One of my favorite movies lines is from School Ties.
Dr. Bartram: ...and the meek shall inherit the earth.
David Green: I wonder how meek they'll be when they do, sir.
MAGAts are Power mad and drunk. Very bad combination
The same ones who tote their "faith" around via bumper stickers & every chance they get to mention it...& then you find out they only go to church on the major capitalistic holidays.
Don’t forget the satan-like(satan meaning adversary) behavior, as if they’re trying to embody everyone Jesus ever told off.
Oh, and harassing random strangers on judgements they have no premise to even make.
Yeah it's honestly just mind boggling these types don't realize THEY are a big part of the problem. Probably think they're going straight to Heaven cause God will forgive all the shit they do while alive, giving them more reason to be awful.
The fact that some think big government and more taxes would be Jesus's solution to these needs is troublimg evidence that the government has become religion to many.
Blessed be the tax men, politicians, and beaureaucrats?
"The Good Samaritan stopped to help the injured man, and was immediately seized by Immigration Officers and deported.
"The injured man bled to death in the gutter, warm in the knowledge that the foreigner would trouble his land no more.
And the puddle of his own blood too, of course."

Matthew 11:28-30: "Give me your tired, your poor; your huddled masses yearning to breathe free; the wretched refuse of your teeming shore; send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me. I lift my lamp beside the golden door".
It's maddening to know that people think their taxes pay for things their taxes don't pay for.
If congress needed to collect taxes in order to spend money, that would be one thing but that's not how that works
It amazes me that the so called”Christians” never ask their Jesus what he would do before making difficult decisions that have huge impacts on the needy people around them.
Republicans Christocrites don't see Jesus as anyone they should emulate, they see him as their "Get Out of Any Moral Obligations and Demand Forgiveness After-the-Fact" pass.
Remember when the Christian motto was “what would Jesus do”. It seems like ages ago but really not that long ago when you saw the bumper stickers WWJD or spelled out.
Good point. With the advent of Jediism from the Star Wars fans there's a good chance that Trumpism will emerge, whether it will be cloaked as a Christian metaphor is still to be seen.
Oh, he will be a prophet, maybe even a jesus replacement. They like him much better than the original. I can see it now... the miracle of curing the nation of covid. The miracle of dodging a bullet. Lol
They are slowly coming to the conclusion that the Jesus doesn't coincide with their modern beliefs. Which I mean, they say they warship Jesus, but act like it's really genghis kahn or Vlad dracul the third their worshipping. I digress, they did just vote for the modern day caligula
Whatever/whether Jesus of Nazarath was, his US Christian Nationalist followers have more in common with Inquisitors/Crusaders from the Middle Ages than the 2nd/3rd-hand reporting (+voluminous editing driven by political situations) of what Christ’s message allegedly was. https://www.ngrippel.com/ideo.html
Then Jesus said to the sinner - the rapist, the groper, the child molester, the bully, the liar, the thief, the swindler, the snake oil salesman - "Confess, repent and your sins willl be ..oh shit"
Even with all the evidence available, America just voted to die younger and have bad teeth by destroying Obamacare and removing fluoride from drinking water.
It's frustrating, but I think of how eggs were good for us then not good and now good again in moderation. Disrupters can make use of this. And the star power of some of the disrupters is a factor, I think. The public hasn't cottoned on to this manipulation. They're busy clicking. My Guess.

I stopped listening after he said police officers were killed at the capital. That has been proven false. I knew more lies would be coming after this. A shame, because he had a chance to say something significant. Instead he went to satan for content. Sad.
Doug Ford, the premier of Ontario took his personal motto from the the final "commandment". He wakes up thinking this. I believe he has it painted above his bed so it's the first thing he sees each day.
He does a good job at making it seem like he would prefer of we would just die and disappear. 😊👍
"If you get hit, hit back harder" -- LOL, I just authored an equivalent line in a piece I'm writing, dubbing it The Football Codex. Now I see how wrong I was. Thanks for providing the credible source. 😜
Everybody can be caught up in the wrong company - I am somewhat against absolute views - not that I disagree with the sentiment - but I am more of a Kierkegaard man myself ❤️
I will never get over a recent story about a priest, gave a sermon- maybe sermon in the mount- and a couple parishioners came up after & asked where he got that story. He said from Jesus in the Bible. They replied that it was too woke. 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
It is always interesting how religious affiliation affects political affiliation despite an inherent promise and value that the church and state should remain separate. Guess that's just how the cookie crumbles.
Then Musk says to the homeless:
"You lie, you are violent, drug zombies with dead eyes and needles and human feces on the street.”
Then Trump says to the homeless:
"You should be forced into treatment or face arrest. I will bring back mental institutions and create tent cities for this treatment."
This is the version of Jesus that should have been crucified. I would even furnish the nails! Not the compassionate, loving and kind Jesus I was raised to believe in. Unfortunately in the New Testament it ends up being the good ones dying young. (Jesus was only 33 y/o when he died.)
I distinctly remember Jesus saying that at the end times he will get people claiming they preached in His name and he will banish them saying “I don’t know you.” Now, I may end up being there since salvation is not guaranteed until death but I can think of many goats.
I don’t think you would ever know this, but Jesus was actually a proto-socialist, as in, he was socialist before socialism. His ideals and values match up with the modern socialist or less extreme communist’s greatly. Ie; care for sick and poor, equality, etc.
I have a deep belief that no one would recognize Jesus these days. Just had a discussion with a Christian on Mike Johnson. She said he is a good man. I said he’s a misogynist little shit.
My mom has an issue with any measure that doesn’t specifically and directly benefit her life. She has an issue currently with the city’s funding of teenagers’ bus passes. I asked her if she would rather have them driving. She said “no”.
But to her it is “taxation without representation.”

Those comments always drove me batty. As if making a choice means you can never complain about the conditions of that choice, ever.
Interesting fact!
I think the Palestinian from Galilee would approve 😍

Guess they are reading a different Bible?
that's not the bible that's The New Colossus by Emma Lazarus
similar meaning, but clearly a different quote
Point of statement, they definitely are not reading the same bible. 🦋💙🦋💙🦋💙

Christians: "stand your ground! you can kill someone if you feel threatened"
Then it made me cry.
Then Jesus said if your spouse is mentally ill, then you can divorce
Then Jesus said, I will neither write anything nor designate anyone to write anything about me.
Jesus didn’t deal a lot of stuff
There are simply too many stupid people for it not to live on. And they love religion.

Obviously, they could leave Gaza back then...but still...Rome was a lot like the Anglo-American Empire today.
Blessed are the powerful, for God hath bestowed this power upon them.

Blessed are the uneducated, for their votes shall bring forth the glory of God’s chosen orange julius
