Matthew 5 and 6 are almost entirely a good guide on how to live, and the literal exact opposite of how conservatives live. Starting from 5:21-22, Jesus says murder bad (obviously), but so is getting angry at fellow disciples. So much as calling someone a “fool” puts you at risk of the fires of Hell. 5:27-30 says adultery bad (obviously) but so is simply being lustful.Jesus says if you can’t control your eyes, gouge em out. If you can’t control your hands, cut em off. Jesus says divorce is equivalent to adultery. 33-37 say not to swear oaths, which I don’t reay care about but I think it’s funny that every christian politician swears on a bible, which Jesus literally says not to do. 38-42 is interesting; Jesus says that not only is “an eye for an eye” wrong, but that if someone wrongs you, you shouldn’t retaliate at all. If someone asks for your shirt, you give them your coat as well. I like 5:42 the best:
