    No other political framework actively suggest loving, caring for and helping the anonymous fellow.

    What? Levant, 2000 years ago, Bible “1 John 3:17”

    They even number each sentence in the book to make it easy to find.

      Your Bible also says something along the lines of “chop off your hands if you jerk off.” There’s so much shit in Leviticus I could pull up which aren’t exactly “loving.”

      Edit: Leviticus 25:44-46 NLT

      “However, you may purchase male or female slaves from among the foreigners who live among you. You may also purchase the children of such resident foreigners, including those who have been born in your land. You may treat them as your property, passing them on to your children as a permanent inheritance. You may treat your slaves like this, but the people of Israel, your relatives, must never be treated this way.”

      Well the Bible is mythology, so putting any value into the words is just like putting value into the words of a fictional book.

        Words in fictional books have value.

      Apparently it didn’t do the job, as the Jesus fandom in the US are literally the ones killing social services.
