Jesus - "He who is free of sin cast the first stone"
Republicans - "Is lying a sin?"
Jesus - "Yes!"
Republicans - "FAKE NEWS!!! JESUS IS A COMMUNIST TERRORIST!!!"
"Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming on you. Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes. Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days. Look! The wages you failed to pay the workers who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty. You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter. You have condemned and murdered the innocent one, who was not opposing you."

This is one of my favorite Jesus quotes, because it complements the idea that no one but god is free from sin. So no one can judge the sins of others but god and Jesus, but basically all the actual Christians that love it are ignorant on their own religion and think they are free from sin unlike those dang gays and such.
Idk if they think they're free from sins or that they're forgiven for their sins just because they claim to follow a religion. Either way, they suck.
“He was a hero because he was crucified. I like people who weren't crucified.”
I mean, the conservative law makers did execute Jesus...
the idea conservatives killed jesus - it's a fun take.
Edit: Not saying its a wrong take, lol, just never thought about it that way
The literal definition of conservatives fits the Pharisees to a T.
You understand they killed him because they were conservatives and didn't want his "new progressive" ideas from spreading further to the people, correct?
You're not even trying here. Or you're really, really clueless as to what conservatism is in politics throughout history.
TL;DR; Jesus was a progressive. The people who killed him were conservatives. If Jesus were alive today he'd 100% be a progressive/liberal. His ideas fit neatly within the progressive and liberal ideals, even 2,000 years later. And just like 2,000 years ago, conservatives today would claim he's the anti-christ and try and murder him to kill his "progressive" ideas.
We don't even have to create hypotheticals. We see this with people who actually represent Jesus Christ's teachings from the book (love everyone equally, don't judge, don't horde money, render unto ceasar, help the poor, give up your money to help, don't build giant churches and temples, don't be racist, don't do war, don't do genocide, etc. etc.), get attacked and death threats from modern day conservatives. Just like the conservatives from B.C.
Nothing has changed. Because that's what being a conservative means.
You understand that right? It's literally right there in the name.
So you think progressives killed Jesus?
Are you trying to make a serious argument that the Pharisees were progressives?
I'm not sure how else you'd describe the strict orthodox religious sect that ratted him out or the oligarch governor of a continent spanning empire overseeing a conquered province who rubber stamped a state-managed torture and execution.
If Jesus were alive today, he'd be living in Guantanamo Bay.
I'm pretty sure he'd be in a government lab
They’ve replaced “thou shall not bear false witness against thy neighbor” with “the ends shall justify thy means”
