Jesus Politics: Let's Get Jesus Back: "Moyers, a Baptist layman, said one of the reasons for the deteriorating conditions for the poor is that, 'over the last few years, prophetic Christianity has lost its voice.' He said that was partially because 'the Religious Right drowned out everyone else and they hijacked Jesus … . He was made a militarist, a hedonist and a lobbyist.'


'Let's get Jesus back,' Moyers said, to loud applause from the attendees. 'Jesus drove the money-changers from the Temple. We have to drive them from the temples of democracy.'"

Nice to hear others saying it. Jesus has become a capitalist and a nationalist as well, and I am tired of it.
