Matthean Jesus is cut your balls off for god levels of wild.

I'm not sure one can just pick lines out of random Gospels as 'what Jesus said', the US got really weird with that a while back with a red letter 4 gospel meme thing going viral.

    That's literally how Christianity works. I don't know of any denomination that follows the entire Bible exactly. It's not even possible because the text is self-contradictory in places.

    Meme? I've got a red letter Bible from the 70s.

    Red letters bibles were meme'ing hard in the US before the 1970's but the 70's is where memetics pops up as a theory afair.

    A bit like apples were falling before Newton figured out it's because we live in a clockwork universe.
