HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 day agoI’m not entirely sure Jesus would entirely disassociate from Kirk. I kind of think Kirk is the kind of person Jesus would seek out to either preach to or make an example of. He was found with the sinners and the tax collectors and the whores and the undesirables, if my inaccurate knowledge of theology is anything.

Kirk wasn’t an undesirable; he was much closer to a Pharisees or rich man, or maybe a Roman given his connection to empire: an oppressor who manipulated and interpreted law to his own benefit and publicly condemned the undesirables and anyone who would dare say the undesirables are beloved children of God.
If Jesus ate as his table, Jesus would say something against religious leadership or empire, which would add to the list of grievances they used to justify killing him.
