Jesus Christ As Climate Savior

To my sisters, and narrow-way brothers, in Jesus Christ as Supreme U.S. Savior, I reached U.S. voting age during the 70s. During this time, the Religious Right and Republican Party Center were about the same place; not distinguishable, inscrutable, perhaps. In strong conserving defense of retail-commodified AntiChristmas, wrapped in Fundamentally-Wrong Christian and Way-Not-True Roman Catholic Orthodox Never-Even-Think-About-Change-Or-Evolution as Co-Relational Tradition, (although what on Earth do you think was on Jesus' mind having been brought up to be a good Jewish Orthodox boy, with regard to the change/not-change Tradition dilemma?) Religious Republicans described Feminists, GLBTQ Civil Rights, and Earth and Immigrant CommonRights Advocates, as leaders of an increasingly powerful godless, immoral, relativistic derailing system. Economists and Politicians and Ecologists and Therapists who supported ubiquitous freedom toward integrity and freedom from dominating GodLust Exegesis of Orthodox ReGenerativity, were leading us away from your Beacon City of Calvinistic Judgment, supremely sitting as WinLose King of the otherwise blotted blighted Hill; a Hill which other Christians still more primally felt as ecological WinWin Earth's nurturing network nest. Or, at least this was the way Conservative Christian consciousness was portrayed, reflecting back on us and to us by media and academic institutions, and sometimes heard in our homilies, yet there is little, if any, economic support for this view of 1970's Religious Republicanism. Could it be, I wonder, our cultural historians, talk show pundits, and our own clergy, often misunderstood our Religious Right's Republican Center in a Holy Spirit of ecological, primal co-redemptive relationalism, misunderstood as mere secular relativism, more accurately exegeted as One Body of EnSpirited Christ, both Patriarchal and Matriarchal, both Conserving DNA-encrypted Tradition and Nurturing Nutritional-EcoRelational Integrity, but each primally, originally, embryonically virgin-wombed within Earth's nurturing compost of Matriarchal-CoOperative EcoPolitics; Mother's Milky Sacred ReGenerative BeComing. A U.S. history, or any history, of ecopolitical revolutions is also a continuing teleological story of religion's embryonic through millennial phylogeny, maturation of ecological democratic evolution. The Christian Right reformed both Republicanism and U.S. Christian belief systems to fit secular enculturing beliefs, rather than noticing the richer civil, Earth, and immigrant nurturing opportunities side of Christ's bicameral humane-divine Body, speaking about how uniting the nations of both Americas with all the integral-healthing nations of Earth could be revolutionary change led by true Orthodox and Beautifully Beloved Communities, ecological, ecosystemic, ecopolitical Christians in solidarity with all EarthTribe Others. Throughout the 70s, a majority of Christian Republican women, and a large minority of Christian Republican men, usually did not miss opportunities to support universal civil and Earth rights and integrative, nurturing compassion for Sojourners at the margins and borders of our international health as wealth economy. This continues to this day. Most lay leaders in our Christian churches, black and white, occasionally even black and white and Hispanic and Other together, are Christian women and Other who know in our reborn again Holy EnSpirited Hearts that Jesus of Nazareth was the First among CoMessianic nurturing, ecological, ecopolitical equals, to carry Earth's regeneratively compassionate love in our guts, as Earth has given rise to Religious Right Republicans, deep heart-learning centered, agapic-erotic integrative listeners, healthy humane-divine Left-Right us, eco-embodied Holy Spirits, CoMessiahs of love's polypathy co-mentoring nutritional wisdom speaking ecological narrative, after listening ecosystemic regenerative. If we are reborn through co-empathic belief in a shared Commons-Holy Enspirited wombed Body of Christ, then we are of Virgin (0)-sum ecopolitical rebirth and, if so, we are transgenderally originally regeneratively recreated for optimizing ecopolitical healthy wealth abundance of nurturing love fertility and beauty and goodness through polypathic nutritional integrity. One dimensional bilateral erotic biological climax time is also four dimensional transubstantiating agapic-ecological spacetime. Each Christian Ego had to begin somewhere, sometime. It is our shared embryonic polypathic experience and faith and belief and truth and empathic trust this spacetime is both Alpha Yang Erotic and Omega Yin Agapic, timeless West-East Nature-Spiritual nondual co-arising Ego/Eco-Logical Wisdom. At least, so it seems within this regeneratively evolving, but also degeneratively devolving, bicameral conserving-integrating Left-Right mindbody of Christ's Co-Empathic Climate of Trust.
