There comes a time when you have to wonder if Jesus would be happy seeing his picture up on billboards. Is that the kind of person that you signed on to worship when you first heard the Good news? Did you want that rock star G-d head? Cause Pan is all up for that. Go meet him. The audacity of the Christian right to take over the internets yesterday and scream about Google honoring Cesar Chavez has made me want to Hulk out more than a couple of times.
Chavez, a man who lived a Christ-like life without all the religious dogma, worked for the poor, the needy, the hungry and the abused. How about the right wing Christian fan base of Christ...because that is all you people are: a fan base; do a little leg work. How about when someone does something Christ-like you acknowledge it. I don't think Jesus would be jealous.
Your incessant need to splatter Jesus' face on every tree, sign, and lake dinghy is becoming about as tacky as your televangelists. Real people who have real relationships don't go around yapping about them, they live them. You remind me of rappers who have to get their gold teeth in to prove that they are no longer living in the hood. You constantly have to remind people that you know G-d. You have to remind us because we actually see you lie, cheat, and gossip...let. that. sink. in.
Google has never been religious. You wanna go there? The Christmas tree... a pagan symbol. The Easter eggs... pagan. You co-opt days out of a scientific calendar and then get pissed because some of us who understand what a solstice is actually acknowledge the solstice. Seriously. Some of you need a history book.
WHEN...WHEN are you going to get angry at the real cause of your frustration? It's not the over educated atheists that are standing in your way. It's not the Muslims that demand equality (in America of all places) that are bothering you. Nope, your real enemy is your own church. The Church that decided when Jesus' birthday should be put you squarely at odds with the scientific and the pagan communities both. The Church that thought you were too vapid to understand that Easter is a floating holiday, well, maybe they were right. I have 10 year olds asking why Easter is never on the same day each year, but 40 year old women who just never noticed. It is shocking to me that you are part of a religion that you "love" yet know absolutely nothing about its inception. You don't know anything about King James. Hell, some of you think he wrote the book! Have you ever watched a documentary about him?? nope. You know nothing about Constantine. You know nothing about the money that passed between religious and political parties so that your religion may be the biggest, loudest, and strongest. And for a people who try to get each and every child they see into the church building you sure don't stand up to the Catholic Church about their rampant pedophilia.
What would Jesus do? Jesus would tell you to get him off your internet memes and get out of your churches, sell what the church has and feed people....no, that would mean nobody could read your self righteous Twitter updates anymore. Screw that.
What would Jesus do? He would be walking the streets meeting people, not sitting at home on the interwebs. He would be honest. He would be holy. He would be kind...and he would not be in church.
