This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Maybe. But I wouldn't know because I never voted for that idiot and I think evangelicals are almost always wrong.

All I did here was read the larger context. Jesus was known for relying heavily on symbolism, so if something doesn't fit the rest of the message, it means I'm likely missing something important in the symbolism. That's why I provided additional examples to show my thought process.

If Jesus wanted to start a literal war, why didn't his disciples gather an army? Because they understood his meaning.
