But 95% of her tweets are about the campaign!

Holy fuck, that ratio.
Why is Wu getting aboard the jesus train anyway? The only fucking reason she's a Christian at all is because she wanted to glom on to Frank who comes from a religious family. Before she met him she was pretty much

 

[AprilRains]

John just destroyed his own argument. The rich are instructed to be personally charitable, not to outsource the problem.

Wu diving into Christian Socialism is really weird since it's really only a thing in the Commonwealth countries, Universal Unitarians, and somewhat a thing with Black Liberation Theology churches in places like Chicago, not Boston. No one said he could run a good campaign though.

"Semiliterate" is a tad generous.

I always thought Jesus was famous for knocking over the (((tax collectors))) plates of forced collection from the people because he saw it as stealing and then ended up being crucified for it because he wouldn't give into the state...

Brianna speaks... Jesus wept...

John is so obviously a religious larper.

Acts expands on the work of Jesus, but it was in the Gospels you find most of what Wu is badly quoting.

Second, trying to frame the word of God so as to agree with your own arguments is distorting the message and Jesus roasted the Pharisees over trying similar stunts.

Finally, trying to portray the message of Jesus as "woke" is inane, because being woke by default means being an arrogant moral hypocrite, while Jesus stressed humilty was more important, as the woke are just like the Pharisees he called out: more obsessed with looking good than actually being good.

Which is weird to me because it's not like Brianna tries to be anything else for Frank (successful, competent, a woman, etc).

It was the money changers and people selling sacrificial animals like doves and it was because he considered commercial activity to be defiling the temple and turning it into a "den of thieves." Depending on how you read the event it may have actually been two different times he did something similar.

Weird. John doesn't even look presentable, much less good.

In fairness, Acts does describe a sort of communal lifestyle among some early Christians, where holding back a single penny would get you snuffed out by an angry God.
However: becoming a Christian and living that lifestyle was voluntary, and Christians at the time still thought that Jesus would be returning within the next couple of decades so any sort of "Christian government" institutions were just a stopgap measure. There's no concept in the New Testament of a large-scale, long-term government (i.e. Rome) being run on Christian principles, because that just wasn't in the cards at the time. You were supposed to just hold out until the Kingdom of Heaven takes over. This holds true all the way through to the book of Revelation, which is just a 1st-century political cartoon against Rome. What comes after bad government isn't good government, it's Jesus coming back and kicking everyone's ass.
Plus, the socialist hippie commune was attributed to Peter, but at the same time Paul was going around evangelizing without setting up communes. So you can't really argue that socialism is required for Christians unless you think Paul was doing it wrong, which is a pretty hot take.

Anyway, John doesn't actually believe in any of this, so who cares.

John is also new to this bullshit he's talking as the usual talking point if you wanted to try to claim Jesus directly espoused socialism would be Matthew 22:21, that is, "Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's."

There's so many versions of the bible like compare the king James version to the english standard version which use a lot of different language and is translated very differently. I can't read every one cause it's a marathon each time . And it's also easy to cherry pick the bible.

As a good Christian I wonder if Bri has ever read Leviticus? Being a holier-than-thou Christian is not the way you want your shampaign to go.

 

[Sissy Galvez]

John//Brianna Wu: The Bible said the government should force the wealthy and middle class to support the poor in the form of taxes.

Bible and Religious scholars (really anyone who goes to church): uh no, it says people should give freely what they have and not be coerced.

John: I’m an engineer!! Cybersecurity!

Just another example of John talking out of his ass and getting owned by people far more knowledgeable than him. Actual engineers either don’t follow him or don’t care to correct him because he’s worthless. Thankfully, religious people are nothing like that.

Edit: Johns reading of the Bible was Al Franken’s book, lies and the lying liars who tell them. He read about supply-side Jesus and thought Jesus said the exact opposite (ie. Give all your money to the government to redistribute to the poor).

 

[MyOtherNicknameIsAPun]

Wu is shitty atheist (as in "clueless") masquerading as shitty christian. Don't argue with scripture literalist about what's in a scripture. They read it straight and go for the simplest interpretation based on the text and they know the text back and forth.

Can't you even counter "does god smile on aborted kids?" with "does god smile when they are born limbless tards"?

But it's nice to see someone with balls to ask Wu question point blank. One day it will be an engineer and on that day we'll celebrate.

The standard talking point amongst these "Christians" is that the Old Testament doesn't matter, or most of it doesn't. Never mind that the story of Jesus makes no sense and is meaningless without the Old Testament. Or that Paul said homosexuality was a sin in Romans.

 

[Solzhenitsyn]

I bet he expected his dickriding Twitter orbiters would be able to bail him out of this rough scrape by shouting down the opposition, but he made the mistake of hitting people with a bigger social media footprint than him. I see his opponents in this beatdown are easily getting 10x the amount of likes and retweets as him.

Also, the overwhelming majority of his audience would never have picked up a Bible, let alone studied it enough to not look like a fool in an argument. You'd have to be a truly fanatical worshipper of Wu to try and defend him in this folly, and he ain't got any left.
It's the same thing he ran into when he made a fool of himself with his babbling about guns. John's up against people who have been hearing the limp-wristed arguments of limousine liberals, about how uwu Jesus loves everyone so if you don't like abortion you're not a Christian, for decades. He has nothing new to add to the debate, and edgy atheism on social media has been out of fashion for years now, so he doesn't even get woke points from it.

John must have been too busy tweeting during classes at seminary:

“Let the thief no longer steal, but rather let him labor, doing honest work with his own hands, so that he may have something to share with anyone in need.” - Ephesians 4:28

“The desire of the sluggard kills him, for his hands refuse to labor.” - Proverbs 21:25

“Nor did we eat anyone's bread without paying for it, but with toil and labor we worked night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you.” - Thessalonians 3:7

“For even when we were with you, we would give you this command: If anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat.” - Thessalonians 3:10

“A woman shall not wear a man's garment, nor shall a man put on a woman's cloak, for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord your God.” - Deuteronomy 22:5

“That’s a man, baby” - Austin Powers

Jesus himself made the position clear on that.

He said all that came before was just as valid as after him, all he did was eliminate any specific confinement of God's grace to the Jews by ritual and tradition, as one had to become Jewish in a cultural sense at least to otherwise fall under the covenant God had established with them prior to Jesus eliminating said restrictions.

Acts expounded on this, with Peter and the early church leaders further stipulating any Jewish specific rituals or customs were unneeded for acceptance as a Christian. The moral precedents that did involve such rituals or customs were still fully applicable and thus any offense agnostic to Jewish specific custom was still just as immoral (homosexuality was just as verboten for Christians as for the Jews), though Jewish specific moral customs and laws did not apply (while Jews could not charge each other interest, Christians were not bound to Jewish specific laws on usury among themselves or others).
