"They talk about the Pope like he's gone rogue," Bill Maher said. "He is off the reservation and inventing his own brand of socialist Christianity. No—he is just quoting Jesus."
Then came Maher's take:
"The fact that this story played out last week during the papal visit exposed how little these so-called Christians of the far right believe in what Jesus actually said," Maher said. "How could they? There is not a tent in the tent big enough to fit both Jesus and Ayn Rand. In order to be both Republican and Christian they had to create an entirely new Jesus [emphasis added].
We don't only have two Americas, we have two Jesuses now. It's true. Liberals have the traditional Jesus who hated rich assholes and wouldn't shut up about how they should give away all of their money. And conservatives made up a completely new Jesus. A small businessman from Galilee whose main gripe is big government and who wants to make Nazareth great again.
I call him supply-side Jesus. He'd love to help the less fortunate but he's got investors to think about. Like the time supply-side Jesus performed a miracle and created a bounty of loaves and fishes and then gave them all to the top one percent so they can trickle down to the takers. ..."
The parody was spot on. Mirrors, anybody?
food for thought it's known that far right has usurped religion and made it their own they named it evangelicalism it comes with all their bells and whistles, a different deity, bigotry and racist intolerance all the things the hold dear and close to where a human heart would be. and they are corrupting their kids with it too.
