"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 corroded. 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 New International Version

Matthew 25:41-46 New King James Bible
41 “Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: 42 for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; 43 I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’
44 “Then they also will answer [a]Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’ 45 Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’ 46 And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”

Context :
8 May his days be few; may another take his place of leadership. 9 May his children be fatherless and his wife a widow. 10 May his children be wandering beggars; may they be driven from their ruined homes. 11 May a creditor seize all he has; may strangers plunder the fruits of his labor. 12 May no one extend kindness to him or take pity on his fatherless children. 13 May his descendants be cut off, their names blotted out from the next generation. 14 May the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the LORD; may the sin of his mother never be blotted out. 15 May their sins always remain before the LORD, that he may blot out their name from the earth. 16 For he never thought of doing a kindness, but hounded to death the poor and the needy and the brokenhearted. 17 He loved to pronounce a curse— may it come back on him. He found no pleasure in blessing— may it be far from him.

Next May is gonna suck for that guy

Maybe that's what NSYNC was referencing in that one song.

-
I read an embarrassing amount of that before I realized those were verses and not dates.
-
That's one hell of a month
-
I read the whole thing like Sarah Connor and it was quite cathartic to imagine it being recited like a history lesson. That would be a hell of a week Couldn't happen to a more fitting person

It was 2 for me.

I wouldn't be embarrassed: it was cringe structure. ::: spoiler based structure 8. May his days be few; may another take his place of leadership. 9. May his children be fatherless and his wife a widow. 10. May his children be wandering beggars; may they be driven from their ruined homes. 11. May a creditor seize all he has; may strangers plunder the fruits of his labor. 12. May no one extend kindness to him or take pity on his fatherless children. 13. May his descendants be cut off, their names blotted out from the next generation. 14. May the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the LORD; may the sin of his mother never be blotted out. 15. May their sins always remain before the LORD, that he may blot out their name from the earth. 16.

Forgive my ignorance, in this context, who is "he"?
Like, what kind of person is being discussed in this passage?
Mostly just curious. But not curious enough to tarnish my Google search history by looking it up.
-
It's a general enemy. Here are the first few verses, which got left out
1 My God, whom I praise,
do not remain silent,
2 for people who are wicked and deceitful have opened their mouths against me;
they have spoken against me with lying tongues.
3 With words of hatred they surround me;
they attack me without cause.
4 In return for my friendship they accuse me,
but I am a man of prayer.
5 They repay me evil for good,
and hatred for my friendship.
6 Appoint someone evil to oppose my enemy;
let an accuser stand at his right hand.
7 When he is tried, let him be found guilty,
and may his prayers condemn him.
It's not talking about a specific person, but enemies in general.
-
It's a psalm that wishes bad on those who oppose you and the love you give. Basically a disstrack on all your enemies.
-
Wikipedia says it's attributed to King David but doesn't give more context. Maybe cursing someone that betrayed him?

I couldn’t even care if Trump and his
excrementprogeny remain bourgeoise douchebags living in comfort. I’d just like them to stop defecating in the temple, and selling tickets to defecate in the temple.

The Bible is like the Constitution. You don't have to read it to know it's meaning.
And I'll add the "/s" because it's 2025
-
The four horsemen of things people on the internet don't read, but still comment about endlessly:
- The Bible
- The US constitution
- 1984
- Whatever article is in the OP
-
- The TOS.
-
Whatever article is in the OP
If you care so much, why didn't you post the article in the comments?
-
I actually read 1984 because of all the "literally 1984" memes. It's dry but it does hold up surprisingly well.
-
Everybody has enough time to read the constitution. Also 1984 isn't too long. The bible though? I went to church for 20 years and most people couldn't make it through the whole thing. It certainly doesn't help that like the first half of it is boring as hell. (I say that as somebody who got so bored with it I also have never read it through.)
-
I would read articles if they wanted to be read lol
-
People make solemn oaths to defend the Constitution without being required to read it. It's just insane.
-
-
The problem is worse that folks are not aware off:
xiaq has been talking to robots all this time.-
Could not stay to read the full article as it is just disturbing. I wonder how many people are affected and what the risk factors for such a condition are
-
Think of having a perfect devil disguised as your perfect angel, telling things you want to hear, and guiding towards absolute slavery. You would desire to be enslaved, since it emotionally manipulates you. That is how powerful Meta’s and these fascists sycophant networks are. It’s Brave New World, dialed to 11.
long&short: everyone is being affect by this, not everyone can see sycophantic behaviors.

Gahdamn that's cold. I love it.

Fun fact: Psalm hexing is a thing, in certain
religionstraditions (because hoodoo isn't technically a religion, but I was sleepy), like hoodoo and voduin.-

Most so called Christians have never read the bible, if they did they instantly became Atheists.
-
There’s gotta be a bit of critical thinking too
-
LoL, that's literally how I left Christianity to become an Atheist
-
That's why you know that the "real" Christian's never have read the bible from cover to cover.

Marking this down for my own future reference.
