John Pavlovitz: Forget Anti-Christian Bias. The Trump Administration Has Anti-Jesus Bias [View all]

John Pavlovitz - Forget Anti-Christian Bias. The Trump Administration Has Anti-Jesus Bias

John Pavlovitz

As Christianity’s Holy Week begins marking the final week of Jesus’ life as presented in the Bible, the State Department under Marco Rubio recently instructed all of its employees to report coworkers for ”anti-Christian bias.”

The directive supports an Executive Order signed by Donald Trump in February, proposing to root out Federal employees who oppose Christianity—and it is irony of Biblical proportions.

There is no anti-Christian bias in American Government. There is anti-Jesus bias in MAGA Christianity.

The truth is, the Jesus of the Gospels wouldn't have stood a chance under this Administration.

When he told MAGA Americans to love their neighbor as themselves, they would have screamed at him to go back where he came from and spit anti-Muslim, anti-Semitic epithets from behind anonymous Nazi avatars, raising defiant middle fingers in his face.
