Here&#x27;s another article about the long tradition of the US pseudo-christianism:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.history.com&#x2F;news&#x2F;slave-bible-redacted-old-testament" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.history.com&#x2F;news&#x2F;slave-bible-redacted-old-testam...</a><p>&quot;The Slave Bible doesn’t include Moses leading the Israelites to freedom, but it does include Joseph’s enslavement in Egypt. In the U.S., some sermons aimed at enslaved people portrayed Joseph as someone who “accepts his lot in life, keeps his faith in God and in the end is rewarded for it,” Schmidt says. The Slave Bible may have wanted to impart a similar lesson to its audience.<p>Passages that emphasized equality between groups of people were also excised. This included: “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus” (Galatians 3:28). The Slave Bible also doesn’t contain the Book of Revelation, which tells of a new heaven and Earth in which evil will be punished.<p>In contrast, one of the passages that remained was one that proponents of slavery loved to cite: “Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ” (Ephesians 6:5).&quot;

It&#x27;s a weird, mutant form of Christianity that pretty much ignores the essence of Jesus&#x27; teachings and amplifies many of the things Jesus taught against.

This brings to mind following thoughts attributed to Alan Watts about what organized Christianity actually is about:<p>&quot;There are various models of the universe which men have used from time to time, and the model that lies behind the Judeo-Christian tradition, if there really is such a thing, is a political model. It borrows the metaphor of the relation of an ancient Near Eastern monarch to his subjects, and he imposes his authority and his will upon his subjects from above by power, whether it be physical power or spiritual power.

“We were always taught as Christians to serve the meek, the lowly, the marginalized,” Ms. Stephens said. “I think we’ve realized that, if anything, the rich, the wealthy, the powerful need Jesus just as much.”<p>Many rich and powerful feel very close to Jesus but hate the meek, the lowly, and marginalized more than ever (do they know how Jesus felt about the marginalized?) Let’s see how this works out for them. What a wash.
