Rand Paul is a baptized member of the Episcopal Church.
I appreciate knowing that and I’m glad.
Nonetheless I’m rather unhappy with republicans and democrats telling me what jesus would not do.
Apparently a wide array of reasonable things such as dignifying unborn life and respecting marriage are incomprehensible to both parties.
Jesus is inherently political because by rising from the dead he removed the principal argument by which partisans rule.
That’s unacceptable to the partisan.
Jesus affirmed a roman soldier as having the greatest faith in all of Israel. That rather hawkish behavior is a big part of why jesus got killed.
Military bashing has gotten far too fashionable on the right and left.
I support the Iraq war. I’m not changing my mind for ‘warmonger’ straw man arguments laid out by Paul and others.
Genocidal dictators deserve far less peace than the vast peace industrial complex gives them.
