i never got religion. i got curmudgeonism from grandpa kenny, and i guess the love of the bug juice. we sat on the chesterfield sofa and drank royal crown cola while granny weezie went to pray for our souls. but i read the gnostic gospels and it was a revelation. it's just the church, it's political, tends to oppress folks. lately i keep seeing signs of jesus, the jesus who cuts through all the gaslight and propaganda, the jesus of radical love. i'm not joining anything, i just think we need radical love more now than ever, maybe like in jesus' time. like in this time of radical evil and state terrorism.
