and look at those suspicious smiles.
i think there may be a gun hidden in this picture somewhere!
Doesn't that include original sin, which is basically everything anyone in your family ever? So magical hippie dude still dies for something of you don't sin.
According to be bible, Adam and Eve caused people to be born with the sin of knowledge and Jesus forgives that sin through baptism. Every other sin after that is absolved through confession and penance. Thus we have deathbed confessions, as long as you talk to a priest and say a couple hail marys just before you kick the bucket, you're all good to be a giant piece of shit for the ~80 years before that!
I like the part in the Bible where Jesus said "do unto others as others have done unto you."
Side effects may include being a real prick toward people you don't like. Especially if they're marginalized already.
Do you hate your life but are lazy and a coward about introspection?
Do you hate the potential happiness of others more than helping yourself?
Then the republican party AND its' churches are perfect for you!
I want to upvote this but it's currently at 666 so I'll let it be.
It's at 706, your time is now.
I feel like it's an underappreciated point that Christians have never followed Jesus; they follow Paul. "Christian" has always been a marketing term for an imperialist, non-Jewish (and in fact, anti-Jewish) religion that took over the momentum of a small Jewish sect that died out once it became clear Jesus wasn't coming back.
Point of order; it took a few centuries to really get the anti-Jewish swing in progress. If it had been in full swing earlier on, there’d be no old testament.
The fact that Paul was a Jewish Gnostic is just - bonus.
After leaving the church, I've always found Saul/Paul's conversion story a bit suspect. So you mean to tell me that you're just out on the road one day, going from town to town persecuting Jesus-cultists, and a beam of light from heaven strikes you and tell you that what you actually need to do is join the Jesus-cultists, but spend the rest of your life assiduously walking back every radical thing they believe? Suuuure. I think maybe ol' Saul just saw a movement with a power vacuum at the top and thought he should be one to fill it.
Well the character “Jesus” is so clearly a continuation / rewrite of solar deity characters I think Paul must have had some task to “sell” it, but who/why/how I can’t speculate.
Are you implying that Christians are responsible for the preservation of the book they culturally appropriated?
