would probably be crucified by modern day Christians. How weird is that! I know this quote describes the Jesus in the gospels of pretty much any Bible out there but fundies seem to have lost something in the translation between the book in front of them and the part of their brain that is supposed to make sense of it. A message of love and compassion turned into a never-ending source for hatred of this world. They are lost in the web of dogma built up around the teachings. Really an unfortunate situation going on almost 2,000 years now.
