Thank you social media for putting John’s quote in view.
Picture Jesus (or your religion’s supreme representative) talking to a picnic table full of middle school students at a town park.
Jesus talks passionately about how Love is the greatest of these: Faith, Hope and Love.
Jesus concludes his middle school lesson with a caveat to which He says, “You should love every human being….except for those people over there.”
“Over there” at another picnic table are two couples: one lesbian couple and one gay couple.
You can’t picture Jesus saying this to anyone, right?
We should never float that script around in our heads and hearts either.
Religious tradition and dogma should never paint Jesus (or your religion’s supreme representative) as homophobic or sexist (etc).
This is an X-ray view of what swims around in jeff-land. So grateful this post’s photo says the same thing this post says but in a different, complimentary way.

Many people judge funerals by the number of people that attend. These same people believe a bunch of people will then say nice things about the deceased person so that everybody can know what a great person the deceased was while on this planet.
This came to me now while biking past a cemetery. Just stopped to dictate this blog post. And it dawns on me it would be better for a person to have a great life and everyone important to that person knows exactly where they stand.
Essentially, the attendees wouldn’t need to hear a bunch of other people’s stories.
The attendees didn’t need a funeral to have other people share the deceased person’s story.
The attendees have their own library of wonderful memories.
