12 Then Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those selling doves.
13 And He declared to them, “It is written: ‘My house will be called a house of prayer.’ But you are making it ‘a den of robbers.’

My dude is pretty clearly against all forms of profitable commerce in the temple, not just the money-changers

The moneychangers thing was to do with the roman currency. You see the coins with Ceaser's face on them were considered idolatry. So donations made within the temple bounds had to made with plain coins without "graven images". Some clever people made a side line in exchanging the blasphemous currency for the more acceptable currency at advantageous interest rates.

Actually the point about the coinage underlies Jesus' remark "render unto Ceaser that which is Ceaser's". I.e. pay taxes because we don't want your crummy idolatrous money anyway.

The clever people were the temple priests themselves. They would have received kickbacks.

Also the render unto Caesar thing was less about iconoclasm and more about detachment from material possessions. Coins have had rulers on them since the year dot and I don't think the Israelites had the "man is in God's image therefore images of people are images of God" that say Islam has.

i always thought there was also an angle of not being concerned about being subjugated. like it doesnt matter if you live a life of misery and servitude because you will be rewarded in the next one. kinda similar to turning the other cheek

some teenagers who listened to chapo convinced mike gravel to run for senate, then ran his twitter account in a pretty “dirtbag left” style of shitposting and roasting other candidates, and it didn’t go anywhere because nobody gave a poo poo about gravel the first time and nobody remembers the issue they were trying to bring attention to

also mike’s a 9/11 truther and they had to dance around that in every profile of him lmao

And at least Wohls hit on Warren was funny "Elizabeth Warren : Cougar?" and the press release about their bombshell that would "shake the conscious of a nation"

Mike Gravel was already in the Senate, the Gravel teens were trying to get a presidential campaign off the ground. He was the guy who read the Pentagon Papers into record, and after 9/11 he (correctly) assumed it was an inside job and wanted Bush/Cheney investigated and prosecuted. The Teens mostly just shitposted on his official blue checkmarked account for a few months and pretended that counted as a campaign.

I've not seen the clip and I'm not interested but I feel the need to point out that the whole point of the Parable of the Good Samaritan is that the moral value of a person is how they act towards others and not the religion they espouse. But somehow people can go ahead and believe that you need to have the correct belief system to be a good person.

loved the galaxy brain take that was "love thy neighbor" means you should keep Syrian immigrants far away so they can stay your neighbors because neighbors aren't necessarily proximal

I've never even heard the phrase "rape sack" until rn and I've got to be honest, it just seems conceptually that it'd be easier to commit rape without the sack. Like it doesn't seem like it'd be a huge help to begin with and then you've got this physical evidence tying you to the victim

I guess what's concerning me is the way everyone already seems to know what a rape sack is and how it's used and I just feel left out

vv Thanks!
