The church is an instrument of rich people to replace Jesus teaching with justification of their selfishness. Almost no exceptions. Since day one. Malice, intentionality, forethought, is not a requirement in any of this.

Samantha Bee. Christian fundamentalists are fighting to end the world. No, really. They are working to kill you, your children, your grandchildren, all of creation. And Trump loves it.

I don't know what the republicans in Washington consider themselves. I do know what they are not, Christian. They are viciously Antichrist.

Fundamentalist Christians, in love and truth I say, indeed you have a father, it is absolutely obviously clearly the father of Destruction, and Jesus had the other one. The father of creation. You are children of the devil. Repent. Return to your original father, creator. Article

Without love it is nothing. Corinthians 13. Without money, you are worthless. America, 2017.

By his wounds you are healed. Yes, this is true, with the white jesus that white folks created, this is true. But with the Palestinian Jew we are saved by loving as he loved. Two opposite Jesus.

I can think of just one profession where the requirement is to lie. Christian faith leader. Nearly every seminarian is taught the scholarly truth, that the Bible is riddled with errors. And virtually every one denies this to the world.

BIAS, against any individual or group is discrimination, bigotry , Racist,  elitist, evil, unacceptable, dehumanizing, sin,  anti-Christ. No honest, no sane, individual can believe or assert that America, that the u.s. people, that law enforcement, the government, is not biased against exactly those who Jesus Championed, exactly those who Jesus elevated, exactly those who were the Center of Jesus family. The disadvantaged,  the minorities, poor, the different, the marginalized, the weak, the unreligious, the unpopular, those of a different faith, the non-conformist.... That one received such negative bias, or the group that receive such negative bias, not for an instant does it justifying or forgive bias against in return. Love those who persecute you. Do good to those who persecute you. They will know you by how you love. I don't know about your father, but my Father loves every individual exactly the same , and experiences immense pain with even a disrespectful,  harmful,  unkind word thought or uttered toward one of His children. Okay, he loves those who experience bias against them, more. As you do unto the least of these, the least of these my Family, every creature, you do unto me.

Bigotry and racism, even the slightest hint of bigotry and racism is precisely, exactly, completely, totally the perfect thing to do if one wants to be anti Christ. The exact center and the Heart of his ministry was embracing those that others had made Outcast, the Sinners, the sick, the weak, the poor,  the neglected and abused,  the unbelievers, the criminals,  the government, those shamed and Damned by the religious of the day. How much more unforgivable,  sinful, today when we have known of his example for two thousand years. Unforgivable. Soul killing. Desecration of Christ when done by those that claim to follow him.  "I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians. They are so unlike your Christ." "There would be no more Hindus if Christians would practice their faith." Gandhi. "I think the greatest obstacle to people becoming Christian is those who preach the gospel and do not follow it." Teresa of Calcutta  "We need to preach the gospel, every day, all day long, and occasionally, use words, to do so." Francis of Assisi

Leading Doctor Calls Climate Change Gravest Health Threat of 21st Century 'When you cannot feed your children, you will do anything, even if it means going to war. This is the reality of climate change'

No offense friend. I say the following with all due respect. I think Albert Einstein was a great physicist. I don't care where he was born. It does not affect my respect for his abilities as a scientist. I don't care where he died or how he died. That has no impact on what I understand to be his great contribution as a man. Jesus was the most Divine embodiment of unconditional loving that I have yet seen. I don't care where he was born. I don't care who his mother was. I don't care where he died. I don't care where he went after he died. I care about what he showed us as a possibility for how to be, how to live, in this life. I don't know anyone that agrees with me. I do know people in history that have agreed with me. Jesus agreed with me. Martin Luther King jr. agreed with me. Gandhi agreed with me. Teresa of Calcutta agreed with me. Leo Tolstoy agreed with me. There have been a few others. But the masses totally disagree with me.

I also couldn't care less whether the Prophet Muhammad was transported from Medina or wherever. Anyway, that isn't true that I don't care. I am horrified that we care about these Fairytales instead of looking at the goodness that these men did and following their example. I hate that.

I am not interested in the fairy tales. I am interested in the man Jesus. To try and learn to be like he was. Gandhi was interested in that. So was Martin Luther King. A major source for them was Leo Tolstoy and his books, the gospel in brief, and, the kingdom of God is within you. I do found those very helpful. I find the words of Jesus in the Bible very helpful and informative. I find the works of the scholar Dominic crossan very helpful. Most of what so-called Christians find helpful I find abomination. Be well friend. James

### Had an absolutely horrible experience yesterday. Attended a gigantic meeting at  Washington National Cathedral, on the topic of what the white church needs to do for black lives matter. There were hundreds of people there including many clergy who had been invited. Everyone loved it, I walked out after 45 minutes being unable to stand it. The five people on stage were just revolting examples of white  privilege even though two of them were of color. They will do whatever it takes for justice for people of color as long as it doesn't cost them one dime, one bit of personal risk, one second of their time, one drop of sweat .  Their words were of solidarity, their behavior was a complete and utter divorce. It was a horror. It was a nightmare. They were droids, they were zombies.

***** It was only about a year ago I came across a thought that had never occurred to me. People of color are the color of Earth, natural. People like me without color of the freaks, the color of death, bones.

### Is the AWOL faith community in Philadelphia on the Democratic payroll? My reply: They are not on the Democratic payroll. I spent a year, including my first Hunger Strike, to try to get them to cross the line from talking about helping the children in Chester Pennsylvania, to actually doing it.

### Is the AWOL faith community in Philadelphia on the Democratic payroll? My reply:  They are not on the Democratic payroll. I spent a year, including my first Hunger Strike, to try to get them to cross the line from talking about helping the children in Chester Pennsylvania, to actually doing it. It's not about the Democrats. It's about the American disease of worshipping money, viewing money as life itself, Above All Else. They care about the poor, they are just unwilling to allow anything that will cause Financial Justice for the poor because that will cause them to pay a personal price and they're unwilling to do that. They'll allow anyone and everyone else to suffer and die before they'll allow that. We will allow everyone else to suffer and die before we will allow that, paying the personal price for economic Justice for the poor. It is a liberal disease and a conservative disease. It is not about the political parties, they just manifest in different ways. And it's not just Martin Luther King that we haven't seen since the late sixties, it is large groups of people with the same level of sanity, Humanity, that fought alongside of him. All that died a long long time ago. That's the problem.
