The patriarchal, macho, controlling, manipulative,
shaming, money - grubbing, name - it - and - claim - it, fear - mongering, other - despising, fiefdom - making, using and abusing, excuse for narcissistic and plain old selfish and power - addled appalling behavior that is commonly called «church» and «church leadership» has nothing
whatsoever to do
with anything the person or character or compilation or concept called «Jesus» ever reportedly or theoretically said, did, or conveyed.
Please don't let anger about the issue override your compassion for the individuals involved — no title or degree proclaims anyone superior over another, nor does instill in anyone the power to publicly
shame another individual — especially someone
with whom you share no relation (none
whatsoever).
