What would Jeeebuss do??
(We already know what Jesus of Nazareth would do, but he's not a part of their belief structure).

That's what their jeeebus would do.

And that is 100% within the entire religion's belief structure. It's what they've built it on, the core they wrap every single part of it around.

Join us or get tortured forever.

At least his dad left his prey alone after whacking them. His son isn't content with that, and has to desecrate them afterwards, too.

And that's supposed to be an improvement?

Are those who burn crosses!

Rage Against The Machine, "Bulls on Parade"

Cross burners burn books,too.

Is the song about crosses and forces.

"Bulls on Parade" is the song about riding around with a shotgun.

And hide books in the bookstore?

I've seen this suggested (and apparently accomplished) by several here.

Is this still a thing?
