If we listened to Jesus and took the money out of religion, there would be no religion.
And if Christianity evolved from Judaism, why are their still Jews, stupid! Well, there aren’t too many Jews anymore. The three major religions are said to be Christianity, Islam and Judaism. There are 2 billion Christians, 1.2 billion Muslims and 13 million Jews. That’s over 100 TIMES less. And they still have not recovered from the 16 million high before Christian Germany knocked them down to 11 million. They did kill our Lord you know! So its okay.
Takes me back to when we had a nice unmarried lady with a few toddlers living next door with her mother. She was very round and very blond and I liked her even though she always had a Jesus T-shirt on. One day she knocked on the door to say her Pentecostal church (that’s the one that believes the Devil lives in our upper digestive tracks so they throw up in bags and buckets in church) asked that each member bring a new family to Easter services.
I explained to her that as we were Jewish we had to decline. She asked what that had to do with anything. I told her we didn’t believe Jesus was the son of God. Her wide smile and bubbly personality wilted as the horror of it sunk in. She told me she had no idea that Jews didn’t accept Jesus as Lord, which EVERYONE accepted. Well other than the 5 billion people who don’t. Which I know would be cruel to let her know. Ignorance is bliss…
