Remember jesus's mom was a virgin, that means jesus had no Y chromosome.

Jesus was born female and lived her life as a man.

God, despite being male presenting identifies as non-binary.

You can't just walk around with half a genome. Clearly the other half were god genes.

They don't "follow the bible" so much as they "use the Bible to justify their shitty worldview"

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 10 points 10 hours ago

If you want to get on that nerd shit, they don't bother to correctly translate the bible. The singular instance of condemnation of homosexuality is better translated as a condemnation of pederasty. And we've already demonstrated that Christian church leaders have no problem with this.

Also, when he said to love your neighbor as you love yourself, he wasn’t just talking about feelings or tone of voice. He was talking about the way you treat them. He insisted that people are required to provide care for others at the same level you care you provide for yourself. Food, shelter, clothing, medicine, friendship, you are responsible for all those things no less than your own.

And who is your neighbor? He answered that, too. The people you hate. Those of other foreign places and religions. All of them. The out-groups. And however you treat them, no matter how little you think of them, that god they claim to believe in says he takes it very personally.

Personally, I’m a fan of that radical leftist Jesus guy. It’s a shame that “Christians” are the opposite of everything he demanded and stood for.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 46 points 16 hours ago (3 children)

This is the great thing about Christianity.

Their holy book is so vague and so contradictory (even the four gospels don't agree on details) that you can pick and choose whatever the heck you want to justify your worldview. It's a 'Choose Your Own Adventure' religion.

[–] Seleni@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

The Bible is a wonderful book; you can prove anything you want with it.

-Mark Twain

[–] zalgotext@sh.itjust.works 5 points 10 hours ago

And before Christianity, the old testament and Judaism was the same way. It's almost like all these religions purposely steal whatever local belief a particular culture holds at the time, and then twists it however they can to benefit those in positions of power.

[–] 87Six@lemmy.zip 22 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

They don't love Jesus, they love their perception of Jesus

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 7 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

A hateful and exclusive white jesus?

[–] Aneb@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Is there any other type? Besides for racist and anti abortion

[–] 87Six@lemmy.zip 1 points 6 hours ago

There's also the type that says you have to shill money out for churches instead of poor people

On that note it's fucking baffling to me that elderly people making fuck-all from their pension see this giant pretentious building with expensive wall paint and gilded pictures and think "I better donate to that"

The bible is so two faced and full of contradictions. Like this:

Psalm 139:21–22 “Do I not hate those who hate you, O Lord? And do I not loathe those who rise up against you? I hate them with complete hatred; I count them my enemies.”

[–] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 9 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago) (1 children)

The love one another stuff is specifically and basically exclusively a feature of the New Testament, as are all of the passages listed here. Old Testament God was much more pro religion-based genocide and enslavement. But most Christians will tell you that the New Testament/Jesus revised the old biblical laws and messages. So any "good" Christian should be leaning on it for moral guidance, instead of the books that promote vengeance, slavery, incest, rape, murder, maiming/mutilation, etc.

[–] Nomorereddit@lemmy.today 4 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

Not according to jebus!

Matthew 5:17-18 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.”

[–] undergroundoverground@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Even this one?

2 kings chapter 2 verse 23-24

From there Elisha went up to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, some boys came out of the town and jeered at him. “Get out of here, baldy!” they said. “Get out of here, baldy!” He turned around, looked at them and called down a curse on them in the name of the Lord. Then two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the boys.

[–] Nomorereddit@lemmy.today 2 points 6 hours ago

This one too:

Ezekiel 23:20 NIV

There she lusted after her lovers whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses.

[–] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

It's actually exactly this quote that they claim supports the argument that the coming of Jesus overrides the old laws. Not that they are eliminated, but that they are "fulfilled" by/through him. This is often interpreted to mean that where he specifies, they are changed or replaced through him. Such as declaring all foods clean, change from the vengeful "eye for an eye" to the pacifist "turn the other cheek", expanded adultery to include lustful thoughts, etc.

I'm not arguing in favor of this interpretation because it's all fiction anyway. But that is the common Canon.

[–] Nomorereddit@lemmy.today 1 points 10 hours ago

Stop arguing against me, per God.

Leviticus 19:32:

"Stand up in the presence of the aged, show respect for the elderly and revere your God. I am the Lord."

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

What is the context of that verse? It could be an example of how not to behave. (Do not mistake this for me defending the Bible, there is no shortage of contradictions or vile shit in it.)

[–] Nomorereddit@lemmy.today 1 points 10 hours ago

Shut up, per God. I old.

Leviticus 19:32 – "You shall stand up before the gray head and honor the face of an old man, and you shall fear your God: I am the Lord."

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 16 points 16 hours ago

This John dude seems to have been quite the wokist.

[–] FistingEnthusiast@lemmynsfw.com 87 points 21 hours ago (6 children)

Religious people are disingenuous by nature

Everything inconvenient is a metaphor, everything they like is the literal word of god and cannot be questioned

[–] ArgumentativeMonotheist@lemmy.world 33 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Those people don't believe in anything, they're just dishonest about it, lol.

[–] FistingEnthusiast@lemmynsfw.com 38 points 20 hours ago

They just want divine justification to hate the people they fear

Beloved

Let us love one another

For love is of god and everyone who loves

Is born of god

And knows god

He who doesn’t love

Doesn’t know god for god is love

Beloved

Let us love one another

[–] scarabic@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago

He played himself by calling them “people,” didn’t he?

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 1 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

Treat others as you would like to be treated, one of the messages from Jesus I learnt from the religious school I went to in the UK. The good Samaritan is another.

[–] BroBot9000@lemmy.world 30 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

Blue checkmarks fund Nazis!

[–] vaionko@sopuli.xyz 1 points 8 hours ago

Remember when the "verified" check mark meant that the accout was verified to be who they claim to be?

[–] Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 12 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

Agreed. I think that's the stage we're at. It's not occult or shocking anymore.

"Swastika armbands support Nazis!"

"Well, yeah, man, that's why I'm wearing it."

These people are openly spouting the same rhetoric as the Nazi party and vehemently oppose criticism of it. They can't be shamed this way.

Just to provide an answer of a cynic: "lgbtq people are not one of us"

[–] OldChicoAle@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

Me: "Jesus said another. Not 'love the same kind of people '"

[–] itisileclerk@lemmy.world 8 points 17 hours ago (4 children)

Jesus didn't say such a thing, it was John, Rom, Thess, Peter, John again. (BTW who are Rom and Thess)?

[–] ChaoticEntropy@feddit.uk 15 points 16 hours ago

Rom is a Ferengi in Star Trek, the brother of Quark.

[–] Lumidaub@feddit.org 5 points 14 hours ago

John would be quoting Jesus though, no?

[–] luciferofastora@feddit.org 4 points 14 hours ago

Romans and Thessalonias, two parishes Paul wrote letters to; the "books" comprised of those letters are named after the respective parish.

[–] sickday@fedia.io 7 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

rom is likely the Romans and thess is likely Thessalonians

[–] stiffyGlitch@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

odysseus is that you?

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

When you set yourself apart as “special” and above everyone else the rules don’t apply to you.

[–] stiffyGlitch@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

hasn't anybody here grabbed a bible, looked at the first page, and read this sentence: "The waters fell upon the waters, which separated the waters from the waters." or a variation of that?

[–] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

If Jesus didn't say something are they not allowed to do it?

Jesus never said not to run people over with your car so is that ok for these people?

[–] gndagreborn@lemmy.world 15 points 20 hours ago

They won't necessarily say it, but they don't consider 'THEM QUEERS' people. Not as long as almighty god still backs the boys in blue and the NRA.
