Faith

Is faith only good if good things come out of it? What if your faith causes you to harm others or hinder others from living fully? What if your faith causes you to be judgmental, critical of others, and discriminatory? What if your faith mixes with your politics?

The first sermon that Shane ever heard at my church when we were dating was titled "Jesus is a capitalist."

Jesus, a capitalist? Was that pastor reading the same gospels as I was?

I'd like to say that Jesus was a Buddhist, but that may be only because I really admire Buddhist teachings and feel that they line up most closely with what I think Jesus was trying to preach.
