RE: Please Explain
Is the verse unclear? Do you not understand your orders, soldier?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Quote:The Parable of the Ten Minas
11 While they were listening to this, he went on to tell them a parable, because he was near Jerusalem and the people thought that the kingdom of God was going to appear at once. 12 He said: “A man of noble birth went to a distant country to have himself appointed king and then to return. 13 So he called ten of his servants and gave them ten minas.[a] ‘Put this money to work,’ he said, ‘until I come back.’
14 “But his subjects hated him and sent a delegation after him to say, ‘We don’t want this man to be our king.’
15 “He was made king, however, and returned home. Then he sent for the servants to whom he had given the money, in order to find out what they had gained with it.
16 “The first one came and said, ‘Sir, your mina has earned ten more.’
17 “‘Well done, my good servant!’ his master replied. ‘Because you have been trustworthy in a very small matter, take charge of ten cities.’
18 “The second came and said, ‘Sir, your mina has earned five more.’
19 “His master answered, ‘You take charge of five cities.’
20 “Then another servant came and said, ‘Sir, here is your mina; I have kept it laid away in a piece of cloth. 21 I was afraid of you, because you are a hard man. You take out what you did not put in and reap what you did not sow.’
22 “His master replied, ‘I will judge you by your own words, you wicked servant! You knew, did you, that I am a hard man, taking out what I did not put in, and reaping what I did not sow? 23 Why then didn’t you put my money on deposit, so that when I came back, I could have collected it with interest?’
24 “Then he said to those standing by, ‘Take his mina away from him and give it to the one who has ten minas.’
25 “‘Sir,’ they said, ‘he already has ten!’
26 “He replied, ‘I tell you that to everyone who has, more will be given, but as for the one who has nothing, even what they have will be taken away. 27 But those enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them—bring them here and kill them in front of me.’”

Ahh.. jesus is a condoner of the idea of "noble birth" .. What an asshole!
Because some family controlled the strings once means that his bloodline is more valuable than a commoner.
Fuck you jesus, and fuck your kings!

Jesus here is valuing a bully king. He does not speak of the king's unfairness or harshness. No, he talks shit about the man's slaves that only did as they were told.

Lastly jesus idolizes a king that ruthlessly murders those that question him which is the underlying theme of the speach.

Asshole jesus!
Find the cure for Fundementia!

RE: Please Explain
The inherent message of jesusism is "STFU, do what your told, the king is appointed by fucking god.  You'll get your reward in the 'next' life." 

It is the religion of slaves.

And yet now you can serve it with both fish and meat.  Christianity isn't your father's Oldsmobile.

'Twas an hour after the OP, when all through the site,
not a theist was stirring, not even a trite.
The atheists posts were there, typed with much care,
in hopes that the christians soon would be there.

There were no theists, knocking at the thread's door.
I will wait, wait, wait and wait some more,
For their apologetics that I have heard before.

RE: Please Explain
I'm sure some of them are poring through books of apologetics looking for excuses.

I see it as a commentary on modern times.

The guy who gets paid most is a white male.

The servant who makes half is a woman!

The servant who doesn't trust the fucker is a Mexican!

RE: Please Explain
It's a special kind of irony that most Christian's idea of what Jesus was like is a fairy tale about a character that is already a fairy tale.
Feel free to send me a private message.
