I’m not religious anymore and I’m not making a defense of Christianity, but before all of this the Bible explains that when Jesus comes and starts teaching, he’s going to teach in parable (metaphor) so most of his teaching needs to be seen through that lens. So this should more properly be seen as a teaching saying to take your gifts (compassion, love, wisdom) out into the world and use them to become a better person. There’s also some deeper meaning here that usury was frowned upon at the time so this would have been a very provocative thing to use as a metaphor.
Of course the main way that people corrupt Christianity is by taking things literally, and if you do that you can take any meaning away you want. That’s how you get a branch that literally only exists to promote the institution of chattel slavery (Southern Baptist) along with pacifist, community-centric, anti-slavery Quakers. And how people are OK with driving BMWs to church and engaging in the crusades and thinking Trump was sent by God. It’s all in there if you want it to be, which makes it easy to exploit.

He also invented a vegan burrito called the Dilberito that was somewhat questionable
“As for Adams, he left the world of food behind, considering the Dilberito a failure, a lesson to be learned. Adams would later describe the nutritional value of the burrito as such: ‘Three bites of the Dilberito made you fart so hard your intestines formed a tail.’”

Ho Chi Minh appealed to the United States’ supposed values of freedom and self-determination when he basically straight up asked for the Americans’ help liberating Vietnam from the French. Plenty of alternate histories to go around if the US doesn’t guarantee shooting itself in the foot 100% of the time

It’s always been like this. Jeeps famous inline 6 that everyone raves about had the oil filter directly over the alternator so every time you change the oil you spill dirty oil all over the vehicle’s main electrical components. It’s like it was designed by monkeys and no owner has ever seen a Toyota

Side note, PBA has probably the coolest mascot in all of US colleges! The burrowing owl, an endangered owl that is not only native to Florida but lives on the campus! I know you know that, but for everyone else it’s worth knowing and looking up some pictures.

The other side of this term is that the banana is the largest herb; the banana tree is the tallest plant that doesn’t produce wood
Of course mixing up culinary and botany meanings deliberately is dumb and leads to people saying things like “a tomato is a fruit” and “a strawberry isn’t a berry” those people can go produce their own wood if you know what I mean
- Comment on Hegseth Says U.S. Troops Are Fighting for Jesus. The Pope Disagrees. 4 months ago:
What makes the Bible such a great tool for controlling the masses is that you can take out of it whatever message you want and it’ll be valid and defensible. While at times Jesus was straight up communist he also said
But now he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise a scrip; and he that hath not, let him sell his coat, and buy a sword.
That’s not even counting all the unhinged violence in the OT
