Evangelicals Are Now Rejecting JESUS as TOO LIBERAL (not a joke! Not The Onion!)

"Multiple pastors tell me, essentially, the same story about quoting the Sermon on the Mount and...'Where did you get those liberal talking points?'"

"When the pastor would say, 'I'm literally quoting Jesus Christ' ... The response would be, 'Yes, but that doesn't work anymore.' "When we get to the point where the teachings of Jesus himself are seen as subversive to us, we're in a crisis."

@JohnShirley2023 I think Vonnegut pointed out right wing Christians always want the Ten Commandments on capitol grounds. But those are Jewish commandments. Jesus's beatitudes are HIS commandments. But not one wants those enshrined as the basis for American culture.
