The Gospel for Trinity 4

(The Gospel for the 4th Sunday after Trinity is Luke 6:36-42. This isn't how it goes)

Remember that God in heaven is really super mean, so you have to be nice to make up for this.

Never say that anything that anyone does is wrong - that would be "judgmental". If you don't say that anyone has done anything wrong, then you can play dumb if God is mean to you. And if you can find it in your heart to forgive someone, that will earn your own forgiveness. You see, if you just work the system with your savvy, you can make God stop being a meanie and be nice to you.

Here's a parable. The smarter blind man has to let the other blind man lead - that way you'll have something soft to fall on when he leads you into a pit. And a good teacher will make sure that a student feels as though he has grown, but keep him down enough so that the student has to keep paying the teacher. You must be smart - if there is something in your eye, there has to be something much worse in your neighbor's eye, so go dive in and get it out of their eye - just dig around until you find it. Again, this will show how good you are.

So, to sum - never say anyone is wrong, just use them and try to fix them without speaking to them first or thinking about fixing yourself - cause you're an awesome person.
