1. Not me. Jesus was a jerk. He's the one who came up with the idea that people who didn't believe

in him would burn in hell for eternity. Fuck that and fuck Jesus.

3. If you put it like that ...it does sound a little "Trumpy"

It brought back old memories of my youth when I worried about getting struck by lightning. 😁☮

6. Show me chapter and verse where Jesus 'came up with the idea' that those who don't believe in

him would burn in hell for eternity.

9. Show me anywhere in the Bible where the idea is mentioned outside of Jesus saying it.

While you’re searching for a reply:

Jesus' Teachings on Fiery Punishment
Gehenna (Valley of Hinnom): Jesus frequently spoke of Gehenna, a physical valley outside Jerusalem used as a garbage dump where fires burned constantly, as a symbol of eternal destruction, a place where the "maggot does not die and the fire is not put out" (Matthew 23:33, Mark 9:47-48).
Matthew 25:41: In the parable of the sheep and goats, Jesus describes the wicked going "away to eternal punishment, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels".
Matthew 13:42 & 18:8: He speaks of a fiery furnace where people will be cast, a place of weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Matthew 10:28: He warns against fearing those who can kill the body but rather fearing Him who can "destroy both soul and body in hell" (Gehenna).

In Mark 16:16, Jesus says you must believe in him and be baptized to have eternal life, otherwise, god will condemn you and punish you in hell.

4. Trump's Christians are the public face of Christianity in America today.

5. He never said "worship me," he said follow me. Much harder.

8. Jesus Man . . . Christ Consciousness

That is how I prefer to view the topic.

One should know that the stories about Jesus Christ were written several hundred years after his death.

Most people don’t question the missing years of Jesus. He just disappears for a while and no one seems to be curious about it. However, there are people who believe he studied in India among other countries in the region, and that there are records of his journeys to other lands. Some people believe he was a healer, mystic and philosopher bringing his message of Light and Love that we all have that same capabilities.


Considering how Jesus has been portrayed by the usurpers of the religion, I can understand why people turn against their message of hate. They build their narrative and their base by cherry picking verses that fit their agenda. Most church goers don’t even read their bible because they can’t read, and rely on preachers to manipulate them. They tell them how to vote and who to hate.

10. They have 100% lost that

Jesus feeling. Amazing times. Never ever thought Americans would support such monsters. Like living in the TWILIGHT ZONE for sure.
