An inversion of morality occurs when the weak, the poor, the meek, the oppressed and the wretched are virtuous and blessed by God while the strong, the wealthy, the noble and the powerful are the immoral and damned by the vengeful almighty Yahweh for eternity.

inversion of morality
Let me quote from the Magnificat (Luke 1:4655) for you:
"And His mercy is on those who fear Him
from generation to generation.
He has shown strength with his arm;
He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
He has cast down the mighty from their thrones
and has exalted the lowly.
He has filled the hungry with good things,
and the rich He has sent empty away."
Ok?
Inversion of morality? These idiots abuse language to the point where words cease to mean things.
I wonder how this paragon of moral virtue would feel if his dreams were to come true; he grows old, and men younger and stronger than himself take everything he owns so that all is right in the world again.
I'm growing more and more convinced that page has five hard-core members whereas everyone else shows up either to fling poo or to watch the spectacle.
You sound like Andy Schaftafly & his 'Conservative Bible Project'.
...but at least we know that Donald Fart is fucked, then. [/Camels & Needles]
Read. The. Bible.
"The first shall be last, the last shall be first."
"The Meek shall inherit the earth."
"What you have done to the least of these, you have done to me."
Some commenters have expressed bewilderment at this quote. It's from a wiki based on the work of Roosh, a pick-up artist and would-be alt-rightist, and unlike (for example) Conservapedia it is therefore not nominally Christian. At a guess I would say they probably prefer Ayn Rand to the Bible.
Let's see here...*sniff*... a good dose of social darwinism... *sniff, sniff"... combined with lack of any knowledge of the bible... *sniff*... a breeze of arrogance believing yourself to be at the top... and the rotten stench of objectivism as well as contempt for the weaker elements of society. You should probably abstain from drinking any of that and directly poor it down the drain. Otherwise it could have the nasty side-effect of making you look like a complete sociopath.
Let's face it, the strong and the wealthy are frequently the immoral. I seem to remember "treasures in heaven", not in this world. I'm not sure what's so damn noble about them. The "immorality vs virtue" question doesn't really have any connection to strength or wealth.
Someone either didn't read their Book, or is throwing it out the window in favor of their own self-aggrandizement.
I'm not sure where this is coming from. Any ideas?
EDIT: Ah. Randians. Never mind, carry on.
You mean like the Bible says it should be?
Matthew 5:5
Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
Mark 10:25
It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
Matthew 25:35
For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in.
Are you saying God/Jesus has an inverted morality?
Apparently, if you worship Ayn Rand...
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
