In the new testament, Jesus went and braided a whip out of leather -- a process which takes several hours, meaning this was cold rage and not hot impulse -- and proceeded to thrash the shit out of a bunch of people profiteering off of religion.
kind of like luigi prepared a 3d printed gun and suppressor, a process which takes several hours, and proceeded to trash the shit out of a profiteering asshole
-Book of Lemmy 1:9:24
And every so often you still get young men trying to cleanse the temple mount by force of arms. Talk about starting a trend.
I'm an atheist and basically always have been, but I grew up around some religious people and one thing I've never forgotten was some advice this one guy gave me (8 or 9) and his daughters (8 and 6):
Jesus once whooped the ass of every mother fucker in a church because they were breaking the rules. So if you ever need to ask yourself "What would Jesus do?" never forget that a righteous ass-beating is an option if the situation is severe enough
It's not that they were breaking the rules, it's that they were preying on vulnerable people.
If you want to talk about Jesus' relationship with rules, look at the people he chose to spend time with -- outcasts and social undesirables. Rulebreakers. Vulnerable people, people who didn't have the luxury of pondering where stealing bread lies morally when you're starving.
And look at his response to the question about which commandment was the most important: "If you thought it was about the rules, you missed the point".
He also flipped moneychangers tables. He basically sat while fuming, and braided a whip, and then showed the people the proper ending to a Monopoly game.
The proper ending to a Monopoly game is to switch the rules to "Prosperity" mode and play again.
That's The Landlord's Game. I was specifically referring to just Monopoly.
Same, dude.
It’s important to remember the actual teachings of Jesus in the Bible. These fuckers call themselves Christians but the fact is, most of them don’t know the first thing about what was written.
I’m not even sure he existed but I’ll be damned if I’m not going to spin that around. Especially once you get into the shit they left out of the Bible.
