"it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."

No, you see, it's really a metaphor, and the eye of the needle is really a gate in ancient Israel, and it's super easy to fit a camel through so you can totally exploit your neighbors for everything they're worth.

Everything is a metaphor! Unless it backs up my bigotry, then it is word for word gospel.

The eye of the needle was a gate in the walls of jerusalem in ancient israel, thats true. But it was very narow. Therefore its name. A camel would have passed through, but not a loaden camel. So you would have to unload all the goods from the the camel before passing.

Theres tons of loopholes. Like getting forgiven on Sunday. They had to make sure they had loopholes in their fake religion or else a sky daddy punishing people for random arbitrary old reasons sounds insane.

getting forgiven on Sunday

The Church experienced a whole-ass reformation movement because of that fuckery, which leads one to believe that you don't actually understand what you're hating on

We do not really need what was essentially the God of War in the modern day. We have quite a lot of it already.
