SAVING JESUS FROM CHRISTIANITY

1
Look at him now a recovering evangelical
older and wiser
since he took his savior
down from the cross so both could get back on their feet again

2
That Jesus fellow
would make a better carpenter
than a rabbi
if only they would let him off
his cross
so he can use it
for lumber

3
If Jesus found his Christ
inside him
so can you.
So stop looking outside
at a lynched man
dying on the top of a hill.
Go save him
now
rather than asking him
to save you
later.

4
Jesus may have died for your sins
but he lived for
an entirely different purpose.
When you find out what it was
you will feel like
you can live forever.

5
Prove you're not a robot.
Stop being a follower.
Stop taking religious orders.
The only messiah you'll ever find
is standing in your
Nike shoes or Gucci loafers,

6
A Christian friend
claims the impossible:
to be pro-God
and pro-gun
at the same time.
You know how Jesus felt
about carrying knives.
Don't let him catch you
with a semi-automatic
or even a pistol.
If you must hunt
use a cross bow.
