After reading several chapters from the gospels over the weekend,
local progressive believer Wendy Butler reportedly published a Patheos
blog post in which she criticized Jesus of Nazareth for “not being very
Christlike.”The blog post took Jesus to task for His “unloving and problematic” teachings.
“He devotes entire sections of His sermons to ranting about archaic
religious concepts like hell and the last judgment instead of just
coming alongside the marginalized and affirming their sins,” Butler
said. “Very little of what He did on earth I would describe as
life-giving. Frankly, I do a better job of being Christlike than Christ
Himself.”Pleasebeashitpost
It gets so so. much. worse. when Patheos actually responds to this article, which actually was a shitpost:
“As a progressive Christian who blogs at Patheos, I think this is funny and also makes a valid point. If Jesus doesn’t behave in a manner that seems ‘Christlike’ to us, then we should be honest about it, and should honestly weigh the possibility that Jesus, being human, was not infallible and that we should not simply blindly try to do what he did….” -James F. McGrath
