The charming bit about "breaking the teeth of the ungodly" is from Psalm 58:6. All very Old Testament.

I don't think off the top of my head that the New Testament and specifically that Jesus ever did however. Christianity generally puts the New Testament and Jesus ahead though, so sometimes points from the Old Testament are considered *not* correct anymore in Christianity.

If they look around and put meaning into some words and not others, they can defend almost anything.

But this is already a broader scope. The original topic was Jesus and you talk about the bible. There's a lot more than Jesus in the bible. You could make a point if you find Jesus defending slavery in the bible though. Do you?

I'm not defending Christianity. I already said I'm an atheist. Clearly I can't get along with it. I'm merely pointing out the freaking stupid level of hypocrisy involved in pretending that this is all somehow "ok" according to their religion.

(As a side note, my favorite is all this is built on Evangelism, which is the thing that made the Jesus of the Bible so mad he had to flip over tables and hand make a whip to hit people with.)

But the fundamental point remains the same. Christianity teaches things such as helping the needy, not locking them up or killing them, feeding the poor, etc etc. In almost every meaningful way it really is the opposite.

Poor Petie. An alcohol ravaged brain, patsie-level comprehension and too many war comics up against 1500 years of "language as a weapon".

Jesus is literally the people that ICE kidnap while they're taking their kids to school. Jesus are the people shoved onto planes to hostile countries living in Hell on Earth torture conditions because they had a tattoo in honor of a cousin with a disability.

No matter what measure you use, MAGA are the embodiment of evil — followers of the antichrist — if you apply religious meaning to any of this.
