   It still gets me the Bible Jesus is a homeless socialist with brown skin, hangs out with 12 dudes and a Prostitute, tells rich people to pay their taxes and give their wealth to the poor, tells the religious leaders that they need to love everyone equally, gets a whip and goes hog on people using religion to sell stuff, and then straight up gets murdered for these beliefs. Yet somehow churches act like he's some kind of Conservative Haircut in khakis and a button up, who would support cutting welfare programs, and would preach Prosperity Gospel.

     @paninid sure, Arianism is cool and all, but you can't call Jesus "pantokrator" with those guys

     As far as I can determine, Arianism got outflanked in Europe by Clovis’ love for his wife, the luck of the Franks winning a battle, and the credit going to his Catholic wife during the #DarkAges.

     Oh yeah, the first 3 centuries of the faith system were way more interesting than anything that happened after: https://youtu.be/0cYs7IYN9qg?feature=shared

     The #Ineffable and the #nous are quirky that way.

     I don’t usually hold grudges, but maintain one - across millennia and half the world - for Athanasius and Cyril.

     @RickiTarr Clearly they need to rename their religion. The bible sections you listed are not the sections evangelicals quote from. So the only assumption, based upon their quoting habits, is they only read the Old Testament and the Acts of the Apostles, but skip the middle Jesus sections.
