  • They really don’t know Jesus, at all.

    (I’m not religious, but I can read.)

    Like, Jesus had only one major commandment: Love Thy Neighbor.

    And Jesus did not command his followers to worship him. He commanded his followers to follow him by emulating him - the man who broke bread with harlots and tax collectors.

    Jesus didn’t command his followers to love their religion, or to love him; he command them to love their neighbors.

    Love Thy Neighbor applies even if thy neighbor is brown, poor, queer, lazy, radical, immigrant, or crazy, or whatever.

    One is commanded to feed the poor, house the traveler, and tend to the sick.

    Look, I don’t purport to be a Christian, because I know I don’t love all my neighbors. I fall faaaar short of all that. Sometimes I want to kick my neighbors in the dick. Nor do I believe in universal forgiveness or turning the other cheek. Nor am I very personally charitable. I do not ever house travelers nor feed the poor all that often. I do not live up to the Jesus standard, not even close.

    But I don’t preach at people about how to “live like Jesus,” either.

    Hypocrisy I cannot tolerate. And evangelicals are the worse. Read your own holy book, dipshits!
