Imagine believing in a guy who allegedly told as many people as he could to spread tolerance and acceptance for literally everyone, then going and preaching the exact opposite while saying they’re doing it because he said so. Incredible.
36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” 37 And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is the great and first commandment. 39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 40 On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.”
There’s several more, but most Christians don’t actually read their book
22 A Canaanite woman from that vicinity came to him, crying out, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is demon-possessed and suffering terribly.” 23 Jesus did not answer a word. So his disciples came to him and urged him, “Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us.” 24 He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.”
People act as though Jesus was a paragon of virtue, but even according to the Bible, he could be a right bastard sometimes.
Religious people scare me. They’re willing to end the world because it would mean the “coming of Jeebus”. Same with muslims, they believe that their Messiah comes back when the world ends. So, they have no problem ending it.
It’s happening in Canada and it sucks. American companies have acquired a large swaths of the Canadian news landscape and the radicalization of rural Alberta/etc. is happening at a terrifying rate.
As a someone working in a library here in Australia, this plague has spread this far and we’ve seen a very large increase in the number of ‘complaints’ and threats to staff
I agree, don't want to paint them all with a broad brush. It's just so many don't follow the pretty plain and simple lessons he was supposed to have taught
It is worry about, from the African rise to even here in the UK chruch groups I know we're once quite liberal.find more and more free resources online that made by us evengelics and the jolly permissive vicars of 15-20 years ago are being replaced with radicalised younger zealots
Agreed. The far right is on the rise and a huge ideology clash will happen sooner or later. It's weird how we are living a copy pasta from the last century, a pandemic, a war between two countries in Europe that sparkle echoes of what happened before WW1. And then the pandemic, the inevitable economic crash, nazis feeling comfortable speaking about ethnic genocide and whatnot.
Truly scary time ahead.
Fortunately, I live in Canada where right wingers à la Donald Trump & the GQP cultists are mocked out off any political position with actual power. They hate Justin Trudeau but all they offer are carbon copy of the worst of the worst the US can offer so they better get used to Trudeau
Same here in New Zealand, but we lost a Prime Minister due to the concerted efforts of the far-right. Donald Trump would never make it here, but they can chip away at the institutions we built. I'm fine with another ideology clash, we can push them off the map again for another generation or two.
I noticed that far-right ideologies and conspiratorial thinking picked up shortly after the start of the pan. I linked this with the flu of the 20s and the rise of fascism. I’m still pretty convinced that they are linked.
