CouchPotato Posted March 23 Report Posted March 23 (edited) 12 minutes ago, eyeball said: Oh yes he was, that's why he was killed and would be singled out for a double tap to the head by similar suspects today. I respectfully disagree. I do think that it is partially true in the sense that political people viewed him as being dangerous, but his movement was not political. Very often such people are more dangerous to powerful people than political people. He simply preached his message and people were free to agree or disagree. Charity was voluntary. He never lobbied for any particular policy. He never staged a protest. He did not lead any uprising. He didn't resist his own arrest and execution. He didn't belong to the zealots or any of the rebel groups of his day. But he welcomed one of the zealots as one of his disciples. He also welcomed a tax collector into his fold, and they were hated at the time. The one recorded incident we have him acting violently was over the fact that money changers were doing business at the Temple. A religious issue, not a political one.

They hurl insults. They accuse people of racism over the most ridiculous things. Sure, there's dumbasses on both sides. 56 minutes ago, CouchPotato said: And most conservatives are of the mind that what the left considers caring is often misguided or sometimes just disingenuous. And the wheels on the bus go round and round. 56 minutes ago, CouchPotato said: So invoking Jesus' kindness as some kind of 'gotcha' really doesn't come across as intelligently as it does in your head.

robosmith Posted March 24 Report Posted March 24 3 hours ago, CouchPotato said: Oh, ok, fair enough, robosmith, I will change that for you. One can denigrate the group BLM and still believe that black or, more importantly, all lives matter. Sorry, for the misunderstanding. The thing is, "all lives" are not under attack by rogue cops who shoot unarmed blacks. And we have numerous instances where OTHER COPS lie about that to cover it up, known as "the blue wall of silence." 🤮 Quote

The Bible is the imaginary figment...it's a miracle it even contains anything Jesus talked about that was important to ordinary people. That would be redacted for security purposes if the Bible was only being revealed today. As it is the story of Jesus the progressive rebel has been around for a while now. Cranky old Bible thumpers only seem to inspire it. Quote A government without public oversight is like a nuclear plant without lead shielding.

Depending on the year in the last 10 years, Police shoot more unarmed white people than black people. Yes, all lives are killed by police. All lives are impacted by bad policing.
