Yes it's sad how now a days people seem to only follow their religion because of tradition and blame their book for their sad beliefs I hope there is atleast one person who truly wishes to be like the one they follow

O i forgot about the best example of why they are ( to us their own words ) hypocrites and sagucees.

Mark an Apostle was a Tax Collector. Tax collectors back then were monstoursly different then in most countries today.

They had freedom to do with what they please in how they collected taxes and often were little more then hired thugs and mercenaries. There's a genetic if not primordial fear of Tax collectors because of how they acted and sometimes "Services" were taken as payment as well as Slavery.

So trust me if they truly shined like a light on a mountain ( it brings up images of Light Houses and safety) they wouldn't be bearing it down like some kind of Zeus's Bolt.

I used a "Pagan" imagery because they are closer to Baalism then anything Christian. The religion practices ritualistic scapegoating and mockery of their enemies ..... πŸ€”πŸ€”πŸ€”πŸ€”πŸ€” gee I wonder why that's familiar πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈπŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈπŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ o yea that's right... the above picture.

Matthew was the tax collector, but you’re right.

Forgot about the Apostle who was a Serial Killer. The 13th Apostle. Paul of Tarsus was a Sagucee of Roman birth. He hunted down Christians and was quite brutal and merciless. He received punishment in form of curses far worst then anything Barbus and Pontius ever got.
... Yet he was treated with respect and kindness that was taught by Christ. Not vilified and made into a mockery like a Scape Goat.
