i do believe in Jesus our saviour.

or does your Jesus require that people practice selective hate?

Did Jesus judge and condemn people?

He called us to love. He loved. He called us to be like Him.

The world that the right wing churches have created in God's name is an abomination. They ignore Jesus in favor of money and still think they can call themselves Christians. They have done more to destroy the church than any other enemy in the entire history of Christendom.

hard for even a mustard seed to sprout here.

Or perhaps all the Roundup in the soil has contaminated the seed so it cannot sprout.

Because yes, whether you believe or do not, this is the underlying message of the Christ story. It has been usurped and contaminated by the prosperity doctrine. The message to lift up and serve the poor and disenfranchised has been corrupted to demonize those without, and to suggest that God has bestowed their want on them.

That needs to end.

thanks for posting it.
