Smug “conservatives are crazy and liberals have lost their minds and I’m just in the middle” Americans are worse than anyone.
Broke: Everyone should act as if they had Jesus’s magic powers.
Woke: Everybody should act as if they didn’t have Jesus’s magic powers.
Bespoke: Everyone should have Jesus’s magic powers.
Funnily enough, a big tenet of christianity, repeated again and again in the Bible, is that everyone does have Jesus’s magic powers, or, rather, that Jesus didn’t have any magic powers, all of the Miracles were achieved by Jesus asking God and God saying I got you boo. According to Christian doctrine if any person has enough faith they can ask God and god will back them up with mojo in the same way He backed up Jesus.
So yah, Christianity kind of does say you should try and get God to heal Lepers by laying on hands in the same way Jesus did. The meme’s not wrong.
Fun fact: leprosy was considered an STI in the Middle Ages (since it’s spread by touching and any good Christian could see these guys had pissed off God something fierce). The Church provided houses with basic necessities for lepers, but made them swear abstinence as punishment, even if they were married and even if their spouse was also a leper in the same house.
The original post has to be a troll though. Social distancing from lepers is as clear an argument for social distancing as anything. Replace it with AIDS and conservatives would never fall for it.
religion was a mistake.
