Jesus didn’t die for my sins.
Jesus was murdered because he stood up for the poor; killed because he championed the ‘unclean’; the immigrants; the needy.

Jesus was assassinated by the church for doing good and preaching peace, targeted because he threatened their profits and the status quo.

Jesus died because he spoke truth to power. Then his killers created a bunch of lies and rules in His Name, that they’ve used ever since to exploit the uneducated, rather than teach them to be free.

Merry Christmas. May the Truth actually set you free. Happy Solstice. May the rebirth begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
