Angry tumblr post..

post by batteredshoes:

Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming on you. Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes. Your gold and silver are cor- roded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days. Look! The wages you failed to pay the workers who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty. You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter. You have condemned and murdered the innocent one, who was not opposing you.- James 5:1-6

At first I thought this was an angry Tumblr post but then it turned out to be the Literal Bible and it got 1000x better

My head canon says that televangelists like Kenneth Copeland have this quote mounted on their wall.

It's a nice affirmation to return home to, after a long day of grifting their congregation.
- Deleted to post under appropriate commenter.
- If only, but that would require levels of self awareness (never mind empathy for those they fuck over) which they could never possess..
  
  They’re self-aware, they just dgaf. Charlatans, every last one of them.
James 5:4 is the cornerstone of something called "Sins that Cry to the Heavens for Vengeance"

- TIL
  Unfortunately it's not in the best company by the looks of it
That's just desperate wishful thinking. Why wait for some invisible being (that's also just a product of wishful thinking) to bring justice in the afterlife when we all have perfectly good hands and feet? I'm not content in telling myself bezos will rot in hell with his clothes eaten my moths. I want to bring him to justice and redistribute his wealth now.
- Its about using the bible against people who try and use religion to justify/defend billionaires.
  
  It is? How can you tell?
- Another one misses the point..
  
  Cryptic comments will surely help people to see your point.
Checkmate, c/Atheist
- And.. A third misses the point.
1: gold doesn’t corrode unless in the presence of strong acids. 2: the Bible isn’t a reliable source for much of anything.
- Lmfao way to miss the point
