11. Sometimes even the son of god runs out of tears

Sadly, I think were there a Jesus, a preacher of love who eschewed material wealth, he would have long since turned away in disgust.

His words are already being spit on my many evangelicals who now voice their shock and contempt about a man who would preach meekness. He's "woke" say the worshippers of mammon. No, seriously, even their ministers have lamented about this publicly, shocked that so many of their "flocks" are really worshippers of violence and revenge who regard the man whom they consider to be the son of the living god to be weak.

Much of American christianity, I am afraid, has kicked Jesus to the curb and there are no samaritans among the "believers" willing or able to help get him to a hospital.
