Republican Jesus has taken over the US Supreme Court, while following the teachings of the actual Jesus gets you charged with a crime.
Every day the corrupt stray further from the light of God. It’s not even a religious concept. Just be a good person. That’s all Jesus ever asked, and it’s the same thing an ethics professor will tell you. Just choose to be good.
Why is it so hard? And why do so many evil people, especially fallen religious people, obsess about punishing people who choose to be good and loving in their little corners of the world? Why is that even your business?
That's not all Jesus ever asked. Jesus asked for morality and kindness comes with that.
Jesus didn't just ask people to be good. If you really delve into the new testament with a critical eye, you may notice that Jesus was a bit of a dick throughout. He calls people derogatory names, condemns innocent and unknowing souls to an eternity in hell to prove a point and force others to follow him, he is a total copyright troll; flipping tables and condemning followers who make a buck selling Jesus merch, he's a classic mooching street urchin character who convinces working men to give up on their careers to become vagabond beggars, and you gotta be a huge narcissist to do the whole 'eat of my flesh and drink ofy blood' bit. Really, Jesus' followers are exactly like him; control freaks with NPD and a grudge against humanity for not following them blindly, who make themselves victims to prove a point.
done. you're wrong
Dang, maybe trump IS the second coming
That fig tree has it coming
