I don’t believe in NOT talking about an incident that’s fresh in the news — in fact, that’s when people SHOULD be talking about it. There is never a bad time to share ideas & discuss the issues which divide us in hopes that we can share common ground on the righteous path.

This is almost like a bad punchline, but when the 50 gay men in Orlando were killed by a radical Muslim on June 11, 2016, who did the Christians support? Neither — many of them say it was brought upon the gay men by God as punishment for their “choices”, as though they can choose to not like men and that doing so is unholy & worthy of a violent death, and that the Muslim killer was simply doing the devil’s work like all other Muslims do by rejecting Christ & killing people in cold blood in the name of Islam. Forget about the Christian abortion doctor killers for a moment like they do — Christians don’t think all life is sacred; only those lives that they care about that don’t speak out against them & their beliefs. If life were truly sacred to them, they wouldn’t support the death penalty, and if “family values” were important to them, they wouldn’t get divorced or commit adultery as so many of them. Not that they’re the only ones doing it, but if you listen to them, they say we (the collective “we”; you know — people who don’t think like they do) are the only ones who do that sort of thing. Funny how every time I hear about some sex scandal is usually always Republicans and/or Christian religious leaders.

I’m not theologian, but from what I’ve read of the alleged Jesus (note that there is no real evidence Jesus exists that you could use in court today; it’s all hearsay from 40 years after the alleged facts occurred — I have a nice blog entry on this already), he threw out the moneychangers from the temple, so he obviously doesn’t like money & wealth. He helped the poor & the sick incessantly, including those such as lepers who were outcast from society due to their sickness, so to think that he wouldn’t be a supporter of Medicaid or free health care or poor people is ludicrous. In other words, Jesus was a radical liberal leftwing nut. I also believe he would have peacefully tolerated & not punished those who didn’t believe in him or his ideals. I also know that he didn’t support the “eye-for-an-eye” death penalty as stated in the Sermon On The Mount in Matthew 5:38-39.
