Welcome to c/Christianity

"Let it be very clear, then, that when the church preaches social justice, equality, and human dignity; when the church defends those who suffer poverty or violence, this is not subversive nor is it Marxism. This is the authentic magisterium of the church.
-Óscar Romero

There's a part in the Bible where humans are so powerful when working together as one that god has to make us speak different languages to make it harder for us to communicate and work together. (hexbear.net)

specter-global Communism is so powerful that even God fears it

The Lord said, “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. - Genesis 11:6

best left to Rabbis and fan fic writers.

Or online discussion on the c/christianity comm created specifically for good faith leftist discussion lol

In terms of creating a consistent tone, literally all I'm doing is reading the book of prophets as the critique of the 'historical' books (meaning Genesis to 2 Chronicles) that it quite explicitly is. Book of Jeremaiah quite explicitly calls out priests and scribes for handling the text falsely, book of Isaiah calls israel out for the genocide and slavery and exploitation (and then israel famously gets completely owned, in the story explicitly because its hands are full of blood).
