"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."

James 5:1-6

If these "christians" could read, they'll be really upset.

Simply put the old testament is the pick and choose portion of the bible. Only slightly more complex is their ability to ignore similar sentiment in the new testament.

Yeah, the sequel retconned a bunch, but is actually more "love your neighbor" and way less violent than the original.

But the it has that weird Paul tangent that's just a collection of letters from a former Christian-hunter that changed sides where he gets really judgy about other Christians and he starts telling them how to act.

Started the process that made the only female apostle a whore. Only recently has that bit of self serving propaganda been debunked.

Edit: Found this. It isn't the same article I read several years ago but it examines the text of the gospels and even paul couldn't deny she was the first to spot jesus when he came out of his coma. https://uscatholic.org/articles/201603/who-framed-mary-magdalene/
