I’m all for laughing at the bigots, but in the centuries that Christianity had been co-opted as a state religion and as tool of power, we have lost sight of the fact that there are some real radical bomb shells in the New Testament.

Biblical Jesus was a radical anticapitalist and pacifist. We have been using his teachings to justify war and greed instead.
