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 commanders policed and preyed upon
the prosperous
and innocent
and vulnerable

Creating a divide among the 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 rabbinical nation-state
plutocracy.

Some rabbis found this too political
and not enough Jewish spiritual,
rooted in Promised Land natural
indigenous wisdom
enlightened by One SunGod Creator
shining more Torah manifestly
on His Chosen People
to be fruitful
and passionate pleasure prosper,
maintaining the open hospitality Way
10-commandment Truth
sacred green pasture
empowering promised land-based Life.

Jesus grew into a young messiah
Prince of SunFather’s enlightening Peace,
although surrounded by His Judaism Tribe,
hoping for a nation-building Zionist,
and not so much an advocate
of non-violent communicating serenity,
not reductively all about getting in the political
and economic face
of weaponized atrocities.

Despite lack of rabbinical support,
Jesus had a God is love for peace
gospel message
inspiring His HolyBody Spirit.

When asked if He supported paying tribute
to war- and fear-mongering Ceasar,
He said to give to Ceasar
what is capitalist coin-producing
empire-building Ceasar’s,
leaving unsaid the remainder

His religiously mature PeaceTribe
could continue their cooperative 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 hate against Other.

At every turn
Jesus lived and taught Love’s way of peace,
consistently giving religious preference
to restorative peace-making
rather than continuing with 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 queerly short

Jesus’s consistent retort,
who among us hasn’t fallen short
of Love’s relentlessly religious
peace-making integrity?

While Jesus was sad,
tearful about disappointing his evangelical
IsraelFirst followers,
he promised that his compassion
pleasing 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 orthodoxy
or their evangelical nationalistic patrimony
but by their liberally compassionate
Holy Spirit/Nature fruits.

Including,
but not necessarily limited by anything
or anyone
or any relationships
other than their demonic irreligious
fear- and anger- and hate-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 dispassionate/displeasing insecure Holier Than Thou

Kindness: compassionate care-giving;
not dispassionately unforgiving

Charity: passionately pleasing Christian [peace-making] love;
not dispassionately displeasing evangelical [just-war] disregard

Patience: thoughtfully engaging trauma’s dissonant degenerativity;
not thoughtlessly disengaging therapeutic resonant regenerativity

Gentleness: Graciously considerate religious practices
not disgraciously inconsiderate irreligious malpractices

Modesty: CreationCentered respectful humility;
not anthropocentric disrespectful greed

Goodness: Religiously moral integrity;
not nationalistic immoral hypocrisy

Longanimity (long-suffering): resilient re-ligious loyalty;
not fragile irreligious 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 dispassionate display

Dismay threatening to disintegrate
inter-religious peace-making
through merely MAGA nationalistic play.

What does this MindBody of Jesus say?
