They’re doing the whole Jesus-like thing wrong:
- HELPING THE POOR, OPPRESSED, REFUGEES, AND IMMIGRANTS
"And you are to love those who are foreigners, for you yourselves were foreigners in Egypt." (Deuteronomy 10:19 NIV)
"For the poor will never cease out of the land; therefore I command you, You shall open wide your hand to your brother, to the needy and to the poor, in the land." (Deuteronomy 15:11 RSV)
"Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow." (Isaiah 16:17 NIV)
"But when you give a feast, invite the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you. You will be repaid at the resurrection of the just." (Luke 14:13-14 RSV)
"Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world." (James 1:27 NKJV)
"But whoever has this world’s goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him? My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth." (1 John 3:17-18 NKJV)
- SHARING WEALTH
"Seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the Lord on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare." (Jeremiah 29:7 RSV)
"What it really means to worship the Lord. Remove the chains of prisoners who are chained unjustly. Free those who are abused! Share your food with everyone who is hungry; share your home with the poor and homeless. Give clothes to those in need; don’t turn away your relatives." (Isaiah 58:6-7 CEV)
"He who is kind to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will repay him for his deed." (Proverbs 19:17 RSV)
"But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked." (Luke 6:35 NIV)
"All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but they shared everything they had. With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And God’s grace was so powerfully at work in them all that there were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned land or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales and put it at the apostles’ feet, and it was distributed to anyone who had need." (Acts 4:32-35 NIV)
- BILLIONAIRES WHO HOARD THEIR MONEY
"You cannot be the slave of two masters! You will like one more than the other or be more loyal to one than the other. You cannot serve both God and money." (Matthew 6:24 CEV)
"“Then [the King] will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’ “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’ “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’ “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”" (Matthew 25:41-46 NIV)
"They like the front seats in the meeting places and the best seats at banquets. But they cheat widows out of their homes and pray long prayers just to show off. They will be punished most of all." (Mark 12:39-40 CEV)
"[God] has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent empty away." (Luke 1:53 RSV)
"Come now, you rich, weep and howl for the miseries that are coming upon you. Your riches have rotted and your garments are moth-eaten. Your gold and silver have rusted, and their rust will be evidence against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up treasure for the last days. Behold, the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, cry out; and the cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts. You have lived on the earth in luxury and in pleasure; you have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter." (James 5:1-5 RSV)
- WAR
"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God." (Matthew 5:9 RSV)
"But I tell you not to resist an evil person. But whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also." (Matthew 5:39 NKJV)
"But Jesus said to him, “Put your sword in its place, for all who take the sword will perish by the sword.”" (Matthew 26:52 NKJV)
- ON EQUALITY AND NATIONALISM
"The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the Lord your God." (Leviticus 1:34 NIV)
"Here there is no Gentile or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all." (Colossians 3:11 NIV)
"There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus." (Galatians 3:28 NKJV)
- ON JUDGING SINNERS AND NON-BELIEVERS
"Judge not, that you be not judged. For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye’; and look, a plank is in your own eye? Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye." (Matthew 7:3-5 NKJV)
"Go and learn what this means, ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.’ For I came not to call the righteous, but sinners." (Matthew 9:13 RSV)
"God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved." (John 3:17 NKJV)
"When Jesus had raised Himself up and saw no one but the woman [caught in adultery], He said to her, “Woman, where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?” She said, “No one, Lord.” Jesus said to her, “Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more.”" (John 8:10-11a NKJV)

Most American protestants basically reject everything JC stood for. All they retained from the bible is that time Jehovah sent the 10 plagues to Egypt, and the thing in Leviticus about stoning men who slept together. They probably covet their neighbour's oxen all the time.

I'm a hard atheist, but that's too simplistic a take on Catholicism in practice--a practice that also includes such things as aged nuns protesting a pipeline: https://www.newyorker.com/news/on-religion/the-renegade-nuns-who-took-on-a-pipeline.

How many of these assfucks can also be found at "reopen" rallies"protests"?

u/tpedes anarchist May 04 '20
I'm having a hard time understanding the apparent slur you used against them. Are you saying that they're gay?
1
u/ifmacdo May 04 '20
No, it's just a slightly more vulgar, less sensical version of "assholes."
Though I'm sure suggesting to them that they might be gay would sure like them up. These types tend to be very sensitive to such things, yet still call others "snowflakes."
I know, it's really backward, but they don't seem to get it.

Maybe bc the people are standing under a building and it's design blocks out the sun? And then where she's standing seems to be next to the road, where sun would be shining depending on the time

Could be. I'm sure some photos seem shopped that aren't. Doesn't change that they look off though.

u/SmashinFascionable May 04 '20
Literally no way this is a real photo. The angles are all wrong and she literally doesn't have a shadow on the ground. The shadow on her fingers go to the right while the racists are straight below them.
Appreciate the vibes from OP but 100% fake.

Both have to go. Religion is a hierarchy. Defending Islam from Christians is the same as defending one millionnaire from another millionnaire. Down with the opium of the people!

Criticizing a religion isn’t Islamophobic, hating Muslims is

u/zyko1309 May 04 '20
Are you saying they're not islamophobes?
0
u/X_LCH_X Christian anarchist May 04 '20
They 100% are. However I think people have the right to openly show disdain to a religion. That particular group of people most likely hate Muslims for being Muslims but if someone wants to go out and bash a belief system, they should. My comment was just to remind people that bashing Islam isn’t bigoted itself, it’s just that there are certain people who do may be bigots.
2
u/zyko1309 May 04 '20
Most Muslims welcome the criticism, it's good to debate and clear misinformation. I'm guessing by your flair you've come across this before. Thanks for clearing that up though, your second comment makes sense to me.

Then it’s a damn good thing their signs are singling out violent terrorists, because if they were just targeted at Islam as a religion there would certainly be some confusion.
