One Yogurt March 26, 2024March 27, 2024 Decades ago I shared a beach house where, per House Rules, we split weekend food and beverage expenses evenly. It fell to me to do the tally each Sunday afternoon. One weekend it came to $62.40 a head. I checked my math and made the announcement. “Sixty-two dollars and forty cents?!” moaned Luis Sanjurjo, may he rest in peace. “But I only had one yogurt!” He’d been out house-hopping all weekend — no one disputed that — but rules are rules. We laughed, he cried — and paid up. That wildly expensive yogurt came to mind just now when, with Palm Sunday and Easter in the air, one of you kindly shared: Splitting the Bill at The Last Supper (42 seconds). However they wound up splitting it (and whatever your religious beliefs — I have none), Jesus’s teaching were clear. Love thy neighbor, judge not lest ye be judged — basically, be kind and help those less fortunate. He was so badly treated, you might expect to see, “I’d like to punch him in the face” someplace in the New Testament (“Two Corinthians” maybe?) but no. Instead, Jesus was the original bleeding-heart liberal. Where Biden is a pretty serious Catholic and empathetic family man, Trump is an irreligious bully. For him, white Christian nationalism is all about the white part. He loudly advocated the death penalty for five innocent black teenagers and, even after they were proven innocent, refused to express remorse. Yet millions today identify as Trump-loving white Christian nationalists. This New Report Suggests the Election Need Not be Played Out on Christian Nationalist Terms.
