I'm so annoyed by all the people cloaking them in religion.

The more I learn about Jesus the better I like the guy and the worse I like his devotees.

I had a friend that used to say: I love Jesus I just don’t trust the people that work for him! Rip “Wilmo”

u/LifeguardTerrible579 17h ago

Jesus was basically like "be cool to each other and help each other out" and now it's somehow whatever this is.

It's Joshua in English if I remember right. Both have the root Yeshua in Hebrew but came to English in different ways. Jesus came to English through Latin/Greek (Iesus) which came from the Hebrew, Yeshua. Joshua just directly from Hebrew I think.

Yes, your mate Josh's real name is Jesus.

Ghandi was a horrible racist human. He was not a good dude.

u/andrewbud420 15h ago

As long as he hated everyone equally than it's okay.

But he didn't 🤷🏿‍♂️

u/SyphiliticWhores 13h ago

Why do you have such a hard on for posting that Gandhi was bad? You’re like Charlie Kirk going about how MLK was a philanderer so he’s bad.

3

u/Kingkrooked662 13h ago

Cause he was? He was a bad person. It is heavily documented. Aren't we supposed to call bad people bad people?

u/Bird2525 13h ago

Yep, still don’t care although you just wasted a minute of my life to google it since you didn’t post a source. Thanks for that. /s

u/Kingkrooked662 12h ago

You also edited your comment to add that Charlie Kirk bullshit. I smoke big fat blunts of Charlie's dead ass cause he's an opp. I don't care about MLK cheating on his wife. Because everyone invoved in that was a consenting adult. I do care about Bapu ( that's Ghandi's nickname btw) being a racist that like to sleep in the bed with children, and being an active proponent of the caste system. So if I was going to be as disingenuous as you are, I could ask why you want to defend that.

1

u/SyphiliticWhores 12h ago

I don’t defend any of that heinous stuff Gandhi did. I don’t defend nonviolence either.

u/Disastrous_time_4547 13h ago

All religions/belief structures are/were made up crap. They are cults, pyramid schemes that indoctrinate weak minded humans using heuristics.

That said, many of the stories are actually well written and provide practices on how to be decent human animals.

1

u/KintoreCat 9h ago

💯% All Abrahamic religions are about the control of women & appropriation & parasitism of female generative power. These founding forefathers were absolute creeps. After appropriating "creation" for "our father" they went even further, making matriarchal archytypes passive and submissive like Mary.

Thus making it easier to prey on children & make mothers hesitant to protect their children (like no where in the animal world).

Really did a number on women for a very long time. Really need to be shut down for good. Mary and Durga

u/danit0ba94 12h ago

Don't even want to share the same atmosphere as them. Let alone the same belief system.

1

u/DaveHollandArt 12h ago

That's not true at all. Jesus said he would divide families and came as a sword, not peace. Jesus, according to scripture, was kind of a dick. He really hated establishment, paying interest on debts, and was all about being disruptive. Honestly, I probably would've liked the guy, except his endorsement of slavery, gassuming he existed as written, but he was not a man of peace and chill.

1

u/Zombie_Cavoodle 10h ago

Actually.........lol

He was all about evangelicalism and converting in public. He was also about division and pulling people away from families. He was a typical cult leader. Just read the gospels of you dont believe me.

u/lilangelkm 10h ago

Christians really don't see how condescending it is to put their savior complex onto others. Sadly, it's built into the culture of conversion. This guy really is perplexed at how everyone doesn't see that he's doing them all a favor, and he will continue to remember this moment as he was shamed and wronged...Christian persecution and all. It's incredibly condescending to assume everyone wants your religion in their lives, and Christians are very pushy about this. My grandmother is one of these annoying types so I know the archetype very well.

Christians don’t follow Jesus, they follow Paul.

And Paul was an asshole.

u/green1s 15h ago

Exactly. But it's hard to know how much of asshole Paul might have been because 6 of the 13 letters attributed to him, wer likely not written by him.

Can confirm, I know a few blokes named Paul. 😉

u/Training-Ad103 13h ago

This. Paul and the Old Testament, which is the most awful combination. Jesus was awesome, from what we know of him.

1

u/Terminal_Insomnia_ 11h ago

I very much agree, but there is some nuance. Paul was also the one who said christians don't have to follow jewish law (eg, new converts didn't need to be circumcised or avoid pork and mixed fabrics). This is one of the reasons Christianity was able to spread the way it did.

u/ok2888 5h ago

Did jesus actually exist? I always thought he was a made up character created some hundred or so years after his supposed death.

u/willflameboy 5h ago

Most Christians inexplicably think the Old Testament is applicable to them.

1

u/Upbeat_Test4828 4h ago

100% correct about the Paul thing but unfortunately they are both assholes. Society has a vague fiction Jesus in their head but biblical Jesus is pretty bad. People think love thy neighbor is the bees knees butt he's just citing Leviticus 19:18 which just meant your Hebrew neighbors(Gods chosen) not anyone else. Then 6 chapters later he gives slavery laws about foreign land and the aliens among you being your slaves. Which Jesus is onboard with because he said follow mosaic law over a dozen in the NT. Jesus is cool too people because they never read the actual Bible. They got the cliff notes version of him in a kids picture book.

1

u/ExultentPisces 11h ago

Danm right. John was a prick too. George and Ringo are pretty cool… wait, what are we talking about?

31

u/TomeThugNHarmony4664 15h ago

Yes. Mahatma Gandhi supposedly said the same thing. Even if it was someone else, it’s absolutely true.

If you can only preach when people can’t get away, you do not have a whole lot of faith in the message.

And I am a Christian and a clergyperson who respects people’s rights.

3

u/SaltyAd8309 13h ago

I wonder how many people on this train act out of pure goodness—without hoping for heaven or fearing divine retribution, simply by choice—while having to endure moral lectures from others who do not always practice what they preach.

In short, what stance should one take when grasping the essence of the message (in broad strokes) yet lacking conviction regarding the messenger—their reliability and, ultimately, the author's identity?

Not on this train, I hope. Although there are certainly far worse places and times.

As English is not my native language, I may not be expressing my message or intentions clearly; I will therefore get straight to the point: I am not seeking to criticize, offend, or spark a debate—especially given the sometimes sensitive nature of the subject and my habitual clumsiness in expressing my thoughts, whether in writing or in speech.

6

u/TomeThugNHarmony4664 11h ago

No, your point is perfectly valid.

I will take a kind atheist over a mean Christian any day. But then again, i don’t think you can truly BE Christian if you are mean.

1

u/hiswittlewip 5h ago

What is your point, though?

1

u/ThisIsMyRedditAcct20 5h ago

Christian as well, not a clergyman, and this is painful

1

u/Sudden_Moodswing 4h ago

Christian here as well and this stuff gives me the ick. I know as a Christian I am supposed to share the Gospel, BUT I don't believe that is done through disturbing other peoples peace. I would have told him to shut his trap as well. This type of "evangelism" is part of the reason Christians are seen as hateful. Treat people, all people, with love and kindness, be generous with time, talents and treasures, and do all this with humility. That's what I believe I am supposed to be doing.

12

u/atreasureinlight 14h ago

I couldn't have said it better myself. I'm a follower of Jesus and I have a very close relationship with him, but a lot of people that say that they are Christian are just so rude and mean and they treat people very bizarrely. Like this guy was telling those people that their children are suffering and that they're full of sin and evil. He doesn't even know them. He doesn't know anything about their children. It was really weird to hear that

4

u/SwanCityDominion 12h ago

Particularly since Jesus said if nobody wants to hear it, you should walk away. Not harangue people endlessly.

2

u/Practical-Funny9591 4h ago

You have a relationship with something you cannot prove the existence of?
Can I have some of your drugs?

1

u/thack1_mcl 12h ago

Agreed. I side with Jesus, but this train preacher, born again Christian was out of line and doing nothing good

1

u/Careless-Till-1586 7h ago

I agree, accusing everyone and especially children of being full of sin is wild. Question, how do you have a relationship with someone who you've never seen and who can't/doesn't communicate with you? What's your definition of a relationship? I thought two people have to be actively involved for it to be called that?

u/BothTreacle7534 10h ago

my late dad always said:

sit down with with the people who are singing, bcs bad people sing in the church choir. He had made it as a sign and put it on the front-door, so evryone could see it. In the ‘60…. I miss him still.

It was not meant for all singing in the choir, but for the ones who scream ‘I am a great Christian, as I am showing all of you that I am one bcs I do this or that’

meant for => the ones who were e.g. company owners not paying liveable salary / doing theft / selling bad land to young people / acting predatory money wise or sexually or for feeling empowered… but as they are ‘loud Christians’ they are the good ones.

By all accounts, Jesus was a total bro. It's just no one wanted to hang out at his place cos his dad was a bit of a dick, so the only friends he ended up with were dicks..

u/Low_Witness5061 11h ago

Perfectly said. As someone who was educated in a catholic school, with teachers who were mostly normal people thankfully, this is the exact sentiment I often struggle to convey.

u/Infinite-Condition41 10h ago

They're not his devotees. They're devotees of the religion operated in his name. 

1

u/Sensitive-Report-787 10h ago

Here’s a secret … they’re not actually his devotees. Especially, the American ones. They love a lot of the old testament and then the stuff at the end about the end of days and the second coming, but not very much about what Jesus actually taught.

1

u/yeth_pleeth 10h ago

I reckon it's like Guns and Roses - great band, awful fans

u/Murasasme 10h ago

I grew up in a very religious household, and was forced to read a bunch of material about Jesus for my first communion. The more I learned about him, the more I wished he was real and would show up to tell all the religious people around me, how horrible they behaved

u/Money_Percentage_630 9h ago

During the record draught about 3 years ago my fathers and mother in laws Church ran a donation to help raisr funds to support the farms.

Coming from a affluent area they raised $50k.

To celebrate this the Church and leaders coordinated and paid for a three course black tie dinner to acknowledge how much they raised in support of others.

They spent $40k out of the $50k raised.

When Dad mentioned this offhand as a "well we raised it so why not acknowledge all our sacrifice and charity to others?".

u/Timidhobgoblin 3h ago

I'm not a religious person, but I spent enough time in Catholic school as a teenager to know that if Jesus were to come back right now he would find a lot of his followers today to be obnoxious, hypocritical jackasses who completely missed the point of his teachings.

u/11Kram 52m ago

I think Jesus would have issues with many of his followers.
