Billionaires usually being proclaimed followers of Christ is so ironic since Jesus preached about giving away all your belongings before joining him.

As someone who was raised by conservative evangelicals but actually read the bible instead of cherry picking from it, Jesus hated the rich and would fuck them up with a whip in a rage.

@trinityblair 100%

I left the church because I was tired of the hypocrisy, but I've always said that Yeshua was actually pretty cool and had some really really good and important things to say, and most Christians should probably actually pay attention?? instead of using religion as an excuse for horrible horrible bigotry and violence?? maybe??

@nofunoverlord @trinityblair I mean #God from bible is actually quite a fucking evil beast.

#Christians at some point were like. Wait a minute #Jews. This god from old #testament is worse than satan. Lets introduce #Jesus who is a mild version of god from old testament.

A lot of #religions around the world were built to control and abuse people. Same as #political movements and concept of global #economy. Its all to enslave majority to give power to minor group who have the power.

@grayrattus @trinityblair yeah I say throw the old testament out? most Christians spend more time listening to it (fucking awful? and like.... god did not write those books? people did??), or listening to the letters from Paul than they do actually listening to Christ?

@nofunoverlord @trinityblair but its the same god. If you don't believe in old testament as words from god you have no background to believe that Jesus was a messiah.

Jesus without old testament is just random dude who was killed for his beliefs xd

@grayrattus @trinityblair ... what's wrong with Jesus just being an anti-capitalist anarchist being killed for his beliefs? he doesn't need to be "the Messiah"

so yes absolutely I can still be like "Jesus was cool as hell and the old testament is complete garbage"

the Bible is literally just catholic propaganda. they controlled what's in it long before other Christian religions popped up

pretty sure the life and times of Jesus only made it into the Bible because the Catholics knew they needed to soften up their image if anyone was going to believe they were doing good.

@nofunoverlord @trinityblair well the problem is that it is not true.

If #Jesus existed he literally believed in #God from old testament and now you say that you can turn his image upside down, shake it, make bad things fall out and leave only "cool dude jesus" part.

Its kind of a lie. But yeah. Whatever makes you feel better. As long as you dont kill gay people, punish women or embrace slavery, believe what you want.

@grayrattus what's with all the #Hastags #mydude it's really #weird and #discombobulating when you #do it

oh i just looked at your bio, you're one of those atheists, eh?

Evangelists of any degree are really tiring and you sir, have tired me out

@nofunoverlord I actually use hashtags as otherwise finding stuff in fediverse is a huuuuge pain.
@grayrattus yeah hashtags are great when used properly but when they break up text they're really annoying. maybe it's just my ADHD brain but I have to spend extra processing power just to comprehend what you wrote
