Because Jesus would be a MAGA conservative? I'd like you to find me examples in the gospels, where Jesus said what these evangelicals would say. I'll start you off: Jesus hugged lepers when no one else would even allow them in town. The gospels say all things were made by him, and that includes both liberals and conservatives. That even includes people going to get abortions, whom those wingnuts were protesting. I could go on. But I'm ready to hear about your Republican Jesus.

Here's a good example of that: "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside, but on the inside are full of dead men’s bones and every kind of impurity. / In the same way, on the outside you appear to be righteous, but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness." (Matthew 23:27-28.) In case you don't know, the Pharisees were the most religiously minded people, in that they followed every single scrap of Scribal Law (which was an in depth, enumerated explanation of every law/rule even hinted at in the Torah, or Old Testament). More than that, they were were judge, jury, and executioner for heretics--which was how they were in position to see to it that Jesus was crucified.

@jaex9617 Jesus even said, "Put away the sword. For he who lives by the sword, dies by the sword." I don't see any pro-assault rifle folks quoting that one.

This is a weird conversation.

Anti-anti-intellectual5 "Cheesus also said "For I have not come to bring peace, for I carry a sword and shall bring separation upon thee...etcetera etcetera." Even Cheesus contradicts himself. The buybile is hawgwash." It actually said: "Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword." (Matthew 10:34.) If you're going to cherry pick, at least get the quote right. First, you're probably trolling, so I shouldn't even bother. But, I'll try one time, and see how you respond. There was a whole series of things Jesus said he came for. He had a lot of these series, which he re-visited from time to time, elaborating on them. (Another had to do with "light.") Another part of this series was: "For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me." (John 6:38.) And one more: “For judgment I have come into this world, so that the blind will see and those who see will become blind.” (John 9:39.) Now, it's called "cherry picking" because anyone can claim the Bible says anything. It really takes a great deal of reading, studying the ancient history of the Jews, learning what the original Greek words in the New Testament meant, and, of course, reading the entire Bible, to make sense of it. You also have to know when to take it literally, and when to see that it's being ironic. See, the ancient Jews loved irony in their stories. So what did Jesus mean there? Do you really think it means he came to bring war? Because that interpretation contradicts the rest of the gospels. So it isn't Jesus who contradicts himself, but your own interpretation that just doesn't work. We can talk more if you want. Let's see how you respond to an intellectual discussion.

Anti-anti-intellectual5 Memorizing? So you read it? The whole Bible? How many times? Did you learn Greek and Hebrew, so you could read what the words are actually saying, instead of depending on the English translations? Or maybe just go to a website that has all the original Greek and Hebrew? Did you read any commentary? How much? How about study Bibles, that start you on the journey of reading all about the history of the ancient Jews--so you know what they're talking about when those people break through the roof, while Jesus is talking? Are you so sure that there's nothing there? How can you be? I've done all those things and more. And there is something there. How can you make fun of the stupidity of people who cherry pick, when you do it too? How can you make fun of their ignorance, when you are entirely ignorant? "The following verses talk about setting father against son...." What verses? You gave no examples. Do you really believe that it's being literal there?

Anti-anti-intellectual5 You troll Christians for believing something that you believe is stupid. But, instead of looking for what Christianity might actually be, beyond Christian beliefs, which you know are wrong, you just don't look any further. Instead, you believe that what others believe is all there is to it. You should add one more "anti-" onto your username, or delete one. You're not an intellectual. You believe in the god that is your own arrogant ignorance. Ah well. Enjoy your trolling.

@scapegoatiscariot2767 Jesus did not call a non-Jewish woman a dog. Book, chapter, verse, please. In fact, I'd like to see book, chapter, and verse for all that garbage you wrote.

@scapegoatiscariot2767 "He would be about his father's Kingdom and not about issues of this life." While I'm waiting for you to give book chapter, and verse, I'll disprove a couple of these--because it's easy to do so. "I have spoken to you of earthly things and you do not believe; how then will you believe if I speak of heavenly things?" (John 3:12.) So, yes, he did talk about earthly things. Actually, that was all he talked about. Heaven wasn't in the sky, for example. He said: "...the kingdom of God is within you." (Luke 17:21.) And "God is not the God of the dead, but of the living." (Mark 12:27.) And there is no heaven to go to. "And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven." (John 3:13.) His new commandment, his addition to Judaism was this: “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another." (John 13:34.) Does that sound like someone who wouldn't "about issues of this life"? Heaven is the issues of this life. Because heaven is right here and now.

@scapegoatiscariot2767 "Matthew 15: 25-26 25 The woman came and knelt before him. “Lord, help me!” she said. 26 He replied, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.” If you want any more versus, look them up." You've been reading the Bible for 23 years, and that's your example? Dude, that's cherry picking. Plain and simple. No wonder you don't want to provide more verses. Here's what's happening: You made up your mind, then sought individual verses that support your axiom. You aren't the first to do this, or the last. One more thing, your name: Judas wasn't the spacegoat, Jesus was. Jesus was also the sacrificial lamb for Passover. Now, was he really, literally, actually those things? Of course not. IT'S A STORY. Mythology. You're misquoting it only to satisfy your own point of view. Why not just own your point of view, as your own? Anyway, believe what you want, since you're evidently going to do that regardless.

Christianity was undoubtedly used for hate. To be more precise, it was a tool to conquer people without bloodshed. I have to think that's why Rome became Christian. But just because it has been used for hate, doesn't mean that's what it is, i.e., what it equals.
