Some call me Jesus …
"Lately it has come to my attention that I have been swiftboated by a gang of lowly sinners who march under the banner of the Christian Right. They have obfuscated my teachings and associated my name with the terrible sins of war profiteering, torture, and the dropping of bombs on innocents and children." [→ READ ]
I’ve tried to convey this well, again and again here over the years (for example), but nobody conveys Jesus’ point of view (as revealed in scripture) better than OPOL does today, imagining what Jesus is saying at this very moment.
What ever made any of you think I was a rightwinger or would endorse or approve of anything the rightwingers do, say, or believe? …
I am not an advocate of war … not even the ‘good’ ones. If you folks would follow my most basic teachings, there’d never be another one. …
Somehow I feel like you guys are not paying attention. Despite my legion of ‘followers’ around the world, an estimated one billion people in the world suffer from hunger and malnutrition. About 24,000 people die every day from hunger or hunger-related causes. Three-fourths of the deaths are children under the age of five. While little children are starving in droves, you morons are blowing each other up with rockets and bombs!
The comment topics are worthy continuations on the theme, revealing (for example, on cheap grace) and bearing deep truths (for example, Bono’s quote that “God dwells in cardboard boxes”).
Thanks, OPOL and commenters.
