I recently described why I think “woke” has become a vacuous word that means little more than “libtard” in modern parlance. It seems apropos, then, that Christianity Today also recently released a piece that saw the editor-in-chief claim (in a previous NPR interview) that evangelical Christianity is moving too far to the right.
It turns out that Jesus’s teachings are increasingly considered by many Christians to be too “liberal” and “weak.”
So we have finally come to where Supply Side Jesus is no longer ironic
Christians without the Christ. Just a bunch of Ians
When you go so far to the Right that you leave your own religion
It’s telling that these people allegedly believe a person to literally be an all-wise God but they still think that they know better than him.
And what’s with “that doesn’t work anymore” as an excuse? Why doesn’t that line of reasoning apply to genital mutilation, female subservience to husbands, homophobia and all those other pre-Jesus positions that they still continue to justify based on their alleged faith?
The hypocrisy is transparent. They might as well come out and say that they’ll just believe whatever is convenient and expect other people to treat those beliefs as sacred. I might actually respect them a little if they did.
These sorts of questions not only expose a deep lack of biblical and theological knowledge in the modern flock, but they show how unforgiving people are becoming.
And follow [Trump] blindly they do, excusing all the many moral foibles the narcissistic autocrat clearly has.
It seems a long time ago when Christians confidently claimed the moral high ground. Nowadays, the “high ground” is wherever the “us” is standing, irrespective of the moral topography. There is no desire to welcome others into the flock; instead, fences are built to divide.
And the shepherd? Weak.
Forgotten.
The above pretty much sums up why I despise the church nowadays.
I’m the least religious person ever. But aren’t you quoting exactly what the church is trying to argue against? My point being that your statement would be more accurate if you had said “this pretty much sums up why I despise church-goers nowadays”.
