Over at HorsesAss, Tom Darien dismisses Martin Luther Kings because Dr. King was not, in Mr., Darien’s view a Christian. God, or at least the persona that posts as God, responded:
People like you make me so sad.
I have commanded you not to bear false witness, yet you say that Martin Luther King should be castigated for his character flaws? You violate MY laws and do so in My Name.
From My point of view all of you have character flaws.
A good place to learn about the flaws of humans is with the tales you tell of Jesus. In your tales of this man, you say he used my name. At that time, and still today, use of My name was blasphemy … a sin against the law you say he followed.
Your Jesus also fails to show charity, bragging about being My son and doing magic tricks may be impressive but giving of his own wealth would have meant more.
Finally, the image of your Jesus arranging for his own death by human sacrifice is an example of prideful vainglory, not virtue.
So Jesus was not, in your own terms “a saint.”
But, since many regard Jesus as great human. should you reject Jesus’ teaching because you say “No one is perfect?”
As for the level of Dr. King’s commitment to “the Christian Religion” … why is that even relevant? Was Pope Pious XII a good man because he was “Christian?” Are the Buddha’s teaching wrong because Buddha was neither a Christian not a believe in Me?
Do you think GW Bush’s Christianity justifies his war any more than Jefferson Davis’ christianity justifies slavery? Do you reject the teaching Ai Weiwei today because the great artists is Chinese or because he is an atheist?
Oh, and back at Jesus, why is it important for a “christian” to believe in gods beside me? Is belief in Jesus more important than good acts?
Would you negate My word because no-one is perfect enough to speak it?
I am what I am.
