Aha! Excellent question! The reason why human decency is considered evil is very simple.
When Jesus escaped the cross and purged everyone who tried to kill him at Golgotha, he explained that forgiveness, mercy, and humility are weaknesses of the human condition. If you feel someone has crossed you, then you are obligated by the LORD to get revenge, or you would be committing the mortal sin of mercy.
Observe Figure A down below. The evil ones who perverted Christ's message favor the straight cross, since they believe that he actually wanted humans to be humble, forgiving, and weak. The true followers use this bent ends variant, which demonstrates how Christ changed his mind after the Romans failed to kill him.
Is this a shitpost? I can't find any evidence of any of this. Is this like some fringe version of Christianity like the Rosicrucians or something?
I feel like I'm missing a joke.
There’s a massive silent /s at the end of that. It’s pointing out how warped conservative culture Christian ideology is, that they’re preaching the exact opposite of what Jesus actually taught, under a nazi symbol.
Exactly what I was going for.
Thank you lol Its really hard to distinguish that especially on something like Lemmy because so many people will actually believe and post about the most insane shit and be 100% sincere about it.
It's the "Inquisitor Cycle" variant of Christianity. I don't think they have an official name, so...yeah.
