I'm not Christian, but if I had never learned anything about it over the years, today I would assume that all Jesus talked about is whose genitals people touched with their own.

For Performative Christians, it’s so easy to forget the whole “Christ” part.
(similar to Musk’s smash n’ grab DOGE having nothing to do with Government Efficiency.)
You can't say "I'm a Christian" and then preach exclusion.
No, you preach the devil.
A cat can't say it's a dog. You can't say it's a dog in name only
I will deny them the comfort of calling themselves something they are NOT
He had some good views on a lot of things, but son of god, meh
It's not so much that we care where you put your genitals, it's the idea that I have to care. Tolerance and acceptance doesn't require me to condone, embrace, or celebrate your choices. Woke says "you will be made to care."

Later caught an airport bathroom stall, having sex with another dude.
These people have a sin complex. Pretty sure they could use some counseling and stop pretending to being righteous.
Ten Commandments? Wrath and punishment for sin? Always.
But love everyone and show mercy and kindness to strangers and the poor?
Never.
If I had to wager, I'd bet a few of the apostles were gay.
Oh-oh lightning is striking as I speak.
I am a 40 year disciple of Jesus, and this genital talk is very recent.
-Mark 10:13-16
No hate like Christian love, writ large
Faith is divine. Religion is too easily and too often weaponized for evil.
If you listened to actual Christians, such as Jesuits you might be exposed to actual Christianity.
People who shriek about Christianity when they don’t understand that Catholics went to actual war to fight these policies are a waste of bandwidth.
I find it interesting how in both stories, the first woman on earth was trusted not to do a thing, then did that thing, then brought great curses and an important trait for all of humanity.
Though at least with Pandora's box the horrible stuff was already there and just released.
But with Adam and Eve it was petty punishment, making it hard on the whole class type petty
which one are you?

The love of Christ is absent in their philosophies and policies.
They don’t follow Jesus.
Religion, is the tool of choice. Because much of it puts you beneath it. As unworthy...
That some people think this is what the state should do makes me vomit.
So many young children’s lives destroyed in the name of God.
In the end ALL religion destroys lives.
It’s all just POLITICS in disguise.
Some will see it as a good thing
I'm not saying ALL priests or pastors are rapists. I'm saying the safest way in America to be a serial rapist is to first become a priest.
And to that end there are a hell of a lot of "Christians" who should really be putting their stones down!
Atheist here!
Can't reason people out of a position they didn't reason themselves into.
For example if I do good, of course I would want someone to judge me by the same measure I judged them.
However if I'm guilty of doing wrong, first I need to do right THEN I can see clearly to help others out.
But . . . Not that kind of “love”.
More mercy, inclusion, caring for your neighbor kind of love. Sigh
I have a hard time with that kind of love when interacting with any Christian that supports the orange hate blob.
love
peace
patience
kindness
joy
goodness
faithfulness
gentleness
self control
Just to give you some insight, here's a list of every time I've been persecuted for my beliefs:
(Yeah, it's blank)
Religion is just a convenient means for some people to self-aggrandize. The truly devout don't go advertising themselves out loud 24/7.
Like, I don't know much, but I know for certain Jesus wouldn't recognize this as his movement.
That Bible makes people do and say strange things. Why I heard that the late Reverend Jerry Laymon Fartwell Sr. had sex with his own Mother in an outhouse. Read it in Hustler.
And you can keep the 8 of the 10 Commandments. They basically just say "Thou shall not be an asshole."
Next time you VOTE, choose leaders who serve the public, NOT THEMSELVES. #VoteWisely
Like 'transgenic' mice, people intentionally use words for their own agenda.
Jesus did not come into this world for the rich, the powerful, or the hypocrites.
His love is for all who need, and share compassion & kindness
Morale of the story… worry about your own bits and bobs
On a different note: I’d still need evidence that the lightning bolt was directed by a god, and not simply the statistical result of him pulling around a bunch of metal sticks during a thunderstorm…
It's just another form of indoctrination.
The Hebrew scribes wrote two books.
One, the Talmud for Jews and one, The Testament for Christians.
So is quoting Christianity being sexist?
The main man warned us about those wolves..
Love one another - no fucking way
Turn the other cheek - you out of your mind?
Nah, those "Christians" only pay attention to the bits in the OT that they think give them a pass to be shitty to others...
What I actually do, is quote the bible back to them and ask them questions about why they've interpreted Jesus's words in such exclusionary ways.
They are wolves in sheep's clothing.
They wear Christianity as a shield for themselves and as an excuse for their bigotry.
I am not a Christian but Jesus by all accounts was telling us something true.
