Kurt Vonnegut once said that if it wasnt for the Sermon on the Mount, he wouldnt want to be a human being. Hed just as soon be a rattlesnake. I heartily agree. If you are, say, an atheist who happens to have stumbled onto this post and are turned off by the suggestion that the most quintessentially human-affirming moral address in the history of the world was given by Jesus, know this: that Vonnegut (whos up in heaven now -- obviously) was himself an avowed atheist. A card-carrying, dyed-in-the-wolverine atheist, who thought Jesus had it absolutely going on. Not only that, but Id wager that many of the things that piss you off about how most so-called Christians (or at least, the loudest) are conducting themselves these days are actually blatant violations of the Sermon on the Mount, itself... joshbarkey/2014/06/id-just-as-soon-be-rattlesnake.html
