This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Thought that one always tied back to the whole "you shall know them by their fruits" thing.
As in those who talk nice but don't produce anything useful (like a fig tree that doesn't produce figs, just leaves) are not really doing what Jesus said. Don't be like the Pharisees hollering out in the streets, just love God and do good in the world.
There is a story in the Apocrypha (decanonized Bible books) where childhood Jesus turns another kid into a tree. I like to think it's the same tree.
Yes but it's still weird because it wasn't the right time of year for it to have fruit. The tree would have if Jesus hadnt been a dick.
Well then you're back to Ecclesiastes. Everything in its season etc.
Idk, I was just trying to put the best argument forward, but l'm not really a fan of the New Testament in part because of its inconsistency.
