United Church of Christ News Release: SpongeBob welcomed by UCC
Wow, my heart warms! I feel like Rev. Thomas is channeling my progressive father, a Jewish-born Methodist minister who spoke up in his conference for the acceptance of gay ministers and with compassion for women who had unplanned pregnancies. At its heart, Christianity accepts everyone without judgement and relies on their faith in God to lead them in life. Jesus spent his whole life advancing notions of non-judgemental behavior (except when it came to money changers--you know, the guys who funded the inaugural for). He was progressive rabbi and a precursor for reformed Judaism (the latter being my chosen religion). Amen to more Christians like Rev. Thomas getting PR to help drown out the loud, vindictive and ridiculous voices of reactionaries who use Christianity to promote their fears and baseless suspicions.
