Happy birthday TO THE GROUND! -Matthew 21:12
Profit-seeking with religion should not be A PART OF THE SYSTEM!
Yeah, except... it always has been. Since the invention of religion as a placebo against mortal fear, etc. 🤣 Place your safety in someone else, get domesticated, ... , can't bitch later. 🤷🏼♂️🖕🏽
I mean, I'm not blaming the parents or surrounding community for abetting centuries of oppression, exploitation, obfuscation, anti-intellectualism, and child rape... but any of them that decry their generations of continued complicity? Are fucking morons and a liability to everyone around them (as a risk of culty behavior, in the least) 🤢
~~maaaan~~
Jesus stormed into a temple and started whipping the living shit out of everyone. They were collecting money and were counting their spoils in the temple. They had made a mockery of a holy place.
In a similar vein, the government is in the pockets of big business and are collecting money and are counting in in the "temples" built by taxpayer money. Where is Jesus to whip them now?
Im not a christian or religious even, but that was a good story. I get what Jesus was doing and why he did it.
So want to know something even better? First criticism of fascist pigs is in the bible. The demon legion and their banishment uses a pig and is seen as a social criticism. Legion being the roman military as well, not just a large grouping.
I believe my name has great binds and I've done nothing but research.
Camel and the needle is often question why is it so ridiculous? A child needs to understand the rich are not an ally. Simply put, it is an obvious example to show how deliberately heaven is locked out. Heaven is a state of being reached here on earth, through reverence your name ascends with the thoughts of the people. It is artistic flare. In death you will be honored, remembered, and if you did great - canonized. (Heaven as a state of being is assumed because you only can make progress in life to reach it, extremely comparable to enlightenment. However buddhist traditions deliberately explore the physical, an important aspect assumed in the bible)
It's why I find it so difficult that I agree with the saint hood of luigi becoming a real thing. He killed a leviathan but awoke something more.
The tower of babel? A beautiful story about how the world's rich built a tower. Why? Many reasons, personally with god actively striking it down narratively. I see it as a direct act being defended from, so I agree with the imagery of rich men trying to cheat themselves into heaven. Do you really think they would just allow entrance into this tower? A public service?
The story of the good Samaritan is pretty obvious. The system in place for religious and spiritual folk, the ones meant to care, is broken. Status/money is more important. Even priestly purity cannot act. It takes people helping others, regardless of creed, gender, race, etc.
I just need a whip I guess
Has anyone used religious freedom to successfully fight against vandalism charges like this? I feel like Christians might have a valid case with this Supreme Court. They won't even make "Christian companies" sign paperwork for their employees to get the healthcare they say violates their (?) religious beliefs that are not at all biblical, so an individual doing as Jesus does should be an easy win. Hell just say you were praying over a football team during the vandalism and you should be golden, right?
the key is understanding that conservatives' religion is conservatism. any challenge to their own views through religion must be anti-christ worship (even though they're the ones obviously following the anti-christ at this point)
Exactly if they actually followed teachings of Jesus they would be "tree hugging leftists".
Conservatives just exploit Christianity for their own selfish goals.
It's insane to me that conservatives hide behind religion and idolize people with incomprehensible amounts of wealth. It also occurs to me that none of these extremely wealthy people who are seen as leaders have any grasp on the teachings of Christianity and are not concerned with the afterlife.
I'm not saying having wealth is inherently sinful but having the means to effect positive change and instead continuing to line your pockets while the world burns when you already have enough wealth to live a hundred or thousand lifetimes in absolute luxury probably earns you a special place in hell, if it exists.
Ay yes, Jesus... one of the first MTG pros
Destruction of equity totally cool totally legit.
"What would you do if Jesus came and flipped over all your tables? This is my livelihood! This is how I eat!"
Is it destruction of property when said property is illegally set in your (father's) residence?
Because that's the reason behind this. He wasn't just making a ruckus because reasons. The community in there was kinda using the property against the agreed upon terms.
If anything, he could have called the cops (Romani ite domum) on them
It’s very clear Jesus was trying to Martyr himself. Dude walks into a Roman province and calls himself a king, or heir to one. Romans and kings don’t mix. Then he shows up in Jerusalem at the height of a pilgrimage month and holiday, when the entire Roman garrison is trying to keep the peace between religious and ethnic groups. He then walks into a temple and starts flipping shit and whipping people, pissing off the religious leaders who are now complaining to Roman authorities who don’t give a shit and just wanna keep the peace. And his followers are lopping off ears of soldiers. By the way why do Jesus disciples have swords? Why would Jesus need swords? Protection? He’s god no? Seems silly
assuming any of that even happened.
To be fair, he was not at all unique in doing this. First century Judaea was a very complicated place that ended in the fires of the Jewish-Roman Wars, the destruction of the Temple and the ethnic cleansing of the Jews by the Romans.
