50 reasons to be ashamed (and not a fan) of Jesus
There's a new effort in the UK called Not Ashamed and a similar one in the United States called Not a Fan.
Both groups encourage Christians to show that they aren't ashamed of Jesus (no matter how badly he behaved in the gospels) by being not just fans, but fanatics.
But every believer should be ashamed of Jesus and no one should be his fan. It's time for us all to defriend him.
Here are some reasons to be ashamed (and not a fan) of Jesus.
He told his followers to hate their families.
If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children,and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. Luke 14:26
He came to break apart families.
I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. And a man's foes shall be they of his own household. Matthew 10:35-36
The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. Luke 12:51-53
He insisted that his followers love him more than anyone else (including their families).
He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. Matthew 10:37
He encouraged people to abandon their home and family for his name's sake.
And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life. Matthew 19:29, Mark 10:29-30, Luke 18:29-30
He was rude to his own family.
Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee. But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren? And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! Matthew 12: 47-49, Mark 3:31-34, Luke 8:20-21
He was dismissive of other people's feelings toward their families.
And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead. Matthew 8:21-22, Luke 9:59-62
He discouraged marriage.
They which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage. Luke 20:35
He was a hypocrite.
He told his followers not to call anyone a fool.
Whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. Matthew 5:22
Yet he often called his critics and disciples fools.
Ye fools and blind. Matthew 23:17, 19
Ye fools. Luke 11:40
O fools, and slow of heart to believe. Luke 24:25
He encouraged his followers to mutilate themselves to avoid hell.
Whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out ... And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. Matthew 5:28-30
If thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire. And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire. Matthew 18:8-9
And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off ... And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off ... And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. Mark 9:43-48
He encouraged men to castrate themselves.
There are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it. Matthew 19:12

Re: 50 reasons to be ashamed of (and not a fan) of Jesus.
I have one reason not to be ashamed I don't think the Biblical Jesus existed any more than Robin Hood did.
But yes I guess, I am more ashamed of Christians though, especially fundies.

I don't blame mythical Jesus, or anyone who inspired the stories. I blame Paul. The gay misogynistic religion inventor.

I don't blame Paul he made it clear who his diatribes were aimed at by adding to the Corinthians or Romans, and then when it was to everyone made great care to quote Jebus. I blame the Church for taking that clear message to mean he was a prophet, and speaking to everyone the whole time through convenience and hypocrisy. Don't blame Paul as misguided as he was he was talking to a small congregation and he made that clear. The Church are speaking to millions and abusing every trick in the religious book or not to lie and always have been, just so they can be the one true faith.Tero wrote:I don't blame mythical Jesus, or anyone who inspired the stories.

If God really existed thou he would of made his message clear not subject to the whims of lunatics and morons and hence the cause of silly conflict.

Wrong. Blame the Joos - it wuz them who invented this "messiah is coming" crap that led up to every scammer from Jeebus to Benny Hinn.Tero wrote:I don't blame mythical Jesus, or anyone who inspired the stories. I blame Paul. The gay misogynistic religion inventor.

And that's kind of unfair as they don't think he's turned up yet and the Pharisee did eventually succeed in having Jesus crucified.
The criteria for the Jewish Messiah are way steeper, the temple in Jerusalem has to be rebuilt, which it was in the time of Jesus, but also he has to preach there and offer sacrifice (animal and grain etc) and he has to bring about world peace. Which means the Jewish one when it shows up wont cause massive problems by creating sectarian violence at least. And lets face it if some guy brought about world peace I'd believe he was The Messiah, that's seriously way better than the bread and fish trick.
Note that Christians don't even follow all the edicts in his Letters to Romans and Corinthians, conveniently the ones where they don't suddenly have a relevance are ignored and others which were always pretty much ignored until now are now highlighted and iterated in pure evil marker. Two I can think of off the top of my head, are women leaving their hair uncovered and talking in church. Only the men were allowed to, because presumably the lord doesn't want to hear about your hair and whatever shit happened that morning to x.
