Is there a new, New Testament ? Because republican Jesus is a prick.

Not really that religious, but have republicans printed a new bible? Just seems to be not much Christ in these Christians!!!! Apologies to all you non religious members. And Christian teachings are suppose to be their strong point. Wow.

He made all sorts of excuses and arguments to prop himself up as the only real mouthpiece of The One True Gawd when trying to make money off - err, "convert" all the poor Gentile schmucks unhappy with Imperial Rome. He also was the primary push separating Christianity from Judaism, even as he and his fellow-travelers were co-opting the Talmud for the "Old Testament portion of their church teachings.

When you do a little study, you find that early Church politics had very little to do with the supposed teachings of Christ - just as most modern "Evangelical" or "Reformed" Christianity and similar Christianist movements (i.e., Mormons, 7th Day Adventists, Jehovah's Witnesses) have very little to do with those teachings.
They're all about using the Fear of God and Death to gain power within the group and over converts.

shall inherit the earth.......... and rule over the parasite takers, losers and haters, who do not understand the burdens of their betters.
Also remember that when you're blessed by the Lord the maidens will let you do anything you wish. Take them by their "sin holes"."

group. Focus on the the words of Jesus, rather than the OT, with a somewhat critical eye toward Paul. Take that away and you have the true Christians.
