Alan Lewis<p>SHAME ON YOU FOR EMPATHIZING<br>-- "CHRISTIAN" "NATIONALISTS"<br>Mastodon Post</p><p>The item I am attaching, reposted from Facebook, contains information that is new to me. It seems to me we ought to start putting the word Christian in quotation marks. What the right wing calls "Christianity" and tries to make it theirs is what I call Saulism and nearly everyone else calls Paulism. It can connect to the ministry of Jesus the Empathic in varying degrees; but to my way of thinking, it is Jesus-free "Christianity" altogether too often. A repost I made this morning drew from this gospel passage:</p><p>Matthew 25:34-40 NRSV</p><p>Then the king will say to those at his right hand, ‘Come, you that are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me.’ Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry and gave you food, or thirsty and gave you something to drink? And when was it that we saw you a stranger and welcomed you, or naked and gave you clothing? And when was it that we saw you sick or in prison and visited you?’ And the king will answer them, ‘Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.’</p><p>Ask yourselves, what would Trump's big, ugly bill do to Jesus as it does to the least.</p><p>Eightysix47</p><p>: <a href="https://c.im/tags/bigviciousbill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bigviciousbill</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/democrats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>democrats</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/donaldtrump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>donaldtrump</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/eightysix47" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>eightysix47</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/jesus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>jesus</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/matthew25" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>matthew25</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/uspol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>uspol</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/uspolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>uspolitics</span></a> :</p>
