Evangelical Easter isn’t a perennial story of necessary death and resurrection; it’s often a promotional event. Resurrection is the ultimate culture war win. Jesus doesn’t descend; he freaking launches.

Jesus embodied a form of faith unfathomable to fundamentalism. He understood the more you know, the more you don’t know. The looser your grip on right and wrong, the greater your grasp of transformative wisdom.

God did not kill Jesus. Jesus was killed by law and order allied with religion.
