The rise of SJWs like the author has pushed me from anti-theist to commissioning a crusading zweihander and plate armor. They are being forged in the fires deep below mount Sinai, quenched in the offal of the virgin birth, engraved with entire Bible, and inlaid with the iron of the Holy Lance.
It's amazing, isn't it? 6 years ago I was posting on /r/atheism every day and watching thunderf00t dunk on creationists.
SJW's have very quickly taught me precisely why people need to be told there's an invisible all-powerful sky-daddy who will have them raped and tortured for eternity if they disobey him.
The book that solidified a lot of of the ideas about Hell wasn't the Bible, it was Inferno, the first part of Dante's Divine Comedy. He took the place of darkness, blended in a big dollop of Tartarus, and built the modern ironic Hell, where your torment is not only eternal, but symbolic. Even the structure, with treachery and betrayal as the worst sin, is rather Aristotelian in outlook if I recall correctly.
It hasn't been about exactly what the Bible said for a very long time. I'm sure all of us of the internet atheist generation laughed at the rules in Leviticus. "Thou shalt not wear a garment that is woven of two sorts." and such.
