I feel like there's a single word to sum up one who's teachings are directly opposed to those of Jesus πŸ€”

Hearing voices from people that aren't real is a pretty serious mental condition. I'm convinced religion and all the evil committed on its behalf all just trace back to the root of shit mental healthcare.

Perhaps partly, my personal belief is the is traces back to early tribal days. I believe the first cultural leaders likely struggled with retaining control and authority at a certain point. After all, there is only so much you can threaten people with to keep them in like. The worse of which is death. A sufficiently motivated person may not care about their physical well-being if they want to achieve a important enough goal. Create an invisible "soul" and a space wizard that determines if that soul gets bliss or torture after death and it adds a new level of control.

The problem is, from what I've heard, the black plauge killed all the good priests. Since they were the ones to go and read a person's last will and testament, they would also end up catching the plauge a lot of the time. So eventually all the smart and respectable priests died, leaving them desperate for anyone. So from then the churches have been lead by undesirable

That sounds like blaming nature for human maliciousness.

Evangelicals Are Now Rejecting 'Liberal' Teachings of Jesus

"Multiple pastors tell me, essentially, the same story about quoting the Sermon on the Mount, parenthetically, in their preaching'turn the other cheek'[and] to have someone come up after to say, 'Where did you get those liberal talking points?'" Moore said.

"When the pastor would say, 'I'm literally quoting Jesus Christ' ... The response would be, 'Yes, but that doesn't work anymore. That's weak," he added. "When we get to the point where the teachings of Jesus himself are seen as subversive to us, then we're in a crisis."

And people dont understand why I say the orange clown is an Antichrist and may be the Antichrist.

The doomed by a perfect circle is very disturbing accurate.

I reckon it has a lot to do with personality traits of evil people

I guess we're going to get more denominational splits based on if Jesus' teachings about loving others is Biblically accurate. Yet another reason why he isn't coming back.

The real reason.

Remind me which level of Hell the hypocrites are in? Is it higher or lower than the one reserved for Jesus now?

[–] Cheems@lemmy.world 23 points 1 month ago (8 children)

I mean I've seen some random Instagram stuff where Republicans think that Jesus would not allow immigrants into this country. It truly is another level of delusion at this point

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Don't forget that Instagram is owned by Meta. They've admitted to making people up to get more engagement and rage bait.

So then... We don't need to apply empathy to whoever that guy is.

The only difference between a religion and a cult is time

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Number of followers helps too.

I have as much authority as the Pope. I just don’t have as many people who believe it.

I've heard the distinction described as "it's a cult when the founder is still around making stuff up, it becomes a religion after he dies and his followers are left to continue doing that in his name."

"I hate you guys, kill yourself" said Jesus probably during daylight saving time because he didn't sleep enough.

I hear he also dropped the n word a couple times on Twitter but he was taking Ambien so it wasn't his fault.

Fair enough, that's enough to make me give up on humanity.

Apparently started from a hate ministry in 2021... Dude named James White on Twitter.

"When you start with man as image-bearing creature of God, you can understand why sympathy is good, but empathy is sinful.

Do not surrender our mind to the sinful emotional responses of others."
