So we have finally come to where Supply Side Jesus is no longer ironic

It’s telling that these people allegedly believe a person to literally be an all-wise God but they still think that they know better than him.

And what’s with “that doesn’t work anymore” as an excuse? Why doesn’t that line of reasoning apply to genital mutilation, female subservience to husbands, homophobia and all those other pre-Jesus positions that they still continue to justify based on their alleged faith?

The hypocrisy is transparent. They might as well come out and say that they’ll just believe whatever is convenient and expect other people to treat those beliefs as sacred. I might actually respect them a little if they did.

These sorts of questions not only expose a deep lack of biblical and theological knowledge in the modern flock, but they show how unforgiving people are becoming.

And follow [Trump] blindly they do, excusing all the many moral foibles the narcissistic autocrat clearly has.

It seems a long time ago when Christians confidently claimed the moral high ground. Nowadays, the “high ground” is wherever the “us” is standing, irrespective of the moral topography. There is no desire to welcome others into the flock; instead, fences are built to divide.

And the shepherd? Weak.

Forgotten.

The above pretty much sums up why I despise the church nowadays.

Christians without the Christ. Just a bunch of Ians

I’m all for laughing at the bigots, but in the centuries that Christianity had been co-opted as a state religion and as tool of power, we have lost sight of the fact that there are some real radical bomb shells in the New Testament.

Turning the other cheek is a popular one, but what do you think about that bit about a camel passing through the eye of the needle, or the whole table flipping at the merchants in the temple business?

Biblical Jesus was a radical anticapitalist and pacifist. We have been using his teachings to justify war and greed instead.
