JESUS FREAKS
Judith Lewis’ questions about the abuse of Jesus’ teachings for political gain [“Jesus and the Patriots,” July 2–8] need to be answered by those in power, whether in politics or within religious groups that have grown too large for their own (or our) good. Jesus, in my opinion, was a radical. Modern white male society has apparently gotten the man cleaned up, in a nice suit, with a job as CEO at some failing oil company, and made him a card-carrying member of the Republican Party. Looks like it’s up to the rest of us godless-long-haired-commie-pinko-fags to bring Jesus back to the people.
