Matthew 25:34-46. This should make it plain what Jesus says in the book these fake fuckers never read.
Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, 36 I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’ 37 Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? 38 And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? 39 And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ 40 And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers,[f] you did it to me.’
41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.’ 44 Then they also will answer, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to you?’ 45 Then he will answer them, saying, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.’ 46 And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
It is not the religions that are the problem, in my view, it's the people who (don't) do what religion actually says we should do.
An ex-US Marine turned Buddhist Priest called Marat gave a talk in Philadelphia. He said: (paraphrased) "We tend to divide religions vertically. We put Christianity in one self- contained column, and Judaism in another self-contained column, and Muslims in another column, Buddhism in another, and Hinduism in a different column -- and so on. But all religions teach essentially the same things: helping one another, helping the poor, being fair to each other, and listening to the teachings (through religion) of the Power that made us., in order to live a worthy life
Therefore, the Buddhist Priest said said," We should divide religions Horizontally, not Vertically: If you are above the horizontal line, you actually are doing what all the religions teach. If you are below the horizontal line, you are not doing what any religion teaches".
Religion sure does have a history of that, doesn't it? Plus religion gets dragged into actual political aggressions, like the Crusades, where a king wanting to make a land grab "justifies" it as a "Holy War" -- and nothing can be less "holy" than a so called Holy war. History is full of hypocrites using "religion" (in name only) to justify vast, heinous crimes. I think the problem is the human animal being deeply flawed, and using anything that sounds like a good excuse to commit whatever inexcusable actions they want.
I don't agree. Some people are born evil. You need to do a lot more research! 👁️ I have for 40 years now. Don't believe everything you think. Learning is knowing. #MATA Make America Think Again.

Hey, have you ever read Max Weber’s “The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism?” That seminal work says capitalism arose out of protestantism. I would add to that: the bible had usury “laws.” That’s why only Jews lent money way back when. They (canada/US) only took these laws off the books in the 1970s, just before mortgage rates went up to 20% or more.
Just be sure to remember to buy your copy of the Trump Bible (printed in China) for the low low price of... etc. The man simply lacks even a shadow of a shred of irony.
99.99 % of the people who call themselves “capitalists” are not “capitalists” …
The 99.99 % are just workers in a Capitalistic system, as they do not have the requisite “capital” that would allow them to establish an industry in their own …

Well.....according to the 'new' Christianity...it is incumbent on the white right to ac unilaterally as much money as possible...just like that guy in Houston megachurch. More ominously, they hate Democrats & consider them evil and worthy of death. Just take a look at Flynn & his cult....white Christian nationalism is like the ones in The Purge; Election Day
We Love You, Sibling. We agree with all your words. Nazi Capitalism I write today. So yea. Great. So not looking forward to January 20, 2025. Anyone wanna meet at the Capitol Building on January 6, 2025? We hear it’s the perfect place and date to lazily smash through doorways in peaceful protest of a Rigged Election.

Yes you can, the everyday christians give to charties that need money, the wealthy give it to family members that want more money. But then again, mega wealthy are NOT REAL CHRISTIAN'S
They give their money to churches and think that absolves them. Meanwhile, those religious "charities" gleefully refuse to help anyone who doesn't fit their model of a "good person".
I only donate to secular charities, they're more likely to help people who need their help.
Wouldn't it be interesting if a bearded dude in robes from the West Bank started wandering around telling everyone to love one another and not worship money?

Wow, another stroke of genius from the eloquent Oliver!!! SPOT ON!

This actually brings tears to my eyes.
" You cannot worship God & Mammon ". " NA NA NA, we can't hear you, we can't see you..... ".
Love it love it love it!!! Fvck yeah 🙌🏽🤙🏽🙌🏽
Religion=hypocrisy
It's a simple equation.
It is not the religions that are the problem, in my view, it's the people who (don't) do what religion actually says we should do.

Religion poisons everything.

Definitely. Like Trump now. Using the White Christian Nationalists AND the Bible. .selling it even. The Trump.Bible
..he did that to solidify their votes. He bought them but they bought his garbage and lies.
Evil exists because of religion. People aren't inherently evil but religion is.
Can you go into this some more? Interesting thought, different from what I have always thought. But interested to learn more.
It's just a personal opinion born from years of experience with religious people.
It's incorrect but divulge yourselves until you chew it and spit it out.

He is entirely inhuman, he has no redeeming qualities whatsoever.
However, he does sport a nice Toupee! :-)
...it's fluffy, and goes with his orange face, don't you think?

We call them 'wage slaves' around here.

MAGA is as far from "Christian values" as it is possible to be.
Careful with that 'no true Scotsman' fallacy.
They are Christians, Christian Nationalists.

Ok, I am keeping up what my mom used to do, give to St Jude
The filthy rich may not be ALL THAT RICH, But they are VERY FILTHY.

... On second thought no, that wouldn't end well.
Yes. Excellent point. I have wondered about that, too.
