This poetgirl on Instagram says some off the wall shit.
Some of these old bitches have totally lost their mind and just spread misinformation.
This is more than mildly infuriating for me but I wasn’t quite sure where else to post this lol.

People don’t read. Paraphrasing:
Jesus (J): “Why would you call me ‘good’? Only the Father is good.”
Muhammed (M): “Our Lord has decreed mercy upon Himself, so to anyone who commits sin out of ignorance and then repents and amends, He is Forgiving, Merciful.”
J: “It’s easier* for a camel to go through the eye of the needle than it is for a rich man to enter Heaven.”
M: “Those who hoard gold and silver and don’t spend it in the cause of God, give them news of a painful retribution.”
J: “You have been told ‘do not murder, for whoever murders will be judged for it’, but I tell you anyone who is angry and insults their brother will be judged for it too.”
M: “The righteous are those who suppress their anger and pardon the people. God loves the good doers.”
I know you’re paraphrasing and probably from memory, but you have one inparticular completely backwards- It is EASIER for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter heaven. Meaning, of course, a camel cannot pass through the eye of a needle, and therefore a rich man will never get into heaven, because in order to get rich he must have been selfish and greedy, which is ungodly. (I’m a heathen, so idfk what I’m talking about, but I learned this proverb from my religious ex-partner, and I think it’s lovely)
100%! Thanks for the very important correction, my cat woke me up at 3 am and I started posting half asleep, lol (and you know exactly what the J-man was talking about! 😁).
Interesting fact: in… 2010-ish a Vatican historian priest released a book where he explained that Jesus was a jokester. A lot of his sermons in the Bible were haha funny for the people at the time.
Do you know what we call a dude traveling from city to city with an entourage making people laugh? :)
A comedian.
Humour is a sign of intelligence! And yes, the ‘camel’ is a play on words, as gamla in Aramaic means both rope and camel, and also a callback to Jewish oral tradition/Talmudic teachings where it’s an ‘elephant going through the eye of the needle’. 👍
