As always, the Bible lets them think two things at once.

King David had a good man killed so David could grab his wife.

Noah was a drunk.

Lot was a drunk who slept with his daughters.

God uses bad men to give his divine message.

Like the Bible says, the anti Christ is Godly.

Or is face would melt off like the Nazis at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Self-serving bigoted religious teachings will still offer value to self-serving bigots, and they still exist.

Research has shown an increase in spiritual beliefs in millennials (my generation), so I don't think that the wider idea of religion will die. But I hope very few will miss churches that teach hate.

Jesus would be hated by all of them, forgiving people, helping people who are different than you, giving up all wealth to those in need... The biblical descriptions of him are very much socialistic, not greed. For how long did Christianity not allow interest on loans.. making it so Jewish people were the ones who had to open the banks.

Jesus didn't change his mind, money mattered more to people, so they just changed it and said it was fine.

Jesus was a black and/or brown Jew. They'd probably try to crucify him again.

I wonder how many actually attend with those million something marches.

I think they have to do it there because Matthew 6:5 says to:

And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward.

Hey, wait a minute...

Before I looked this place up (I didn't really know this famous complex is called that), it made perfect sense these weirdos in MAGA merch went to pray in a shopping mall of all places. Eating a fruit of knowledge made me a little less agitated about it.

With a Matthew 6:5 combo:

And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward.

But it still doesn't make sense. If they want this to happen and believe he will usher in their revelations, then they also understand they will be damned and will never get into heaven.

What, Jesus wasn't a rich, boasting, powerhungry pussy grabber??!

So they can spread Jesus's message of love and peace.... or else!

They absolutely don't follow the teachings of Bible Jesus. None of them believe in true charity and tolerance which was all I learned from being raised on the stuff.

And don't forget the grand irony of Zionism. The people currently being genocided out of Palestine actually have a much closer genetic relationship to the actual Biblical Hebrews that the people genociding them. The people who formed modern Zionism were mostly the descendants of people who converted to Judaism during its more evangelical phases. The historical events like Rome conquering Judea didn't actually expel the vast majority of the population, mainly just some of its leaders and intellectuals. Most of the historical Hebrews remained in Palestine, and they mostly converted to Islam over the centuries. Zionism can largely be approximated as the destruction and displacement of the actual descendants of historical Israel by people who later converted to Judaism. The Palestinians have a much, much closer genetic relationship to the people that Jesus would have been interacting with regularly than the average IDF soldier does today.
