Yes, nice article. The right wing deliberately turns anything and everything into the service of their desire for greater concentration of power. The real Jesus was as left wing as it comes, speaking against power hierarchies and was executed for it. The religious Right today has picked up the banner of a very old right-wing effort to turn Jesus on his head and install him as a symbol of hierarchical domination. One of the saddest movements in history.
