CEO Jesus: You Had Me At The Retirement Plan<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"CEO<\/a>After a long hiatus, CEO Jesus is back.\u00a0 This comic was inspired by a poem I wrote recently:<\/p>\n

This poem and political cartoon is a parody of the often namby-pamby, first-world Christianity that passes for following Jesus these days.\u00a0 I sometimes joke that I wish there was a religion where the founder was a nonviolent rabble-rouser crucified by the state, perhaps even as their fellow clansmen stood complicit.\u00a0 That’s a leader to which I could relate. \u00a0 I occasionally wonder what Christianity would look like if we amped it up so that, say, 1% of Christians were killed as a direct result of their radical love challenging the powers that be of this world.\u00a0 What if Christians seriously risked destitution or death for the cause of love more commonly than building “secure” retirement plans?\u00a0 These are the kinds of questions that haunt me and in which I find little traction or resonance within the walls of American Christianity.\u00a0 Ahhh, for a Church that boldly embraces such questions; this is the Church I long for…<\/p>\n
