Classical Spin

Rantings and ravings on politics, philosophy, and things that fall into the ether of 'none of the above'.

Jesus says: Chill out, man.

Here's an interesting column on AlterNet, in which a reverend asserts that not only is homophobia and gaybashing 'unchristian', but tolerating it is just as bad. Amen, I say.

Then, on the other hand, I have to wonder: Is it really? While yes, Jesus did tell people not to be so judgemental and spread the love and all that, God himself confesses in the Old Testament to being jealous and vengeful, and then in case you don't believe it, he goes and destroys the world and kills people and bargains for the lives of cities and whatnot. So is it possible that, from a Christian perspective, judging people is Godly but un-Jesus-like? (questions like this are why I'm so wary of Christianity).
