Leviticus 19:33-34

33 ‘And if a stranger dwells with you in your land, you shall not mistreat him. 34 The stranger who dwells among you shall be to you as one born among you, and you shall love him as yourself; for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.

Luke 3:11

In reply he said to them, “Whoever has two coats must share with anyone who has none, and whoever has food must do likewise.”

Luke 14:13-14

But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind. And you will be blessed because they cannot repay you, for you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.

John 3:17

If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person?

You sure you want to go down this route? You do know that this book explicitly condones slavery, right?

Yes and it also calls for genocide.

I’m not calling the bible good.

I’m just providing examples that show the hypocrisy of those that use it to justify massive inequality.

If only they gave a shit about hypocrisy.

I mean, yeah, you're absolutely right.

Hallucinating voices and obsessing over ancient texts doesn't necessarily make someone a bad person. I might not buy into their delusion, but generally, if the voices are telling them 'you should do everything you can to make the world a kinder place', I'm not gonna complain about it.

The whole fucking Christian origin story is migrants giving birth to the messiah in a fucking barn.
