alt textquote by Kurt Vonnegut: “For some reason, the most vocal Christians among us never mention the Beatitudes (Matthew 5). But, often with tears in their eyes, they demand that the Ten Commandments be posted in public buildings. And of course, that’s Moses, not Jesus. I haven’t heard one of them demand that the Sermon on the Mount, the Beatitudes, be posted everywhere. “Blessed are the merciful” in a courtroom? “Blessed are the peacemakers” in the Pentagon? Give me a break!”

edit: fixed alt text

SomeoneElse,

I think performative christians would just latch onto these two and ignore the others: “blessed are those whose who hunger and thirst for righteousness…” and “blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake…” it’s probably not meant to mean zealots with a persecution complex, but that’s the way they’d spin it.

qarbone,

I get it but, even as a rhetorical, the nice Christians wouldn’t really be the ones making demands, would they?

Kidplayer_666,

And somehow they claim not to be Jews while saying they hate them

tronx4002,

I wonder what the reaction would be to swapping out the 10 commandment sculptures in public places with the beatitudes
