re: #213 Targetpractice
They only have a use for Jesus as a martyr, because you can excuse all sorts of evil and immoral shit in the name of a martyr. And the whole “love and peace” business is seen as a way to get converts into the pews. But they really don’t care much for his actual teachings because it’s hard to justify Crusades and pogroms while preaching “Love thy neighbor.”
Got people a bit stirred up on an Episcopalian website I frequent because I said too many Christians would prefer Jesus bleeding on a cross or dead in their Bible than alive and walking among us, pissed off.
