I know! The motherfucker apparently thought speaking out against Samaritans and Gentiles was more much important.

Yeah. Because saying 'Hey guys, you know slavery? The thing that is okay according to the law you think my heavenly father sent me, is NOT okay!!'
Is the same as reciting the US constitution.
Furthermore: Your jesus said the exact opposite. Not one tittel or jota blabla.

It is. And I think it's disgusting.

So what? Wasn't that the fucking point of him coming to earth?

Yeah. He went from carpenter to ruler of the universe in less than 3 days.
