Jesus: LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE!
Going to be crazy when the NYPD bomb Jesus's house and kill his family in a SWAT raid.
I hear he has a history of problems with the state. he was literally crucified.
Little known fact that Jesus was actually just three kids in a tunic
That's tritheism
You haven't heard of the great five-in-one? Father, son, son, son, and holy spirit.
Ah yes, the Holy Quinity.
Good thing there's not six...
Stupid sexune deity...
If I'm not mistaken, the original name in Aramaic translates to something like "Jesus Christman"
Oily Josh
I look forward to your Ted Talk.
The problem is- Jesus didn't chase the people behind the money changers out of the temple with a whip, it was the low-level workers he attacked. While talking about, as you quote, how luxurious their lives were.
Jesus was doing the Batman thing- beating up on low-level criminals while leaving the real people in charge behind the scenes around.
Turning Christians into anti-capitalists is a very easy thing - they were literally taught the logic of anti-capitalism from birth.
Yet the left prefers edgelord atheism because reasons.
Atheism is just something I wear. It mostly revolves around being rational. Using more bullshit because it's more effective kind of defeats the point of it all. I don't have a problem with speaking to someone in their own terms. Proselytizing atheism just falls on dead ears and I don't care what someone else believes as long as I don't have to live by it.

I have yet to meet a "rational" atheist. Or, at least, an atheist that's any more rational than a religious person.
Proselytizing atheism just falls on dead ears
Yeah... I wonder why.
C'mon down here to the south and experience the wonderful world of preachers straight up preaching conspiracies instead of the Bible! And their followers eating that shit up!
Who pissed in your Cheerios?
And that does not describe US Christianity. Most of the regressives haven't ever read the bible.
Most Christians missed that part of scripture - they'd freak out if you told them Jesus was a communist
This also missed the parts that say "love thy neighbor" and that vengeance is God's domain alone ("Vengeance is mine.")

Imagine thinking Sam Harris is a Leftist.

This sentence just outed you as a 15 year old.
I'm a Christian and I approve.
You might be interested in Liberation theology. In short, the US didn't like them and started quite the thing in El Salvador...
I am aware of Liberation theology. I am also aware of how it was crushed - and the ones who did the crushing.
Christians don't actually learn anything logical. They are brainwashed from a young age and trained to be obedient.
If they actually thought about what their book said, they wouldn't vote for a dude who is constantly stealing, committing adultery, and bearing false witness.
They are brainwashed from a young age and trained to be obedient.
I could say that about a lot of things - nationalism, liberalism, capitalism, colonialism, white supremacism, individualism - yet I see lots of these supposedly "logical" atheists unquestioningly embracing those.
If they actually thought about what their book said,
Soooo... it's not the book then - is it?
Right, every group has irrational people and some believe awful garbage. Now go get us a demographic breakdown with odds of being Christian compared to not religious for white supremacists, etc.
You said it yourself, the teachings from their literal god lean pretty far left, but they're not a core foundational group of leftists. That's because from childhood they are brainwashed and trained to believe contradictory delusions.
If they actually thought about their religion, or had any initiative of their own, they wouldn't need to be approached by leftists, they would be the leftists approaching others.
Atheism gains when people turn to science over faith, and seek to truly understand the world around them.
your gold is corroded
Must not be real gold. Those scammy, money lending bastards...
Banks do manipulate precious metals prices through fake supply numbers. It's virtual, though, so hard to imagine corrosion there. Just corruption.
Lol no. If jesus was alive today he'd be telling you that poor people nowadays live exceptional lives and should be complacent in having their lives exploited. Jesus did not free slaves- he only cured them so they could keep providing capital to their masters.
Based and Christ-pilled
The scene in the temple is recently one of the central plot points of the new documentary, Christspiracy. The movie as a whole is a little over-sensationalized in framing their views as some kind of grand church cover-up. But some of their arguments about archeological evidence and scriptural translation differences make for interesting food for thought.
Basically they argue that the temple at that time was a big slaughterhouse, and that the "thieves" Jesus whipped could more accurately be translated as "murderers".
