Christians: Jesus is too woke (onlysky.media)

I recently described why I think “woke” has become a vacuous word that means little more than “libtard” in modern parlance. It seems apropos, then, that Christianity Today also recently released a piece that saw the editor-in-chief claim (in a previous NPR interview) that evangelical Christianity is moving too far to the right.

It turns out that Jesus’s teachings are increasingly considered by many Christians to be too “liberal” and “weak.”

It's telling that these people allegedly believe a person to literally be an all-wise God but they still think that they know better than him.

And what's with "that doesn't work anymore" as an excuse? Why doesn't that line of reasoning apply to genital mutilation, female subservience to husbands, homophobia and all those other pre-Jesus positions that they still continue to justify based on their alleged faith?

The hypocrisy is transparent. They might as well come out and say that they'll just believe whatever is convenient and expect other people to treat those beliefs as sacred. I might actually respect them a little if they did.
