I'm so tired of bullshit sold as truth in Christian conservative circles. An alternative reality is sold to the masses, and the sheep gleefully take the bait every time. I used to think that many of the faithful flocks were just stupid, but I was wrong. Most people aren't stupid, they're just willfully gullible, and that's way worse. For the longest time, Christians have abdicated rational thinking and followed pastors and charlatans over the edge. This is not the way of Jesus, but this is absolutely the way of religion. The ways of Jesus are simple. They are not the ways of the DNC or the RNC. They are the ways of love, compassion, and self-sacrifice. Jesus didn't want power; he wanted people to be transformed and changed by grace. Lies mask the truth. Lies keep us complacent. Lies keep us oblivious. Join us today as we talk about the lies being fed in Jesus' name by the RNC and other sycophants hell-bent on gaslighting the masses. Killers aren't heroes, the pandemic is real, black lives do matter and neither presidential candidate was chosen by God. It's true. Deal with it. All of this is a distraction from the call of Jesus for justice for the poor and marginalized. American Christianity seems like a spoiled brat wanting its own way, where Jesus tells us the only way is love, grace, and humility. Christianity tells us that we are judged not by our accomplishments, but by how the lowest in society are treated and cared for. Are we too lazy to see the truth, or is it easier to follow a hypothetical Jesus made in our own images? Come along for the ride as we skewer through life, culture, and spirituality in the face of a changing world. www.SnarkyFaith.com
