Christian leader says Jesus was ‘advocating for the 2nd Amendment

 Except... he conveniently left out that the Bible passage was referring to Satan.




Matt Barber, the former policy director of the Concerned Women for America, said that Jesus supported the right to bear arms.

The only problem? The Bible passage he quotes isn’t about Jesus telling people to arm themselves – Jesus was presenting a parable about Satan.

Jesus was advocating for tank-tops, camisoles and t-shirts.

Allah insists you cover those arms.

Same cognitive error of reification we see the “out of money!” morons make all the time...

All Jesus is doing is trying to teach (thru figurative language in the form of a parable) the abstraction of inequality ....

In any case no figurative language there ...and it works..,.

It’s not a behavior modification program Marian...

They already had the Law to tell them what to do... when to do it, etc...

They didn’t need any behavior modification guidance via figurative language or literal language or any language... they already had the Law...
