The one citation you did give me turned out to be false… I will need actual chapter and verse references before I believe you on any other bible claims.

Forgive me for not taking “someone counted it” as a citation.

And its absolutely not the primary theme of the bible, that is supplication to god in all things.

Saying “starts with” when it doesnt appear until half way into the second chapter is fascinating. Amos is a short book, we’re nearly a quarter of the way through it before the needy are mentioned.

And even then its not “give to the needy”. Its “dont sell the needy for money”. Did you read Amos before mentioning it?

I never said it was the sole reason. Youre attacking me for a position I neither hold nor expressed.

All these millions of Christians who believe what they believe and support them must be fake christians too, huh? Sure is lucky youre here to tell us who is and isnt a real Christian.

The bible doesnt command us to feed the hungry or care for the poor thousands of times. There a handful of times in the new testament where it does so, but pretending the bible is this spotless pro-humanity text is at best ignorant and at worst misinformation.

I would agree if this was an American only phenomenon, but American Christianity isnt the only flavour and it isnt the only one which propagates hate and division.

Unfortunately christianity is a religion of fear, a religion of obedience to power and might makes right, a religion of total control and dominance. In effect it embeds and empowers fascism.

Christian mental gymnastics turns bigotry into being loving. Since Christians do not comprehend love without fear and shame, they are unable to actually be loving without hurting others.

This is the fruit of Christianity. Hate and division
