Proselytize Religion
From Reddit
As a community with an interest in providing the best resources to its members, the following wiki links are provided as historical reference until we can establish our own.
Sometimes he was. (Matthew 5:9)
Other times he was "if you don't have a sword, sell your clothes to buy a sword" (Luke 22:36-38)
.
That's the "great" thing about the Bible, its got enough cobtradictions that you can make it support pretty much anything you want it to.
Yep. That’s how I convinced a doctor to graft a leg into the middle of my back, so I can use it like a kickstand when I get tired.
Doc said no at first. When I told him Jesus said it was cool on page 148, he got me the best leg they had on hand!
Gotta trust in Jesus kids, you just gotta!
The issue is that they don't care. They don't care if the Bible says anything at all about the subject their on about or even if it contradicts them. What the Bible actually says is irrelevant to them, it's only what their ~~glorious leaders~~ pastors say it says matters.
The root of faith is authoritarianism, not any branch of morality or reverence or regard for history or their mythology.
I blame cowboys. More specifically, the old western movies. The good guys were just living their lives however they wanted without any gub'ment telling them what to do, and when bad guys showed up, you just blasted them.
I'm pretty sure, in reality, it was a pretty terrible time to be alive, but the movies make it sound like a libertarian utopia.
They’ve twisted parts of the Bible involving Jesus and swords to mean that they should be violent and hateful.
Not only that, he was basically a socialist.
You missed the verse that says AR-15s are a God-given right.
It wasn't Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden - it was Smith and Wesson.
He also told his possy to go buy a sword before they headed out.
Thats just a good friend.
