But we all know the religious cant help themselves. They'd travel across the galaxy to make their delusions your reality

Not sure I am reading the new Testament right but Jesus, quite frequently, did not sound terribly observent to the ruling class to me.

    Your mistake was actually reading the bible.

    You're not supposed to read it, you're supposed to let other people cherry-pick passages for you, which you can then selectively observe while conveniently ignoring all the incongruent parts.

    Ya silly.

    “Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.” ~Hebrews 13:17

    I've read it, it says that God selected Trump as President.

    "And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's." ~ Jesus, Mark 12:17

    The Bible says that the ruling class is ruling because God wills it, every ruler has been carefully selected by God. It says so repeatedly throughout the Old and New Testament.

    "Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you." ~Hebrews 13:17

    The Bible is pro oppression, and has been quoted to defend the ruling class for seventeen centuries or so. God says that only He can judge them, but not you.
