Morality is not determined by the church you attend nor the faith you embrace. It is determined by the quality of your character and the positive impact you have on those you meet along your journey

Oh, they have their own Jesus. Well that makes sense.
Okay well this explains how they can continue to call themselves Christians while mistreating everybody who does not look like them.
I think that the person holding the sign is not a proponent of "Alt Jesus" but a genuine, thinking and caring Christian who is opposed to the mockery that modern fundamentalism has made of it. Beaglemom
Just what you say, Beaglemom -- I think this is a good person's description of the crazy Christians who have become so prominent in our culture. At least I hope so!
I saw this photo a week or so ago and NEVER did I interpret it to mean the lady holding the sign was promoting "ALT-JESUS." Instead, I'm certain she's mocking the alt-right as well as the biblethumpers who are everything Jesus preached against.
Jesus was a good guy. It's some of his followers who scare the shit out of me.
5:15, your bumper sticker is a play on Mahatma Ghandi's comment. "I love your Jesus. I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Jesus."
Alt-Jesus> of course. The alt-mighty would know everything. alt-god.

um, didn't Jesus say something about loving people, caring for the poor and sick,ect. these people have NEVER read the bible. i hope they enjoy their time in hell. sick, sick, sick.
how about the greater likelihood that the placard holders are in fact mocking those of the alt right who are so intolerant.
ReplyDeletelooks to me as though you may have jumped to a conclusion that is in danger of collapsing under its own weight.
It's obvious it's a protest sign. I'm sure Gryphen is aware of that.
DeleteWell, DUH! Looks to me like you missed the entire snark - Gryphen's and the placard holder's!
DeleteThe sign is obviously snark but I don't see any in Gryphen's remarks.
DeleteYeah, I think Gryphen got Poe'd there.
DeleteDo people legitimately believe I would think that an alt-right protester would bring a sign like that to a rally?
DeleteIf anything I thought my post was a little TOO snarky.
Uh, yes, the sign is obviously mocking the right wing nutjobs.
DeleteDuh.
And no, Gryphen didn't get played.
But you obviously did.
That sign lists all the republican "assets" They all feel just that way.
ReplyDelete3:39, please explain that to 2:10 above.
DeleteLeland. Impossible to explain to a tRump supporter anything that makes sense. You know that.
DeleteI could probably teach my dog calculus, before i can make sense to a t-rump supporter. I honestly think my dog is smarter then them.
DeleteJust my way of once again slapping the stupid, 5:13.
DeleteThat sign describes the real GOP Jesus.
ReplyDeleteFuck you, I got mine.

Just what you say, Beaglemom -- I think this is a good person's description of the crazy Christians who have become so prominent in our culture. At least I hope so!
DeleteThat too.
DeleteDespite what the alt-right insists, there are Christians that are also Liberals and Liberals that are also Christians.
This woman has spot on identified the difference between Progressive Christians and right wing conservative "Christians."
She's pointing out that either you are a true Christian or you are not.
They are not. You can't be a Christian without living any Christian values.

ReplyDeleteJesus was a good guy. It's some of his followers who scare the shit out of me.
I once saw a great bumper sticker "Dear Lord, please protect me from your followers" Still true, perhaps even more so, today.
Delete5:15, your bumper sticker is a play on Mahatma Ghandi's comment. "I love your Jesus. I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Jesus."
DeleteOops! I misquoted him. Its I like your Christ!
