Would Jesus have lamented "they're attacking my identity?"

Would Jesus have complained about "a war on my culture"?

The purpose of Christianity is to imitate a life of Christ.

It's not about identity.

It's not about lifestyle.

It's not about culture.

The purpose of Christianism is to perpetuate an exclusive club, driven by lust for punishment & snooping & resentment, envy & judgement (which may or may not include no-bid contracts, an intrusive & self-entitled network of citizen informants, STASI, and apology-as-policy after the Dirty Wars have "disappeared" millions).

George Bernard Shaw famously quipped, "The last Christian died on the Cross."

What would Jesus say about Christianism?
