They're fascists, plain and simple. It absolutely doesn't matter what "holy book" they wave about, be it the Bible, the Qur'an, Mein Kampf or The Art of the Deal.
It’s not that they believe they are sinless, it’s that they believe their beliefs have made them pure in the eyes of “the Lord” this is really a threat of “convert to our religion or die”
Man who wants to stone women uses religion based on guy who allegedly claimed no one was righteous enough to be the one to stone a woman for adultery to justify the stoning of women for adultery.
And yet somehow I get the feeling that this individual would take offense at it being pointed out that he is technically advocating for (ancient) Jewish law trumping Christian principles.
In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?” They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him. But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.” Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground. At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there. Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?”
“When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.””
John 8:7 NIV
TAKEN INTO CONTEXT, Yeshua was revealing the hypocrisy of the ones charging a woman with adultery. It is believed he wrote their sins in the dirt right before he said that.
Rolling Stone, doing its part to stoke the fires of the culture war, when we should be focused on class and all of the fucking billionaires, not ultra fringe right and left nutjobs who in no way represent mainstream anything.
Trump had dinner with a white Christian nationalist. The right wing nut jobs are now mainstream. So while I acknowledge the class war is important, ain’t no billionaire gonna tell me to “go back to your country”.
