77. These miscreants

Mon Sep 2, 2019, 10:41 AM

Sep 2019

who use McChrist to support their prejudices have no excuse.

Their Savior never said that, "Thou shalt be stupid, willfully ignorant, complete and utter morons in my name!" and being as child to enter Heaven may just be too deep a metaphor for them to grasp, even, because it does not condone or suggest being a self-important, racist dumb ass for the Kingdom of God.

No, the teaching is to get ye wisdom and be wise as serpents and know what you are doing. I support that and I am not a Xtian, but they seem to denigrate, demean and distort their religion enough to make me think that, not only is it becoming more and more useless and irrelevant, it is teetering on an inflicted obsolescence. After a couple thousand years, the results are in.

So, yeah, forgive them for they know not what they do, and boy oh boy, they don't these days. I do like Buddy Jesus though
