Looks like even Jesus is a little too woke for todays MAGA crowd...

The editor of Christianity Today is warning that evangelical Christianity is moving too far to the right,
to the point that even Jesus's teachings are considered "liberal" and "weak" now.

Moore said Tuesday that multiple pastors have told him they would quote the Sermon on the Mount
when preaching and someone would come up after the service and ask, "Where did you get those liberal talking points?"

"What was alarming to me is that in most of these scenarios, when the pastor would say, 'I'm literally quoting Jesus Christ,' the response would not be,
'I apologize.' The response would be, 'That doesn't work anymore. That's weak,'' Moore said.

"When we get to the point where the teachings of Jesus himself are seen as subversive, weak and liberal, then we're in a crisis."

During an interview with Semafor last month, Moore warned that Trump posed "A unique threat, both to American institutions and to the church's witness."
He added that he had provided political and spiritual advice to candidates running against Trump in the 2024 GOP presidential primary.

Sorry Jesus, it's not you its them.

Decades ago someone (Stewart Brand maybe?) said that Christianity was a 'slave religion'. It arose from people under the thumb of an Imperial Rome. For two millennia it has been used by the powerful to control the masses. As has been the purpose of most religions.

At least New Testament Christianity had much that was hopeful and positive to offer. Now it is being turned again into a tool of the ruling class to control the weak minded, the MAGAs, the QAnoner's, etc.

Liberals: Forgive them, they know not what they do.

Also liberals: My arse forgive them, put Fat Orange Don in prison, orange jumpsuit time!

Me: I would like a picture of him in an orange jumpsuit with handcuffs, but I'm afraid he'll be wearing an ankle bracelet in Mar a Lago at the buffet table.

Jesus: Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth,

Maga: Friggin A! They'll be inheriting the earth after I cut 'em down with my AR 15 with tactical mounted laser
sights, barrel fed ammo, ranger top and an old tactical Armalite bottom.

I always wondered what Jesus would have thought of "Onward Christian Soldiers"

Or for that matter, Buddha, of his massive statues, and being worshipped in temples. He might have applauded the Taliban 😀
