The people yelling look at me I'm a Christian are not what I consider Christian. This is greed, power & revenge for whatever perceived slights they feel. Christians are compassionate, caring and open to differences. History will not remember you well.
I actually had this exact conversation last night. Apparently people are still using “survival of the fittest” as a blanket excuse like my friends did in high school.
Because they will donate millions to churches and private schools…why?? Because those schools don’t educate like they should and indoctrinate the kids.
Have you read the bible . Don't wish you are wrong be glad you are right . That books full of a jellious god that kills allows rape murder slavery no need to wish you where wrong
Well, this Christian did not vote for the disgrace convict.Who has been indicted in wanting to starve children amongst other things.He's a disgrace to our government, and he's not a leader , he's just evil.
There’s a lesson here but it isn’t about capitalism. There was profit being made all around him in societies he walked, but he was offended by commerce being done in the Temple.
Christians have turned his religion into commerce by turning fabulous profits in church. He would not spare the whip.
Agree, but it's not just that it was in the temple. The location represents profit from religion, which I think is your point.
Capitalism isn't a sin if it works in service of mankind. Blasphemy and greed are, and I find the greed of Christians to be a unique kind of blasphemy.
I’m a Christian and many I know are Christian’s who, like me, didn’t vote for Trump and his billionaire buddy. This question of how any could be OK with starving children should be put to any human: Christian or non-Christian, or atheist, gay or straight. Because all types voted for Trump.
If you feel it is sick, then why are you asking Christian’s if they are OK with Trump starving children? According to you, you already know the answer: it’s because the read a sick book.
You Christians are constantly making excuses for yourselves for other Christians. And it's always the same bullshit excuse (God's will.) and you and your religion use that to justify murder rape and theft for thousands of years.
You don't get to preach morals to the rest of us you're a Christian.
Non Christians and atheists do not hypocritically pretend, to follow a man who preached to not judge, to love your neighbor, welcome the foreigner, while doing the exact opposite of what Christ taught.
Yep, did any one tell them. that Jesus kicked out the money lenders and other vendors from the temple. This event is known as the cleansing of the temple,
Bible verse. I wonder what these christians would do to Jesus today, probably crucify him.
Yes there was. Jesus flipped their tables because they didn't belong in his father's house. It's a well known story. Why did you comment this without first looking?
Yes it does... he flipped their tables for buying, selling, etc.. I used to be a junior youth pastor and a missionary. I know your BS religion inside and out. I just grew up and stopped believing in fairytales. You should try that.
I don't really have any gods. There's a couple of saints that hold sentimental value to me, but no gods to speak of. Maybe Loki. I like to think of him as a patron saint of the gender non-conforming
How about all the missions that the evangelicals have overseas that work directly hand in hand with usaid and other federal agencies that assist them those people are seeing it up close and personal
White Christian nationalists have taken over the country but the people are getting really pissed protesters starting to make the news more, you know the news that is actively being censored and filled with propaganda
My spirituality comes from within all of us I think we have created the Mythos of an external spiritual source when it's been inside all of us all along
I have found that atheists tend to embody the ideals expressed by Jesus much more than modern Christians.
In fact, I almost always enclose the word "Christians" in double quotes these days...
I discovered many of the younger gens don't even believe in god or any religion anymore. Most just say they do, because they are afraid their families, friends and communities will shut them out completely. It's sad. It's why I hate conservatism. Everyone has to believe, everyone has to be the same.
So sad. Im sorry that happened to him. My entire family treats me like crap, because Im not conservative, I don't believe in god and always been a tom boy.
I hear you. My youngest sister didn’t talk to me for several years because she fell into an evangelical church. I can’t bring up politics with any family either. I don’t have much to do with my brother because of his pro trump stance.
This part of the book was added from the Catholic Archie h and is controversial to the original message at the book, for respect, acceptance , love and kindness ….which is all against the business model of the Catholic Church
They won’t answer here, but I know they’d probably cite Jesus saying how the poor will always be among us, ignoring the qualifier that Jesus said he wouldn’t be here much longer (implying that after he was crucified, the poor SHOULD be prioritized)
Yes please Christians answer some questions.You all are ok with pedos in your house of prayer,obviously you are ok with pedos running our country in the ground.Now your dear orange felon has accepted 2 more pedos in our country.You like that? Maybe they can babysit your childrenThey like them young
Christians say Jesus' teachings are "too woke for modern times"
So they're, as my brother says, CHINOs. Christian In Name Only. They don't actually know his teachings or abide by them. They just wear it as a badge to belong to something.
I know you are speaking to the christians who call themselves christaina and do bad things, and not speaking to ALL christians, but sometimes it reads like you're speaking to ALL christians, and that is bothersome to us "regular christians".
Please be careful of the choice of words being used.
Like many things the kindness and stories of him are parables meant to teach morality, all religious stories and main characters are reused, recycled, and renamed
It all makes sense when you see it from their perspective.
The Evangelical Far Rightwing extremists know today as Evangelical Christians look at us as evil. We are demons who need to suffer before they vanquish us. It would be prudent to look at them the same way.
The stuff they did in real life because of that fictional book is even more horrific. Impalement over the course of weeks is one that constantly haunts me
They don't believe in the teachings of Jesus. They use Christianity as a shield to make excuses for their disgusting behavior, like racism and misogyny. The Ku Klux Klan and Nazis did the same.
Because "THOSE" people need to pull themselves up by their bootstraps, of course! Get the kids back in coal mines! Make the poor suffer so a rich person can exploit them.
God has a purpose beyond our comprehension for allowing these children to starve. Plus, the children get to return to Him as angels with their hearts and souls still pure.
Barry Goldwater: “Mark my word, if & when these preachers get control of Republican party, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Politics & governing demand compromise. These Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them.”
Well, I'd say, they finally read that book.. rape, incest, slavery slaying of children in the name of God... it is all in that "good book". Please don't give them any more ideas...
Ironically the rich love to use religion but instead of teaching people how to fish would rather buy the lake, charge you for the rod, charge you for a license to fish and then sell you an overpriced fish because the lake is actually empty but without consumer protection, no one does anything.

If it wasn’t full of these things, then one might say the Bible was full of lies.
It’s my free choice, and if it sounds like a tap dance to you, I’m not too concerned.
My concern was that your post targeted Christians who voted for Trump while giving the atheist and others who voted for Trump a pass.
You don't get to preach morals to the rest of us you're a Christian.
Your argument of a few bad apples is bullshit because you all worship the same false idol.
Bible verse. I wonder what these christians would do to Jesus today, probably crucify him.

Christians: You woke sinner!
Feed the hungry.
Heal the sick.
Clothe the naked.
House the homeless.
Invite the immigrant.
Love your neighbor.

They just got good marketing
I'm going to mute you now so that I don't have to see anything else you say 😘
Hispanics are not the only catholics, so I'm not really sure where you're going with that
It's also very obvious they haven't studied The Book of Fables or they would have stoned #TheStain instead of worshipping it.
"THE BIBLE!?" Which version is the one true, verified, and authenticated one out of literally thousands?
They're hypocrites. Plain and simple.
As the Bible says,
“Do unto others before they can do it to you.”
(I was actually told shit like this growing up.)
