    I don’t know if quoting a text in context that is aligned with other passages is really cherrpicking. Jesus is very much into revenge on people who don’t follow him. If the man existed, which I don’t think he did, he must have been insufferable. Demanding that everyone give up their life to follow him, absolute faith from his followers, absolute love from his followers, claiming no one can know anything at all except what he teaches. A narcissist to the hundredth power.

      Not the message I took as a kid but I suppose I haven’t been to church in decades unless it was for a funeral or wedding.

      I guess when you are making a religion you have to make sure your literature confidently reinforces that yours is the kingdom, the power, and the glory and those other mf’ers can go to hell.
