American Evangelicals are getting mad at Jesus for being too woke

Give him 3 days, dude can wake up from anything.

Jesus reserved his anger for one thing: religious hypocrisy. Evangelicals are the Pharisees of today, praying loudly in public, stoning sinners when they themselves are guilty of the same sins, cozying up to the powerful in order to get their way politically, and on and on. That most of them are blind to this has been a never-ending source of amazement to me for decades.

Well, yeah…

The man was a minister. A Christian minister. With so much love in his heart.

I miss that guy.
Seriously.

I really really miss him.

I’ve been saying for years they seem to think the Pharisees are the good guys in the story. Hasn’t changed any.

Oh, the various right-wing novels and movies about the Anti-Christ involves him being followed by (usually explicitly) leftist Christians, rather ironically. I’ve read, from multiple sources, that the Christian left is the Christian right’s most hated group (but also one they try to ignore the existence of, whenever possible). For example, I understand they have right-wing Christian romances involving “saving” the most despicable people, such as actual Nazis, and other hated groups, like non-Christians, but left-wing Christians never appear in those stories - that, apparently, is too disturbing. I rather suspect it’s because right-wingers, on some level, recognize that the left is far closer to the Biblical Jesus than they are.

And @OWYAC You folks are reading my mind. When I saw Captain Kangaroo posted I thought about posting a Friendly Giant pic, decided not to. Then when I saw the Friendly Giant pic posted I thought to post just what you did, but didn’t. Lol.
