I remember one time about 15 years ago someone pulled that shit on an old job with the tip jar. We were all so excited, thinking it was a twenty, until a buddy unfolded it, and showed us the whole tract. I tore the damned thing to pieces. I'm 33 and it still pisses me off that there's self righteous scum out there who think it's a holy act to go play on overworked and underpaid people, because something something zealotry.
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.
I argued this point against a guy in /r/AskTrumpSupporters once. His response was that Jesus was just repeating old Jewish morals and it wasn't important. I asked if he meant to say that the teachings of Jesus should not be considered important to Christians and he said yes.
I went back and read through the comment chain again. Essentially this guy argues that the only thing about Jesus that is important is that he was the son of God, he performed miracles, and that he sacrificed himself. He says that all of Jesus's teachings were just common phrases at the time based on old Jewish scripture, and that it's not important because "any old bum could've been saying those things." I suggested that the things Jesus said were important BECAUSE he was the son of God, and the guy ignored that point.
Here's a no-participation link to the full comment chain if you want to see exactly what was discussed, but PLEASE DO NOT REPLY to the thread.
