It would be nice if we could see a day where people drop the entire Bible from their list of reasons why people should or shouldn't do things.
You know, instead of just the parts that aren't convenient to them like they do now.

I especially love how they cherry-pick from the Old Testament. How much bacon do you think Greg Kelly eats in an average year?
And then there's their hero Trump. How many of the "big ten" has he violated at this point?
The whole "I hate you because you don't follow the Bible!" schtick goes directly against what Jesus taught. It's like the whole identity of the "religious right".
The fun thing is they claim Matthew 5:17-18 says that Jesus claims you don't have to follow Jewish law when it says the exact opposite:
Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
He comes to fulfill, but he hasn't actually done it yet. And the Bible never says he does, so the presumption is it happens when he returns.
wasn't pauls letter to the hebrews in direct contradiction with your interpretation?
Wow, Paul contradicted Jesus?! Holy fuck! That never happens in anything else Paul ever wrote!
it's not clear he contradicted jesus, only cranakis' interpretation of jesus
It's not my interpretation. Even Martin Luther didn't believe Paul wrote Hebrews.
i was referring to your interpretation of what jesus said.
I didn't talk about what Jesus said.
Hebrews was almost certainly not written by Paul. However it's purpose does indeed seem to be to assure the early Jewish converts to Christianity that they could more selectively follow the laws of the OT/Torah. The author accomplishes this by using 3 verses from Genesis to "prove" that anytime Jesus's teachings contradict Moses, Jesus wins.
Edit: It's an incredibly shaky argument. Genesis 14:17-20 . Look that verse up and then try to make it make sense.

The master list!! Well-compiled!!!
Thanks! Been collecting for years. Feel free to add if you got something.
Got soo sick of seeing meal team 6 - look at all the options out there!!!
Y'allQaeda is my personal favorite.
I kind of wish images like this could be plastered around grocery stores, in shopping carts or something. Some neutral place where literally everyone goes.
Anyone ever read Every Man Dies Alone by Hans Fallada? It's inspired by resistance efforts to the war in Nazi Germany; one small way of pushing back was writing postcards critical of Hitler.
I would have no problem with people doing guerrilla marketing with this kind of thing. I think sticking them over those shopping cart ads is a great idea. And it certainly wouldn’t be illegal to leave them in your shopping cart face up when you return it.
What is really like to see though is a crowdfunded grassroots campaign to put these on billboards. Maybe not this one per se - billboard design is its own thing - but basically just getting the agitprop out there where it can do some good.
That, and ai gen / bot farm these things and post them to twitter and facebook.
Why can't they be?
Well, I honestly don't know if they can. Considering it's private property, cameras everywhere, and could be considered littering.
Where there's a will, there's a way.
The resurgence of newsmax in the last few years has been equal parts disheartening and panic-inducing. Seeing it on Lemmy every week or so feels similar to metastasis.
There’s this sweet little old lady who comes in my store and buys a powerball once a week. I’ve known her for years. She always says, “if I hit, you won’t have to work anymore. I probably won’t, but if I win you win.”
All these years and she’s never talked to me about anything but powerball dreams.
Last week she came in and said, “I seen on newsmax where illegals are coming across the border without a worry in the world. They’re just taking care of them with our money.”
She went on this ku klutz klan krant and I couldn’t believe it. It broke my heart.
I don’t watch tv so newsmax wasn’t something I heard of before she said that. I looked it up. Damn. What a mess.
Only morons take GOP seriously
I wouldn't say to be part of the GOP you would have to be stupid. It helps but the real problem is you have some sort of moral deficiency. I'm not perfect, trust me. I just haven't sunk as low as joining the GOP.
I haven't read it since I was a teenager, so it's been a while, but I'm pretty sure that Taylor Swift isn't mentioned even once in the Bible.
Please, I beg of you. Don’t give Swifties ideas.
The Old Testament (Taylor's Version) :
"... and Moses said unto them, 'look what you made me do'."
The golden calf
Really more of an orange calf
That's not real is it?!
Sadly, it is. They even held a prayer it was fucking weird.
My man Moses, the Big M, would be a tad bit upser
MAGA: Why would big macs be upset with us?
Makes me sick thinking about all those people who know he is a garbage person, vanity incarnate, and they still support him. They have no true morals, only selectively applied rules.
Self awareness can’t even get off the ground.
