re: #198 dog philosopher ஐஒஔ௸

many “christians” want jesus to just stay on the cross and keep his mouth shut instead of hanging out with the poor and undesirable and spouting all that hippie shit about loving your enemies and stuff

They only have a use for Jesus as a martyr, because you can excuse all sorts of evil and immoral shit in the name of a martyr. And the whole “love and peace” business is seen as a way to get converts into the pews. But they really don’t care much for his actual teachings because it’s hard to justify Crusades and pogroms while preaching “Love thy neighbor.”
