As a progressive Christian who hates everything MTG stands for, this is kind of disheartening to hear...
I'm happily oblivious much of to (I assume) US politics, so I'm going to read this as if you're talking about Magic the Gathering.
I thought it was the conservative Christians who hate MTG...
Many would trade a lot to be as blissfully ignorant.
I am not even sure how so much hate and ignorance lives in one woman without causing her to have constant strokes.
in all honesty, you should have been disheartened long before this article, or my comment.
There is a reason why the discovery of the Gnostic Gospels was not publicized. The clergy and MTG's who have hijacked Christianity prefer a dogmatic religion mediated by them.
Jesus' "message" was more like poetry allowing the individual a direct experience with the numinous. More akin to Eastern mysticism and, dare I say, the philosophy of many Atheists. He probably was just one hippie amongst many but happened to go viral.
There is desperate need for the concept of the Gnostic to take its rightful place in Christianity as a whole, there needs to be a reformation and I wish I had the resources and skills to start it.
There is such a stark difference between the compassionate, personal, and community-driven message Jesus spoke as compared to the insular, socially stingy, and hierarchical lives that his conservative supposed followers live.
And the sad thing is I really think they'd be a lot happier if they gave up on their worldly obsessions and bigotries and ACTUALLY read what he said. I know I am.
I mean you don’t often get an whole anthology dedicated to how much you told people they must show unconditional love and acceptance to everyone they meet unless your really dedicated to it.
