Yeah, I don't think "people of faith", at least the more conservative ones, are going to be taking that lesson very seriously... Good luck changing their mindset.
🤷♂️
Evangelicals are not, but there are progressives within the ranks of christianity. The actual message of the new testament is down right socialist.
Jesus died a pacifistic anarchist at the very least
Pacifist yes — definitely not an anarchist. He instructed his followers to obey all laws in all situations that didn’t conflict with loving God and loving other people. However, he despised “tradition” and flaunted it constantly.
Anarchists aren’t against following laws, they’re against unjust hierarchies
Did I misread the part when he kicks the shit out of the money changers?
Yup. He overturned their tables and yelled at them to get out of the temple.
Of course, that would be classified as terrorism today….
In the John version of the story, he "drives" them out of the temple with a whip. It's difficult to reconcile that with a total pacifism.
Pacifism isn’t the same as being a doormat. It doesn’t say he attacked anyone, just chased them out with a whip.
He is also reported to call his disciples to strap on their swords at one point though, and at least Peter took him literally. So he obviously wasn’t a “pacifism at all costs” kind of person.
A whip he made himself while contemplating his righteous anger. Best story in the book.
Jesus said he did not come to abolish the old law but to fulfill it. Old law including killing gay people, slavery, and god-approved genocide.
What do you think the word "communist" meant before Marx?
The Vatican style of faith is very different from whatever has been festering in conservative America.
the only higher power conservatives believe in, even the religious ones, is fox news
close but not quite, trump is the higher power. when fox didnt 100% back january 6th and trumps mission to steal the election, many of them called to boycott fox news. If they have to choose between fox and trump they will choose trump. In reality this probably wont happen again cuz fox learned their lesson.
I have no problem with the catholic church standing on the right side of history. those kinds of American Christians already think they're superior to the pope, so what is the difference?
