Moreover, I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; and I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.
The Bible says the exact opposite, saying you shouldn’t be a hard person, but God will turn you into a soft one. Religious people are so stupid sometimes.
Unless you're Job. Fuck that guy and his herd animals and wives.
Finally, all of you, have unity of spirit, sympathy, love for one another, a tender heart, and a humble mind.
Some transitions encourage us to be "meek" as well.
Sometimes?
Shhh I was trying to be nice
The show Scrubs sort of changed my perspective on this. Religion has its place as a thing for people to grab on to in order to give them the strength to make it to the next day.
The problem comes when religion is used to oppress others.
I was gonna say "It's kinda a prereq"
No need for the qualifier. Religion is dumb.
If Jesus came back, these dipshits would have him crucified way faster than those nerd ass Romans.
In the U.S. we'd have him deported for being brown and communist/socialist/Marxist or whatever the current trend is to accuse people of.

Was Jesus “hard?” Not from what I’ve read. He was a kind, gentle, caring soul who avoided confrontation, never harmed anyone, and preach forgiveness, compassion, and love.
The right wing and their obsession over “manliness” is so pathetic.
Well there was that one time he started flipping tables and whipping people. But that was against grifters selling shit in the temple, so...
Yeah, when asking "What would Jesus do?" it's important to remember that extraordinary violence might be one of the answers.
Yeah. He lost his temper once but that’s the exception proving the rule.
And chased merchants out of the temple while brandishing a whip and kicking down their tables.
....No? That's literally the exact opposite of what the biblical God expects of men.
Jesus says that men should be compassionate, selfless, giving, and loving. That they should help orphans & widows, the sick & injured, people in prison and even..... foreigners.
Christianity has been invaded & commodified for even more horrific purposes. And I could not be more disappointed in anyone who believes this slop. Because the ones who believe this are the ones who never read the Bible and takes everything at face value.
And a pastor or someone successful claiming to be a "Christian" would never lie! Right? .....RIGHT???
They can no longer discern the wolves from their flock, and God will not have mercy on them.
Hallelujah, holy shit.
A truly devout Christian would work alongside Marxists as they have similar goals
Have you read the Old Testament? Genocide is pretty "hard" I'd say.
I'm a formerly of the faith. I've read it all an uncountable amount of times.
The New Testament is kinda of a "new era" for the tone of Christianity. The sacrifice of Jesus was the old ways being re-written and ushering in the new way. His death made it so people no longer had to make blood sacrifices and offerings in order to be forgiven. It really is a beautiful story.
The absolute selfishness and barbarism endorsed by many modern-day "Christians" would make Jesus weep.
Luckily, Jesus also promises that they will get what they are owed in the end.
I'm gonna steel-man this. I don't think that being "hard" means being an asshole. It can mean having strength of character. Courage in the face of fear, that kind of thing. You can be that kind of hard and also be compassionate.
Having said that, it is pretty shitty to assign that to a gender. Anybody of any gender can have a strong character. Also, I haven't read the article this is referring to, so it could be full of toxic masculinity for all I know.
Where is the passage where God asked men to be hard?
When God says "cum before me"
IF YOU HARD YOU HARD
Check his avatar and that pic. Money says tough guy here couldn't hang with my old ass outside at Lowe's for a single shift. He'd stroke out if I strapped 20lbs. to his back, handed him a rifle and marched him down to the creek with me. LOL, he ain't gonna cowboy nothing.
And what in the AI is that cowboy supposed to be doing? Running, uh, fence? Creating a lasso out of, uh, ropey stuff?
lol he’s about to get run over by that stampede because he has no horse.
He's unbaling hay to roll it out or let it loose in a feeder ring. Holding twine or net wrap and next to a big pile of hay. Don't think it's AI. Cows usually get pretty interested when someone is doing that. Tend to swarm to get to be the first one with their head in the hay.
fuck yeah
i wanna fuck your god so hard in the ass his religion becomes a thing of the past.
I wanna go so deep I make Mary blush and weep.
I think you get the point.
like your god who will get the tip. and the shaft.
and fingers, ohh about 3 and a half.
wow god fucking jokes write them selves. maybe He is guiding my hand! praise jeebus.
Where in the Bible does God command you to be hard in the way the first tweet is suggesting? I know he commands you to be hard in the other way with the line that says "go forth and multiply."
nothing manlier than animal exploitation and a total disregard for climate change.
Most men I know are doughy as fuck.
Get thee to a gym. Stop eating crap.
The hard, true man Eric conn is a rancher with a blog. Doing God's real work of desissyfying America, one substack article at a time.
The world needs more hard men like this guy with his online journal!
Right? The hardest men I've ever known LOVED to write self-help articles for people they looked down on in their spare time. 🙄
I'm built for comfort not for speed
