Just Ignore What He Taught...

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

Peace is coming. Watch and wait for it!

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One,

On a good day, I see the sky.
On a good day, I see trees.
On a good day, I hear birds.
On a good day, I feel the sun’s warmth.
On a good day, I smell flowers.
On a good day, I taste flavors of food.
On a good day, I touch a loved one.
This day will be great!
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

“So, Judas, you think the ‘love your enemies’ part went over the top?”

[A lot of Christians seem to agree. But He never said this.]

D. Blog: “Christian” Politicians

A “Christian” president turns “do unto others as you would have them do unto you” into “do unto others before they can do unto you.”

A “Christian” presidential candidate runs a campaign that circulates slanderous attacks about another “Christian” candidate.

A “Christian” vice presidential candidate, virtually unknown before her selection, questions whether we know enough about the other party’s presidential nominee who has been in the national media spotlight for several years. This “Christian” has also used her office to conduct a family vendetta against an employee, then lies about the indings of the committee that investigated her abuse of power.

Since so many other “Christians” seem to support these politicians who ignore Jesus’ comments like “love one another as I have loved you,” being “Christian” must not have anything to do with living according to Jesus’ life and teachings.

I think Jesus must be embarrassed…
