The Jesus Reboot

   

The image of Christ commonly associated with my own
denomination,
chosen only for that reason.

   Whenever one tries to discuss the importance of religious liberty, these days, immediately people start hissing hate at you. “How dare you be a Christian with bigoted values? Your hate should not be legal!” Followed, inevitably, by charges like, “Jesus hung out with the worst kind of sinners, and judge not lest ye be judged!” What they are really saying is, “I want to be a good liberal, so I will reveal to you I never actually read the Bible.” Christians, however, have waited too long to push back against this sort of insanity, and we are now facing very real government imposed censure of our moral codes, because I know the left, and preventing the reinforcement of religious liberty and thought will not be where this ends. We saw where this religious intolerance ends at Auschwitz, the last time a leader declared, “the fairy tale is over, the parishioners will be made to dig their own graves.”  This, of course, is what Adolph Hitler said of Christians, once he decided they were no longer useful. The things he said of the Jewish people and religion, which is the father religion to modern day Christendom, is of course, even worse. Yes, I went to Godwin’s law, but that’s because I have not seen a time where the intensity of blind hatred of a religion has been so bad, except through the lens of history. Also, the eradication of Christianity is already very literally under way in the middle east, with ISIS rounding up and murdering local Christians by the thousands.
