You have the Christofacist nutjobs who want this, the power hungry fucks who want to control others, and the cowards lacking any ethics that don’t want to offend the Christofacist nutjobs.
The christofacists wants to punish people who are not like them? That’s not in accordance with the teachings of Jesus, is it? I find mild amusement in the fact that according to the beliefs of these people, they themselves are probably going to hell…
Do you know much about the bible? The Republicans are basically the Pharisees from Jesus’ time.
Revelation also predicted that there’d be evil shitheads who claim to be Christian but actually follow the Anti-Christ, but that was an easy prediction, there’s always evil shitheads who claim to be good, in any time and religion
The one time Jesus went HAM, chasing religious leaders around their temple with a whip, and whose temple was it? Zeus? Bacchus? Any of those graven-image, many-gods cults? No - he went after his own Father’s priests for being money-grubbing hypocrites.
I’m guessing that story doesn’t come up often at CPAC or prayer breakfasts.
Not familiar enough to know details like that. Is “Pharisees as obsessed with man-made rules (especially concerning purity) whereas Jesus is more concerned with God’s love; the Pharisees scorn sinners whereas Jesus seeks them out” an ok eli5 and tl;dr summary?
Yeah, I guess man kind is good at evil and shithead, unfortunately.
A key thing with the Pharisees was that they were obsessed with the appearance of being pious, rather than actually being so. Much like many modern Christians who are obsessed with appearing faithful and just, but aren’t so concerned with actually following Jesus’ teachings
That’s true of every fascist regime using religion as an excuse. The Taliban isn’t following the teachings of Islam either, just the parts that give them control.
