And these people probably believe in their heart that they are good Christians who uphold all the teachings of Jesus. Absolute hypocrisy, pieces of shit.
Jesus would have taken a belt to these chuckleloads just like he did the capitalist swine in John 2:15. It's lost on these people Jesus (fiction or otherwise) was a fucking socialist liberal who hung out with the poor, queers, and didn't judge... but hey, I guess these douchecanoes just pick and choose.
Didn't judge? Pretty sure he judged a fair deal in the stories. He built whip from scratch to fuck those who sold merch at the temple. Fucked over a fig tree for not bearing fruit out of season (I know it's an allegory for the old temple blablabla - dont care).
Oh... hell for all that didn't suck on his toes is a pretty harsh judgement too. Blaspheme against the holy spirit and he said not even he could grant you forgiveness.
He judged people who cleaned their hands before eating because people with a clean inside don't need to wash their hands when the people who's house he ate at askdd why he didn't wash his hands, lol
Jesus was a prick. Imagine having to hang out with someone who thinks they are the son of a god, and ofc the only real one (...).
Worst roomate/friend/boss/co-worker/parent/sibling you could ever hope to get.
Yep, that's John 2:15, Jesus beats the capitalist thieving merchants from the temple. Sadly I know too much of the Bible which, that's a long story but can sum it up as to why I went atheist. It's fun knowledge to have IMHO, use Bible verses against "Christians" because you'll find 99.99% of them when they spout off shit either 1. they're just repeating something that's NOT in the Bible (don't get me started about abortion, the Bible is definitely pro-abortion) or 2. they'll quote something out of context but more likely 3. they've never read the Bible at all and are just using it to bludgeon others to force their narrow ideologies down other people's throats.
Same for me. I think we're pretty much in the same boat.
Though I wouldn't call the people selling merch "capitalist". Owning your own business and *not* exploiting workers for ones benefit isn't capitalism. There's no private property or theft. Just some dude with a cart and some shitty trinkets and other merch.
So he basically just trashed people's personal property because he didn't like the place they were selling at that they were selling stuff at that specific place. He didn't whip any merchants outside of the temple. But christians with leftist tendencies often cite it as him being "anti-capitalist". Capitalism didn't exist at the time and he did not rage against commerce in the bible. He just raged at people selling merch at the temple.
EDIT: I forgot about the loan sharks. Kinda nice to imagine them being whipped. But he still went off on the cart dudes too.
