Guns And Jesus: How The Christian Right Hijacked The Bible To Suit Their Lifestyles

[SecularMotion]

Mark Twain’s advice on arguing with stupid people is wisdom for the ages. He knew the stupid “will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.”

Arguing with folks about politics and religion really brings out the stupid in people. I suppose that’s why we were taught not to do so. But I can’t help it, I can only suffer so much bullshit before my brain says, wait a minute, that’s just wrong.

If prevention of mass shootings becomes a topic with hardcore supporters of unfettered gun availability for everyone, and you take the position that the Second Amendment does allow for regulation, you must be stupid, uninformed, a threat to liberty, an enemy of God, or maybe just one of those bed-wetting liberal pussies who sit around eating granola and singing Give Peace A Chance. Probably on welfare and food stamps too.

I recently failed to follow Twain’s sage advice.

4. Excellent

Is it the real Christoph Waltz playing Jesus or is it a look alike?

Can't wait to see him as the bad Bond villain in 'Spectre'.

3. Beat ye therefore thy ploughshares into Bushmasters

5. Until the religious left abandons the meme that somehow Republicans have "hijacked" the religion...

nothing will change. The right thinks the left hijacked it too. That's because the bible has a bunch of peaceful, loving stuff AND it has a terrible amount of judgmental, vengeful stuff. Nobody's hijacking anything. You pick the parts you like and ignore the rest.

6. Onward christian soldiers.

The warrior jesus has been part of the cult since the Milvian Bridge. 312.
