i am going to bet he would have fed the little boy. know why? because jesus was a compassionate being- and christians are not. the cult of christianity has sucked the life out of countless millions for millenia- and yet, because it is so deceptively easy to belong to and because of the abdication of personal responsibility, millions still keep right on believin’ in a being that does not exist. yeah, yeah, people need something to believe in, blah, blah….. you can believe in anything you want- doesn’t make it real. know what is real? children are abused and murdered every day in this country alone- in the name of christianity. watch jesus camp- or read about the christian sects in texas who married off their 12 year olds to the pedophile pastors- or read the papers about the priests who molested choir boys- or any of the countless families who have denied their children healthcare in the name of jesus.

but, betmo, these things happen even without the umbrella of christianity. yep. but apparently, this is a christian nation and christianity has been rammed down our secular throats for at least the last 8 years. the christian ‘morality’ has crashed into our political system and our legislature- the white house is attempting to get contraceptives classified as types of abortion. christianity isn’t benign in this country. what started out as a small minority group in ancient palestine has morphed into a billion dollar business industry complete with atms in the lobbies and ‘ez passes’ in the pews- wrapped up in right wing politics. make no mistake- this brand of christianity preys on scared people’s fear of change and hidden proclivities such as racism, misogyny, homophobia, etc. and it demands total allegiance and fealty- whether you are 2 years old or not. this brand of christianity is mobilizing militias and ‘armies of god’ because they have declared war on the rest of us.

continue to believe if you choose. just don’t be surprised as events unfold.
