      Pretty sure this would fall under the several parables in Christianity where Jesus or God basically tells people that exacting judgement for biblical sin is the domain and privilege of God alone and that it’s not the job of people to act on it.

      But if Christians didn’t get pushback for being terrible to people they wouldn’t feel persecuted and they all want to suffer somehow to feel like they are Christ-like themselves. The Bible is very much written from the perspective of having it’s work cut out to be radical upheaval of the status quo. I don’t think there was much thought that they would basically recreate the structures they were fighting against by becoming economically as powerful as nobility. When you really start digging everything from the expectation of extreme celebacy to the idea that giving money to the church is a virtue that should be rewarded with respect and prestige in the church isn’t Jesus… It’s Paul. The notoriously power hungry guy who who fell off a horse, hit his head on a rock and hallucinated Jesus.

      It doesn’t matter what Christianity says. These piles of sub-human filth are just trying to keep America at its own throat so we focus on human rights issues instead of paying attention to the bills they actually care about.

      This shit is all smoke and mirrors and at this point I don’t think they’re going to get the idea until the rest of us start acting real French
