"I hate you guys, kill yourself" said Jesus probably during daylight saving time because he didn't sleep enough.
I hear he also dropped the n word a couple times on Twitter but he was taking Ambien so it wasn't his fault.
Also, Jesus was so just of full love when they did the Nazi salute twice.
The only difference between a religion and a cult is time
I've heard the distinction described as "it's a cult when the founder is still around making stuff up, it becomes a religion after he dies and his followers are left to continue doing that in his name."
Number of followers helps too.
I have as much authority as the Pope. I just don’t have as many people who believe it.

The difference is sincerity.
So then... We don't need to apply empathy to whoever that guy is.
Who’s her?
Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde. She asked Trump to have mercy for immigrants and pissed him off.
...she's an episcopalian bishop who led trump's inaugural service, asking that he accept god's humility and share his mercy with marginalised people who fear him, specifically naming genderqueer, immigrant, and refugee populations...
Every time I see that I'm so skeeved out. Like I understand needing to close your heart's empathy to deceivers. It's something I've had to do with abusers who play on pity. But this is language that you use to prepare people to do evil
Notably, I don't think folks would consider Christian teaching would not explicitly declare that you should hate (that part is usually just implied).
Generally what they say is that while you shouldn't just yield and let "bad" people walk all over you and society, you shouldn't "hate" them either.
This sounds like Warhammer 40K flavour text. How can anyone write this and think that they are the good guy?
