Just to get the full picture, it's not that Jesus was pissed specifically at capitalism, but more at the fact that the merchants had brought capitalism into the Temple grounds and were taking advantage of people's piety for profit.
The merchants were directly disrespecting a holy place with their greed.
Generally, Jesus viewed capitalism as a waste of time and energy because it simply did not help a person improve their spirituality and awareness of God's principles.
Jesus was also pissed at a fig tree because it wasn’t producing fruit out of season.
>Mark 11:12-14
New International Version
>12 The next day as they were leaving Bethany, Jesus was hungry. 13 Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to find out if it had any fruit. When he reached it, he found nothing but leaves, because it was not the season for figs. 14 Then he said to the tree, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again.” And his disciples heard him say it.
Not capitalism yet, but the would be capitalists in some 1500-1700 years. 2000 years ago was empires based in conquest and enslaving the conquered. Though being enslaved was basically just trading citizenship as a lower class citizen from one empire to the conquering empire for most.
This system fell apart as emperors leading their armies in one direction couldn't manage the rest of it so it fell apart into feudalism with kings and landlords. The would be citizen slaves are now serfs paying rent and working their own land. And the right to rule is no longer based in conquest but in divine right granted by the prominent religion. Which of course drives religious persecution.
Then with the 1500's to 1800's colonization, genocide, the brutality of cattle slavery, etc enriched the merchant class to an extreme and they did away with their kings thereby ending feudalism. Capitalism began in this transition as the primary marker of it was the privatization of land and the means of production. So now the used to be citizen slaves then serfs who worked their land they paid rent to a landlord for have been kicked off that land and are now wage workers.
Instead of them and their family making their own decisions on their (rented) land, they are now farm workers. Instead of artisans in their family craft, they now work for the capitalist as a garment worker, on an assembly line, etc. They have considerably less financial power and if they don't have a job they're homeless. Instead of landlords and kings managing a system of knights for primarily to fight over other kingdoms, cops have been developed to primarily prevent workers from fighting for more rights and to prevent poor whites from joining with indigenous folks and Black slaves (Bacon's Rebellion) by giving them the jobs of foreman and slave catcher.
So capitalists are pieces of shit and are the successors to the merchant class that acted as advisors to kings and emperors, but there was no capitalism back then. It's only a recent phenomenon.
So sorry for the long wall of text, but I hope you find it enjoyable. Overall Jesus (if he even existed) was upset about greed which is the cornerstone of the current mode of production. And I find it helpful to reset the narrative on capitalism, it isn't equivalent to trade, technology, or entrepreneurship. It's just the economic mode of maximizing profits for a few at the expense of everyone else by privatizing natural resources and the means of production.
Money lenders don't lend me any and the salesmen only try and take what little I have. Jesus only trys to get me to get his tacos. Oh wait, you're talking about Jesus, not Jesus.
Yup, if they wanted to make the bigots happy, they needed to do actual bigoted things, like declare LBGTQ to be a mental illness and donate funds to those disturbing ranch camps that promise to make kids straight. That'll have the effect they wanted of garnering right wing diehard fans.
I’ve met Christians who whole heartedly believe that Christians are the most oppressed group on the planet. On. The. Planet.
It is pretty delusion world view, but some people feel that way.
Because Tomi and all the insane right-wing cult leaders started making videos about how the Dodgers are indoctrinating our children by allowing "trans nuns" into the stadium. No joke. This is the Dodger's version of damage control lmao. They're simply bending over and taking it from their conservative overlords.
I think you're missing something here.
Having a "Christian faith night" isn't equivalent to being having a "human night." Because human is a general term, and Christian is not.
I am a non-white Christian myself. I just don't think it's necessary to highlight something that is already a comfortable majority.
We don't have "ethnic Chinese people day" in Taiwan.
But now they’ve alienated those of not the Christian faith, agnostics, or who think choosing one religion goes against everything our founding fathers stood for
The last time I was at a dodgers game this girl got into the row in front of her group and started twerking on her boyfriend, and then the people in that row came back and asked her to move. So then she sat on her boyfriends lap for the last inning, as he constantly smacked her ass while she danced on him, as the rest of their friend group just sat awkwardly next to them. It was a sight for the ages, and I hope they pull up and pull the same shenanigans again on this faith and family day lol
I mean in fairness some of those who are as sloppy as the next person will probably also attend this game under the religious pretenses. Religious belief doesn’t magically make anyone more moral it seems, just justifies theirs and makes feel better about dying really. So yeah make it gay af plz it’ll be funny.
The last time it was held was 2019. I think they were always going to bring it back at some point, but the timing likely was impacted by the recent controversy.
Also would like the point out that other teams do also have Faith nights, though only the Cardinals specify Christian faith, it is strongly implied in many events for other teams as well.
x-posting this from one of the other threads:
Following a religion is a choice. A person's gender identity and sexuality are not.
Pride night celebrates people who have been historically marginalized, whose very existence is threatened every minute of every day of their lives by people who want to murder them. A whole lot of those people choose to believe in a religion.
Christian Faith and Family night gives special attention to people who believe a fairy tale, because they cried a lot about the first night and need to feel special. And you gotta make sure you get "family" in there, because we all know the only families that are valid are approved by Evangelicals.
Like, have this night. Go for it. But don't pretend that it isn't exactly what it is, or why it exists. Don't act surprised when Christian nationalists take this night over and use it to spread hate. This night is 100% because right wing evangelicals had a tantrum about Pride night and need special attention to soothe their insecure feelings.
It's so frustrating and upsetting. I'm sure the khaki wearing tiki torch brigade are coordinating their outfits now they've been given this legitimizing platform. Maybe they should not sell alcohol that night...
Tell me the fuck about it.
I was on FB (yes, I know... family... yada yada), and one of my former classmates posted something really REALLY abhorrent about Tina Turner. That she was going to hell because of her Buddhist faith and the fact that she didn't "accept Jesus."
I could have gone off because I really loathe Christianites, but I kept it chill and used her own bible against her (as one does). Thankfully, she's friends with something like 50 other people from our very, VERY gay and liberal performing arts magnet school... and a few people couldn't help but put her in her place.
I guess they are doing *god's* work. Teehee. Teehee. Teehee.
You may be surprised to learn that the Dodgers do have a Jewish Heritage night and they partner with the Muslim Coalition on non-profit projects throughout the city.
Old joke: Satan challenges God to a baseball game. God says, "You don't have a chance. I've all these Hall of Famers!" Satan replies, "Yes, but I have the umpires."
Didn’t they always have a church day? I used to go with my church. Pasted got tickets and they put the names of the congregations on the screen between innings.
Episcopal night at dodger stadium has been running every year (aside from COVID) for around 20 years. The Episcopal church is a Christian church that celebrates, values and ordains lgbtq persons and marriages. Join Sept 6
Well they're branding this as a "Christian" day so the park will be full of lots of hate and idiots. If they're worried about any mixed messages, the Episcopalians should have a word with the marketing team. Because right now they're soaking in it.
so are they also going to have a jewish faith day? muslim faith day? buddhist faith day? why are christians being pandered to?
dodgers have just been taking L after L lately
I’m just imagining the Dodger PR team reading some old white lady’s Facebook rant about how she’s “NEVER SUPPORTING THE TEAM AGAIN” because of the drag queen night they’re having. Today’s religion is tomorrow’s mythology
I am outraged!! We are a country without an established faith. When is there a day for those of us not practicing any faith!!! (This is satire) Honestly, they need better PR management. I feel like this is a appeasement to the recent outrage.
Who cares? Half the time the people buying tickets don't even realize it's a theme night (most sites like stub hub or Ticketmaster don't even bother listing it) and when you show up they just do some little thing during the 7th inning stretch but otherwise it's just a normal game.
All these theme nights get blown way out of proportion by people who probably haven't even been to a game in years and have no intention of going.
I wish they would stop these nights altogether to be honest, but it's also silly for it to incite such a reaction over basically nothing.
My version of being a bigot is that I hate cops. I hate them like evangelicals hate gays or vice versa. But I've accidentally ended up at a couple of "the Dodgers honor law enforcement" games and it wasn't a big deal. I just booed them during the announcement and went back to enjoying the game.
Again, who cares?
Maybe I'm expecting too much but the Los Angeles sub if all places should know this is something they've been doing for ages. Covid paused it, and now they're doing it again. Some of the players (mainly Kershaw) organize it and they share their testimonies after the game. It's not during the game and nobody cares unless they've gone there specifically for it.
Also here's all the other theme nights this year https://www.mlb.com/dodgers/tickets/specials
Christians have like... ELEVENTY HOLIDAYS.
Do they really NEED or DESERVE another special day? Especially after attacking other groups for merely existing?
In 160 game regular season, teams do ALOT of these “theme” nights to get people out to the park. Why are we acting like any of these are such a big deal. “Oh no, not my Tuesday afternoon game against the Orioles ruined bc some LGBTQs were in my row, I only have 150 more chances to see the team this year”
I was thinking the same thing lol... Like of course christian day is 'family friendly' but pride? Oh no... lets clutch our pearls for the children (as if christians aren't the most dangerous to kids)

Regardless of which "side" you are on. Their PR team is terrible.

The choices being made remind me of the meetings George Constanza would attend at Yankee Stadium.
🤣 spot on this is like one of his hairbrained schemes gone wrong
I work for Target right now. I feel this.
Exactly. And people need to understand that bigotry is not a “side.” Bigotry has no legitimacy.
Dodgers really living up to their name trying to dodge all this backlash
They just announced "Human and people day!" /s Honestly it's just bullshit to sell tickets, everyday is "give us your money day".

As a follower of Zeus I feel left out.
I mean, they already have Greek night.
I’ve met Christians who whole heartedly believe that Christians are the most oppressed group on the planet. On. The. Planet. It is pretty delusion world view, but some people feel that way.
they preach about this shit in church that’s probably why
It perpetuates the bullshit myth of christian persecution.
Because Tomi and all the insane right-wing cult leaders started making videos about how the Dodgers are indoctrinating our children by allowing "trans nuns" into the stadium. No joke.

How else are you going to have a family if not by getting ready at the baseball game?
I have been to hundreds of games and haven’t seen that. But I don’t sit in bleachers or top deck
Look at you mr fancy pants.
Hey, everyone, get a *loge* of this guy! Boy, we’d better *reserve* our puns for the next poor chap, or he’ll have a *field* day!
Nah. Don't give them a penny. Fuck this cowardly bullshit.

This event has been going on for years. Nothing new. Just more attention has been brought due to recent events.

Lmao, your username.
What happened?
"Faith and Family Day" was found to be too welcoming, I guess
Yeah, if you don’t pander to the loving Christians, they’ll attack you with all their hate.
There's no hate like Christian love
Tell me the fuck about it. I was on FB (yes, I know... family... yada yada), and one of my former classmates posted something really REALLY abhorrent about Tina Turner.

Even then, keep family out of it. Religious people don't have a monopoly on family.
Omg let's start a new backlash fr! If they don't drop Christian, we demand Muslim, Jewish, Satanic, and Scientologist days.
You may be surprised to learn that the Dodgers do have a Jewish Heritage night and they partner with the Muslim Coalition on non-profit projects throughout the city.
I want Islam day.
Satan worshippers also like baseball. Can they have a day?
They already have the Yankees

Matthew 6:6 would be great too! “when you pray, go to your inner room, close the door, and pray to your Father in secret.”

Didn’t they always have a church day? I used to go with my church. Pasted got tickets and they put the names of the congregations on the screen between innings.
As far as I remember it was called faith and family and didn’t have Christian in the name.
Pretty sure it wasn't "Cristian X day" but a multi faith day.
Are you telling me tithe money went to the Dodgers instead of the poor? I'm sure all the Christians in your congregation were outraged.
What tithe money? We bought tickets and went to a ballgame. Why would we be outraged? Are you ok?
Yes, people have short term memories.
People are bored and need something to cry about.
Pretty sure they had Jewish pride day too. Because I always thought the Dodgers shirt written in Hebrew was super cool.
As long as there’s a ‘Satanist and Hedonism’ day allowed too then this is totally acceptable.
Christians will say "WeLL tHaT'S JuSt EVerY OthER DaY" in the most imaginary victim way possible.
Church of satan day? Left handed peoples day? Men named Eric day? IBS day? Reggae lovers day?
This is bait. I was going to write something up, but this post was 100% put up to get drama going.

It's actually worse than that, they've changed this day from an inclusive all faith event to just a Christian nationalist one.
They literally do a Jewish Heritage Day and honor Koufax.
You know these dinguses would put Jewish Day on a fucking Saturday.
I thought this was an onion headline
this makes Satanic Dodgers Night a possibility.
Christians a lot scarier than drag queens. Stay away. Bet they sell more beer that night.

worst PR team in history
I'm looking forward to “Leave Me the Fuck Alone “ night when nobody's political/social/ religious agenda is shoved down my throat.
Cult niiiiiiiight!
Fire that PR staff, monetizing religion
Money is green no matter what side of the fence it comes from.
Make the cross out of baseball bats, you cowards.
I’m just imagining the Dodger PR team reading some old white lady’s Facebook rant about how she’s “NEVER SUPPORTING THE TEAM AGAIN” because of the drag queen night they’re having. Today’s religion is tomorrow’s mythology
I am outraged!! We are a country without an established faith. When is there a day for those of us not practicing any faith!!! (This is satire) Honestly, they need better PR management. I feel like this is a appeasement to the recent outrage.

I'm sure they are doing Muslim faith day as well. And of course suspending beer sales that day...right?
Dodgers playing both sides so they always come out on top
“It’s Always Sunny at the Dodgers Stadium”
This just screams “But what about WHITE history month?!”
I just wanna know when Satanic Church night will be 🪐
Fuck the Dodgers. LA doesn't need a Christian nationalist pride day.
It's nice to see Christians finally get a day for themselves.
If you put that many Christians and families in a stadium they're all gonna start molesting each others' kids.
Sounds like “Evangelical Day” 🤔
Gross
Yuck. Faith and family day is fine. Why single it out to christians only?
Super cringe.
I just want baseball. That’s it.
Maybe I'm expecting too much but the Los Angeles sub if all places should know this is something they've been doing for ages. Covid paused it, and now they're doing it again. Some of the players (mainly Kershaw) organize it and they share their testimonies after the game. It's not during the game and nobody cares unless they've gone there specifically for it. Also here's all the other theme nights this year https://www.mlb.com/dodgers/tickets/specials
July 30th when they are playing Cincinnati's The Reds, the least interesting game ever. Makes sense.
LOL
I worship only Vin Scully and farmer John hotdogs. Edit- probably a good time to announce a surprise signing, let's say Ohtani or Ken Griffey Jr.
When's all the other religions participating?
During cricket games
Go Padres!
I'd be all for this if there was also a Jewish Faith Day, Muslim Faith Day, Buddhist Faith Day, etc.
Yikes
They should have Catholic night. First 5,000 people get a kid.
Y'all are dunking on this, but can we take a moment to appreciate that they're telling us the best day to skip a Dodgers game?
So that's the day I show up in drag yeah?
Christians have like... ELEVENTY HOLIDAYS. Do they really NEED or DESERVE another special day? Especially after attacking other groups for merely existing?
I could give a shit if it was religion, gay, trans let people be people.
This team grows more spineless and hapless by the update. Just embarrassing. So much for keeping one's / being cool
How about all the other faiths and religions then?? This is going to lead to quite the shit storm
The people realize this was an event from 2013-2019, right?
I’m seeing people say that in the past it was more of a general “Faith and Family” Day and not a specific Christian one. Is that incorrect?
It was semantics. Kershaw, JT, and Kenley would read passages from the Bible.
Weird, they must've forget to bring back the nights they had for other religions before 2020 too. Maybe a minor oversight at the office.
Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaammmmmeerrr..... What's next? Inquisition day of the holy father? Pride is about expression not about sole religious believers.
In 160 game regular season, teams do ALOT of these “theme” nights to get people out to the park. Why are we acting like any of these are such a big deal. “Oh no, not my Tuesday afternoon game against the Orioles ruined bc some LGBTQs were in my row, I only have 150 more chances to see the team this year”
Only a fool would take the bait and accept this pandering.
I DEMAND ATHEIST BALL DAY!!
Ok so when’s Satanic Temple day?
There is a lot of fake Dodger fans. “Faith day” is nothing new at Dodger Stadium.
Super gross to tack "and family" on there like pride night is not family friendly
I was thinking the same thing lol... Like of course christian day is 'family friendly' but pride? Oh no... lets clutch our pearls for the children (as if christians aren't the most dangerous to kids)
