These are truly chilling, first-hand accounts of interactions with the brokers of supreme authority: Presidents and Senators from the State of God. When I say "supreme authority", I do so with the understanding that religion (Catholicism in particular) has been the longest standing power structure in human history, and it remains one of the most influential establishments to this day. It is the original disinformation superhighway. Salvation is the pitch, obedience is the price.
The truths that Jesus spoke of, his actions, his intentions, and most importantly (in terms of power) the popularity of his messaging made him a threat to the status quo. That's why he was assassinated. We've seen this play out since his time with numerous moral leaders. Those who gain traction against systems of domination become marginalized or eliminated - but the populism and symbolism become usurped for the good of evil.
And as believers of Jesus Inc. await the second coming, they miss the fact that at any given moment, there are many Jesus' among us - he's and she's and everything in between living a message of decency and basic human dignity.
Amen, ironically.
