    Jesus will come to bring a sword, which he will then beat into a plowshare and send bears to maul you to death.

    Jesus~ “I’m going to come back and murder everybody on Earth who doesn’t kneel to Me. The blood will be as high as a horse’s bridle! I will kill every last one of you.”

    Christians~ “Jesus is peace and love!”

    It’s all so ridiculous

    Christians will drill you full of New Testament at school and then get indignant when you expect them to abide by it.

      Remind them that they don’t follow the New Testament, either. Allowing women to speak in church and teach, my word what a new age secular absurdity! I have the vapors

      As depicted in the post, that’s because they want you to follow a different, contradictory, part of it.

    “to each as any [have] need” sounds oddly familiar to anyone on the left. It would honestly make a great tattoo for a religious socialist

      “But the women and the little ones, and the cattle and all that is in the city, even all the spoil thereof, shalt thou take unto thyself; and thou shalt eat the spoil of thine enemies which the Lord thy God hath given thee.” ~Deuteronomy 20:14

      As demonstrated in the Bible with regularity, it all depends on what you want to justify.

      If the Magic Bird whispers in your heart “kill them all and take their stuff”, who are you to argue? Sometimes you’re Samaritan, sometimes you’re a Philistine.

      Just like GOD, you were made in His image after all. Nothing is more God-like than hypocrisy! Yes, He also disparages hypocrites, while He’s hypocritical throughout. That’s the joke. The Bible is the ultimate expression of absurdity, and they will kill you over it.
