not putting it on him. 👍

[–] IntriguedIceberg@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago

I'd argue that by mere statistic, Jesus wins this one.

[–] mrmisses@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

Jesus has trump so, jesus

This is a terrifying post to comment on

[controversial reply with a healthy mix of upvotes and downvotes that’s ambiguous enough that you’re not sure if they’re serious, confused, or bad at sarcasm]

5 has the best quote. I don't agree with the sentiment (most days), but it is absolutely hilarious: " [...] democracy basically means government by the people, of the people, for the people... but the people are... retarded."

You take that back or so help me I will end you

[–] notaviking@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I feel the inclusion of Jesus does this list a disservice, could have been like a Buddha, Mohamed, Jesus.... List and I think that would have been better because of the league Jesus is playing in. Basically skews the list.

But the first 5 in the list is an awesome list to choose from. I would say Rasputin due to the shit show Russia was going to be put through that I feel he was the straw that broke the camel's back and led to cascading events I feel still persists

Agreed

I use arch btw

[–] FreddiesLantern@leminal.space 12 points 1 week ago

Of the top: Catholicism, evangelicalism, Mormonism, Jehovah’s witnesses,…

I mean this list goes on and on. They all have one guy in common.

[–] sad_detective_man@sopuli.xyz 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Anton LaVey's crowd are chill as hell. Just a little cringe but whomst amogus has not had notions of doing catholic mass naked except for a mask and a cape?

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That's like defending Christianity based on the charity and love. Yeah they've got some awesome bits, the problem is that they has to mix Ayn Rand bs into their ritual orgies

Which one has people knocking on my door again?

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

That's probably those damned Rasputin's Witnesses.

[–] itisileclerk@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago (3 children)

For fuck sake, blond Jesus? This is (one of many) proof(s) that they are worshiping imaginary god and his son. They imagine the son with blond hair, I am guessing speaking English and talking about America.

[–] pjwestin@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

Blond Jesus has a way more toxic following than Historically Accurate Jesus.

I don't know but I find number three wildly amusing. Some parts of my former edgy 16 year old libertarian atheist refuse to die.

Underdale and Deltatune for sure

3 Belief in or acknowledgment of a satan just reinforces and legitimizes christianity.

[–] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

LaVeyan satanists aren't deistic, they don't actually believe in Satan.

They don’t need to.

I recommend studying Crowley and Osho.

[–] Aeao@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Colin Mockery in square one.
