Matthew 21:12-13
Jesus at the Temple
12 Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves.
13 “It is written,” he said to them, “‘My house will be called a house of prayer,’ but you are making it ‘a den of robbers.’”
It is often said that my chums in the USA don't understand irony. I felt that was a little harsh as the comedic writings from the USA are usually excellent, however I think I have found proof that I am wrong and that in the USA, at least amongst the Christian brigade, there is indeed no understanding of ironic comedy.
SteemChurch, a pseudo church built within a cryptocurrency blockchain. This is just hysterical! Not only does it fly in the face of the principles that their own deity of choice preached, but it manages to be exclusive to one religion only. You would be unlikely to find Islamic faith following suit as there are strict rules on usury which means that a similar setup would probably conflict with Islam. Simply put this nonsense does not belong here.
I've come across this before - the Christians feel that it is their duty to "spread the word" through whatever medium they can, but surely this is a step too far? It is ugly, exclusionary and distasteful.
The only redeeming feature here is that I find is bloody funny.
