Just indulge them for a moment.

American Christians- Protesting in a church is wrong!

Literally Jesus Christ Himself-

That's my favorite Bible story because it humanizes Jesus so much to just once flip out and whoop some ass. He wasn't divinely chill all the time; he usually restrained himself.

If people were using my dad's house to scam people, I'd be pissed and kick them out too.

favorite Bible story

I like the one where the druid Elisha summoned bears to murder children because they mocked his bald head.

That is what I want to see, when people say that we need more "religious education".

You're assuming that they know the first damn thing about their strongly held lifelong beliefs about the nature of reality.

I wonder what Jesus thought about this issue.

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 41 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

He was known to be a super chill dude in temples.

And Jesus said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of ~~thieves~~ job creators.

[–] Zombie@feddit.uk 5 points 8 hours ago

And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a ~~rich man~~ job creator to enter into the kingdom of God.

"Don't bring a gun to a protest!"

[–] BeautifulMind@lemmy.world 8 points 8 hours ago

LOL are these the same people that have turned their churches into campaign organs for their party?

[–] AccoSpoot1@lemmy.world 15 points 9 hours ago

Shoulda said it.

[–] zloubida@sh.itjust.works 11 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

I agree with the sentiment, but the word “protestieren” signified “to attest” and not “to protest” (but as a Protestant myself, I do believe that protests have a place within Church, go my American sisters and brothers!).

[–] 51dusty@lemmy.world 17 points 9 hours ago

both protest and protestant come from the same root word. and, I would agree that they do "mean" the same thing.... to declare publicly or testify.

the -ant ending just makes it "person who declares publicly"

It took every ounce of compliance to be a little bitch and complain on socials for feel-good points about an argument that didn't happen because I stand for nothing
