Jesus: "You did WHAT in my name?!? Why would you torture gay ppl, wtf is wrong with you?!?! Why do you treat poor people so terrible, did you read my book at all?!"

"Oh my dad! Look at how much you've polluted Fathers planet, he is going to be so pissed. What do you mean prosperity gospel? That's not what that means!!! Me-Christ, you people are the devil!"

    i'm assuming it's more of a calculation. maybe their faith has their chances of salvation at more of a "5 to 6 and pick 'em" deal (a coin toss), but they believe--as the tensions and strife of global conflict rises from climate change, displaced persons, disease, and conflict geographically within and connected to "the holy land"--they are asserting themselves and their institutions as nodes of authority so they and their communities can receive the exaltation of the most desperate and confused.

    major "Chaos is a ladder" vibes.
