Fascinating.

Why Evangelicals Hate Jesus « religiousintelligence.com (http://www.religiousintelligence.com/christianity/why-evangelicals-hate-jesus/ - broken link)

a quick snip that well-represents the article text:

Quote:
Jesus unambiguously preached mercy and forgiveness. These are supposed to be cardinal virtues of the Christian faith. And yet Evangelicals are the most supportive of the death penalty, draconian sentencing, punitive punishment over rehabilitation, and the governmental use of torture.

Yeah, it has always been obvious to me.

It's the same with all religions.
Just look at the catholic religion..always begging for money yet the pope and cardinals and bishops wear the finest cloth and eat the best food; wear gold and silver and jewels. Hypocrites, all.

I'll stick with the gospel of Thomas..

Jesus wasn't against the rich, he was against people who put money before God.

I wholeheartedly agree with the OP. it is so obvious with the average mainline conservative on this forum where they would stone the accused to death before they were even convicted of anything. They have a guilty before proven innocent mindset

Especially this verse from the Gospel of Thomas: "Let Mary leave us, for women are not worthy of life." Jesus said, "I myself shall lead her in order to make her male, so that she too may become a living spirit resembling you males. For every woman who will make herself male will enter the kingdom of heaven."

LOL !

Hey, if everyone else can pick and chose what they want from the gospels, so can I!

Hey, He wasn't pushing transgenderism, was He?

Anyway, I am a woman and haven't worn a dress or skirt or the dreaded 'high heels' in over 20 years. Can I get into heaven?
