And Jesus never taught it. But you never would know it by looking at so many of his American followers. Which is why it confuzzles them when I tell them I follow Jesus, but I don’t do church, because church is generally full of people who worship wealth and power, men who think women should STFU and leaders who will cover up child sexual abuse with regularity.

I don’t claim to be perfect, and I sure as hell don’t have it right, but I do know that Jesus didn’t spend his time cozying up to wealth and power. If he did, we wouldn’t know him at all today because he would have been some stooge to Herod or Pilate or the chief temple priest.

I’m honestly a bit astonished the GOP hasn’t pushed a new Republican-Approved Bible that takes out the stuff they don’t want and shoehorns in lots of wealth-worship, pro-authoritarianism, and white supremacy. We’re at the point right now where most churches would welcome the change, unfortunately.
