Christian Conservatives Rattled After Learning Jesus Loved Everyone

https://lacrossetimes.news/home/christian-conservatives-rattled-after-learning-jesus-loved-everyone/

Scholars poured through the pages of the new testament looking for any indications of a ‘wink wink’ or even a ‘nudge nudge’ in reference to Jesus loving everyone, but have yet to find any.

Jesus did NOT love everyone, because he never existed.

(I had to chime in, and didn't want to disappoint. We ARE a contentious lot.)
