@ThePatientAnarchist True. There are way too many contradictions in the bible, but I do like his stance that capitalism shouldn't be on the steps of a religious space, which, christians today completely disregard as well.

@FoxyQueen I think economists would disagree with applying the term "capitalism" 2000 years ago. But certainly the Jerusalem temple was intertwined with the secular economy. If that is what Jesus was so dramatically objecting to, then yes, that is one of many ways in which his message fell on deaf ears as far as mainstream Christianity is concerned.

@ThePatientAnarchist I think it's okay to apply the Bible to modern times. Evangelicals do it constantly.

@Northwest But they'll be the first to ask "who made you god?" when you remind them of this.

@BritishFailedAesthetic evangelism is still not being a conscientious objector. It is providing info to someone and letting that person use god given free will to "come home". Not make it illegal if you aren't or won't be converted.

@FoxyQueen Concientious objection is another issue- from a Christian perspective not wrong but also not required- nothing wrong with serving in the military.
