The current cover of a "news" magazine.
I guess the left has now given up on eradicating Christianity in totality and now hope to subvert followers to their "reading" of the gospels.
And note Foreheads article about SCOTUS betrayal.
The Enquier has more integrity.
And note Foreheads article about SCOTUS betrayal.

The Forehead wants us to forget that SCOTUS’ duty is to uphold the Constitution not “us.”
How nice. An Easter special.
But it's not to be.
BY ANDREW SULLIVAN!!!! That pestilential denizen of the lavatory scene has the unmitigated gall to write about Christ!
Newsweek is racist. That’s a white, blonde, cracker Jesus. Everybody knows Jesus was black - just ask Rev. Jeremiah Wright, or Sharpton, or Jackson.
Damn racism is everywhere.
You sure this isn't Mad Magazine?

Jesus tells us to attend church, and not just to believe in him. So to follow Jesus requires us to go to church.
Andrew Sullivan, curiously enough, was a Freeper. Maybe he still is.
Since it is Newsweek,
More people will read this thread
Than the magazine.
I’m half surprised the cover was not a black Jesus with a hoodie
Then Andrew decided that getting state sanction of where he decided to put Lil' Andy was the most important issue in the World, and the rest is history...
The face of "Jesus" on the cover is supposed to remind us of Andy, by the way. Check out the beard.
To follow the church is to follow Jesus:
The eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had ordered them. When they saw him, they worshiped, but they doubted. Then Jesus approached and said to them, “All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.
“The Forehead wants us to forget that SCOTUS’ duty is to uphold the Constitution not “us.””
Funny that The Forehead would write that kind of column, considering he was saying that the best thing that could happen for Obama was to LOSE this decision, as that would give the base something to rally around.
...of course he said that before the preliminary decision was leaked to Obama and friends a week ago.
They conveniently forget that Jesus's forgiveness comes AFTER the sinner has repented.
Fr. Robert Barron, who made the excellent "Catholicism" series, had a good column responding to Sullivan's article in his Word on Fire blog. Here is the link to the Real Clear Religion page with the article.
“One dollar”
Following the Church and following Jesus are almost precisely the same thing. Liberals refuse to recognize that obvious fact, but it’s true. I have different weaknesses from those Andrew faces, but we both face temptations that are difficult to resist. The difference between the two of us is that I recognize both that God is correct on what is best for me and that I should follow His guidance rather than rewriting scripture to support my personal preferences. Sullivan would rather put words in God’s mouth than simply follow God’s Word. It’s a shame he won’t stop talking and writing long enough to hear God again. I have found far more happiness following the Bible than I could possibly have found following my far weaker judgement.
NEWSMEEK = the MSNBC of print media
“I’m sorry Duke, but your beard feels very scratchy on my scrotum!
As Father Barron makes clear, Andrew Sullivan is run of the mill, with nothing new and nothing worth reading in his attack on Jesus and thus, Christians.
