Real Christian voter values

Supply side Jesus!

I doubt Southern Christians could understand the sarcasm, but I still want a campaign of billboard signs with quotes like these across bible country

That's a gofundme I would throw a few bucks at. How much does it cost to take a few billboards for a month or two on I-40? A few thousand?
- I don't really know where I-40 is or have an answer to your question, so this comment is tangential at best. Sorry.
  Last time I drove through Ohio there were two kinds of billboards, often alternating:
  Jesus hates sinners! Repent!
  Hardcore strip club with naked ladies and full penetration, next right!
  It was quite an entertaining dichotomy.
Southern Christians had their own version of the Bible to justify slavery. They told these stories to their slaves.
TIME: How Christian Slaveholders Used the Bible to Justify Slavery
- Do you know if they still adhere to the slavery Bible? If so, they probably wouldn't even know how far from what Jesus actually taught they are, and our billboards would be useless lol

Then Jesus said to the children "Pull yourselves up by your bootstraps".

And then Jesus said: "It's her fault that she got raped and pregnant. Kick her out of our community, that whore."

He probably really said that at some point in his life.

I mean, he accepted Mary Magdalene who was a literal prostitute.
- Mary Magdalene was not a prostitute. That's a common misconception.
  The portrayal of Mary Magdalene as a prostitute began in 591, when Pope Gregory I identified Mary Magdalene, who was introduced in Luke 8:2, with Mary of Bethany (Luke 10:39) and the unnamed "sinful woman" who anointed Jesus's feet in Luke 7:36–50.

  But Jesus was most certainly very accepting of people from all walks of life. That was like his whole purpose. So the other comment about him rejecting people from the community is dead wrong. If anything, people reproached him because he was too accepting of the "sinners".
- That's just him acknowledging sex work is work
- Everybody needs a squeeze...
  Ghandi had teenagers around him for totally not sex.
And then Jesus said "yeah, but what was she wearing?"
He probably really said that
"Take her from this place, and bring her back to my place, where my own hands will see she receives that which she is due."
- I think you're quoting somebody else.
  But for a real quote,
  Let him who is without sin throw the first stone.
That's some old testament shit though, technically doesn't apply to christians.

Pull yourself up by your sandal straps

i can't stand that spaz

spreading garbage morals that I have to listen to from Gimp God Apologists such as:

pay your taxes to oppressive empires, lol
can't solve poverty, fam
defending yourself is actually killing yourself
slavery? no broad complaints, why?
of course i can forgive the sins you committed against completely different people

It was the best of Jesuses, it was the worst of Jesuses,

it was the Jesus of Do Onto Others, it was the Jesus of Martyring Thyself,

it was the Jesus of The Last Will Be First, it was the Jesus Seated At The Right Hand,

it was the Jesus of Turn the Other Cheek, it was the Jesus of I come not to bring Peace but The Sword,

it was the Jesus of Universal Salvation, it was the Jesus of The Apocalyptic End of All Things,

we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way –

in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest evangelicals insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.

I don't like this no true scotsman crap with Christianity. If you think Israelis went from oppressed to oppressor in record time, Ima introduce you to this Constantine dude who flipped the script in an afternoon. Because Jesus did what? Helped him in battle.

From that day forward, militant, violent, and expansionist Christianity was the norm. All that crap about the poor is just the "slave morality" that's naturally shed once on has power. They didn't betray Jesus, they upgraded him to a god of war.

I mean...I feel like "upgrading" Jesus to a god of war IS betraying him. Certainly betrays everything he actually stood for. (Or at least that the character of Jesus in the Bible stood for. Not sure there's any real evidence Jesus ever actually existed) Edit: good = god
- There's plenty of evidence Jesus existed
