While in total agreement with the author of The masquerade of "evangelical Christians", is it written anywhere that Jesus called himself a Christian? Wasn’t the 17th century African spiritual leader and advocate for Congolese unity in the face of Christian colonizers, Kimpa Vita, burned at the stake by order of “the Church”?
Did not the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. say, “11 am Sunday morning is the most segregated hour”?
Didn’t the drafters of the U. S. Constitution profess “separation of Church and State? Is history trying to tell us something?
We are a loving people. Why do we persist in giving away our power of love? I’m certainly not the brightest bulb in the pack, but is that what Jesus taught?
My father was a Christian minister who taught me to question everything.
I imagine Jesus, like the heterosexual man whose name was used without his knowledge in the recent LGBTQ Supreme Court case, wondering how his good name has been hijacked by colonialists who killed and tortured millions in his name.
