Imagine calling yourself a "Christian" and thinking following Jesus means giving people weapons and denying them water.
I don't know how you explain to people that Jesus had a moral philosophy and it wasn't, "Sit in a building once a week looking pious."
It was fierce. Active. You help those less fortunate. You welcome the stranger. You love your enemies. It's not easy, it's not about hate.

You don't have to be a Christian to admire Jesus.
So many who claim to follow Jesus don't understand the first thing about the revolutionary act of channeling God's love for you into your love of others.
Jesus was very clear about these things. He did not mince words.

Sometimes I like to imagine Jesus attending one of those $10,000 a plate "prayer breakfasts" in some ornate hall.
He stands up and says, "Stop what you're doing right now. Take your food outside. Give it to the people starving out there. Did you hear a single word I said?"
