is it really that much of a surprise that the most conservative and conservative christian states really love imposing the harshest old testament level punishments on as many people as possible?
forgiveness and rehabilitation? that sounds like something christ would do. fuck that, string him up on the old maple tree in the park so we can make an example out of him.
notice the same states proudly claiming to be pro life lead the nation in infant mortality, post birth mortality, and death sentences. it only shows that "pro life" only emphasizes the developing life, not any of it fully developed.
The death penalty is anti-christian imo. Man's judgement is fallible and we are all made in the image of God.
And the masses that use religion to abuse others don't give a shit.
Jesus would also be a raging socialist.
Anyone can misuse anything to harm someone
Jesus was more or less apolitical in the gospel (e.g. "render unto caesar what is caesar's" )
He clearly states that to whom much is given much will be required though ergo almsgiving is a critical part of the faith.
He may have been apolitical for his time (you'd have to ask him personally to know), but many teachings align with socialism. It just relies on the individual to do it themselves instead of being state enforced. "you do you but also heaven won't accept you if you don't share wealth". Final judgement would stand in for corporeal laws in this case. When people don't subscribe to that and it actively lets people suffer, teachings might not be enough.
Pretty much this. Christ's teachings focus on prayer, fasting and almsgiving at a personal and corporate (church) level regardless of which government is in power.
Shows how important branding is.
