For the record, I’m not a Republican, Conservative, Libertarian, Liberal, Democrat, Progressive, or MAGA Trump Supporter. The reason I don’t wear any of those labels is because many Republicans, Conservatives, Libertarians, Liberals, Democrats, Progressives, and MAGA Trump Supporters are depraved lunatics and I don’t share their views. Do you understand?
That means, for the record, that I am not required to justify the words or actions of any Republican, Conservative, Libertarian, Liberal, Democrat, Progressive, or MAGA Trump Supporter. Do you understand?
I’m only responsible for the stuff that I say and do. Whatever outrageous quote you heard on Fox News came from somebody else. I’ve never been on Fox News. I don’t even watch Fox News. I’m not a member of Congress either. Do you understand?
I’m also not the famous Christian person who is currently scandalizing you. Whatever priests, preachers, rabbis, gurus, or self-proclaimed ‘Holy Men’ have your knickers in a knot; I’m not responsible for whatever they said or did to offend you. Do you understand?
“John, you jerk!!! You say you’re a Christian!! You must own what your fellow Christians do!!!! Own it!!!!!!”
Before you make me responsible for everything that happens anywhere in the world by anyone who identifies as ‘Christian,’ I must warn you that I’ll be holding you to the same standard.
You’re going to be responsible for the actions of EVERYONE who isn’t a Christian. You must ‘own’ the violence, corruption, hatred, and oppression that occurs OUTSIDE the church. You’ll be accountable for every act of wickedness that non-religious people do. Are you even starting to understand yet?
If you’re still utterly befuddled, just post a meme about some group you think I endorse in the comments.
(Ezekiel 18:2) “What do you people mean by quoting this proverb about the land of Israel: ‘The fathers eat sour grapes, and the children’s teeth are set on edge’? As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign Lord, you will no longer quote this proverb in Israel. For every living soul belongs to me, the father as well as the son—both alike belong to me. The soul who sins is the one who will die.”
