it is all about ME

what the last year has made quite obvious is how little evangelicals have in common with Jesus (whose teachings, if i am not mistaken, they claim to follow.) while everything about Jesus was about you and us, everything about evangelicals is about the ME. it is about MY right to worship. it is about how gay marriage impacts ME and MY marriage. it is about MY believes that should govern you. it is about MY body and MY decision to get a vaccine or not.

in no way do these so called followers of Jesus think about US, or YOU. The focus should be “how can i ensure i don’t spread a deadly virus to others." And the same goes for the other believes that are so dear to the heart of evangelicals – from abortion to gay marriage, to vaccine and mask rules.

to follow in the steps of Jesus should be to focus on YOU and US, it is not about ME. The focus should not be on how others can make YOUR life better, or how they need to follow YOUR believes, it should be about how you can help the OTHER, how you and protect the OTHER, how you can support US.
