Once upon a Roman Empire building time
a brilliantly pleasing boy was born
of humble Jewish means,
named Jesus.
Born into autocratic occupation,
to avoid military police threats
of mass Jewish male child murder,
Jesus and his mom and dad
became EastBound immigrants,
away from Western kleptocratic ruin.
Jesus was thereby exposed
to more Eastern polytheistic
and pantheistic polycultures
before returning home
to listen and learn literacy
from rabbinical monotheists.
In this time of foreign occupation,
Roman military personnel policed and preyed upon
the prosperous
and innocent
and vulnerable
Creating a divide among Rabbi leaders,
some siding with the Zealot Party
who wanted to overthrow fascist red Roman Rule
and thereby establish an Israel nation-state
reforming Judaism’s land-based theocracy
into more of a Jewish nation-state
plutocracy.
Some rabbis found this too politically nationalistic
and not enough Jewish extended family spiritual,
rooted in Promised Land natural indigenous wisdom
enlightened by One SunGod Creator
shining more Torah manifestly
on His Chosen People
To grow pacifically fruitful,
and not always militantly at war
and threatening war
against Creator’s extended family
Chosen to passionate pleasure prosper
in a divinely manifest more perfect union,
thereby empowering YHWH’s open hospitality Way
of defending peace-fulfilling orthodox Truth
sacred green pasturing
a promised sacred Garden Paradise
of organically healthy EarthLife.
Jesus grew into a young messiah
Prince of SunFather’s enlightening Peace,
although surrounded by his Judaism Tribe
long hoping for a nation-building Zionist,
and not so much an advocate
of non-violent communicating
inter-religiously transformative serenity,
not fundamentally about reforming trauma,
the politically autocratic
and economically demonic face
of weaponized atrocities.
Despite lack of rabbinical support,
Jesus had a God is love for peace
healthy gospel message
inspiring His HolyBody-MindSpirit.
When asked if He supported paying tribute
to war- and fear-mongering Ceasar,
He said to give to Ceasar
what is capitalist coin-producing
military empire-building Ceasar’s,
leaving unsaid the remainder
His religiously mature PeaceTribe
would continue their domestic barter economy
and their Torah-teaching schools
and their walk a second mile
and turn the other cheek
gratitude Beatitudes,
to be known by their love for each other
and not by their fear of
or anger against
unredeemed Other.
At every turn
Jesus lived and taught Love’s way of peace,
consistently giving religious preference
to restorative peace-making
rather than zealous Zionist
Chosen Nation retributive justice
against those who spoke other languages,
against those immigrating from Othered cultures
against those who had sinned
and fallen monopolistically short
of One SunFather’s radically polyamorous
democratic glory
Light empowering even sparrows
and glorious lilies
and prodigiously faith-filled mustard seeds.
Jesus’s consistent retort
to toxic religiosity:
who among us hasn’t failed
Love’s relentlessly religious integrity
of transformational peace?
While Jesus was sad,
tearful about disappointing evangelical
IsraelFirst sceptics,
he promised that his pleasing compassion presence
would become more democratically accessible
upon his panentheistic Holy Spirit/Nature’s return,
sacredly organic
mindfully embodied
blood and bread indigenously wise
inter-religious communion.
And to this day
authentic Christians are discerned
not by their fundamental
scripture-based
“original-intention” orthodoxy
or their evangelical nationalistic patriotism
but by their liberally compassionate
Holy MindSpirit-BodyNature fruits
Including,
yet not limited by anything
anyone
any relationships
other than their demonic irreligious
fear- and anger-
and hate- and war-mongering opposites:
Peace: spiritual-mind/natural-body calm;
not unnatural/unspiritual chaos
Joy: deeply passionate contentment
not widely dispassionate discontent
Faith: spiritual-mind/natural-body confident curiosity;
not dispirited/denatured insecure Holier Than Thou religiosity
Kindness: compassionate care giving;
not dispassionate uncaring unforgiving
Charity: passionately pleasing Christian [peace-making] warm regard;
not dispassionately displeasing evangelical [war-making] disregard
Patience: thoughtfully considering trauma’s historically dissociative feelings;
not thoughtlessly dismissing therapeutic re-associative [re-ligious] faith
Gentleness: graciously considerate religious practices
not disgracefully inconsiderate irreligious malpractices
Modesty: CreationCentered respectful humility;
not anthropocentric disrespectful greed
Goodness: regeneratively moral integrity;
not degeneratively immoral hypocrisy
Longanimity (long-suffering): resilient revitalizing loyalty;
not fragile corrupt disloyalty
Self-control: engaging mind/body healthy opportunities;
not performing spirit-mind v nature-body unhealthy risks
Chastity: purity in associative actions;
not impurity in dissociative reactions.
And so it is
in this Make Christianity Healthy Again story
we might re-ligiously conclude
Zionism is to Judaism
in brilliant Prince of PeaceFull day
as Evangelism is to Christianity
in irreligiously nationalistic
dispassionate display
Dismay threatening to disintegrate
inter-religious peace-making
through merely MAGA evangelistic play.
What does transcultural Truth
transformative Way
Holy SpiritMind-NatureBody of Jesus
organic love-making (not hate-baking) do
and sacred peace-making say?
When re-membering
this greatest non-militaristic story ever told,
that once upon a Roman Empire building time
a brilliant Prince of Peace was born
of humble Jewish means,
named Jesus.
