Power, Money, and Betrayal: Hijacking Christianity

Dorian Cole's article on Patheos explores the concept of "hijacking Christianity," arguing that power and financial gain have increasingly distorted its core message of love and service. He contends that historical and modern examples, such as the rise of "corporate Christianity" and the blending of political agendas with religious practices, demonstrate this deviation. Cole contrasts this with the actions of Jesus and the values of younger generations who prioritize authenticity and social justice. The piece references biblical verses and historical events to support its claim that the pursuit of wealth and influence can undermine the true essence of Christian teachings. Ultimately, the article calls for a return to the central principles of love, compassion, and working towards a better world for everyone. This is a public episode.
