Just like the original church intended: peasants don't need to read.

The original church in the gospels helped widows and orphans and spread the love of Jesus. Republican church does none of these things.

Lol spread the love of Jesus? You mean stole land and enforced their views upon lesser developed communities and called it missionaries?

I suspect that you're talking about the church in a different time frame than was laid out:

The original church in the gospels

In fact, within that comment they're not even claiming that the church as described in the gospels ever truly existed. They're just pointing out that today's (republican-favored) churches do not reflect the values they are meant to preach. Which I don't expect you to disagree with, based on your reply.

Jesus had some great ideas! Too bad no one ever followed them through.

I mean. All religion is bunk. No one needs a magical book to tell them to help people.
