I was driving through, I think Utah, a while back and I remember seeing a billboard ad for a local bank. They were heavily leaning into religious marketing (or maybe they were a “Christian Bank”) and I remember thinking “Y’all im pretty sure Jesus had major issues with using the lord’s name for business” lmao
Well that’s after the book was mistranslated through version after version.
Utah has an accurate translation that their prophet found by looking into his hat.
Q: WWJD?
A: (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
I honestly do try to live by WWJD. Its a pretty legit way of thinking.
But the problem is, trying to give a chance to everybody tends to earn a lot of “tsk tsk” from many Christians around here.
When they ban an anything to the left of “maybe we shouldn’t hunt the poors for sport?” As “bot activity”
Oh, I meant IRL.
The worst was when I got treated like I was stupid for not just assuming that someone with atypical facial features had some kind of mental disability.
I mean, it was apparent that they did once I began talking to them, but like Hell am I just going to assume that based on someone’s looks.I haven’t interacted with Christians around here.
A Modest Proposal?
The issue today is Jesus was washed away in mainstream media as a rebel against Rome. They didn’t want to sell that part of the story because, well, the Lord whipped and cursed them and they’re still doing it.
Other random stuff that fits in with WWJD:
- Tilting at a tree for not having edible fruit
- (presumably anyway) building tables and stuff
- telling all your mates to pretend they are eating you
Not having edible fruit out of season
My problem with that story is that’s the one time Jesus chose violence, vs the bajillion times he said to love your neighbor and turn the other cheek. But I’ve seen tons of posts by right wingers like “we should kill people we disagree with! Jesus was all about violence, did you hear about the time with the whip!?!?” using it as justification for their hate and totally ignoring all of Jesus’s messages.
Jesus was about violence when people used the temple to turn a profit, similar to what 45 is doing by shilling his book.
What would dale do?
What would Joseph do
