"Jesus Was Against Guns"

By: Wes Messamore

I heard some talk from liberals over the weekend that Jesus was against guns.

Oh really?

Jesus was against guns?

The Founding Fathers didn't have modern rifles in their day, so those aren't covered by the Second Amendment, but Jesus Christ had an opinion about guns in the year 30!

lmao

And it just so happens to be the exact same opinion you have about them. Shocking!

Can you quote me some verses, Augustine?

Well here's what Jesus actually did have to say about virtue signaling:

"Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven." -Matthew 6:1 (NIV)

He also said to mind your business instead of trying to pick out the flaws with everyone else the way political propagandists do:

"Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?" -Matthew 7:3

Now although they didn't have guns back in those days (gun powder wouldn't be invented by Chinese ppl for another 900 years after Jesus died) –they did have swords.

And Jesus does talk about swords:

"But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don’t have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one." -Luke 22:36 (NIV)

So he doesn't seem to have a problem with people bearing arms for their self defense.

He even says sell your coat to buy a weapon.

It is better to be shivering cold with a sword in your hand, than warm and weak.

This is in the Bible liberals. Please look it up before commenting on Jesus' beliefs.

Frankly I think all of y'all could probably benefit by dusting off the Bible and reading.

Some of the most powerful shit ever written.

Obama keeps pushing the bipartisan religion of interventionism

Michael Scheuer is deadly accurate - foreign interventionism is a bipartisan religion (or disease, whichever you prefer). Too often, I believe, Americans think about Washington’s interventionism only as the actual physical intervention of U.S. military forces abroad in places where no U.S. interest is at risk. That activity certainly is intervention, but President Obama’s despicable decision last week to have his administration leak intelligence claiming that Israel has concluded an agreement with the government of Azerbaijan to allow its use of Azeri airfields for an air strike on Iran is just as much an unwarranted intervention by the United States government. Readers of this blog will know that I carry no brief for Israel, that I believe it is a state that is irrelevant to U.S. national interests, and one whose U.S.-citizen supporters are disloyal to America and involved in activities that compromise U.S. security and corrupt the U.S. political system. That said, Israel — l...

How Thorough a Brainwashing

Saw this on Facebook: Left this comment: It's more thorough of a wash job than that. They don't just believe they are not brainwashed, the question has never occurred to them and as long as they keep reading TIME and watching MTV, it's *impossible* for the question to occur to them. Oh brave new world, that has such people in it. EDIT: And one more thing-- don't ever stop considering what questions it is currently impossible to occur to you . This is what I've been thinking about a lot lately and I'm worried just how large and numerous my own blindspots are. The only solution is to be as intellectually curious as possible. To learn voraciously. To read things that challenge us. To read things that are hard for us to understand and then try to understand them. To expose ourselves to ideas far removed from our present culture and place on the timeline. Read old books. Read foreign books. Turn off the TV. You have already absorbed its biases and blindspots. ...

How To Gain More Twitter Followers

Earlier today, I wrote : "My goal is to write a book before the end of March. My goal is to spend no more than a week from start to publication, spending as much time as I need in order to get it done during that week. My goal is to give it away to you for free here on HumbleLibertarian.com. What's a goal you have? Something you may have been putting off for years? Something you could accomplish in one month if you were determined? If it's near-term enough of a goal, and specific enough of a goal, and you share it in the comments below, feel free to tell me how I can help you and I'll do whatever I can. If it's a libertarian / news / politics-related goal, my manner of help would be easy to determine. I could promote it, introduce you to someone via email, (etc.). If it's something apolitical like quit smoking cigarettes, start exercising, learn guitar, start a business, gain more Twitter followers, learn another language, eat a paleo diet, or...
