I find it real funny that a food not bombs I used to volunteer at a few years back had no christians in it. Just atheists, pagans, muslims, and jews.
Like, the people who worship Jesus, a person who would love the idea of people making food for the needy, did not participate.
I mean, I might have seen some radical catholics show up if I was living in an area with more catholics, but that wasn’t the case. For whatever reason the only radical (left wing/anti-war) christians I’ve ever met have been deeply catholic.
the swedish church, which is the largest religious organization here afaik, is explicitly pro-LGBT and will go out of their way to tell intolerant people to pound sand
Jesus: The rich are sinful, good deeds matter more than identity, people must choose to join us, be good to others.
Supposed followers of Christ’s teachings: Yeah, we’re gonna listen to like, none of that.
Paul overwrote all of that. Christ is a mascot, not an actual authority.
I enjoy the super human flexibility necessary to make the eye of the needle parable pro-wealth.
And it’s not even pro-wealth, at most it’s “maybe He meant it’s just very very hard instead of impossible”. And then pretend it can be ignored.

Here in the UK, food banks are very often run by churches. My wife routinely buys stuff she knows they need. We are both Christians.
