Hippie socialist Jesus > Supply-Side Republican/Conservative Jesus

Any educated and intelligent person should see that the prosperity gospel is just greed promotion disguised as religious edicts.

Yeah I am actually really curious how they explain that, if anyone has a genuine answer.

There is so much talk in the Bible about riches and wealth and being rewarded for being a good Christian but my memory serves that it’s referencing the holy spirit or rather the relationship with God is rewarding in and of itself and that the riches and all that is in the afterlife.

And every time I recall it talking about wealth on earth it is vilified and you’re supposed to give it away. And of course there this famous quote

And Jesus said unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, It is hard for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven. And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. Matthew 19:23-26

Anyway yeah I’m curious how people can teach this aspect of the Bible with such a contradicting incorrect interpretation. I argue that it’s a contradicting book in itself all the time but wealth is not one I recall. We have hated the wealthy for millenia lol

There is a multitude of reasons why people support abortion. One of the common arguments is that it is better to not exist than to be born poor or to parents that don’t want you (I.e literally the “born to the wrong vagina” argument). This is a widely supported belief and I would say that around 20 percent of pro-choice people I’ve debated (out of hundreds) use it as their primary argument.

Asserting that there is a single reason why people hold a position is absurd.

FYI bodily autonomy arguments have largely been abandoned in academic ethics, because there is just no existing right to bodily autonomy that is sufficiently strong, and we have no basis for arguing that there should be.

I said a popular defence, not the only defence. Go to the abortiondebate or pro-choice subreddits and count how many people say that abortion is good on the basis of eliminating unwanted children.

Even better make a post asking if abortion is morally good (not just permissible, good) if the child would be born poor or the parents don’t want them. You will receive an overwhelmingly positive response, and you know it.

How about not putting them in prison at all?

If you’re trying to be funny, you’ve taken it too far. You should be yeeted into a Texas prison where you claim immature assholes belong, because this situation isn’t a fucking joke.

Ahhhh right, simple mistake to make. Middle school kids definitely deserve solitary confinement. Fucking what??

I hope that maybe you’re just ignorant to what “solitary confinement” means, but even then, you’re talking about locking children away in fucking prison for misbehaving in 6th grade art class. Get a grip.
