”So, my concern would be, ‘Hey, let’s make sure we’re representing Christ well in all of this.’ We’re a church, you know. This is what we do,” Avell said.

Republican Jesus has taken over the US Supreme Court, while following the teachings of the actual Jesus gets you charged with a crime.

Every day the corrupt stray further from the light of God. It’s not even a religious concept. Just be a good person. That’s all Jesus ever asked, and it’s the same thing an ethics professor will tell you. Just choose to be good.

Why is it so hard? And why do so many evil people, especially fallen religious people, obsess about punishing people who choose to be good and loving in their little corners of the world? Why is that even your business?

That's not all Jesus ever asked. Jesus asked for morality and kindness comes with that.
