Also pondering the -leaning aspect of my upbringing.

When you take the lyrics "would he devote that Sacred Head for such a worm as I?" into your very core as a 5-year-old, it takes A LOT to get shut of that unsightly baggage as an adult.

Even "Amazing Grace": "...how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me...."

Really? I was a child. A baby.

A wretch?

Reprobate & miscreant are some of the synonyms. I was to learn those as well.

And all of your "but loves you and died for you!" protests to the contrary simply are not sufficient for countering the insidious, pernicious programming you installed in her Core Self during her most malleable, most vulnerable season of life.

Fundamentalism isn't limited to conservative religion.
Fundamentalism can rear its ugly head in any arena, any set of beliefs, any type of nonbelief-in-deity, any political identity, any life season.

And my experience certainly is not unique.

Sometimes when we walk, we pass by this statue of Jesus at the Queen of Angels Church right off Welles Park in Lincoln Square. We often call him Bangra Jesus. Put on some Bangra music and look at the photo - ROFL

Have said it over and over, time after time: politics is the bane of Christianity. Politics is not a feature of heaven. The wolf in sheep's clothing today is a politician in a pastor's suit.

Wait.

A random artwork from my gallery:

"The Madonna with the Long Neck" — 2018

Due to the religious dogma of the time, Parmigianino was unable to express his full intentions in his version of The Madonna with the Long Neck. I've fixed it for him.

#FarRight #Arizona "#electionIntegrity" zealot, #AustinSmith, has based his entire identity on outrage over nonexistent #electionFraud. He wants a system where the electorate is comprised exclusively of white, #Christian, conservative men, just as #Jesus intended. So you might be surprised to learn that he's just been caught forging hundreds of signatures on his petition to run for state office.

Remember, my friends, that Americans having sex with intent of producing children kills more fertilized eggs than abortion. For every two children you bring into this world you kill at least one.

Your only ethical choice is to stop breeding. loves you.

A new BOOK in my Visions and Voice series! Celebrating Christian FAITH. If you believe in loving yourself and loving your neighbor, then this book is for you! If you are a hateful person that uses Christianity to persecute other people, you won't like this book. It's about love, peace, comfort and Jesus.

Will his sales bring in enough to cover his almost half-billion-dollar court damages, plus legal fees?"

If #Jesus came back today, #JamesComer and #GymJordan would subpoena him, and have him before their Congressional #impeachment committee tomorrow. The notion that they'd accept and embrace him is too absurd to even contemplate. Jesus, as described in their very own official #TrumpBible, is an unquestionable #liberal whose teachings are directly contrary to their professed beliefs. Jesus just doesn't understand #Christianity the way the #Republicans do.

I don't have any specifically Easter-themed music, but... #Jesus was apparently some kind of zombie; probably a lich (zombies that can do magic). So I suppose "The Inevitable Zombie Apocalypse" is a good themed tune for today. Have a listen and see if it doesn't put you in the #Easter spirit!

Easter means a lot to me. I know it's not everyone's holiday, but if you feel like I do about Easter and you have ever wondered if the story of Easter is for you-- don't let anyone tell you it's not.

I can't possibly apologize for all of the harm done in the name of a beautiful story. But, I think it's because of how fundamentally subversive "love thy neighbor" really is, if you take it seriously. So, the message is often poisoned at the source.

I woke up in the night wondering about the whole “on the third day he rose again” business. If he died on Friday, wouldn’t that make Monday the third day? At the risk of sounding like a Craig David song, wouldn’t he have chilled on Sunday?
