Ah, Supply Side Jesus, what a dick.
If you don’t want to pay taxes, then don’t use the roads!
Jesus: walks on water
And lo, when he saw the moneylenders working out of the temple, he said: “see how the wealth of these men sometimes falls out of their bulging pockets, and look, they pay that man who carries their wealth enough to survive. I mean not to own a house, or to live comfortably without fear. But you know, he can rent one of their spare houses for just most of his pay, and if he is sick, they shall call to him and say ‘look, we really need you in tomorrow, you need to be a team player.’ They truly are the most righteous of men, for does not my father say: if I wanted the poor to be rich, I’d have given them gold?”
Jesus wept.
… and wipes away his tears with a $100 bill and throws it away … sniff
Supply Side Jesus
These idiots don’t worship a god … all they believe in is money and wealth … it’s the new age religion, dressed up as a middle eastern prophet and based on a magical book that no one reads.
I read it multiple times. The New Testament and parts of the Old are full of wisdom still relevant today. The core theme of the New is to think for yourself.
I started thinking: “Why in the everliving fuck would an intelligent being create such a diverse species then expect them to all to enlighten themselves the exact same way?”
It wouldn’t. And, that’s why I’m not a Christian.
The best Christians I’ve ever met are exactly where Jesus would have them: serving the most sick in the Catholic Church.
I’d been in churches and been a Christian myself for years and years and then I met an actual Christian. He was leading a team running an orphanage in east Europe. He’d sold his house so that he could start and fund the place and rescue kids from the sewers, prostitution and heroine. The kids there were happy and healthy and played around him like he was some father abraham. He and his team would go out at night to rescue the kids from living in the drains. He told us about an 11 year old boy who he had warned repeatedly (the kids were legally free to leave) and who they had found just a few nights ago dead in a sewer from a drug overdose. He wept bitterly at all the things he thought he could have done better.
Jesus, and his whole deal is just the yardstick they use to judge the rest of us.
