Yeah, Jesus, the historical figure was trying to reshape Judaism. He wanted to reform things and he wanted the focus to be on loving your brother. He got killed for it and he knew it would kill him because he was hanging out with the religious leaders.

Then by a miracle he succeeded because he didnt have any transgressions against the temple and he followed Jewish teachings but was still setup to be crucified in the worst way imaginable.

Then after that he was co-op'd for other purposes but his message is still true. Believing in christ is believing a man named Jesus lived and he was killed by no fault of his own but for the benefit of others.

Being a Christian means you understand Christ's message. Its real easy, love your brother, and you live in a way that reflects that.

And for God's sake stop hating queer people. It's absolutely against everything Christ teaches and is a made up bit of nonsense.

Christ today would hang out at pride festivals and preform gender affirming miracles.

Here is a beautiful poem about that:

THAT'S what Jesus is, not some holy slobbering uneducated filth yelling about groomers.

Another beautiful poem about it, more specifically against everything that ~~religious Karens~~ conservatives stand for:

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.

If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.

1 Corinthians 13

Looking at the hate and anger that they spew... how can anyone remain convinced that they are about "Christianity" aka love?

Love that passage.

What is this from?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It's by the poet Jay Hulme.
