the proper perspective of the believer is to paint sins as "self-harm" rather than something to rule over your neighbor with

so its possible to care about someone without accepting the things they do. It doesnt mean you hate them

but many people in society (regardless of location) associate the things they believe with who they are not realizing you were born without knowledge and wisdom (or belief in anything other than your mother). If God believed people needed knowledge and wisdom at birth, they would have those things

No wonder!!! I was just thinking about how much this country lacks empathy. It explains why we are in this mess. Then I was thinking about how is it these so-called Christians can justify that and of course it's their preachers.

That's the nature of weak men who think they have the moral high ground because of God. Rather than humbling themselves in front of the almighty they become MORE arrogant. If you do believe in God how can you come to another conclusion than your fellow man being as small as your are when compared to the one who created it all?

They probably dont even believe in God. They just use religion as any other tool.

Get it straight. White christIan nationalists lack the empathy gene. Black Christians (U.S.) don’t.

:mjlol: i've seen this recently. a bunch of angry MAGAs who think jesus was a p*ssy for turning the other cheek
What things did he turn the other cheek for though? To my knowledge, God does believe in punishing people who do foul shyt, Jesus as a messenger was basically telling people to let minor things slide but I don't believe that Jesus wouldn't feel like a serial killer should be punished.

Use yourself as an example, you say a whole lot of bullshyt that's borderline disrespectful to people with common sense or people from the environment I grew up in. Saying those things in my presence would get you knocked out mid quote, like literally right in the middle of your statement I would rock yo shyt after sizing up your whole jaw and literally hitting you on the button, the lights out button.

I think Jesus would understand my justification for rocking yo shyt. However, if I upped pistol and blew a piece of your brains towards walls and floors and carpet for the same minor infraction, I think Jesus would want me punished.

You feel me?
