Jesus would die in an ICE detention center

[-] Dookieman12@piefed.social 66 points 2 days ago

Jesus would be called a woke, radical-left, Democrat terrorist, libtard snowflake, then deported.

Ya gotta ditch that woke hippie shit. I like to embrace my fears and insecurities and then find the parts of scripture that really seem to fit my personal ethos.

[-] ccunning@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

That’s how you know Jesus isn’t republican…

[-] yoriaiko@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 day ago

Jesus died for marcos sins, so marco is clean now and will be proud o all he do now, and even go to heaven! /s

Well you see, if you blend the camel into a slurry, dilute it down, and then shoot it through it in a thin stream, threading the eye of the needle is no problem

[-] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 22 points 2 days ago

So, to get into heaven, we just need to blend billionaires into a slurry?

Sounds reasonable.

The Elon Musk solution.

Fascists are more concerned with knowing all the lore and doing the cosplay correctly than understanding the context of the message or living the virtues as a modern person

Which the Bible explicitly calls out. Can't be bothered to research it in the scripture right now (I'm an agnostic these days) but it says it's better to revere God privately and mean it than to make a whole performance out of your faith just to look good.

Hey, fellow former Christian! Do you also find it infuriating that we know more about Jesus' teachings than literally every politician who claims to be a Christian?

Matthew 6 is all about this. People think the Sermon on the Mount was just the beatitudes, but Jesus spent more time talking about how wrong it is to make a show of your faith.

Matthew 6:1-4

“Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.

“So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

And it keeps going.

Verily, and thank you for the quotation! 🙏😅

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Unfortunately, it's a classic case of self-contradiction. Both old and new testaments are full of calls to openly and explicitly praising God.

Cases in point:

  • God instructing Joshua to have the Israelite army, led by priests carrying the Ark of the Covenant and blowing rams' horns, march around the walled city of Jericho.

  • The Great Commission in Matthew 28:19–20: "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations..." and Mark 16:15: "Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation."

Add the Communists too.

[-] Thor_Whale@lemmus.org 14 points 1 day ago

You have to remember that religion to these guys is self-serving. They feel their job is done when they write their charity check. This is why organized religion is dead.

[-] ChaoticEntropy@feddit.uk 38 points 1 day ago

Marco Rubio is such a pathetic man.

[-] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 day ago

Yeah, the rest of Trump's crew are incompetent whack jobs that have no idea what they're saying or doing.

Rubio isn't stupid. He knows what he's doing is wrong.

[-] falcunculus@jlai.lu 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Let's dispel with this fiction that Marco Rubio doesn't know what he's doing. He knows exactly what he's doing.

[-] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 day ago

Yeah... that's what I said.

[-] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 1 points 1 day ago

It's also what Rubio said.

[-] EpeeGnome@feddit.online 38 points 2 days ago

This is the very essence of Christian Nationalism.

[-] dumnezero@piefed.social 25 points 2 days ago

Always has been. Don't let the "good ones" convince you that there's some redeeming quality to Christianity.

[-] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 21 points 2 days ago

Or to any religion, for that matter

As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly. ~Proverbs 26:11

[-] slemptastrophe@piefed.social 22 points 2 days ago

As far as holy books go, The Bible sets one of the worst moral standards to follow. These shitheads can't even live up to that.

Book of Karen: verse 1 chapter 0

...and so it was that Karen did flip the table, for she was tired of the terrible service. The people around her in the "Chilli's" all turned their heads in a singular motion towards her. Several loud 'cracks' could be heard; for they hadn't turned their heads in years. Their necks were for up and down..for music and phone; not the unexpected actions of a woman scorned by "Chilli's".

She demanded a blooming onion, not the unkindly service of those who care only for money and time off to spend it.

[-] MagicShel@lemmy.zip 18 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Chapter 0, Verse 1 starts in medias res? that's some fucking Karen shit right there alright.

No no no. Everyone misunderstood his meaning. When he said "I", he literally meant himself and fuck everyone else. Give him your everything and then go away or be shot.

[-] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Fash gonna fash. The actual problem is the fact that we live under the violent control of these creeps.

The most harmful religion by far: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_religion

MATTHEW IS A COMMUNIST MARXIST SOCIALIST

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

Somehow it's evil if government acts on the Bible, unless it's the punitive and murderous parts. Government should do those things, clearly /s
