6. Wretched scum and villainy

Jesus wasn't conservative. He was progressive. He also made wine and hung out with prostitues and losers.

Not to toot my own horn, but a Unitarian minister once compared me to Jesus in a sermon.

"Jesus is very different from David. He holds no official office, he has no army, he does not deal in that kind of power. Rather, Jesus hangs out with the Alex's of the world, the outcasts and rejects, the unclean masses. And that is where Jesus plants his kingdom. That is where Jesus builds his church, his ecclesia. It is among these Alex's of the world, the losers, the poor peasant trash class, that Jesus builds power and distributes authority."


Gives a whole new meaning to the expression "holy shit", huh?
(said the holy shit)
