who then has to rob the people to pay the debts
which is exactly why the system is as it is now, to serve those usurious money lenders, who benefit from raising the time preference of the population as high as possible, which eventually gets to the sodom and gomorrah level
Which is why I don't want to just recreate this situation, or just sit quietly by while people come up with business plans for raping civilization AGAIN. 😕
The least I can do is get up in public and say
DO NOT TRUST THE MONEY LENDERS! MONEY LENDERS IS ASSHOE!
yep, just like the christians did all of the last 2000 years lol
this is one of the things that bugs me about most christians these days, they don't have the whip the money lenders thing properly in their mind, it is pure evil
that was literally a conspiracy between the money lenders and the priests btw, to make this statute to require this particular coin, and the money lenders cornered the market and charged a premium, and the priests didn't change the rule because they were getting part of that premium so they could live high on the hog
the exact nature of what jesus was all about was the collusion of finance and government, and it should be the most primary goal of all christians to fight against that everywhere, these days christians are almost more wishy washy and complacent than even these fucking atheists, turn the other cheek? lol, how about whip the fucking money lenders in the temple!!!!
People keep telling me that Christianity is about praying and not about economics and it be like,
Bible much?
The first rule of Christ Club is you don't get to tell others what Christ Club is about
😅
pretty sure it's the other way around but nobody has to agree with you either
He was just joking.
Christians don't really talk about what the Bible mostly talks about because it's not en vogue and sounds archaic, and then everyone is like OMG, they're talking about coveting the oxen, again! These people are so out of touch! 🤦♀️
Preach about chastity all day, but NEVER EVER talk about not lending out money for consumption or the benefits of accurate measures and debt jubilees, or the importance of donating to charity and helping your neighbors because that is LITERAL COMMUNISM OMG.
we are all stuck in a borderless city of Sodom, these people don't even realise
Actual communists want there to be a state that determines what is morally right, in the economic realm, and forces everyone to do that.
Actual anarchists want there to be no state, but also don't want some chick on the internet to discuss the morality of usurious or nearly-usurious practices because that puts emotional/social pressure on them to not be a gigantic asshole.
Neither side wants to hear about the Bible. 🤣
anarchists who are atheists are just libertines and just want to have their jollies and then die, none of this horrible learning and pain stuff pls
They don't just want to be libertines. They want to get cheered on by everyone else.
Everyone wants praise, nowadays, and flips out when someone says,
The value of praise is entirely dependent upon the source.
You think there isn't learning and pain on the path that atheists walk? When you don't have a magic book and magic friend to turn to, your entire life is first-hand discovery, exploration, trial and error, learning, meditating, seeking truth, re-seeking truth.
Marcus Aurelius may have been questionably spiritual, but he's close enough to an atheist to make the point better than I could.
To brashly and stupidly equate atheism solely with hedonism is pretty sophomoric and tired at this point in human history man.
Like, think through this logic.
Anarchistic atheist: I don't believe in religion. Religious morality is just made up hocus-pocus.
Me: Okay, I believe in it.
AA: That's because you are functionally retarded or brainwashed.
Me: Okay, fine. I think what you're doing with your business is probably immoral, according to my religion.
AA: I feel unsafe. The religious people are after me!
Me: I only said one sentence 🤷♀️ , and you just said you didn't believe in divine or spiritual punishment or morality, anyway.
AA: Yes, but you said that you did and other people do and they might listen to you and then they will also think I'm doing something immoral and they will like me less and maybe avoid doing business with me.
Me: Cry harder.
AA: OMG LITERAL COMMUNISM.
😅
literally the way these libertine anarchist materialist/nihilists think
they know they are doing bad things in their heart, at minimum turning a blind eye, and more often, profiting a little, and then they freak out at you for pointing it out, like, hold on, i thought you said this wasn't wrong?
Nostr can actually make the other way around not such a freakin cringe experience.
Reading the actual bible with high signal commentary from perspectives that clash.
Instead of getting welcomed by a bunch of close minded InFlUeNcOrs telling me what the "Real" Christ Club is all about.
iron sharpens iron
our society has been deliberately coddled and sheltered from harsh reality and force fed this atheistic materialist ideology underpinning the babylon system and such discussions inevitably get kicked off the silos where the crocodile tears rule the day
here you just gotta roll with the punches, that's why the "Christ Club" thing makes me smile 😁
Christ Club is about being nice and everyone liking you and lambs and rainbows and cherubs and Jesus is my boyfriend and don't be judgmental about things, just go with the flow and save the planet.
Now, you're all caught up on the Real Christ Club. No problem. Anytime.
in actual fact, half of the bible is about economics!
