If one more
person tells me to put Christ back in Christmas I am likely to take his or her
head off. How in the world can people live with their hypocrisy? How about
putting Christ back into Christianity first? The dominant political thinking in
this country now is to protect the rich, promote the rich, and give the rich
tax cuts. Seems to me Jesus had something to say about that. The dominant political thinking in this
country now promotes the end of health care for children and poor adults. Seems to me Christ had something to say about
that. The dominant political thinking in
this country supports robbing Social Security and Medicare so that the rich can
have tax cuts. Seems to me Christ had
something to say about that. The
dominant political thinking in this county now is to tolerate the abuse that
showers down on Blacks, women, Muslims, Hispanics, gay, transgender, etc. Seems
to me Christ had something to say about that. The dominant political thinking
in this county is to ban Muslims and Latinos from coming here. Seems to me
Christ had something to say about that. Meanwhile, the support of the dominant political
thinkers stands behind pedophiles, bigots, sexual assaulters, climate change
deniers and liars.
If there is a God he or she better wake up his or her
followers before they destroy not only this country but the late, great planet
earth.
Followers of
Christ appear to have shifted from an agenda of love, tolerance, support and
caring to an agenda of me first, anger, fear and bigotry. Any one wrestling with his or her faith
during this time of year has but to look at the followers of Jesus, watch what
they are doing and saying, to see what is in their hearts. It ain’t pretty. Give me an atheist who cares for the sick,
promotes the poorest among us, cares for those who are cast offs in our
society, and supports humans regardless of their physical characteristics or
belief systems over the so-called Christians I see today.
You want Christ
back in Christmas? Put him back in
Christianity first.
