Imagine believing in a guy who allegedly told as many people as he could to spread tolerance and acceptance for literally everyone, then going and preaching the exact opposite while saying they're doing it because he said so. Incredible.

No, you missed the part where he said, "except for them." /s

It's right there in Matthew 15:

22 A Canaanite woman from that vicinity came to him, crying out, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is demon-possessed and suffering terribly.” 23 Jesus did not answer a word. So his disciples came to him and urged him, “Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us.” 24 He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.”

People act as though Jesus was a paragon of virtue, but even according to the Bible, he could be a right bastard sometimes.

I mean it was literally like that, but fuck him. He was proba in the closet

I think you're conflating Jesus Christ with Supply Side Jesus.

who allegedly told as many people as he could to spread tolerance and acceptance for literally everyone,

What passage is that?

[-] oatscoop@midwest.social 5 points 1 year ago

The big one is Matthew 22:36-40

36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” 37 And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is the great and first commandment. 39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 40 On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.”

There's several more, but most Christians don't actually read their book

I am not seeing tolerance and acceptence there. Also, especially in Matthew, your neighbor was your ethnic group not humanity.

Would have been kinda cool if Jesus had bothered to cite his sources. He is just quoting Rabbi Hillel here.
