The absurdity is hiding in plain sight, but good Christians seem to forget that money is the root of all evil.

To be pedantic, it's the love of money that is the root of all evil.

For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

1 Timothy 6:10

I'm an atheist. I only read the bible cover to cover once, years ago, to figure out what all the hubbub was about, so I may be a bit rusty. I do seem to recall the bit about "love thy neighbour."

I like the Jesus guy. Almost everyone else sucks.

[–] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Agreed.

I read it a few times. Mostly to get time out of a cell.

And to argue with the ones who use it to hate others.

Jesus clearly instructed us to hate our fellow man.

[–] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Love thy neighbor as thyself.

If they hate themselves, I guess that holds.

[–] Powderhorn@beehaw.org 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

That is fucking brilliant. I'd not considered the self-loathing that makes hatred a valid option within the rules.

Like:

•Thou shall not covet thy neighbors wife.
All other wives, daughters, and twinks are fair game.

•Thou shall not kill.
The military and police can do that.

•Thou shall not steal.
I'm just taking what's rightfully mine.
Etc.

The commandments weren't exactly a legal document. Loopholes everywhere.
