News that I missed, courtesy of The Babylon Bee:
U.S.—Thanks to His renunciation of His exalted divine status and taking on human flesh 2,000 years ago, the Lord Jesus was criticized in an op-ed on Salon.com for his “insensitive” appropriation of human nature.
The Salon author wrote that the Messiah demonstrated an extreme sense of “divine privilege” by adopting elements of an already oppressed Middle-Eastern culture and exploiting them for His own oppressive salvific ends from eternity past:
You guys, it’s time to talk about Jesus’s inherently harmful act of cultural appropriation against all humanity. Who does this Savior guy think He is, taking on elements of human culture, such as an authentic human nature, a physical body, real emotions, and human relationships? Frankly, Jesus, we’d all appreciate it if You’d just stay in your lane.
The writer also claimed that the Savior’s constant microaggressions against all mankind represented a “grievous social injustice” that harmed the powerless, oppressed minority of humanity:
Why have we excused the Savior of the World for so long for constantly micro-aggressing against sinners? He called an oppressed woman at the well out for her adultery, he forced a disabled minority man named Zacchaeus to pay a bunch of money back to people he robbed. He even called for repentance, as though there’s something wrong with being a rebel against a holy God. It’s time for us to call Jesus out for who He really is: an oppressive, culturally appropriating, privileged micro-aggressor.
Go here to read the rest. The major “sin” of Jesus in the eyes of 21rst century liberals will always be that He is God and they ain’t.
The Bee is priceless. I hope they are able to separate their satire from what we are actually about to witness taking place in this country for at least the next two years.
Odd that when the left continually seeks to become masters of all things no one thinks to accuse them of appropriating the Divine.

Priceless. 👏
Did Our Lord Saviour have the Palestinian flag painted on his sandals and a PLO tea towel wrapped around his neck slinging rocks towards Jerusalem? Tsk tsk.
Narcissists always tear down the truth because they can never humble themselves enough to understand it.

Yes.. but that recognition will never stop their efforts to portray themselves as divine. They have no shame. Only pride.
Self deception is a robe of glory that they flaunt.
Jesus is Jesus, The Lord of heaven and earth.
