(21,046 posts)From the Book of MATTHEW:
Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents. 25:27
Jesus will give to those who already have and take from those who have nothing. He must've been a Republican. 25:29
The servant who kept and returned his master's talent was cast into the "outer darkness" where there will be "weeping and gnashing of teeth." 25:30
Ointment for Jesus' head is more important than helping the poor. 25: 6-11
From the gospel of LUKE:
Be content with your wages" -- no matter how unjust they may be. 3:14
Whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have."
Jesus was the first Republican. 8:18
In the parable of the talents, Jesus says that God takes what is not rightly his, and reaps what he didn't sow. The parable ends with the words: "bring them [those who preferred not to be ruled by him] hither, and slay them before me." 19:22-27
Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds. (And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.) For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him." These verses are used by Rethuglicans to justify protecting the rich from taxation. 19:24-26
2 CORINTHIANS:
Paul set an example for televangelists by robbing some churches. 11:8
2 THESSALONIANS:
Those who will not or cannot work should starve to death. 3:10

I think the bible is a bunch of ridiculous statements and a sane person would not take illiterate bronze age writings seriously. There is no historical evidence that Jesus actually existed anyway. He's got the same birthday and virginal mother as Mithra, Apollo, Osiris and many other gods.
