Jesus came and preached peace if you believe the author of Ephesians. Jesus is also reported to have said that if someone strikes you on the cheek, offer up to them your other as well. He also rebuked the hypocrites in every account in the Bible.

i do not take any document as old as the bible at face value. i am definitely a hypocrite, but mainly because i'm an american. my faith is not rooted in scripture. you could burn every bible on earth and i do not think it would change a damn thing about good versus evil.

this meme is also self-defeating, it's doing the very thing it's critiquing.

it's just a meme though.

Jesus also reportedly asked why one would concern themselves with plucking the mote from one's neighbors eye when they have a beam in their own eye. Not all criticism is indicative that you are wrong, but in a true sense the meaning of any communication is the response you get. If you never really consider quietly and calmly and question your suppositions then you are wasting the gift you were born with. I agree with someone who says many self-appointed Christians who claim to follow Christ (especially in the USA) are in fact are deceivers and hypocrites.

Jesus would be liberal up until the point where that started meaning: We should have the state manage everything.

Good and evil are abstract words. You can't put either in a wheelbarrow nor on your mantlepiece. When people argue and fight over what they think an abstract word means and refuse to amend or alter their understanding or models to admit maybe there is ultimately no difference to fight over-- would you say such a person is deluded or not?

i dunno, all words are abstractions to me. we're just doing the text version of certain pitched vibrations attached to meanings, which change.

it's like art, or porn. i can't easily define it but i know it when i sees it.
