Here is the fundamental message of the fun-damentalists: Say “Jesus” and then you don’t have to do Jesus. - Robert S. McElvaine

Science follows evidence; political science follows opinion; religious science follows myth and is therefore no science at all.

Much as the Nazis created an “Aryan Jesus” because the real Semitic Jesus was not to their liking, the Lite Christians have created an American Jesus or a Muscular Jesus or a Consumerist Jesus because they don’t like the real nonviolent/turn-the-other-cheek/love-your-enemy/meek-shall-inherit-the-earth/easier-for-a-camel-to-go-through-the-eye-of-a-needle-than-for-a-rich-man-to-enter-heaven/drive-the-moneychangers-from-the-temple Jesus. They simply re-create Jesus in their own image.

They are so certain that they know God’s mind because they equate their own minds with that of God.
