    Jesus is irrelevant to ------ianity.

    Leviticus & Romans, that’s all you need.

      Nah, it’s situational. Parts are relevant when they need to be and irrelevant when they need to be. It’s convenient like that.

      Jesus and the teachings of christianity in any of its forms are irrelevant to a functional modern society. Anyone who uses any parts of the bible beyond a few cherry-picked, out of context, touchy-feely bits as a foundation for their morality is almost certain to be a worse person for it.

        Oh I went to a Christian school, read it all, did the textual analysis of the different pentateuch authors, that stuff.

        And what do Christians actually quote from all that? Shit from leviticus and romans about hating gay people. That’s what matters.

        And at weddings people read “love is kind…” before that Khalil Gibran poem about the temple columns.

        Truly, contemporary Christians are receiving their reward.

          They do like Genesis too, as far as “original sin” meaning everyone is born doomed, and Eve meaning all women are bad.
