An actual Christian leader uses the term religionists to describe these awful people. They've joined a cruel club with a Christian name but embrace none of the philosophy.
In the 80s, the big thing from the found-Jesus-hogs was some quote about "stewardship." That allowed "stewarding" wealth which is, somehow, way different than owning more shit than you need. I was at a small gathering where a dickhead I really loathed was arguing the Bible doesn't require you to be generous. The nuns he was arguing with kept coming up with Bible passages to dispute him (of course, they were killing him), but the dickhead felt safe because he had his one or two passages where he and his type found what they were looking for.
This went on awhile. I was already irreligious, but I liked cold debate. I, not a Bible scholar or even possessed of a passing knowledge of it, interrupted them and they politely waited for what I had to say.
I know you have quotes and stuff from the Bible, but doesn't everything you (dickhead) claim go against the way Jesus lived and led and spoke?
What a stunning moment! The nuns pointed at me and said, "That's it! That's it!" Dickhead was silenced.
They were so tied up in quote wars, that they lost sight of the big picture.
Pardon the tldr story.
Goddamn you, Carton! Your slovenly ways and resemblance to an effeminate French noble have inflamed me to action!
We shall meet at the TexAgs parking lot and settle this like men. When I am done with you, even Dr. Manet will not be able to save you!
I suggest you train with Lord Liucci. You will not escape the cold point piercing your worthless, rotten heart, but maybe you'll be able to put up some sort of fight.
Weak man! We shall see.
