Wow. Every day I read the news, and it seems like every day there’s something that just makes me go, “Where the fuck am I?”, because THIS America…this current iteration of an otherwise pretty good idea, is NOT America. THIS America is not a beacon of liberty, but a bastion of bigotry. So called “conservatives” are really just paranoid, reactionary fools who cannot embrace change, even when it is necessary.
\nThe first amendment requires that religion must remain OUT of American politics, and yet a few dedicated and well funded zealots, persist in their quest to make America in THEIR own god’s image. A few so called Christians are so full of fear for the afterlife that they believe they have the right to KILL in order to protect their “values” from destruction.
\nWhen really, it’s their own fears that they should be battling. Fear that their repressive, judgemental views will be exposed, and that people will see that Jesus is not with them. They are not real Christians. Christians are supposed to be like Christ. So…What would Jesus do?
\nJesus was a social liberator who sided with the downtrodden. Jesus condemned the leadership of the temple and government for their sins of greed and oppression. Jesus healed the sick and spoke about treating each other well, without judgement or hatred. Jesus didn’t speak out against gays or foreigners. Jesus was not a hypocrite who bent the truth and manipulated the masses to ensure he remained in power…Jesus spoke the truth, and people followed.
\nSo they killed him. For protesting the status quo. For saying that the ones in power were NOT RIGHT. He was put to death by a corrupt regime.
\nMe…I’d rather try to live my life like Jesus, and speak out against corruption and the exploitation of the weak by the powerful. I’d rather try to be more like Jesus…well, except for the whole “on the cross experience”… than be a so-called “Christian”. Beware of the wolves in sheep’s clothing.<\/p>\n
