An Open Letter To Joe

Dear Joe,

 

Since I do not know your name or who you are, I will call you Joe. So Joe, recently, I read a news report where ministers are reporting that members of their congregations are calling Jesus a weak liberal.

 

One Minister was giving a sermon about the famous Sermon on the Mount and afterward was confronted by you claiming that Jesus was a weak liberal (the link is below). 

 

Another way of putting it is that you, Joe, are claiming that Jesus was weak, a liberal, and morally depraved because He advocated such things as “tuning the other cheek.” 

 

I will be the first to admit that I cannot follow the precepts of the Sermon on the Mount. I cannot easily turn the other cheek even though I think that is good advice. Therefore, I must also also be morally depraved. If so, so be it. 

 

Since we both either cannot follow or do not believe in the moral precepts of the Sermon on the Mount, we must both be moral degenerates. I will admit that I have an intolerance of intolerance, I cannot live up to the standards of the Sermon on the Mount.

 

But this is not about me; it is about you, Joe. You use your intolerant and immoral belief system to condemn those that are able to follow the precepts of the famous sermon. You use use your hostility and immorality to belligerently bluster, bully and huff and puff your hot air. Yet you are still not able to bring down the house.

 

Yes, I am an immoral degenerate because I cannot turn the other cheek. But so are you and so are all those like you.

 

Joe perhaps you should see the movie Barbie. You could wear your pink tutu and your pink froufrou to the film. Perhaps you will se what real courage and morality are. You clearly are not courageous or moral.

What a clever way to reveal the hypocrisy of moralists!

I hope that every Joe evangelist out there drinking his morning Joe while catching up with Morning Joe on Fox News can get a read of this.

I have a tip for all of us degenerates who don't follow the rules. Whenever you read or hear someone talking about an issue raising the word moral or its derivative, morality, you can be sure that it's someone hypocritically imposing their idea of what is moral or what is not on everyone else. And, it's really bad when men impose morality on their families in a way that is oppressively terrible to witness.

Let the witch hunts to begin in the new political season! Be sure to drop money in the plate when it is passed around.
