    jesus-cleanse Conservatives Christians really think this image of Jesus is about him going into the temple to throw out all the woke they/them liberals using the lord’s house to eat avocado toast and complain about climate change or some shit

      How conservative christians became the greatest opponent of environmentalism will likely forever remain a mystery for me. If there is one thing worth conserving it would be gods creation surely?

          A chunk of my extended family buys into this and it is part of why I don’t ever visit them anymore. A couple of them listen to radio stations that preach this 24/7. Grandma was really religious and was the kind of person to hire immigrants, underpay them, then complain about immigrants being moneyless sinners. That side of the family amazes me…

        Same way they can look at the metaphor for capitalists are destined for hell a la stuffing a camel through the eye of a needle unharmed - by choosing to interpret the eye of a needle to actually mean a gate arch or some shit.

        Instead of changing yourself to follow the beliefs in the word of your God, you change your God’s words to follow your beliefs.
