holy balls

so i’m not all that religious. was confirmed christian at 16 and havent been back. i believe the distaste is mutual between the Man upstairs and myself so i’m chill with it. yet, i’m still fascinated by the blind faith of some and disgusting misuse of power by others that overwhelm the church itself.

this article illustrates growing issues in this nation. it’s only a commentary on “kingdom coming”, but this paragraph…

their Jesus is a muscular militarist who hates gays, is the first to see and condemn sin in others, and finds salvation not in poverty and charity but in building multi-million-dollar ministries, living high, and preaching that all problems are solved, all sins redeemed, all diseases cured (both physical and political) by simple belief in His name. This Jesus hates science, wants to use the power of the state to finance his ventures and punish his enemies, and wants to use the power of police, prisons, and courts to enforce his rigid view of everything from the role of women in society to the sanctity of the American flag.

… stood out. looks like it’s not just politicians and executives that ignore the very structure on which they gained their power.
