So they can spread Jesus's message of love and peace.... or else!

As always, the Bible lets them think two things at once.

King David had a good man killed so David could grab his wife.

Noah was a drunk.

Lot was a drunk who slept with his daughters.

God uses bad men to give his divine message.

Like the Bible says, the anti Christ is Godly.

But it still doesn't make sense. If they want this to happen and believe he will usher in their revelations, then they also understand they will be damned and will never get into heaven.

Jesus would be hated by all of them, forgiving people, helping people who are different than you, giving up all wealth to those in need... The biblical descriptions of him are very much socialistic, not greed. For how long did Christianity not allow interest on loans.. making it so Jewish people were the ones who had to open the banks.

Jesus didn't change his mind, money mattered more to people, so they just changed it and said it was fine.

Jesus was a black and/or brown Jew. They'd probably try to crucify him again.

Self-serving bigoted religious teachings will still offer value to self-serving bigots, and they still exist.

Research has shown an increase in spiritual beliefs in millennials (my generation), so I don't think that the wider idea of religion will die. But I hope very few will miss churches that teach hate.

And they would side with Trump then call Jesus an illegal immigrant and fake news.

Or is face would melt off like the Nazis at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark.

And don't forget the grand irony of Zionism. The people currently being genocided out of Palestine actually have a much closer genetic relationship to the actual Biblical Hebrews that the people genociding them. The people who formed modern Zionism were mostly the descendants of people who converted to Judaism during its more evangelical phases. The historical events like Rome conquering Judea didn't actually expel the vast majority of the population, mainly just some of its leaders and intellectuals. Most of the historical Hebrews remained in Palestine, and they mostly converted to Islam over the centuries. Zionism can largely be approximated as the destruction and displacement of the actual descendants of historical Israel by people who later converted to Judaism. The Palestinians have a much, much closer genetic relationship to the people that Jesus would have been interacting with regularly than the average IDF soldier does today.

They absolutely don't follow the teachings of Bible Jesus. None of them believe in true charity and tolerance which was all I learned from being raised on the stuff.

I think they have to do it there because Matthew 6:5 says to:

And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward.

Hey, wait a minute...

I wonder how many actually attend with those million something marches.

With a Matthew 6:5 combo:

And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward.

What, Jesus wasn't a rich, boasting, powerhungry pussy grabber??!
