Getting a wealthy investor to trust a homeless person with startup capital truly is less believable than the son of god walking on water

It’s a very childish depiction of capitalism that’s pitched to the ear of kids who set up lemonade stands with their parents’ money.

This is the sort of shit Trump implies when he talks about being a self-made man who just got a million dollar loan from his father.

He’ll just admire how Jesus inspired him to cure his own leprosy by pulling himself up by his bootstraps

Pretty sure Catholicism is less heretical than whatever the Americans are worshiping

Prager is a Jew, although he refers to himself as a Judeo-Christian so that he can lump the two religions together as part of a struggle by the “civilised” west against the “barbaric” east and pretend all western progress was made on the back of a shared set of values.

yeah but you have to be pretty out there to call catholics heretical. Never met someone who though Catholics were heretical who didn’t also believe in witches

‘‘Never met someone who though Catholics were heretical who didn’t also believe in witches’’

Funny because Malleus Maleficarum was written by a Catholic Priest which is a rulebook that became official within the Catholic church to hunt heretics until the Renaissance. Demonology is literally some shit that Catholics created and Luther somehow also believed in it

Which, believing in witches is itself heresy bc it suggests that Satan can give people magic powers.

And when the merchants set up in the temple, Jesus said: “Come one, come all! Get ye’ holy loans at lowest-ever rates!”

I do like how honest this is about capitalism. First, we blaspheme against the word of God himself. Second, we admit capitalism functions on the desires of what random rich people decide should happen. Third, if you’re homeless, the best you have to hope for us debt servitude to a rich person who will absolutely make you homeless again at their first inclination.

Heal the sick, bring faith to the faithless, and help people live beyond their weak nature to the end of profit for a random rich asshole.
