on me it's my fat ass
Would you say the same of Rumi or Hafiz or the Nameless One behind the scenes?
If you have been hurt or oppressed by wielders of "The Bible" (long may it burn), I sympathize and commiserate.
However, the stories of Jesus as reported, fictionally or factually, represent an aspiration to choose and express the better possibilities of our nature, so please do not sully or tarnish the name or image of Jesus.
This is a phenomenon you do not understand, and I will grant that many "Christians" also do not understand, those who use the crust of understanding for weapons, and who miss the heart of the pie, which is full of light and love.
Regrets for my harsh tone above. May you live a long and healthy life, wealthy in all the truly beneficial ways, and may you be protected from harm.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidsome Evangelical Trump supporters?
Yes sir, many. Would you like a list?
don't bother making a list
the list would be as worthless as those on it
