CommonShore posted:Like, even in the 16th/17th century, cries of "Mammon" were pretty much just associated with "more-reformed" sects such as Puritans/Independents/Presbyterians etc. using the word mammon to represent greed is a common idiom in western cultures in general, not just Christians who are using it in an explicitly religious sense. i know that a subset of goons have a giant stick up their rear end whenever religion is brought up in any context other than mocking it, especially Christianity, but there's really no need to embarrass yourselves like this Lutha Mahtin fucked around with this message at 03:52 on Aug 27, 2019 |
