BREAKING: Jesus seeks new brand management

S E E D E D   C O N T E N T



GOLGOTHA – After a tumultuous, decades-long relationship with Evangelical Christians, Jesus H. Christ finally announced He is seeking bids for new brand management. The announcement arrived today via burning bush. 

“I’m not supposed to say this, but you can only forgive people so many times,” Jesus said, after flipping a table. “I left very simple instructions: Love your neighbour. That’s it. Pretty straightforward. And yet, again, I’m dealing with these women-hating, white supremacist, gun fuckers. I don’t know if it’s a literacy issue, but I need new representation. I can’t work with these assholes anymore.”

Jesus confirmed that while He still loves evangelicals – because He has to – they are 100% to blame for His declining brand equity and loss of followers.

“At the very least, I need a brand management team that can read a room,” Jesus continued, with unspeakable grace. “That’s a big priority for me going forward. If they can’t commit to basic human decency, it would be cool if they understood how to spend less social capital than they actually earn.”

The brand manager RFP is slated to close whenever Jesus can find people that don’t freak out about Pride month, or critical race theory, or helping the poor, or yoga, or hearing Happy Holidays. 

In the meantime, the Holy Trinity is trying to figure out how to convince evangelicals to stop clobbering Instagram with unsolicited Bible verses. 

“Every attempt we’ve made to get these people to cease and desist has been misinterpreted as the devil’s work,” said the Holy Spirit. “I visited a couple churches personally, and they did a big exorcism to get rid of me. It’s all very annoying.”

Looking ahead, Jesus said he has started to read proposals. He couldn’t comment on anyone’s standing, but sources say He’s trying to poach Robert Downey Jr.’s publicist.

The sad part is you could have done better with that kind of satire than the overly blunt Jen Reeves.

You let your fans down today.

Tomorrow is another day, but then again, time is vicious when you waste it.

You've got a lot of fucking nerve.

You let us down every day with your hateful ignorance against all Democrats/Liberals/Progressives.  

You don't actually let us down, I expect nothing from you but what you provide, you never disappoint with your hateful ignorance against all Democrats/Liberals/Progressives.

Go back to your own 'articles' you on your high horse looking down on us.

or yoga

Incredibly, this is a real thing. Religious Neanderthals have, for decades, engaged in fear mongering about MFing yoga. Because you go in there and they say “namaste” or “ohmmm” or something, it means they hate God, and you will be brainwashed into forgetting you’re a Christian.

Or something.

Namaste means nothing more than peace, doesn't it? Who came to bring peace to the world?

Besides, yoga is fun once you get into it

As I get older I make time to relax. Of course it's easier that the kids are out of the house, but I don't stress on stupid stuff like a clean house and every body's laundry is done.

The latest is that the Evangelicals are upset because the city stopped them from Baptisms in the local lake. They were polluting the water and the beach is my guess.

So what did Jesus use his invitational, gigantesque language to say? Quantitatively, not a great deal, as far as the records report; everything that the New Testament records can be spoken in two hours. Yet his teachings may be the most repeated in history. 
-
“Love your neighbor as yourself.
-
”“Whatsoever you would that men should do unto you, do you also unto them.”
-
Come unto me, all you that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”
-
You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
-
Most of the time, however, he told stories that we call parables: of buried treasure, of sowers who went out to sow, of pearl merchants, of a good Samaritan, of a young man who blew his inheritance on a binge and found himself cadging scraps from the pigs, of a man who had two sons. The world knows them well. People who heard these stories were moved to exclaim, “This man speaks with authority.... Never spoke man thus!” They were astonished, and with reason. If we are not it is because we have heard Jesus’ teachings so often that their edges have been worn smooth,dulling their subversiveness. If we could recover their original impact, we too would be startled. Their beauty would not cover the fact that they are“hard sayings” for presenting a scheme of values so counter to the usual as to rock us like an earthquake.
-
We are told that we are not to resist evil but to turn the other cheek. The world assumes that evil must be resisted by every means available.
-
We are told to love our enemies and bless those who curse us. The world assumes that friends are to be loved and enemies hated.
-
We are told that the sun rises on the just and the unjust alike. The world considers this undiscrimin-ating; it would like to see clouds over evil people and is offended when they go unpunished.
-
We are told that outcasts and harlots enter the kingdom of God before many who are perfunctorily righteous. Again unfair, the world thinks; respectable people should head the procession.
-
We are told that the gate to salvation is narrow. The world would prefer it to be-broad.
-
We are told to be as carefree as birds and flowers. The world counsels prudence.
-
We are told that it is more difficult for the rich to enter the Kingdom than for a camel to pass through a needle’s eye. The world admires wealth.
-
We are told that the happy people are those who are meek, who weep, who are merciful and pure in heart. The world assumes that it is the rich, the powerful, and the wellborn who are happy.
-
The great Russian philosopher Nikolai Berdyaev said that a wind of freedom blows through these teachings that frightens the world and makes us want to deflect them by postponement—not yet, not yet! H. G. Wells was evidently right: Either there was something mad about this man, or our hearts are still too smallfor his message.

I sure hope Jesus finds the right marketing company. Re-making an image after 2000 years is going to be tough

Let’s be honest - Jesus hates more than just the evangelicals.  In the US we have a two party system.  One of them wears Christianity on its sleeve while promoting policies that serve to make poor people more poor and rich people more rich.  Neither party really cares about helping sick people get well.  Most days I feel like I’m one of the only people he would actually like, and I’m an atheist.  Christianity screwed the pooch by immutably setting the bar out of reach.
