From December 1-25, I’ll be sharing a quote and its truth from John Fugelsang’s Separation of Church and Hate: A Sane Person’s Guide to Taking Back the Bible from Fundamentalists, Fascists and Flock-Fleecing Frauds, the book Robert and I are currently and fascinatingly reading.
An odd Advent Calendar, of sorts.
If you’re interested, you can see the introduction to this new blog category here:
“Jesus was:
A peaceful, radically nonviolent revolutionary
Who wasn’t American and never spoke English
Who hung around lepers, hookers, and crooks
Never sought tax cuts for rich Nazarenes
Was anti-wealth and anti-death penalty
Anti-public prayer, too (Matthew 6:5)
Never asked lepers for a co-pay
Never called poor people ‘lazy’
Never even slightly antigay
Never mentioned abortion
Supported paying taxes
And was a long-haired
Community-organizing
Authority-questioning
Anti-slut-shaming
Brown-skinned
Palestinian
Unarmed
Homeless
Jew …
But only if you believe what’s actually in the Bible.”
