Perhaps you will understand how
it is that I have a problem with most Christmas and Easter celebrations. Jesus
did a lot more for the poor, hungry, naked, sick and imprisoned than to just be
born and crucified; or even than to be raised from the dead.
IMO, Jesus and God must weep deeply when we put so much emphasis on those two events, and yet do not "do unto the least of these," Jesus' brothers and sisters as he taught us in the parable of The Sheep and the Goats.

The interesting thing to me about
modern Christianity is how seriously we take what has been called the Great commandment
(the Great Commission) and turn it into the only obligation on Christian
people. I have literally been told by Christians that we aren't required to
feed the hungry and clothe and naked, but that we are required first to save
their souls so they can go to heaven.
My big question I have is how can you get him to slow down and listen to you if their stomachs are growling so loud I can't hear you? How can you get them to slow down and listen to you when they're ashamed of the way they look because they're naked?
Jesus told us to keep all of his Commandments not just one.
