[quote=harvey][quote=scaredyclassic]man, jesus bugs me.[/quote]
His message, even when not perfectly conveyed, is still infinitely more compelling than your whining.[/quote]
what part of the message is compelling? the afterlife part? in general, when people threaten me, I do the opposite of what they want.
but when He threatens us, we are supposed to listen?
“He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’
46 “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”
yeah, well, your threats kind of undermine your message. chill out dude. I don’t like to be pushed around. no one does…on the other hand the sheep like a strong hand. without the threat of hell, and the promise of heaven, what’s left? be nice Cuz I said so?
also.
love thy neighbor as thyself is a dumb strategy in a society filled with self loathing assholes, like ours.
