The new, right-wing take on the old Jesus prostitute story

We all know the story:  a group of men were about to stone a prostitute to death when Jesus stepped in and famously said, "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone."  Well, the right wing loves throwing stones.  So the new interpretation of that story is not that Jesus was saying, "You shouldn't throw stones," but rather he was saying, "I get to throw the first stone, because I am holier than thou."   As long as you believe that you are closer to Jesus than the other guy, it's perfectly fine to condemn, belittle, persecute, and harm your neighbor.  If Jesus were alive today, he'd be using His divine powers to slit the throats of all the Muslim heathens, the gays, the "lazy. inner-city" folks, the liberals, and anyone who would want any restriction on capitalism.    If you're not sure who Jesus would hate, just watch FOX news.  They are His spokesperson.
