If you spend any time reading the Gospels and paying attention to Jesus you know that he spoke and taught about an alternative to how society functioned at that time. Jesus called that alternative the kingdom of God and his is a way to live as God dreams for us to live and not as we are lead to believe is the norm of civilization. The fact that Christianity is no different than what we see of civilization today ought to be scandalous. Jesus is not the founder of the Christianity you know, that was founded by a Roman Emperor.
