Castiel233 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 How Jesus is usually sold: Jesus loves you and if you are a good person and just believe in Him you get to live in Heaven after you die What Jesus is actually selling: Jesus came to save the Jews, he spoke in parables so people couldn’t understand His message and then He wouldn’t have to save them. His book has lot and lots of rules (commands actually) He fully expects you to adhere to. These include Believing the impossible Abandoning your family Hating yourself Giving away all that you own Blessing people that curse you Trusting God instead of going to the doctor These "add ons" are brought to your attention after they have got you. They wouldn't dare start with them as their sales pitch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then they bleed you dry -- mind, body, time, and most importantly to them - your wallet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rach Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Minister: "Jesus has a great plan for your life." Everybody: Yay!!! Great plans! What they don't tell you is that his plan involves turning you into a willing masochist, and that his idea of great plans and a good time is everybody elses' idea of a nightmare.
