There’s a word for that metamorphosis, it’s not fashionable these days, but it’s time to bring it out again, heresy! And that heretical view is blasphemy.

not really that strange – the need for power and to protect that power has been wrapping itself in religious righteousness from the very beginning of time. What is strange is that as humans we haven’t woken up to this worn out game plan.
A man lived and grew a following where everything he did was exaggerated and embellished after the fact. He could do no wrong in his followers eyes because he was sent from God to fix the world. That man? …. Donald J. Trump.
What if Jesus was actually the same?

Nothing new. People have been twisting Christian theology to justify evil for as long as it has existed. See the Crusades, Spanish Inquisitions, slavery, child abuse, misogyny, etc.
We like to pretend that that was the past and Christianity is somehow over that phase but, at some level, we all know better. It was and will always be a way to justify what people were already going to do anyway.

…and the Rainn-man spake and there rose a great lamentation in the heart of those struck by his words, for they were true and no falseness was heard.
This is probably coming from his publicist not him. Pretty sure Rain Wilson is still a right winger with grifting podcast friends
Anti Science? You hosted quacks. Take some responsibility.
they all going to hell
In Buddhism we say, “Buddha spoke, but no one listened to the Buddha, and that’s why we have buddhism.”
I feel like the same logic applies to Christ.
Hilarious that the guys blowing up a country that hasn’t attacked us think they are on the side of God.
This is what happens when thinking people abandon the religion, only leaving the braindeads.
Republicans tricked conservatives into thinking anything that doesn’t benefit rich people is gay communism.
Years of propaganda
It is what Christianity would look like if it had been subverted by the devil.
Make believe is so fun
The Vikings were savage marauding plunderers even after they had been converted to christianity. They made it fit.
Supply side Jesus
Not so much of a transformation as a perversion.
